Speaking OF bis visit the Enqutrer.San
says: He perhaps has had the most unique
experience Of any man IN the United States.
While serving term es q convict In the
penitentiary he made the race for state
senator Of the Atchison dissrict and received
twice as many votes es his competitor. He
was sent up In 1888 for the charge OF using
the United States mails for fraudulent pur-
poses. He claims that it happened through
the influence of political ring IN that
county which be had fought very
bitterly through the columns Of his news
paper, and finally managed 10 defeat In q
local confess. By that means he says he
became the object Of their hatred and when
ID was made public that he would run for
the Senate, they determined to defeat him
by disgracing him. Accordingly the charge
OF using the mails for fraudulent purposes
was hatched up against him, and as the
United States district judge was a member
of this alleged ring he stood no chance
whatever, and was sent 10 the coal mines
for eighteen months.
In the course Of his remarks he detailed
the terrible suffering Of convicts life and
told his experience along with 1t. He was
extremely bitter in his denunciation of the
way In which convicts are treated, declar-
ing that they, haven't as many rights as so
many dogs.
He made his announcement as q candi-
date by slipping note to friend who had
called to see him in prison. and his paper
was filled with It, The peniteniary warden
became very angry because he had managed
to send this note to the outside and wouldn't
allow him any communication whatsoever
with the outside world, and he did not hear
that he had received the flattering majority
and been elected until some time sfterward
OF course he was disfranohised and couldn't
hold office. but be considered 1t vindica-
tion.
He served out sixteen of the eighteen
months OF his sentence, and was pardoned
because of good behavior.
He appeared on the streets Monday after
noon In o striped conviot's coat and went
up and down Broad street blowing a oornet
and announcing that he would speak. OF
course he gets something out Of all this. for
