The Telegram" Unwittingly Presents It's
Indeiible stains for Public View.
The midnight assassin who calls upon
his victims widow the day after he has
removed his man and condoles with
her, could be no more inconsistent than
the Telegram. when il calls attention to
several bills Of expense that have been
paid out of the States treasury TO mem
bers of the Legislature.
kThe Telegram with considerable whang-
ing Of its bazoo mentions that certain
Democrats as well rs Republican legisla-
tors have been paid sums of money largely
in excess OF that collected bv Mr.. William
T.. &. Wardwell for his Washington trip,
for services on certain investigating COM
mittee.
For each and every one OF those bills, for
every dollar OF expense, the Telegram WAS
wholly and alone responsible.

concerning the officials at the State
Prison, the State Farm, the SOckanosset
and Oaklawn schools, and the State Home
and School.
Brockway egged on the Telegram to call
for an investigation, aud as a Democratic
governor was in office and the party con-
trolled the lower branch of the legislature
several official inquiries.
Legislators were called upon day after
day % sit and listen TO the lies the oily
tougued Brockway and his willing tools
invented. They were Obliged to neglect
their own business affairs, and at the con-
clusion of the Investigations were paid so
much per diem by a concurrent vote of
the Legislature, the Democratic house
first passing upon the bill. The Democrats
also paid their own pages, door tender,
deputies and mileage and witness fees to
the people who were summoned to give
their evidence and TO those who made SER
vice of the summons.
The telegram has not half told the tale
