Gibbons, representing the Griggs-Collins
faction Of Democracy, says:
When 1 get through with this matter the al
legged forged kilograms denouncing Wal!ace) no
one will care TO say there Is any forgery. ! will
show that they were signed by all the men
whose names were attached. Mr.. Carroll can
not heap indignation on me and escape without
. reckoning. Iwant to see Carroll. then viii
b ready to make . written statement
Some idea Of what Mr.. Gibbons proposes
to do may be gathered from the following
illustrations which he made use Of to-
night:
The vermin OF our party 10 In the pit and am
waiting - let 20 the dog that viii pitch in and
kill the vermin. The Democratic party has been
m:sfepresented In this state. Twill tell tho
quarrel. but If this thing goes on there will be
duel. 80 TO speak. Mr.. Wallace will have to de-
fend himself.
Tiiiicums have limited that some Of the
signers of the solemn protest" telegram
had financial strings on Mr.. Gibbons. and
that was the reason why he kept silent re-
garding sending of the telegram. He says:
lowe no man q dollar, and am controlled
by no man. will make . statement In writing
ct the proper time. I am glad to be tho repre-
sentative OF men who represent 100000. but
owe them nothing and they don't control me.
l want NO Office. but object to tin-horu poll.
ticians getting in and runaing things
Leroy Palmer, secretary Of the city Dem.
ocratic committee, returned today from
fishing trip. which has occupied
his time since the Posr. INrELLl
eExcER published the telegram in
dorsing b. F. Jossey, of this city,
for postmaster, and which Michael Dowd
and also which President Malone. of the
Tillcum Club. says is on file in the Western
Union telegraph office in Mr.. Palmer's
handwriting. But Mr.. Palmer stoutly
denies that he knows anything about the
anything to do With 1t. Like about every
body connected with the alleged forged
kilograms except Senator Foss. Mr.. Palmer
thing of the past, and he wishes it
dropped. He imagines by publishing the
news newspapers are bent on dividing the
was signed to the Jossey telegram and yet
sage. Miles w. Gibbons. Mr.. Palmer
and Representative w. d. Il. Anderson
are looked upon by the Tillicums rs the
men who know all about the ''forgeries.
All the men whose names are signed to
the kilograms are openly accused OF know
ing more or less about them. but Messrs.
Gibbons, Anderson, Palmer and Carroll
are credited with predonderanee Of
knowledge in the matter.
One thing 10 credited to witty Mr.. Gibbons
about the time the telegram denouncing
Mr.. Wallace was sent on to the president
and cabinet Those who recall dates
readily aver that about April % last
Messrs. Carroll, Griggs, Anderson and
Gibbons came together or we're seen about
Miles cafe on Tenth street. The telegram
to the president was sent April @, and it
is believed that that was the day when the
whole matter was cooked up in the cafe
around the corner from Pacific avenue.
At any rate, the day after. Mr.. Gibbons
let it be known that certain things had
been contaminated that would drive .
big nail into Hugh G. Wallace's coffin.
All the Tillieums now believe Miles then
referred to the absolutely disrupt" and
solemn protest., telegram. President
Malone. of the TilIicums, also shows fight.
He promises to make things just as inter-
esting for Gibbons As Gibbons promises to
make things interesting for Wallace. In
the meantime the postmaster-elect and
others are being ioked about being the
vicious" candidates whom the Griggs-
Collins dispatch announced that Wallace
was supporting. Some of these jokes have
caused Mr. Case, who. by the way. has
always been willing to meet the war horses
half way, to say:
Itiooks as II the president took waliace's
word AZ against the statement OF al the promt-
nent gentlemen who are charged with siguiug
that telegram That is the significant part OF
IL. still. do not believe for moment that Gil
Of the gentlemen whose names were attached to
the telegram in the published dispatch author
ICED the telegram.
