The list Of honor grows. ANDREW j.
CAMPBELL, Republican in the Tenth dis
trict, writes to THE Sun complaining that
his name has not appeared. That Is only
because our reporters had not succeeded in
seeing Mr.. CAMPBELL when the list Of honor
was printed last time. Mr.. CAMPBELL's
sentiments, as expressed in his communi-
cation by letter, show very plainly where
his name belongs. The italics are his own :
~ ask you to say for me- II you please that a seat
in Congress offered to me by the unanimous
OF the people upon condition that should for
in any possible manner sustain the income tar law.
should most emphdftcdnp decline e. Thafs that ia,c."
JOSEPH p. FITCH Democrat in the First
district, declines to go on record now, but
promises to talk about the income tax
little later.
A constituent Of the Hon. LEMUEL ELY
QUIGa asks us to take from the list of honor
the Fourteenth district, on the ground that
at mass meeting in Harlem last week Mr..
CoNNELLY made a speech in which he said,
as reported by the Upto,cn Visitor:
"In regard to the personal income tax he thought
that since II was law It should be carried out; and
he, for one would be guided by the light afforded by
its results"
We cannot take Mr.. CoNNELLY's name
down on the strength Of such testimony as
this. The report of his remarks in Harlem
is obviously inexact; and, on the other
hand, THE Sun has Mr.. CoNEELLY's distinct
statement in reply to our specific questions:
" l am against the income tax. II should
be elected and the income tax should come
up, should certainly vote against it."
There is yet time for the half-hearted enc
mics Of the Populist income tax to get upon
the list of honor. There is time for
dodgers and towards to make up their
minds and put themselves right before the
voters of New York and Brooklyn. Our ex-
plorations have shown one thing conclu-
sively. So far is it from being true that a
strong public sentiment here favors the in
come tax, as its chief newspaper advocate
has impudently asserted, that not one can
didats, either Democrat or Republican, not
eren the special admirers OF Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND, has ventured to declare himself as the
friend and supporter of the infamous law.
