1T Ia hardly necessary for me to
express an opinion upon the subject

corning the attacks made upon Mr..
Hammond and his associates by some
of the press Of this city, As the others
have stated In their communications
and interviews. We all know that Mr
| Hammond has more than kept faith
with w in the matter OF building the
railroad. His private character cannot
be so much damaged by such reports
as the city of Astoria. The whole AS
toria proposition has been damnified BY
the slandcrous reports circulated

"Taylor's letter was mrh-needed
document Not so much because OF
the injury done to us at home by the
circulation through some of our news
papers of the false reports referred 10
by him, but the incalculable damage
done to the entire community abroad
Is In my mind the great point To be
remedied. We, here In Astoria, know
the papers which have made such re-
ports, and to how much credence they
are entitled, People in the East, how
ever and oven in other portions Of
Oregon, naturally think there Is some
truth in such statements when they
are permitted from time to time to be
circulated without denial on the part
of ourselves

work in this city and vicinity. An old
time partner and friend of mine who
worked with me on railroad construc-
tion years ago. and who is now one
of Corey Brothers foremen, told me
that never before had he seen such
substantial railroad construction in
every particular, as the Astoria and
Columbia River Railroad as already
completed, We ought to help Ham
mond, or any one else who will do as
much for the town as he has done,
have worked on railroad grades and
tracks myself and know what am
talking about. Hammond has done
magnificent piece of work, and the un-
truthful criticisms which have been
made only hurt the town permitting
them to be spread abroad, If the cit

abuse and are willing to walt for an
other generation to reap the benefits
of the railroad, instead of building up

Farmer an article In which notice is
given, August IA, that series of "non-

stead charges that these are the
articles furnished by the Republican
committee. It prints a table of the
circulation Of the Farmer previous to

articles commenced to appear, it as.
serts the circulation was but 1000 a
week, but that during the time the
alleged deal was in progress 10000

The rest of the long article is of an
editorial nature, explaining the Home.

1t asserts that the article was not made
public during the campaign for fear it
would tend to partisan ends, which the
paper did not desire, being n.psr-

Six distinct charges in bold-fsCe type
close the article, each one asserting the
charges made above, and those hit are
advised to sue for libel If they are not
satisfied. Advance proofs of the srti-
Gle have become public and have caused
q big stir in political circles. The Re.
publican politicians threaten to join
with Wallace in a suit against the

editors say they court this, as it will
give them a chance to produce their
evidence, and promise to drag into

HANNA'S SCHEME EXPOSED.
His Plan to Buy the Agricultural Press
Given to the Public.

In 9 recent issue of the st. Louis
Post Dispatch, the following, under
Des Molnes, Ia, date line, was given:
The Homestead, an agricultural
paper published here, will tomorrow
in a special edition of 100000 copies,
expose the methods of Mark Hanna in
purchasing the agricultural papers of
the central West, particularly in the
doubtful States, to influence the farm.
ers away from silver. The article,
consisting of $1,000 words, makes di-
rect charges that papers were bought,
and challenges those implicated to sue
for libel. 1t directly charges that
W0llace'S Farmer, published here,
and estimates that fully 5000, 900 was
spent to buy other papers in Iowa, In
diana, Ne brssks, Illinois, Minnesota,
Ohio and Michigan. Although names
of the men who carried on the deal are
not given, they are described. The
descriptions fit United States Sens-
tor, National Committeeman and sew
ersl Iowa State politicians.
The Homestead says 1t was itself in
Vited into the deal and gives the en-
tire transaction away. 1t tells of
conferences with Republican leaders
held with James M. Pierce, manager,
S. F. Stewart, editor, both here and in
Chicago, and says the price offered
was $4,000. In return for this the
Homestead was to publish articles dis
gulsed as non. partisan, to be furnished
by writer's in the employ of the Repub-
ltCsn. committee, and to refuse to pub.
lish communication from silver men
until the close of the campaign. Thou
sands Of sample copies Of the paper
were to be sent to the addresses Of
doubtful farmers, gathered by the
County Committeeman In the Central
Western States. Pierce and Stewart
say they led the Republican managers
on until they understood the whole
deal; secured the names of papers
bought and the price paid, and then
broke off negotiations.
The article exposing the alleged deal
opens with statement that sgricul-
tursl papers should be non-psrtissn;
that they should be unpurchsssble be-
cause they are depended on by the
farmers to tell the truth, free from
party bias, 1t says that different sets
of Republican workers operated with
different papers, 80 that exposure
would be more difficult if anything
went wrong.
Mr.. Pierce, in his part of the article,
says ne was summoned by prominent
politician to a conference early In July;
that he was asked to 60 into the deal
and that 1t was explained to him that at
that time Iowa was for silver by 10000
votes, and that something must be
done to get the farmers In line. Psrti.
san papers could not do it, he was
told, because the farmers were suspi.
Cious of partisan papers, and that
what was wanted was an apparently
non-psrtisan discussion of the ques.
tion without reference to Republicans
or Democrats. 1t would take time to
bring them back into line.
Then follows a long explanation of
the methods used to get the Homestead
into line. Editor Stewart went to Chi
