Whether the editor of the Journal

shameless, malicious and false publ

Editor Journal, Ne,O York CITY,:
DEAR Shiny attention has been
called to "Thumbnsil Sketch No. g."
which appeared in the Journal Of Feb.
rusry IA last, the subject of the sketch
being "Psffer the Popullst." The
sketch is q string of fslSehoOdS from
beginning to end. Every material
statement In 1t is false. Aud bellev-
ing you would not have admitted nc to
your columns had you known It's char
scter, in justice to you and to me, ask
you to publish this letter.
My election by thirty eight majority
Is pretty good evidence that neither
''craWled" into the Senate nor bought
my way in.
My room In the Maltby building was
furnished just aS the rooms assigned
to other Senators were furnished, diff.
fering In no particular. Senator Irby
Of South Carolina took the room ad-
joining mine, and Senator Gordon of
Georgia took the next. Their furnish
ings were exactly the same as mine,
and 30 1t was with all the rest. And
there has been no change since.

was not then In Washington, nor had
she been, except 90 she passed through

clerk until the next winter, and, Of
course, received no salary.
AS to my daughter deadheading her
way home on q Congressional funeral

PsfEer crept to the Senate. At his advent
his fellow elder statesmen felt much distaste.
He was gaunt and long and humble. His
beard was thin, sparse; starved and vagrant
thing. At that time PETER could have posed
and made q snccess--ag q model for Want, or
Famine. or any other specimen Of wan and
hunger-b1tten art He was silent; retiring to
the point OF shrinking. He replied with 3
soft slowness when addressed. His hand was
given to you reluctantly, and when you took
hold you found IL damp and cold, like tree

acorn head was that Of some mild, reserved
condor. When he addressed the Senate he
became even more the condor, and would soar
and sail, and sail and soar In q dresry, effort

Yet men mislead themselves with PETERS

his way he's dangerous; all the more danger

One day, ss the shrewd Jerry Simpson and

Simpson was two.thirds right When PETER
came, as has been suggested, he was In che
eyes Of the others poor, desplsed thing. But
something came to pass which offered advan-

four years ago. The elections threw Senate
mastery in doubt. The two big parties were
about even. Each needed PETER to win.
Then the meek and lowly Populist burst

His room in the Maltby building, whore the
Senators are each given 9nVapSrtment, was

world like some exile to some Senate Siberia.

He will have charge of the camp and
he should decide what should be done
about carriages. 1t might be a good
plan to make a charge for carriages and
in that manner the number that would
enter the camp would be limited. Car
riageS and wagons are something of a
nuisance on the camp ground at best

to ride around, but the question now is
one of convenience"
Il do not believe there will be room
on the grounds for teams" suggested
J. G. Samuelson.
Il think, under the circumstances -
said Department Commander Whitney,
that charge for carriages should be
made. I say this in view of the crowd
ed condition of the grounds and the
tact that the Committee of Fifteen is
behind in its financial affairs. 1 am in
favor of charging for teams
4 believe that the best way would be
for the commander to issue an order
that no teams be allowed in the camp -
said Captain @. H. Titus.
I'VE have about 1000 subscribers to
the Festival fund" said Treasurer
Greenwald, and they will all get tick
cts of admission. Most of them have
carriages. I do not believe it would
pay to make a charge when such a
large number would be admitted any
how. The commander can issue an
order at any time if he finds it neces-
Sary to keep out vehicles
Ma or Anderson moved that the whole
question of the admission of vehicles
be left with the department commander
and the motion was carried with but
little opposition.
A resolution was passed requesting
the Commercial club to take charge of
the launching" of the Galveston
steamship which is now being built
at the grounds and Major T J. Ander-
son and c. P. Adams were sent as q
committee to carry the resolution to
the Commercial club.
The Commercial club accepted the in
vitatiOn and appointed the following
committee to make arrangements for
the ceremony: A. W. Dana, w. H.

KOMMITTEE TO KAVORT
Committee of Fifteen Feel So
Good Because the Festival
Is to Be an Enormous Success
That It's Expected
They Will Join in the KarnivalKnight
Themselves-An Important and
Busy Meeting Last Night.

The Committee of Fifteen held a
meeting last night The members were
all in excellent humor, Notwithstanding
the fact that the treasurer reported a
shortage of over $1,000; that was just
a thousand less than was feared.
The members of the committee tit
tered like schoolgirls at the least provo
cation and laughed uproariously at
commonplace remarks. The cause OF
all the mirth was the fact that an enor-
nous load is about to be taken off the
minds of the committee and the sue
cess of the festivities of next week IS
already assured.
F. H. Foster appeared before the
committee and said that he had a plan
to help the committee out in a financial
way. He proposed to give a racing
matinee at Camp Miles some afternoon
and charge a small admission to the
grand stand. He thought the commit
tee might net a nice little sum in that
way.
on motion of A K. Rodgers Satur-
day afternoon was set apart for race
meeting and Mr. Foster is to have en-
tire charge Of the affair and give the
committee half the net proceeds A
charge of not more than % cents for the
grand stand is to be made
saThere will be three races, two trot-
sting contests and a, pacing race. Mr..
Foster says he is satisfied that he can
secure enough horses to make the races
as interesting as any seen in Topeka
this year.
The question Of whether carriages
should be admitted to the grounds or
not provoked considerable discussion.
I think that we should respect the
wishes of Commander Whitney in this
matter" said Major T. ]. Anderson
