St Louis June II (SpeciaD. The adoption by

dicks In attempting to make an election to the
United States Senate the subject Of sale and

point where he had almost persuaded himself
that the corrupt methods practaed by him I'm a
political community debauched by generations
OF Democratic ascendancy could with equal sue
cess be brought into play before n body repre-
9entlng the best elements Of the Republican
party throughout the country.
This faulty on the part OF n man who has
aptly been described as moral IDIOT by ex-
Senator Higgins. led him to appeal from the de-
cision Of the National Committee to the Commit

petely blinded him 10 the folly OF carrying the
contest to the floor Of the Convention itself The
result might have been foreseen by anybody ex-
cept Addlcks. 1t surprises no one except the
miserable dupes of his vulgar ambition
