NEWSPAPER HYPOCRISY.

The Indianapolis News has travelled a
long and crooked road since it's founder
established for it a reputation for honesty
and fair dealing. 1t still affects to possess
those virtues, but the imitation is SO tawdry
as to deceive no one. Even old-time friends
who have chung to it because of early asso-
Citations have become Disguised with its
pretenses, and the hypocrisy and unfair
ness of it's course during the present cam
paign have proved particularly odious to
readers who looked to it for facts upon
which they might judge for themselves as
to the merits of the respective political
tickets. There is a class of citizens who
believe in nonpartisanship in municipal af-
fairs and prefer to judge of candidates by
their individual merits solely. The Journal
believes that the best results in local as
we'll as general government can be obtained
through party control, but it believes also
in securing clean, honest and trustworthy
men as party candidates. When this is not
done in its own party it believes in having
mistakes rectifed by the removal of the OBJ
jectionable man from the ticket: when it is
not done by it's opponents it believes in
setting forth the truth concerning the I'M
fit aspirants to places of trust that the
public may protect itself against them.
Surely, the same honorable course might
be expected from a paper which assumes
more virtues than are on the calendar and
claims nonpartisanship as it's speciality. The
Journal has nothing extenuated nor aught
set down in malice concerning the Taggart
administration. 1t has told the truth as it
has found IT, 1t has published facts and
offered proof of its assertions. The News
has not told the truth. 1t has lied and MIS-
represented persstently both in it's news
and editorial columns. 1t has tried to con-
ceal the unpleasant facts about Mr.. Tag
CART and his friends where 1t could, and
has boldly denied their truth where some
thing must be said. Ii has published
garbled interviews with citizens of whom it
protested to be seeking information it has
INDUCED in sneers and innuendoes concern
ing the Republican candidate-it had no facts
to his detTiment. 1t has. in short, proved
itself untrustworthy and mendacious, and
more bitterly and narrowly partisan than
any party paper of the Journals acquaint-
ance. Its humble and obedient trucking
has perhaps made it solid with the Taggart
respect of it's best class of readers and has
proved It's boasted independence to be d
ridiculous humbug.

CAMPAIGN IN GREATER NEW YORK.

No local campaign in this country has
ever attracted so much attention as that in
progress in the Greater New York. There
were three candidates in the field-the Re-
publican, Tammany and the Citizens when
a new factor appeared in the remarkable
Henry George. With the exception of Tam
manys, the candidates men of wide if
not of national reputation. General Tracy,
the Republican candidate is one of the
ablest lawyers in the country, and was one
of the ablest and most progressive secre-
taries of the navy the country ever had.
He laid down the law that no mechanic
should be discharged for any cause except
inefficiency, and, having laid the law down,
it was rigidly enforced. Mr.. Low, the Citi-
zens' candidate, stands for nonpartisanship
and business methods, as if they are not
possible under a Republican or Democratic
administration. In 1883 and 1892 Mr.. Low
voted for Mr.. Cleveland STILL he calls HIM
self a Republican. He was mayor Of Brook
Ign one term, but was not a greater sue
cess than the best of the partisans. Tam
manys candidate is the choice of Boss
Croker. He is neither well known nor To-
cally popular. Henry George is the apostle
of the single tax and the common proprie-
tor of many vagaries. intellectually he is
an able man. With three candidates in the
field, he came near being elected mayor in
New York about a dozen years ago, having
the support of the Knights of Labor
The votes which Mr.. Low will receive will
come mainly from the Republican party
on the other hand, the bulk of the George
vote will come from Tammany. The en-
thusiasm which Mr.. George calls forth
would lead to the belief that he will take
nearly half of Tammanys strength. Tam
many has made bluff by putting up $780,
600 to $4,000 that Tammany will win. If,
however, George has the support which he
now appears TO have he will stand better
chance of election than does the candidate
of Tammany. Four-ffths of the vote which
Mr. Low will receive will come from the
Republican party. The managers of the
Low party. for the most part, are mug
wumps rather than Republicans or Demo-
Gratis. The Democratic contribution TO the
ticket is about one-ifth of the votes cast
for 1t. They are the Cleveland Democrats,
and they show great dexterity in getting
their names on the Low ticket. Indeed,
their eagerness for place is much like that
of other persons-partisans and the vulgar.

A BAsELEss LIE.

Late last night small sheet, bearing the
headline used on Truth. the campaign pa
per issued enthusiastically by c. F.
Smith in furtherance of his candidacy for
mayor, was issued and circulated about the
streets. 1t contains but little reading mat
ter, and all it does contain is devoted to
what purports to be an expose Of street
railway affairs. In brief, it states that a
sum of 100000 was last winter to be ex-
torted from the Citizens Company. The lit
tie handful goes on to say that Mr.. c. F.
Smith recently had a conference at Pitts
burg with H. Sellers Mckee, who told him
that the agreement concerning the extor-
ton of the money from the Citizens Com
pany had been put in writing and that
three copies of it were in existence 1t is
then charged that a prominent physician
was to receive large sum with which he
was to FIX the Indianapolis newspapers.
Mr. Mckee is quoted as saying:
MSrris Ross was down for stipulated
sum, and Harry New was to have $40 900

An effort was made last night to bring
this matter to the attention of Mr. Smith.
but he could not be found. Under the cir
cumstances, and this accusation being made
on the eve of an election, the Journal, in
absence of Mr.. Smith, does not charge that
gentleman with responsibility fer it. But
Harry s. New, says that this charge, so
far as it relates either to this newspaper
or Mr.. New. whether made by H. Sellers
absolutely and unqualifiedly false

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.

The Taggart organs are just now engaged
in abusing Sterling r. Holt and extoling
Thomas Taggart. They tell us but for Mr..
Holt none of the evils which have attended
the Taggart administration would have ex-
listed. Even the getting of the Taggart boys
into the park territory is charged upon Mr..
Holt. And yet Mr.. Taggart alone would
have been benefited by the sale. A great
howl of righteous Indignation is kept up
over the fve-thousand-dollar scandal, yet
all the evidence presented goes to show that
the mayor knew of it some time before the
exposure. One OF these days Mr. Holt may
feel it to be his duty to himself to tell the
names OF those who got portions of the
5000
Mayor Taggart and Mr. Holt have been
inseparabie "Reminiscences twins in poll
tics and business. The mayor has been
more facie manipulation, but Mr.. Holt has
been the man who has furnished the brains
and real stamina Putting the firm name in
the order of the capacity and influence of
its members it would be Holt & Taggart.
For ten years, III politics, they have been
friends of the bed-fellow variety. No two
men have been closer and more confidential.
Their intimacy has been of the David and
Jonathan quality.
If Mr.. Taggart shall be mayor again. Mr..
Holt will in some manner be his adviser as
he has been in the past. 1t will continue to
be the Holt-Taggart administration as of
old. Mr.. Holt is not now directing the
campaign, because the panic-stricken lead
ers have resolved that the only way to save
Taggart was to throw Mr.. Holt overheard
If they had not lost their heads a week ago
the News would have been defending Mr.
Holt as it now defends the mayor.
1t is idle to assume that Mr.. Holt would
do anything without the knowledge of the
mayor 1t is absurd to say that all the
scheming to keep the mayors boys in the
park territory was done by Mr.. Holt in ig-
norance of the mayor himself. Mr.. Tag
CART did know it and his knowledge makes
his offense vastly more damaging than that
of Mr.. Holt

Miss CisnerOs.
Chicago Post


Up to this hour of writing the report of
the escape of Miss Csneros has not been
corrected, hence we presume she is on her
under the personal supervision of the genial
Major Pond. We believe that her escape
is wholly due to the petitions sent up TO the
throne of grace by the tender-hearted ladies
of America and England, and is In no way
connected with the huge bundle OF letters
forwar ded to Madrid. We are firm believers
in the mercy of Providence, but we never
did have much confidence in the Queen Re-
gent Of Spain. When Miss Cisneros lands
in this home of the free and completes her
arrangements for her platform appearances
she may command us for a reasonable
amount of free advertising, although we
sadly shaken by Consul General Lees as
surances that she 'is not particularly
pretty" when we have been led to believe
that she is ravishingly beautiful, with lus-
trous eyes that melt the soul and intiame
the heart. Under these changed conditions
we submit to her American managers that
it would be more profitable to keep her off
the platform and pay her to write syndicate
letters The fact that she is unacquainted
with our language and has only a small
command of her own, should not interfere
with the enterprise, as there are not a few
bright young men who would gladly write
we can keep on using the old pictures of
Adelaide Nelson and other famous beauties
until the young woman has raised herself
above want. And now abideth faith. hope
and charity, these three Faith and hope
have been pretty effectually squelched by
the consul general, but, heaven be praised
charity suffereth long and is kind.

DEcENCY AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP.

A vote for Taggart is a vote for decency
ana good cltizenship.-The News.
A vote for Taggart is a vote for a man
whose administration has been marked by
more scandals than any one in the history
of the city. A member of his Board of
Works was forced to resign for an unbe-
coming business transaction-after public
opinion became too strong to permit of his
retention. His chief of police resigned for
good and sufficient reasons-after the public
demanded a change A member of the Park
Board accepted 5000 from a sewer con-
tractor and resigned-after the public found
him out. Half a dozen people, including
two members of the Park Board, are in
voved in an effort to sell to the city for
$4,000, later for $4,000, tract of bog land
worth $1,000 belonging to the mayor; none
of these men has yet resigned The mayor
asserts that he ordered his land Withdrawn
and processes ignorance as to how it ever
got back but his professions do not explain
how the land got in in the first place nor
clear him from the suspicion that he was
willing to profit by dsreputable deal-un-
til he got found out. The mayor has not
yet resigned.
A vote for this man, who is himself
smirched, and whose administration has
been a series of scandals and a monument
of msmanagement the News says is vote
for decency and good citizenship Indian
apolis is in a bad way if the voters have
no better idea of decency and good citizen
shin than this

The News, which brazenly declares that
there Is nothing improper in the mayor s
connection with the putting of his boys. at
five times their market value, in the park
limits, should go from the defense of the
Indianapolis Tammany to the succor of the
original Democratic Tammany in New York.
The New York Tammany is utterly without
an organ. The World supports Mr.. Low, the
Journal Mr.. George, both utterly repudiatng
the Tammany over which Croker presides.
In no respect is the New York Tammany
worse than that of Indianapolis. 1t put sa-
loon keepers under tribute, and so does the
Taggart Tammany; it blackmailed con-
tractors, and so does the Taggart Tammany
it uses the public money for campaign pur-
poses, and so does the Taggart Tammany.
These crimes of the New York Tammany
Independent and regular Democratic papers
like the World and Journal will not sup
port. Similar offenses on a smaller scale the
truly Independent News rushes to the front
to defend with all the zeal of a newborn
convert. New Yorks Tammany would give
half million dollars for such a thick-and-
thin defender of its infamies. The Indian
apolis News is the only paper that seems of
the disposition tc fill the bill.

At one time the Low organization which
has done all in it's power to antagonsze the
regular Republicans. had 10000 votes at
tached to it's pledges, but that was at
time when it was generally believed that
Mr.. Low would receive the Republican in
dorsenient. The indications are that with so
excellent a candidate as General Tracy
many of the 1O2, 900 will renounce Mr. Low
and vote for Tracy
There has been an impression that the
Republicans should have Endorsed Low, but
it seems that so long as they furnish four
fifths of the vote for an Independent ticket
they should be consulted in reference to a
candidate, and should not be asked to sup

The Hon. Tom Johnson, who was once
well known in this city, has created a sensa-
ton by attempting to make deal whereby
the Low and George people should support
the same legislative and county tickets, that
of the Low organization. Mr.. Lows mex
perienced manager was beguiled by Johnson
into agreeing to a deal; when Mr.. Low heard
of it he stopped 1t, but had hard work to
induce his executive committee to give up
deal which would have injured Low very
much and at the same time have cooled the
ardor of scores of George men who are now
candidates on local tickets. No one can un-
derstand what Tom Johnson means, but the

The News heard the chatter about the
mayors land many months ago, and made
an investigation at that time. 1t had little
