REpeATIN. A EALsanonp.

In concluding an article in which
the Register is falsely accused of mis-
representative the Governor-in what
particular is not stated-the Intelli-
gencer makes the following malicious
reference to this paper:
A newspaper that will deliberately
change the wording of an Associated
writer of a letter to the war board of in
quiry, for partisan effect. will not hesitate
to resort to any means to prejudice the
public feeling against the Chief Execu-
tive of its own State when party point
is to be gained in behalf of an effort to
deprive the people of their choice of a
legislature.
Although fully acquainted with the
truth regarding the natural and ex-
cusable error made by many other
papers last Sunday week, by which
the names of r. B. and Gov. Roose-
welt were confused-an error our
malicious contemporary itself made
as late as last Friday in referring to
the matter, several days after the Reg
lister had corrected the same-the In
telligencer still persists in its DELHI
crate and malicious falsehood that the
Register changed said names for par
tisan effect '-though how this could
be it does not state, since Robert b.
Roosevelt is a near relative of the
Governor, is secretary of the committee
of the Society for the Protection of
Soldiers, and is a prominent and in
fluential citizen and as we'll qualified
to speak on the subject as the Cover
nor or any one.
An explanation how the natural err
ror occurred in handling the Roosevelt
letter will be found in another column
in a statement from the telegraph edi-
tor of the Register, who handled the
matter in question, which speaks for
itself 1t was very natural mistake
and one the Intelligencer itself made
in referring to the matter, as we have
said, even after the Register had. cor
rected it. Did the Intelligencer con-
as it says the Register did?
The fact is the hypocritical Intelli-
gencer did even worse than it falsely
accuses the Register of doing, for it
deliberately and for an apparent par
tisan purpose altogether Suppressed the
communication of Mr.. Roosevelt in it's
Associated Press dispatches, and is
now simply trying to cover its own
dirty partisan work by reiterating a
maliciously false charge against the
Register, a charge it knows is without
any foundation whatever.
A newspaper that will deliberately
SUPPRESS an Associated Press dis
patch to keep its readers in ignorance
of the truth for base partisan purposes
as our neighbor did this Roosevelt let
ter, which it has not yet published, will
not hesitate to resort to any dishonest
means to prejudice the public when a
party point is to be gained in behalf
of an effort to deprive the people Of
their choice of a legislature
Out of his own mouth is the partisan
hypocrite of Fourteenth street con-
victed.

Marietta, O.. December 6.-The

fling county newspapers and political
organs appears such lurid, backwoods
incendiarism as the following from the
Richie Gazette. one of the most prom
inent Republican organs:
1.-The Gazette warns the Republicans
that IF THEY RELY ON THE FORM
OF LAW II THIS MATTER, they will
lose the Legislature and United States
Senator at the same time. What is to be
done? SIMPLY OPPOSE FORCE WITH
FORCE
Here is direct advice from a Repub-
lican leader to his fellow party leaders
that in the next Legislature they
MUST NOT RELY ON THE FORM
OF LAW" else they will lose the
Legislature and United States Sena-
tor. Incendiarism could go no farther
than this 1t is direct advice from a
leader OF the Republican party that
to accomplish the nefarious schemes
of the Charleston gang the LAW MUST
BE OVERTHROW AND ITS FORM
ABANDONED!
The Anarchists, whom we so loudly
condemn, never were guilty of preach
ing a more lawless doctrine, for the
utterance quoted above is ANARCHY
pure and simple.
1t is a sample of the incendiary
utterances of the Republican party
press throughout the State, inspired
by the utterly reckless and irrespon-
sible managers at Charleston, who care
nothing for the State or it's people or
their welfare and reputation abroad
when their own dastardly and wholly
selfish ends are to be subserved.
1t is bad business the Intelligencer
is in when it lends itself to the pur-
poses of these INSCRIPTIONS politicians
and the furtheGnce of their lawless
and revolutionary sShemes.
The decent elelBent of the Republi-
can party is not behind this thing.

Many Senators oppose giving Ra-
wall the proposed territorial form OF
government lest the islands eventually
acquire statehood. These, however,
are likely to be voted down easily and
then we will have hanging over our
future the fear that one day partisan
administration may admit the islands
as a State, in which event the vote of
these distant, half savage possessions
out in the middle of the Pacific may be
in a position to influence the result of
a Presidential election. Such a rot
ten borough would be a menace to
popular government. Yet the people
of Hawaii are enlightened and refined
compared to those of the Philippines.

AT the close of the republican state
convention a resolution passed to the
effect that che next state convention
should meet at Des Mones if suitable
building is provided in which to hold
it. Last Monday evening meeting
was held by Des Moines business men
to consider the subject of building an
auditorium. There are many reasons
already that the state conventions
ought to be at Des Moines. If a good
building is erected there that will be an
otherimportant reason for going there.

Just think of it, your Uncle Jeems A.
Lyons Of Guthrie county, has been
nominated by the opposition for con-
gress in the Ninth district. How can
honest Uncle Jeems look IL democratic
audience in the face and say he loves
them? DONE our readers remember
how the gray haired old papsucker said
in this county, when he was republican
state auditor, that democrats were a
set of misguided heathens who would
disrupt or ruin any country, by their
ignorance or peryersity? That was
not long ago-scarcely four years. Now
he is trying to get those same demo
Gratis to send him to congress. All, the
old flirt! He is trying to fool them; he
doesn't think any more of them now
than he did then; but he wants to use
them, for voting purposes. 1t won't
work, Uncle Jeems. Democrats have
self-respect and they have good memo

Allison at State Convention.

After thanking the convention for
the honor of presiding over it Senator
Allison said:
"But little can be said and but
little will be said by me upon the topics
that arrest the attention of the Ameri-
can people. Two years ago this fall
we elected Hon. VIM. Mckinley as
president. have heard of no man in
this state who regrets that casting.
The affaiN of this country of ours
during these two years have been
managed by him and his cabinet with
a fidelity and with single purpose of
patriotic efforts III way to fully meet
the appreciation of the American peo-
pie.
"We have seen what | have never
seen before in long service in the
/ councils of my couatry, vote after vote
cast during the last session of congress
giving the unanimous support of the
representatives of the country to the
great and good man in his administra-
ton. We have trusted the president
and his advisers. We have trusted the
congress of the United States in this
emergency, and they have met every
requirement with a patriotism that
should receive the thanks of the
country.
"By protocol of the 18th of August
a war has been suspended ana the
results of that war in part achieved,
and we have selected through our
great president five commissioners
who are to deal with the remaining
questions of the war. AS these ques-
tions have been dealt with in the past
they will be dealt in the future, wise
and patriotic, and for the interest of
the 100000 neil and women of this
country.
1--WE of this state have played part
in this great controversy. We have
fortunately had at the head of our ad
ministratiOn a wise, prudent and
sagaciOus leader in Gov. Shaw, who
has met the requirements of our state
and our conditiolfwith highintelligence
and the fullest patriotism We have
met this day for Tie purpose of fling
ing the Republican banner to the
breeze in The election campaign that is
coming. Who doubts that the men
who are selected as our state standard
bearers, and who have been selected in
the various congressional districts,
will be triumphantly elected when we
come to the polls in November"

Washington, March 2.-The main in
terest of the day in connection with the
Maine inquiry centered in statement
by Secretary Long, following the cabi-
net meeting, that in his personal opin-
ion any official participation by the
Spanish government in the blowing up
of the Maine was now practically elimi-
mated from the situation. This state
ment was not of formal or official
character. and was made by Mr.. Long
as he walked away from the white
house. AS usual the various cabinet Of
ficers were besicged with inquiries as
to the questions before the meeting,
and in response to these opportunities
the secretary rather casually summed
up the situation in few words, stating
that most of the time had been given
to the outrages on colored postmasters
in the south. Naturally the Cuban
situation had been gone over, he said,
but there were no actual developments
and he felt that public excitement over
the subject had materially abated.
Then he added the statement, in the
same passing way, that any participa-
