In regard to raising campaign funds
the triple alliance party has always
prCfessed to be very conscientious. In
fact, the managers have frequently
denied ever having any filthy lucre for
campaign purposes, ave that which
came from voluntary contributions, as
a sort OF conscience gift" as it were.
1t has been charged many times, how
ever, that every employee In the differ.

PEELED regularly each month during the
campaign to hand over a large portion
OF his wages, no matter how small they
be, to the popocratic central com.
mittee, and the truth of this has been
verified beyond a doubt. John Nc
Crosson, OF Seward, has been employed
as a guard at the state penitentiary for
a number of years, serving under three
previous wardsns. At the close of
September, MIR. McCrosson signed the
payroll as usual, his monthly wages
being $50. When he called for his pay
the bookeeper rendered him a check
for $24.60, He refused Ia accept this
amount in full for the wages due him
and asked for the balance. The book.
keeper informed HIM that he had no au.
thority to pay the rest, it being held
back for the campaign fund. Mr.. Nc.
Crosson appealed his case to Warden
Leidigh, stating that he had a family
to provide for out Of his small wages
and he thought it very unjust to retain
portion Of his money in that way
without first ascertaining whether o,
not he was willing. The warden in
formed him that il he did not like thi.
style Of doing business, the way was
clear to quit. Mr. McCrosson left the
same evening, but not until he had de
manded and received the remainder o
his wages due him, 81 40, which War

tic figu res for a veriiication Of this
truth to the letter. They have smash
ed both of these leading commands IN

every statement Of reform e,onomy
sent out by the figure jugglers, on their
cards and circulars, is stamped with a
lie, and notable among these Is the
statement Of Treasurer Meserve which
says: III have reduced The state debt

During the month of December, Joe
BARLEY while he was yet treasurer,

call was made In December by BARLEY

for the purpose Of covering up their
