The honest voters Of this city and
county will not neglect to rebuke the
county ring which has endeavored t.
defeat the expression of their will al
the polls by the infamous gerryman-
DER of the county which goes into eff,
feet for the first time at the coming
election, by the operation of which the
county ring hopes to retain power
against the will of the majority of the
voters.

WHITEWASH PROGRESS.

Why has the War Investigation
Board rushed off to the South when
1t had hardly begun its examination
of witnesses at Washington?
When the Board was taking testimony
at Washington why did it not examine
men who were Wig 9wa a,d to ha559 Sam Fam
inc Gen. Miles, who, as head of the
army, should have come first? Gen.
Miles has made open and very serious
charges against the War Department
and was right handy all the time to-
the "Whitewash Boards" quarters in
Washington. Why did it not examine
him? Why did it examine Gen. Lee
whose men were known to be in an Elk
ceptionally good condition owing to his
wise selection of camp and his own
care and vigilance? There was not
the slightest reason for investigating
Gen. Lee, who everybody knew had
nothing to tell, and for not investigat-
ing Gen. Miles who the whole country
knew had a great deal to tell.
Why did not the Commission exam
Inc into the matter of army contracts
while in Washington? There have
been fat clothing contracts, beef con-
tracts, powder contracts-fat contracts
of all kinds and descriptions, few of
HOY t1yr Tod
got the money for rotten beef? Who
furnished paper-soled shoes to the
troops at Camp Alger-presumably at
the highest market price? Who sold
to the United States government canned
goods that had to be thrown away or
burned while Skaters men were fight
ing the battle of Santiago with three
bareback apiece as their sole rations?
Why did the "Whtewash Board"
make no effort to get at this Informal
ton?
Why did it call only few witnesses
who had nothing to tell or brow-beat
witnesses, who had something to tell,
such as Major Seaman, into telling as
little as possible? And when it had
exhausted it's favorable witnesses why
did it rush off On useless junket?
After having finally resolved to visit
the camps why did it not go to those
known to have something to investi-
gate? Why did it break for Gen. Lees
camp at Jacksonville when it had Gen.
Lees own word for it, given on its
witness stand that there was nothing
wrong with that camp? Why twice in
vestigate this camp known in the first
place to be all right? Why, unless to
pass the time away before the coming
election?
Meanwhile plenty of important and
very damaging testimony has accumu-
lated at Washington, and would have
been offered had not the board deliber-
ately run away from it. That the COM
mittee did deliberately run away to
avoid taking this testimony is very
plain, for it was not originally in
tended, at least, this soon, to visit the
camps, the proof of which lies in the
fact that Gen. Lee was summoned to
Washington. If the commission had
intended to visit Gen. Lees camp
there would have been no reason for
summoning him to Washington. It is
as plain as can be that the visit to
the camps was an afterthought deter
mined upon for some reason other than
Fastening the investigation. After the
camps have all been fixed up on dress

There may be several political parties

However numerous the party organiza-

overshadowinI issue. Ga the subject of
the war all political parties are substan-

finders as to the manner OF its prosecu-

war. there is PREVAILING sentiment that
it must be prose ,uted to finish at what

the result. The United States s sure to

prices to be paid for public printing. Be-
