SOME INSIDE HISTORY.

/ The Democrat intimates that be-
cause the editor OF the TINES was
postmaster under Mr.. Cleveland
+ that he is not a silver man. Our
course has been such that it hasn't
been nece ssary for US to be continu-
ally affirming our position. The
TINES was so strong for Mr.. Bryan,
during the campaign, that clippings
from its columns were filed in Wash
ipgton aud made the basis Of
charges of offensive partisanship
against Postmaster Allen jus. after
the election. These charges were
signed "a sound money democrat"
and were supplemented by charges
of Encouragement of the postoffice
signed by N. A Wade, editor and
proprietor Of the Bates Comfy Dem
ocrat.' The handwriting in both
cases were identical The name of
an employee Of the Democrat, whols
relative Of 1Ir. Wade, was thought
fully fle1 with the department to
become our successor. These
charges were referred back to US
through the proper official channels
and were Investigated by an iuspec
tor sent here for that purpose, with
the result that the conduct Of the
postoffice was reported first class
and that we had been free from an
offensive display of partisanship in
our official capacity as postmaster.
The charge that we were abusive of
Mr.. Cleveland personally, while
holding commission under him. was
Thus was blasted the hopes of |
Mr.. Wade to have Us supplanted |
and become the beneficiary, because
we were too strong for the silver
cause.

The Democrat says the reason we
voted for the silver delegation to
the Pertle Springs convention was
because Judge DsArmond appoint

have been a good reason, if We had
had no other. Mr.. Wade didn't
consider his obligations very binding
