MI. IIawley seems to have had something
more practical and to the point than anything
mentioned above by the World. Possibly tho
Wcrld knows what it was. Ms 1t appears TO
hay9 corner on information in that quarter
4
There are rumors floating around alleging
that seine sensational testimony, which was
putposey withheld until aftes The election.
VIII shortly be given before tho war invesu-
gazing commission, and that II Ia likely TO be
followed by the disgrace of some officers. IL
Is the easiest thing In the world to start a
sensational rumor in Washington, and as Il
rule they attract little attention, but this one
has been reiterated so persistently since cleo
ton that II appears to be finding belieNcrs.-
Washington Post.
The evidence obtained Tuesday would
seem TO ut least lend color to the rumor.

The shortage In the congressional vote In
this city alone Will amount to at least 1000
votes. It was the official ballot aud the OK
san Antonio Light.
Before the election you fellows were blow
inB" about your success in getting Noonan's
name on tho ticket whore you wanted it, aud
where II would operate against the demo-
cratic candidate. II was trick which some
republicans were lndiscreet enough to boast
about. Now that you are beaten you set up the
same old squawk; repeat the same old lie
when you say:
1t begins to dawn on tho public mind that
had there been perfect fairness, and an hon
est election, Judge Noonan would nave car
riod the district by handsome plurality.
On this subject the Galveston Tribune very
pertlnently remarks:
Judge Noonan claims he lost 5000 votes by
the attorney generals ruling. Well, IL he
did ht deserved TO lose them. The trick was
intended TO deceive and II the bitter was bit
80 much tho better for clean politics. In this
district both parties were guilty of II.
1t Is matter susceptible of easy proof that
n conspiracy was hatchod between the repub
can managers in San Antonio and certain
falthless democratic bosses In several counties
in the district to prevent MIR. Slaydeu's name
going on the regular democratic ticket at all.
Tho plot failed, aud now the proposed bene
ficnry OF this treacherous business is whiu
ing like an old woman and threatening to
contest tho election. with the idea, no doubt
