CONSPIRACY AGAINST WooolN.
Private Secretary Said to Have Been

Private Secretary Said to Have Been
Bribed BY Democratic Managers.
bloomsbury, Oct. 30. The mana-
gers of the campaign that is being
waged against W. II. Woodin, are
growing desperate. For the past
three weeks, ii is said, secret negotia-
tions have been carried on between
a prominent Democrat of Columbia
county and the private secretary of
Mr.. Woodin for the purchase from
the latter Of Mr.. Woodin's private
correspondence in the hope that some
tell-tale letter would he discovered.
Mr.. Woodin suspected his secretary
and had him shadowed.
On Tuesday the plot was exposed
when the private secretary, about to
leave Berwick, was confronted with
the charge and compelled by de-
tective to open his trunk and surren-
der a package of private letters that
he had abstracted from the files of
Woodin's Office and was about to
carry away with him to deliver to
the Democratic chairman. Although
the writing he had in his possession
were intirely harmless and would
not have in the least have comprO-
missed Mr.. Woodin before the public.
This attempt to get possession OF
them goes to show to what straits
Mr.. Woodin's opponents in this dis
trict have been driven.

FUSION POLITICS

Democrats Applying New Tactics Re-
publicans Whose Only Grievances Are
That They Have Been Rejected for Nom
ination. Merrick One of Them.
The fusionist in politics is the
bright CLINT of burlesbue and comedy
i'm Il serious drama that otherwise
would often grow dreary and tire
some. But the fusionist iS never
monotOnous and never stale. He is
always breaking into the play in u
new role on the very eve of an elec-
tion, and, even though it is all trag-
zeal enough the funny burlesque is
to their audiences an unfailing source
of amusement. But on the violent
contrary with the fusiOnist who are
sore because the party will not bow
unto them, they try to sink the Ves-
sci with all on board, and they are
a. sincere as they are grotesuue,
which Is what makes them humor-
Gus.
No intelligent person can object to
Il fair criticism OF a candidate or of
an administration nor Il portrayal of
the virtues of one candidate over an
mother, but the introduction of will
ful misrepresentation, belittling in
ucd0es and .jin9oism into Il campaign
is degcncrating and uncalled for and
when Mr.. Merrick on Monday night
in the court house stopped to mis-
representations and wantonly false
assertions itS effect amounted TO
nothing. As lawyer Mr.. Mcrricll
made M eXtravagant uprOar alleging
severe crime and quoting law and
telling his handful of listeners that
il was a civic duty of his to do so
ina-much that newspapers We're not
thoroughly informing the public of
these awful crime, charged against
Office holders at Harrisburg. We
have courts and .juries in this country
to try issues of this character, and
newspapers and fusion politicians
who seek to air their charges for
political purposes only are not q part
of our judicial system. If the cvi-
dence he has is genuine and so strong
why don't he bring suit at once.
DISAPPOINTED OFFICE SEEKER
Who is this Geo. w. Merrick of
Tioga county, who is making SER
les of speeches in this county in the
interest of the Democratic candidates?
Why, when Merrick's political rec
ord is understood his motives become
clear to everybody.
In 1882 he was candidate ut the
Republican State Convention for
Secretary Of Internal Affairs. He
failed to get the nomination, how
ever, and filed with revenge joined
in Il movement to defeat the regular
Republican nominee. An indepen-
dent ticket was put up and Merrick
was placed upon it as Il candidate
for Secretary of Internal Affairs.
That ticket bro2ght about the defeat
of General Beaver for Governor and
the whole Republican State ticket.
Every since that time Merrick, while
calling himself Republican has
deem Il traitor TO his party and is
known in his native county only as
a political renegade who, disappoint-
ed as a office seeker, now vents his
spleen by turning against his party.
The records show that he got u
votes in this county in 1882. Can he
fool that many people in 1898:

Cora, until two years ago last March, was as

She was attending school and was studying

INHERITANCE TAX is BAD LAW.

Council Bluffs, Ia. Feb. l4-Judge
Thornell. of the district court, Satur-

lateral inheritances TO be unconstitu-
tional The law was passed al the last
session of the Legislature, becoming eff
fective oct. ] last. IL provides for a 5
per cent. tax on all bequests other than
TO direct heirs.
The law was attacked on the ground
that IL was in contravention of the
fourteenth amendment to the constitu-

propery without due process of law.
Judge Thornell rendered verbal opin-
ion declaring the law unconstitutional
on the ground taken by the plaintiff, as
