not for political reasons. bit to aid the
corporate influences that we're trying to
grab the government OF Chicago! We
leave It to the public to decide between
the press of Chicago and the News WASH
ington representative.
The National democratic committee did
not endorse Altscld. A littss sheet called
the Press Bulletin" is responsible for
the absurd story repeated In the News.
That bulletin had no more authority to
speak for the democratic committee than
the "Tammany Times" for the great Tam
many organization in New York-or than
the Galveston News has for the democracy
of Texas and the country.
Mayor Harrison received about the vote
this year that he received In 81. when he
represented the Chicago platform de-
mocracy," and when National issues were
discussed This year the race was purely
on local issues, and Altgcld's attempt to
inject National questions into the cam
paign. without other authorization than
his own sweet will, was simply abortive.
The premise OF the News man being
false. his conclusions are, OF course, fanci-
full.
But. as Tho Post suggested In the be-
ginning. this style OF correspondence Is
noteworthy as part OF the evidently pre-
concerted plan OF that element calling

been put into circulation regarding al
legged friction between the United States
and the Fatherland. / talked to prom
nent German American citizen about this
the other day and he expressed some opin-
ions that set me to thinking. He said
that 1t is the spirit manifested that is
most objected to by the German residents
OF the country. For example, when state
ment was published broadcast few weeks
ago that Germans had been supplying Ag-
utnaldo with arms and other munitions Of
war from Hong Kong one OF the leading
German daily papers published in New
YORK sent representative to Secretary
Hay with the request that he either con-
firm or deny the report. Secretary Hay
simply said that he did not have time
to deny any report that might be
printed; In other words. leaving It to be
inferred that the government did place
some credence in the story. An assertion
OF this serious character merited al least
frank denial by the government if 1t
were not true.
a few days later, when the German am
hassador called upon Secretary Hay and
asked for refutation CT the Hong Kong
story Mr.. Hay very promptly stated that
MS department had no evidence that it
pad any foundation and added that he did
not credit 1t for a moment.
But this sentiment was not distributed
very extensively and there are hundreds
OF people who have read Mr.. Hays r..
tusal to deny this alleged SANDER that
have not seen his later explanation to tho
German ambassador. Mr.. Hays course in

FANCY VERSUS FACT.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Galveston News is falling into the move
ment by certain anti-democratic forces
to create the impression that Organism
is being gradually killed and that the
leaders and tenets OF democracy In 1886
VIII be supplanted by new mon and Is
sues in 1900,
This preliminary work to the campaign
OF next year is going on industrously. and
The democrats may expect to read great
deal ef comment on that line in sucn pa
.irrs as the Galveston News between nos
snd the conventions of next year. The
News Washington man sees in the rc-

ran for the front door at the sans

to Single and Richardson that the
blejacket had taken refuge in an ad-
joining building. The two young men
followed the Argentine with the pur-
pose of taking him in charge for the
police. The bluejacket was now him
self very much excited. and when he
saw his pursuers showed them the
blade in a manner that they consider

taste, and out of all accord with the
rules of cutting steamer freight rates
or prices of assessable stocks. Single
