THE GLoBE-DEMOCRAT.
Warm Expression of Opinion by ex
Governor Stone.


Dallas, Texas. August 25.-Hon Thomas
B. Lane of Springfield, Mo-, representative
of the democratic National executive COM
mittee who is in Dallas said to The Post
correspondent:
The st. Louis Globe democrat has de-
voted considerable space and energy during
the past six months to attacks on the po-
litical integrity of Ex-Governor William j.
Stone of Missouri. 1t has charged that he
was treacherous to the interests of Bland
at the Chicago convention of SO, and that
he was engaged in conspiracy TO defeat
nomination in 1900, and to Dust Senator
Jones of Arkansas as chairman of the
democratic National committee and TO get
the POSITION himself
These attacks were borne in silence
until the 18th instant when, in speech
delivered at Bruceton, Mo-, in Bland old
District, the governor referred to what he
termed 'ghoulish attack of the St LOUIS
Globe Democrat upon the Missouri delega-
ton TO the Chicago convention, and par
tlcularly upon himself as the chairman of
the delegation, wherein the charge was
made anu reiterated day after day while
Mr. Bland was at the point of death and
after his death, that the delegation had
betrayed Bland at the convention in the
interest of Bryan, and afterwards humiI-
leted MIN by permitting him to be voted
tor for vice president.
Governor Stone said: This is lie
which has not even the merit OF being a
plausible lie. There We're thousand
Missouri democrats at that convention
among whom were Mr. Bland's kinsmen
and closest friends. and not one had baeu
round, or could be found, who would oIIes-
tion the loyalty of a single delegate from
t snls State 10 the fortunes of Mr.. Bland.
ar Bland had himself taken occasion by
letter 70 express his grateful appreciation
OF the faithful service rendered him by
Ihe delegation, and ex-Speaker Farris o,
lebanon, who was one of Mr. BANDS
most confidential friends. and who Went to
Cnlcago as his special personal repre-
sentative. has recently stated In an OMEN
