THE POT CALLS THE KETTLE BLACK.

A fcw days ago Mr. Richard Olncy,
who was at one time Attorney Gen.
eral, and later Secretary of State, In
the cabinet OF President Cleveland,
made public letter written by him
to Mr. Henry Loomis Nelson, in which
the former gave several reasons why
he should vote for Mr.. Bryan. This
letter was exceedingly temperate in
tone aud cogent In its reasoning: aud,
coming as II did, from man Of some
prominence, and who had been ex-
travagantly praised for his opposition
10 Mr.. Bryan In 1895, It would seem
TO be only fair for the Administration
newspapers 10 meet its statements
with arguments instead OF abuse.
They have, however, done nothing,
ana have attempted nothing OF the
kind. True 10 their instincts, they are
indulging in coarsely denying to MIR.

Was Run Over by a
Switching Train.
Supposed to Have Lived In
Hamilton.
Sum Of Money Found on the Dead
Mans Body.

Frank Andrews, a switchman in the
G. A. G. G.. yards in this city, was in
stantly killed at 8 o'clock Monday
night opposite the India Rubber Com.
pany's plant, near the Mill st. crossing.
His injuries were of such nature
that death was instantaneous. When
found, the unfortunate man was I'M
der a freight car and his head and
body were terribly mangled. The right
side of his head was crushed and his
skull was exposed to view. Beneath
his chin was another deep wound and
under his right arm was a bad cut
His entire body was q mass Of bruises
which indicated that the man had been
rolled along the track after being
struck by the car.
Andrews, with his fellow trainmen
were switching cars at the above point
when the accident occurred. The en-
gine was in charge Of Engineer George
Treen and Fireman Hughey. james
Dallas had charge OF the crew, which
besides Andrews, consisted of Brake
men Kinther and Carey.
According to the story told to Coron
or Leberman by the crew, Andrews
had been sent back to make a coup
ling. He was gone an unusual length
of time. Finally n search was institut
er and the man found rs above descrlb
ed Parks ambulance was called ant
the dead man was taken to the morgu'
where Coroner Z. o. Leperman review
ed the remains.
Andrews is about 80 years Of ag'
and came to Akron last April. FL
boarded with Henry r. Morgan, AZ
Il. Buchtel ave. The only sign Of iden
tincation upon the body was q lette
written in Hamilton, o.. July 8, ant

the pot calling the kettle black. We
have never considered IL a mortal sin
for a man to be corporation lawyer.
If we ever had intimated the thought,
what howl would have gone up that
we were anarchists and repudiatorsl
And we may be very sure that when
the Leader is driven to abusing men
for being Corporation lawyers Il is
sorely pressed for something to say.
What we wish to observe just now Is
that 1t would emasculate the Republi-
can party to read the corporation
lawyers" out Of It; In that case there
would not be left in its ranks enough
brains to organize one of the "blocks
of five," which is its favorite system
Of campaigning. Take out the cor.
poration lawyers and the Philadelphia
convention would have been bereft Of
spokesmen and managers; 1t would
have subtracted from that body every
man who opened his mouth there, ex.
cept the one who called 1t to order.
Eliminate the corporation lawyers,
and the Republicans could not muster
dozen votes in the Senate, nor de-
mand a roll call in the House; they
could not make a respectable showing
on the stump, and McKinley's cabinet
would go to pieces. Griggs could no
longer render opinions to the effect that
neither the trusts nor the canteens can
lawfully be disturbed, Neely's thievery
could not be kept quiet till after elec-
ton, nor could the bills incurred in
buying livery for Rathbone's footmen
and outriders be allowed and paid by
the Cubans whom we have set free.
We mention these little examples
not as exhausting the list. by any
means, but to illustrate the reckless
ness of the Administration papers in
dealing with their opponents. We do
not object to this thing at all; the
Leader, by like abuse, is making votes
for Mr. Bryan every day, and we have
no inclination to hinder 1t in so doing
For our own part we advise every
body to read Mr.. Olney's letter dis
passionately, and to judge 1t by Its
merits. L.It..
