There is no doubt that Mr.. clark OF

friends Of Marcus Daily viii care to keep

But there is record which Mr. Clark
may ina some diniculty IN explaining to
the satisfaction o. those Senators who
felt great sympathy Tor him whcn,a seat
10 the Senate was practically denied him

sympathy was wasted. Tho charge OF

chances are that they had their prices fix

bribing OF legislators is OF course to be-
condemned 30 tho strongest terms. but it
IS probable that the Senate would deal

tive in corrupting them. The chances Of
