Two years ago John Lind made his
campaign on so-caIled state issues
He made all manner Of charges OF cor
ruption against the Republican admin
istrations of previous years. In his
addresses he plaintively appealed to
the people for "a chance to open the
books" He went before the voters as
a candidate OF no political party, but
as a public-spirited citizen with mis-
sion TO reform" things. How he has
reformed them IS shown in the fore
going. His charges of corruption were
shown by legislative and non-partisan
investigation to have been wholly false.
Men whom he had traduced during the
campaign retired from office with the
very highest testimonials from him;
their places were filled with persons
who would consent to prostitute their
offices into parts of the gigantic politi-
cal machine for self-aggrandfzement
that he has built upland the people
are paying for it.
