THE GUILTY CONSCIENCE.

The question of that lumber baron
conference at the West hotel, in which
Congressman Tawney participated, Is be-
coming very interesting in the First dis
trict. The charge is a grave one, and
is, that within 60 days after his election
terests of the people who elected him,
and entered into conspiracy with the
lumber barons to place an oppressive tax
on the purchasers of lumber.
so was the Dingley law framed, as re-
spects lumber, and Congressman Taw-
ney was the man foremost from start to
finish in fighting the battle of the lumber
trust VS.. the people.
Now Congressman Tawney is making
speeches in the First district, and he is
taking frequent occasion to deny that he
was present at the West hotel confer
ence. He was present. His remarks be-
fore that meeting are on record In the

Witty to the selfish interests that are
now robbing the people of the First dis
trict-of $3.50, 600 annually.
In the face Of such proof, which is
plain and conclusive to every man who
is not deaf, dumb, blind and half-witted,
why does Congressman Tawney deny
that he was there?
1t is because he knows he did wrong,
because he can make no defense what
ever of such a fragrant offense against
the people he was elected to serve He
must feel guilty. indeed. WHEN lis guilty
conscience overpowers him and leads him
to utter deliberate falsehood before the
people whose votes he is now seeking.
Congressman Tawney was there, and
says he was not. He has pleaded guilty
to the Indictment against him.

HyPocRITICAL REPUBLICANS.

Judging by the great howl certain Re-
publican newspapers are making over
the allegation that Democratic office
holders are asked to pay assessments to
the party organization for the purpose
of carrying on the political campign,
some people might be led to
believe that they are rot doing
the very thing with which they
charge the Democrats. AS a matter Of
fact Republican offieehorders. state, city
and county have been regularly assessed
for campaign purposes for a score of
years past. and Republicans have looked
upon 1t as a perfectly legitimate method
of raising funds to maintain the party or

they have excused 1t on these grounds:

That the candidates and oficeholders so
benefited by the work of the party or

expected to contribute to the support of
the party organization. and that they
cannot expect to receive its aid unless
they help TO maintain 1t. That, In fact,
they cannot get something for nothing.
For Republican newspapers to pretend
to be shocked at the allegation they have
made against the Democratic organiza-

Vice Chairman Payne is neither proph-
ct or the son Of prophet. But whether
or no, it is a pleasing circumstance that
weight has been removed from Mr..
Payne's mind. and that it may now
soar even into the regions Of the infinite
in it's future mathematical operations
regarding presidential majorities.
In the language f,athe street, 1t is
now up to Chairman Jones to produce
majorities which will make his adversary
turn pale when he reads them. We
believe he will rise entirely to the occa-
sion. He has shown that as mathe-
NAUTICAL magician he is able to take care
of himself. The country waits to hear
from him. If he should delay for any
length OF time the consequences might
be much more serious than he contem-
plates. The weak sisters among the
electors are waiting anxiously to find
out from the respective chairmen just
how they should cast their votes so as
to be on the winning side. Besides,
the betting has to be influenced; and the
delightful rivalry as prophets and arith-
meticians which these gentlemen have
maintained can not be permitted in the
slightest degree to wane without posi-
BILE financial ruin being wrought.

PROPHETS AND MATHEarAT1oIaNs

PROPHETS AND MATHEMATICIAN.
One of the most delightful of the am
entities of an exciting political campaign
is that which enables the party manager
to offer to the faithful the tenderest
assurances of success. It is not done bv
any mere broad expression of enthusiast
tic prediction. 1t invariably takes the
form of statistical literature. Already
We have had and are having daily the
most convincing assurances from each
side. Chairman Hanna and his first as
slstant, Henry Q. Payne, and the re-
sourceful Perry Heath, are perhaps a
trifle more emphatic than are their
brethren in the same positions on the
other side; but there is no lack of as
surances on the part of Chairman Jones
and his assistants, by any means Far
from It, The trife Of votes which that
gentleman consented to allow to the OBJ
posing candidates In his last estimate
was hardly worthy of calculation. Wis
consin and Ohio, and Illinois and Indi-
ana, it has been demonstrated success
siyely by both sides viii be carried over
whelmingly, while New York is an alb
solute certainty as factor alike secur-
ing Democratic and Republican success.
The latest assurance offered in the
form of a prophecy relates to Indiana.
1t Is the positive conviction of vice
Chairman Payne that Indiana viii cast
one of its old-tine majorities for the
Republican national ticket. In fact the
najorities will be larger than they were
in 1896 Polls have been taken in every
precinct of the state, anG they have been
verified later. which show conclusively
that Indiana will give its electoral vote
IN very decisive manner to the i'm

It Is OF course matter that should not
be ignored that there are no figures
In regard to Indiana given by Chairman
Payne, who Is, according to his own
statements, IN position to tell accu-
rately the vote which will be cast at
