Senator, Who Was Hon

Efforts Of His Persistent Po-

soeeiai Dispatch to the Inteiligeneer.
WASHINGTON. D. c.. Jan. THAT
brief Of senator scott's case, which a
partisan newspaper declared had been
thrown about unfortunately with no
one to father It, has evidently been
read to the anEsh by those for whose
Information It was written-the sena-
tors Of the United states-and the re-
suit shows 1t is much more effective
than its critics would have It appear.
ex-senator Faulkner prepared the pa
per for the information OF those who
would be called upon to pass upon the
so.called contest. In every instance
where the matter has been discussed
upon the merits as presented in the
brief, the title OF Senator Scott has
been declared to be beyond question,
and this by such able men as Senators
Hoar and Spooner. ana others.
The claim made by Senator scott's
political enemies would not be Endorsed
by a single vote were 1t not for politics.
The only recognition the contestants
will get win be in the payment of the
costs OF setting up the farce. The at
torneys-doubtIess It was the attorneys
attended to that early in the game, by
securing the adoption OF resolution
authorizing the expense account to be
audited. 1t is the custom of Congress
to pay the loser the costs incurred in
each contest. but as Mr.. Mceraw did
not claim his own election. it is pre-
sumed he did not appear in the role of
contestant For this reason. possibly.
It became necessary to pass upon the
matter in this conspicuous way.
But after all. senators laugh at the
showing made in the attack upon Mr..
scott's credentials. BE win continue to
serve the state in the senate to the end
Of the term Of six years, for which he
was elected. II interfered with by moth
Ing more formidable than Mr.. Nc
Graw's attempt to preserve n repub-
lIcan form of government in West vir-
ginia."
