Washington sentinel., 1901-02-16

and as promptly was answered. II
any doubt existed in any mans
mind previous to this occasion, II
is safe to say it is now dlspelled.
Mr.. Sulzer made his connection
with the affair as plain as anV one
could have wished, and much
palmer than he himself would have
preferred, for he is not man to
boast of deeds Of kindness done.
1t was necessary for him at this
time to be explicit and comprenen-
sive, and he was both. AT the con-
clusion OF Mr.. Suffers statement
even Mr.. Mahon admitted that he
did not believe the charges.
Mr.. Sulzer has traced the circu
lation OF these st 1ries to the door
OF Perry S Heath, secretary ofthe
Republican National Comm,t,ce,
the man who is responsible
Tor Nicely appointment IN The
Cuban service and who must beSr
the odium attaching to his mis-
deeds. He had read letter show
ing up some Of Neelv's alleged
misdeeds before his appointment,
with all OF which Heath is charged
with being aware Of and in spite OF
which he urged him upon the
people OF Cuba. TO the disgrace Of
this country, his party and the
Government.
The letter is as follows:
Hon. WILLIAM SULzER.
Dear Sir: Pardon me, a stranger, il /
make few suggestions and give you a
pointer that will stab one PerryS Heath

You will remember that when the news
OF c. F. w Neely's embezzlemeDt first
came out that Heath promptly came out
in an interview and denied having any
thing TO do with securing Neely's ap-
pointment. and said that Neely was the
Presidents own selection, and that he
(Heathl had nothiog to do with it, and
did not recommend Nicely at all. Well,
Bri>tow's report shows that Nicely was
appointed on Heath own personal
recommendation, and contains Heath's
letter, in which he said that Neely was
a man that Rathbone could and would
warm up to.
Ask Heath why his New York bank
went Neely's bond Ask Heath 10

mortgage Nicely put on the farm when
he bought the NswS Ask him if he
didn't know that Nicely had gone to
Kansas City and there defrauded hun
dreds OF fsrmers out oi their produce by
starting an alleged commission house,
and after he had sold the stuff, decamped
with the proceeds. Ask him if he did
not Know that NeelY had been implI-
Gated in a gold brick scheme7
Ask him why he didn't prevent the
wholesale steslings in Cuba, II he cared
to protect the peoples money! Ask him
why such loose methods were permitted
in Cuba. Ask him whJ he tried 10
blacken McKinley's record by having the
people believe that Nicely was the
Presidents personal selection Ask
Heath how he came to get franchise
Tor the North American Investment
Company for Cuba. aud why said COM
