ments were made on the application

rectors Of the United States Steel cor

Waterbury Democrat., 1902-10-29

goes into spasms Of Indignation be-
cause Mr. Cary in his book, The Con-
Rscticut Constitution, was bold enough
to point to the fact. known to every in
tslligent citizen of the state, that un-
der the outrageous scheme Of repre-
ssntstion in the general assembly,
Connecticut has become notorious for
civic and political corruption. Mr. Cary
the thing or without due coRsidera-
tion. 1t was in no fippant strain
that he arraigned the corrupt condi-
tions which prevailed in the state he
loved as well as any citizen within its
borders. The object of the book was
to reform the constitution in such a
manner as to reduce to minimum the
corruption which had already brought
disgrace to the state. Not word in
it could bs tortured, even by the Lead
er, into partisan expression.
The Leader quotes tive parag graphs
from Mr. Cary's book which it holds up
fer special execration. These are the
paragraphs:
Among the republics Of the world,
among the states of the union, there
is none SO poor to do her reverence"
ct seems as if the pre-eminence
which Connecticut once attained only
serves to emphasize the depths to
which she has now fallen"
And then it goes on to say that
Connecticut needs no defence from
this villifoation,' etc.
There is an old proverb, which still
holds good, that people living in glass
houses should not throw stones.'' At
the very same time that Mr. Cary was
engaged in writing his admirable and
highly educational work the esteemed
but woefully inconsistent Leader was
daily engaged in saying harder things
of the republican candidate for gov.
ernor, whom it held up to the scorn of
Connecticut citizens as the personitica-
tien Of that corruption, than Mr. Cary's
absolute fairness would ever permit
him to write. Here are some ex-
tracts taken from articles printed in
the Leader during the summer of 1900:
"a lobby trust is public danger
and political trust is party destroy
Or. Public interests ans private safe
ty demand that both be destroyed 1t
is the duty Of the republican state
convention to dispose Of that job quick
and the way to do it Is to defeat Nc
Lean

and it ought not to receive encourage
ment or comfort from that source.
There is no reason why republican in~
terests should be endangered and
jeopardized simply to crafty two or
/ three individuals who have axes to
| grind"
ssThere would be no effort to nomin-
ate George p. Mclean for the gover-
norship if this was not presidential
| year and the democratic party disor-
! ganized. Is it wise and safe or good
| politics to endeavor to nominate a cam
didate, confessedly weak who cannot
| possibly secure the full strength OF
party support. who has been known
all over the state during recent years
as one Of the kings of the lobby?''
$50 lax have we boone in our duties
as freemen that the proposition has re-
Gently been made that one Of the two
great political parties in this state
shall nominate the king of the lobby
for the highest Office within the gift
of the people"
"Hon Q. r. Fyler, chairman Of the
republican state central committee.
says that George p. Mclean, the lobby
candidate, will have a waIkover for
republican ticket cannot have Mclean
upon it without the taint of the lebby-
They go together. They are one ana
inseparable. The people of Connec-
ticut do not want either and they will
have neither"
The foregoing quotations are taken
at random from the files of the Leader
Of that period Whole pages could be-
filled from it's files Of the same gen-
eral character, but the mixture I'M
them of condemnation of. the alleged
prevailing corruption, mixed with per-
sona1 abuse of gentleman whose sub
sequent administration Of the chief
executive Office has excited the admfr-
alton and won for him the respect of
all citizens is so interviewer that it is z
unnecessary to publish them. Sufii-
cient is quoted, however, to show THAI
the Leader two years ago, at the time
Mr. Cary's book was written and pub
liShed, knew that corruption prevailed
in securing state legislation.
Mr. Cary says and stands by the
same tnlHSS to-udy tuat ne salu ahu
stood for two years ago. The Leader
has not only gone back on everything
it said regarding corruption two years
ago, but turns its vulgar Walls Of abuse
on those who thought as the Leader
thought at that time, but who have
the manliness to stick BY their con~
victions.
