MR.. M1TcHELL's STATEMENT.
The Investigation Of thedNational In
dustrial Council. rs

S. P. Mitchell, president OF ths~ National
Industrial Council. said to u Stagi reporter
today regarding the Investigation of his
organization: 1S'tf z
Yesterday evening noticed in your col
umns a publication relative to nthe post
Office investigation, and on rWhatr basis the
investigation was made 1 know not where
your information came. but.I do know the
publication was in accord with the COM
plant made against the National Industrial
Council in print But the investigation has
been on entirely another charge. 4 do not
mean to question the veracity of the Post
Office Department, but I don't mean to let
the people believe that this council Is a
crowd of mean, imposturous scoundrels,
taking advantage of Mr.. Hanna or the peo-
pie who may commit themselves to our
pleadings. The newspapers have all along
been msinformed by our enemies We have
had but very little redress other than by
my acQuittal at Thomasville, Ga, Septem-
Der 4, in the very place where this Hanna
agent cry originated. The post office off,
Gals have preferred a complaint. against
the National Industrial Council, but they
have never let us know who gave them
their informa ton, still they have on file
papers direct from Townsville, Ga, where
/ was arrested for receiving money, claim
ing to be Senator Hanna's agent. The evil
dence was SO weak that Judge Culpepper
ordered my discharge. No one ever heard
me say 1 was Mr.. Hanna's agent. That
publication is entirely misleading, as much
so as that about the negro who claimed
that induced him by deception to give me
$50 to get his pension. The bottom fell out
Of that whole affair on my discharge and
the negro who melted the publicatio ran
off upon my return to investigate the mat
ter at Thomasville.
This entire prosecution is political and
partisan. The republican party is behind
this entire affair as see 1t. 1 have letters
and proof from white men high in authority
at Memphis, Tenn. that certain repub
lican official threatened this same thing
last year against ME when l paid tribute
to the confederate soldiers our best
friends While at Thomasville, Ga, letters
were shown saying I was democrat negro
and ought to be Jailed. I mean that the
public may know that this fraud order COM
plant has no foundation except as I have
mentioned

ALEXANDRIA. Va, September "a, 1903
Mr.. E. COntee Meredith of Prince William
county, who was one of the candidates for
the democratic nomination to the state SEN
ate, recently issued a statement TO the
out of the race by the failure of the demo-
cratic chairman to notify him of the amount
of his pro rata share of the election ex-
pense Mr.. Charles Bendheim, chairman
of the Alexandria committee, states that
there had been some uncertainty as to
the number of candidates in the field the
committee had been unable to adhere strict
ly to the ruling adopted making the 10th
day of September the last day on which
candidates could deposit their money, be-
the pro rata expense; but Mr.. Alexander
]. Wedderburn announced his withdrawal
the 18th. Mr.. Meredith, he claims. was at
once notified what his share would be. and
the time was extended to the 18th. When
the committee met on that date. he said,
the committee had not received the slight
est intirnation from Mr.. Meredith that he
intended to comply with the ruling, and
consequently Mr. Lewis H. Machen, as the
only candidate who had complied with the
requirements, declared the nominee of
the party.
Mr.. Bendheim thinks this explanation is
due Mr.. Machen, in view of the statement
of Mr. Meredith that he had been unfairly
dealt with
