SPOONER REPLIES.


reply to the charges made in the
Mcclure Magazine through
Steffens, the correspondent, in
reference to the statement attrl-
buted to Isaac Stephenson that
the first election of Senator
Spooner cost lot Of money. In
the letter Mr.. Spooner absolute
ly denies the charge and says IN
his part:
The article does not touch the
real merits of the controversy
which has b1 token the Republican
party in Wisconsin into bitter
factions. On the whole it seems
to be partisan brief for Gov.
LaFollette. It's inspiration is un-
mistakable, and it's purpose evil
dent. It discloses a vindictlve-
ness which does not respect even
the grave. and is altogether
characteristic of the System "
now in vogue in Wisconsin. 1t
is not put fourth to affect any
candidacy of mine for office. 1t
attempts to slur abroad the good
name of the commonwealth, but
is mainly intended for present
effect in a state campaign, for
which purpose it is being distri-
buted by thousands gratis
throughout the state.
At this moment I can deal only
with its reference to my election
to the senate in 1885. Of this
Mr.. Stefens says:
'Thus Senator Sawyer became
boss, and, since he was lum ber-
man, it was no more than fair
that the other seat should go to
to the railroads. So the big bust
ness men got together and they
bought the junior United States
senatorship for the Hon. John G.
Spooner.
Who the "big business men"
were is not disclosed, save for
the subsequent reference to
Senator Sawyer and Isaac Steph-
enson of Marinette.
eff the charge were that l
bought a seat in the Senate. or
anticipated in the purchase ola
seat in the Senate, or conscious
ly accepted a purchased seat in
the Senate, I could deal with it in
a few lines, I should char acter-
lie it as foul a falsehood as ever
was written or uttered since the
world began. But it does not s 0
charge.
''The statement, above quoted
if true, would bring to me very
painful disillusionment. When I
was sent to the Senate in 1885 I
went distressed with doubts as
to the adequacy of my equipment
for that great position, but | had
NO doubt of the purity of my
title. During the years since
then, whatever may have been
said from time to time upon the
title of others to seats in the
Senate, [ have cherished with
pride the conviction that my own
was without any faint. or posi-
bility of impeachment.
Again, l had come to Wisconsin
in my boyhood, had graduated
from her university, had begun

advocacy of the principles of the
republican party, and had for
over twenty years participated
