horror of last June, to the number of
more than 30O,. have held a meeting

families of 600 dead. The report was
denounced as unjust and unfair to the
stricken families, and resolutions were
adopted declaring that the whole re-
sponsibility rests with the board of
directors and officers of the steamboat
company. A copy of the resolutions
will be sent to President Roosevelt.
Local steamboat engineers are much
wrought up over the report Of the gov

deal fairly with every good republican in

When I can be made to believe that the
democratic party of this state will in
dorse our United States senator's, instead
OF lying IN the background to take ad-
vantage Of party differences on our side:
when am satisfied that the head of our
ticket is disposed to do else than redeem
any pledge which he has given to the
republican party; when it shall be made
to appear that those who have so gen
erously or persistently assisted in bringing
our party to it's present high standing in
this state, are to be ignored when all OF
these things shall have happened, you

for Senator Moses E. Clapp. AS be-

In such juncture it can hardly be
denied that Mr.. Dunn made the very

own material benefit. In carrying out
the program, which was most Carefully

tempt was made to deny the fact that
my influence with Mr.. Dunn might be
considered inimical to the interests of
the corporations, and{$ therefore against
Mr.. Clapp. The deal was put up in cold
Senator Clapp. The deal was put up
in cold blood and carried out in the
most high handed: manner.
l have known for months that I
might expect something of this kind.
The agents of the corporations and tile
managers of Senator aClapp have repeat
edly threatened me with political ami
hilation. [ persistently refused to enter
into any deal which in my opinion
would jeopardize the. interests Of the
people. | have given Mr.. Dunn not only
the support Of my newspaper, but my
personal support and my friends have
stood Loyalty by him. :. Large numbers
Of my friends supported him at my re-
quest and sometimes under protest. and
whatever regret I may feel at the de-
velopments Of yesterday, it is chiefly
because Of the position in which my
friends are placed thru me. Under
standing fully the most awkward pre-:
dicament in which Mr.. Dunn found him

is in my power to assist the success of
the republican ticket this fall notwith
