Boston, Mass, Nov. 22.-Mr. Law
son issued tonight a signed statement
which, however, beyond the inference
contained in the opening sentence,
throws little light upon the origin
or nature of the suit or suits brought
against him.
In. conclusion Mr.. Lawson refers
to pressure being brought at Wash
ington in an effort to exclude from
the mails his writings on finance. He
expresses the opinion that such a pro-
ceeding would not be permitted by the
postal authorities. The statement in
part follows
In regard to the suits and rumors

II have been telling a few raw
truths, and in this age of dollars no
man will be allowed to distribute truths
about financial rascality without pay
ing the price. My truths are big ones
and l suppose the price will be equally
big, but the American people may rest
easy that whatever the price I'll pay
it and not ask any sympathy for doing
SO, and they can rest easy about an
other fact: I'll make those who have
been plundering the people during the
past ten years pay price to which
mine will appear like a tight shoe

solid delegation back of him for the

There is considerable uncertainty
as to the complexion of the delegation
to the state convention on the gnber-
material question. While it s'reason-
ably certain thst Mr. Teter will have
several votes from this county, il is
also rumored that the majority Of the
delegates favor some candidate other
than either Teter or Dawson, believ-
ing that to be the wisest course.
Again it is claimed that Teter will
have majority Of the votes from
