Bargain for Justices.
How does he stand regarding the courts :
There, indeed. IL he is 70 be taken al his
own estimate he should be found infex-
i5le; an independent judiciary should be
MS dearest hope. AS to that Re has had
a great opportunity. for this is an excep-
tionai year Of judicial elect ons; ten new
Justices Of the Supreme Court are 20 be
elected in the city OF New York. How
has he used his new political power con-
cerning them? Why. he has made an
other bargain with Murphy. under which
Murphy has named six OF them and
Hearst has named four.

His own corporate manqgement shows
the insincerity Of his profess -fors. Not
only DOES he conduct his extensive new
paper business through corporations, but
he mas established separate c-rp-rations
Tor separate newspap pers and he has e.
taclished a holding corp1rati7n 10 hold the

Mr.. Hughes has plainly sNown that he
has juggled with these different ineor-
poIaJions TO escape hi- 5-st share Of pub

prosecution Of inst claims against him.
Inciting strife and Hatred.
1t IS seldom indeed that man 81 young.
whose public career has been so brief. so
small portion Of whose life is known
at all to the public. has furnished such
convincing proofs OF his Unntness for
Office.
But the worst Of AIr. Hearst is that
with his great wealth. with his great
newspapers. with his army OF paid agents
for his own selfish purposes. he has been
day by day and year by year sowing the
seeds Of dissension and strife and ha-
tired throughout our land; he would ar
ray labor against capital and capital
against labor; poverty against wealth
and wealth agirst poverty. with bitter nd
vlndictive feelings: he would destroy
amcns the great mass Of our people that
kindly and friendly spirit, that considera-
tion for the interests and rights Of others.
that brotherhood of citizenship which are
essential 10 the peaceful -nduct Of free
popular government; he would destroy
that respect FOR law, that love Of order,
that confidence In our free institutions
which are the basis at once Of true free
dom and true Justice.
The malignant fa!sehoods OF these Jour
nails, read by the immigrant in his new
home where none ear answer them. are
making him hate the people who have
Welcon-ed him 90 liberty and prosperity,
to abundant employment, to ample wages.
10 education for his children. to indepsnd-
ence for his manhood such as he has new
CT known before.
The Selfish RevoIutionist.
II Is not the calm and lawful redress
Of WRONGS which he seeks. it is the tur.
moi Of inf1amed passions and the terror
ism Of revengaful force; he spreads the
spin, he fouows TIE methods. and he Is
guided by the selfish motives Of the revo-
iutlonist, and be would plunge our peace
ful land into the turmoil and discord OF
perpetual conflict out of which the re-
puhlics Of South America are now hap
PLY passing.
Does any one question the justice OF
these statemeEts2 Then let him turn to
the pages Of the newspapers through the
ownership of which Mr.. Hearst Is press
ing his political fortunes.
What public servant h0nored by the
peoples trust has he not assailad with
vile and vulgar epithets; what branch Of
our free government has ne not taught
MS readers to believe a corrupt agency
OF oppression
