ENUMERATION OF
SENATOR BAILEY.
New Orleans States.

So far as the Texas legislature is
concerned it has cleared Senator
Bailey of all charges, but its action
was powerless to mend his badly dam
aged reputation. On the other hand,
while the senator and his friends
are apparently satisfied with the
exoneration the popular mind re-
CARDS it as a conviction for it
must not be supposed that the
country did not follow closely the
proceedings of the alleged investigat-
ing committee which bore the most
fragrant evidence of having been pack
ed for the purpose of avoiding rather
than getting at the truth. The com
ments of the leading newspapers of
the country, that cannot be charged
with any bias in the case, show quite
clearly that the verdict of the country
is, Senator Bailey has received a win
which fails sadly to vindicate.
The fact that the senator's adherents.
who were a majority in both houses
Of the legislature, voted TO exonerate
him without waiting for the report of
the investigating committee and the
evidence adduced in the case, was an
extraordinary procedure that left a
bad taste in the public mouth Indeed,
in many quarters it is regarded as tan
tamount to confession of Mr.. Bailey's
guilt by those seeking to exonerate
him. For example, that extremely
and non-paTtisan journal.
the Philadelphia Ledger, in reviewing
the case, says:
The investigation was rendered In
effective, partly because the counsel
and partisans of Bailey insited upon
q pretty strict adherence to the legal
rules of evidence in the introduction OF
and partly because Bailey
in person buldozed the witnesses. with
the full support OF the committee,
which was packed with Bailey adher-
snts.
Whether or not there was any cor
ruptien involved in the money trans
actions in which Bailey appeared as a.
borrower from the agents and attor-
aeys of the Oil Trust, which was at
tempting TO circumvent the Texas
avs, it must be apparent that it. is

a gross violation of all propriety for a
trusted servant and representative OF
a great commonwealth to be so close
ly and secretly concerned with pro-
moters and trusts that are under the
ban of his own states laws. and to be
under deep obligations to them as a
borrower of large sums of money"
The Ledger thinks it would be in
conceivable that Democratic Senators
lof the type Of Lamar. Hampton, Bay.
ard and Vance, now dead, and others
living and honored, could have been
placed in position where they would
have borrowed large sums of money
from the secret agents and lobbyists
of the Standard OH Company. A few
newspapers which are VIGOROUSLY the
organs of high finance have undertake
en- to supplement the action of the
Texas legislature by giving Mr. Bailey
a certificate of character, but the con-
census of opinion is that the country
which has doubted him for a long
time is now convinced that he belongs
to the side of .sthe interests" and is
part of the system" represented in
the senate by Aldrich, Allison, Elkins
and others, for whatever may be de-
MED or concealed the unquestioned
fact is that at the time Texas was en-
gagged in desperate struggle with the
Standard Oil Trust, Senator Bailey
was borrowing large sums of money
from the representatives of that
monopoly; that in one case he was the
intermediary for the transmission of
Standard Oil money, and that general
ly his intimacy with the interests
which his own state was fighting was
suspiciously close.
The fact is, the whole point of the |
inquiry in his case lay in the question |
of his relationship to the enemies of |
his state, and on that point the evil
dence was too strong to be demolished, /
and the only answer that Bailey could
make was that those who had chal
lenged his acts were liars and the
documents were forged. But in spite
of the alleged exoneration he has re-
ceived. Senator Bailey already sees
the end of his influence and power in {
national politics. He may remain In
the senate, but 1t issinconceivable that
he will again. be democratic leader
there. nor when there is talk of nomi-
mating some good southern man" for

as fit man for the nomination. The

when it declares that He
belongs in the ether crowd. He viii

him by his actions and his friends.
