Columbus. O.. Sept. 17.-Thomas i.
Hisgen, candidate for president. and
at Memorial hall tonight under the aus
pieces of the local organization of the
party.
Mr. Hearst read letters which he said
had been written by John d. Archbold
of the Standard Oil company TO Sen
ator j. B. Foraker of Ohio, referring to
legislation pending in congress, and
mentioning two Enclosures of checks.
one for $4,000 and another for 1880.
Mr.. Hearst said:
I'VE claim that the Republican party
has been for a long time the benefici-
airy of trust corruption. and that the
Democratic party has only waited an
opportunity TO share its sisters profit
able infamy.
I'VE claim that the Democrats are
today eagerly competing with the Re
publicans for trust favors.
A Wild Assertion.
I'VE claim that when Theodore Roose-
welt whipped the Standard Oil out of
the Republican party, the Democratic
party welcomed that convicted criminal
with open arms. We claim that the
Democratic party killed for Mr.. Rock
efeIler the fatted calf. and that there is
more rejoicing over this one sinner who
/ has Joined the Democratic cause than
| there is over the hundreds OF thousands
| of honest. faithful citizens who const.-
| tute the Democratic masses | am not
either here with empty assertions, but
with legal evidence and documentary
proof.
Il am now going to read copies of let
| tiers written by John d. Archbold, chief
agent of the Standard Oil, and personal
representative of Mr.. Rockefeller and
Mr.. Rogers. These letters have been
given me by a gentleman who had init
mate associations with this giant of
corruption. the Standard Oil. but whose
name i may not divulge, lest he be sub
/ jected TO the persecution of this mo-
nopoly.
Archboid to Foraker.
"'26 Broadway. New York. March 8
1900.-My Dear Senator: l have your
| favor of last night with enclosure
which letter. with letter from Mr.. FL
| lott commenting on same, ! beg to send
you herewith. Perhaps if would be bet
| ter to make a demonstration against
the whole bill. but certainly the ninth
clause, to which Mr.. Elliott refers
should be stricken out. and the same is
true of house bill No. 500. also intro
duced by Mr.. Price. in relation to for
eign corporations in which the same
] Objectionable clause occurs.
"I am glad to hear that you think
that the situation is fairly we'll in
