Foraker's Admission.
.'Of course, the Republican party has
been almost as thoroughly exposed A
Republican senator, MIR. Foraker, has
been shown to have been an agent of
the Standard Oil in the senate. 1 have
read letters which proved that he re-
ceived large sums of money from the
Standard Oil. He himself admits that
he received money from the Standard
Oil and borrowed money from the
Standard Oil. He claimed that his
services to the Standard Oil had moth
ing to do with the national legislation
Then 1 produced a letter from Mr..
Archbold in which Mr.. Foraker was;
asked to oppose a bill introduced py
Senator Jones of Arkansas Now III.
Foraker says that I have letters which
will prove the innocence OF his stan
dard Oh! connection.
81 assure him that l have looked
through my collection of letters very
carefully without being able 10 find any
letters Of that kind. 1 was fortunate
enough, however, to find two more let
tiers which mention large additional
sums of money sent to him by the
Standard Oil, while he was supposed 10
be representing the people in the United
States senate.

"'Hon. ]. B. Foraker, 1900 Sixteenth
street. Washington, D. C.
Il say that these additional letters
do not prove Mr.. Fo-aker's innocence,
but, on the contrary, they go to show
that the services he rendered the Stan
dard Oil must have been very effective
to warrant so many heavy payments in
so short a time.
Mr.. Roosevelt has repudiated his Re
publican Standard Oil senator. Nr.
Bryan has not repudiated his Demo-
cratic Standard Oil platform maker and
treasurer, nor has he repudiated MIR.
Haskells platform or Mr. Haskell s
campaign connection. Mr.. Bryan has
forced Mr.. Haskelrs resignation, but he
says he still believes in his innocence.
If Mr.. Bryan believes in Mr.. Haskell
innocence and still forced his resigna-
ton, he acted in a most diSloyal man-
ner. and if Mr.. Bryan does not believe
in Mr.. Haskell's innocence and still as
serts his innocence, he is acting in a
most discreditable manner.
Mr. Bryan says Mr.. Haskell ought
to have a hearing in court. l say that
he ought to have several hearings in
