sen 4TE TO INVESTIGATE.
UM Look Into ErecutiUe Session
Leaks BaiIey 4ngry,
TFroIn The Tribune Bureau

Washington March 6.-The Senate in executive
session to-day appointed special commission Of
five members to investigate leaks in secret ses-
sion proceedings The instigator Of this was Mr..
Bailey. who expressed great Indignation because
he and the Waters-Pierce oil Company were men
toned in the same paragraph in rfese dispatches
in this mornings Tribune and because loca!
paper asserted that In executive debate yes
terday Mr.. Bailey said William Loeb. jr- had
written him letter in which ne said he. Bailey
had told an untruth. What Mr.. Bailey did say
was that Mt Loeb was "a liar and he could prove
it."
II appears that Mr.. Bailey applied to Mr. Loeb
for invitations for young women from Iexas
for the Presidents Army and Navy reception ana
Mr. Loeb sent word that the lists were closed.
Later Mr. Culberson applied for invitations FOR the
same young and got them, from when MI
Bailey argued that Mr.. Loeb had prevaricated 10
him although II is well known that often after
the lists are closed an exception is made as
specIaI favor in certain cases. AS told in The
Tribune Mr. Bailey did give his reason in de-
bate for directing TO Mr.. Loebs confirmation
The committee appointed. which is composed Of
Senators Bailey chairman Gallinger, Carter. Over
man and Clark, IS empowered 10 send for person
and papers and administer oaths, and its expenses
are TO be paid the contingent fund OF the
Senate
The suggestion made in debate that a
method OF giving all proper Information re-
eardnR the secret session be devised, so that the
pubiic might be kept advised regarding the course
of treaties and nominations, but that the actual
debate be kept secret.

THE STATE AND COUNTY TICKETS.

We place at the head of our col
umns today the nominees Of the State
and of the Carroll County Democratic
Conventions.
Our county is again honored by
having Dr. J. w. Herring, of this city,
placed upon the State ticket for Comp
trolIer of the Treasury, by unani-
nous vote of the State convention.
1t is needless, at this time, to say
anything of Dir. Herring in addition
to that which is so admirably express
ed in the resolutions adopted unani-
mously by our county convention on
Monday last, and which appears in
the regular report of that convention.
AS is usual at such times and on
such occasions, there were disappoint-
ments in our county convention. Some
excellent gentlemen. and good Demo-
Gratis, whose names had been promi-
nently mentioned for positions upon
the ticket. and who would have made
excellent candidates, could not, in the
Judgment of the convention, be graft
fed at this time. This condition often
occurs in a county where nomina-
ton is usually followed by success at
the election, and where, in conse-
duence of this, there is a large num-
Der of aspirants.
While in Carroll county the Demo-
cratic majority is never very large,
it has for many years been steady
and could be depended upon. The
county has been under continuous
Democratic rule for more than forty
years, and the county government
has been SO good, we believe the peo-
pie will be slow to turn it over to the
Republican party.
All the candidates upon our ticket
are worthy of the support of every
Democrat in the county, and will,
receive. the full party strength.
We have before us an important ell
ection in the state, and Carroll county
doubtless, receive, as they deserve to
must be in line with her usual ma
jority, and endeavor,\ If possible, to
Increase it.
