SENATOR MARTIN AND
HIS ADVERSE WITNESS

In his speech here Friday night Mr..
Flood read the following letter:
Warsaw, Oct. %, 1892.
"My Dear Doctor. i enclose you my
check for 500, which you will kindly
use for your precinct, Kilmarnock and
White Stone. | know it is not enough,
but the demands upon me elsewhere
have been fearful. have sent liatha-
way small amount (25), which he
can use. He cannot do anything, |
imagine, with Oscar Morris, and | told
Oscar to look to you. have attended
to the C.. II. and Litwalton. want to
say in conclusion that | am using about
ali | can get, but that if you should
lack a few dollars with which good re-
suits could be obtained, | shall have to
trust to your good judgment to use IL
for me, that is advance it. OF course,
| cannot go very far. go to Essex
and Middlesex tomorrow and shall be
on the road until the 9TH. With best
wishes, | am,
(Signed) w. A. Jones'"
We would have thought that Mr..
Flood had been called as a witness in
behalf of Congressman Jones against
Senator Martin, when he read this let
ter, had he not followed with lot Of
illogical reasoning placing a different
construction on the letter than 1t con-
veys to the writer.
To the writer this letter to DR.. New
bill conveys the impression that Mr..
Jones was the giver, mot the receiver"
of campaign funds. He seems to have
been called on for the campaign "kail"
and donated his long greens to the doc
tor for that use.
In Mr.. Jones case the solicitors Of
campaign funds viewed him in the light
of those for whom at is more blessed
TO give than receive.
There has been nothing so far brought
out in the slightest derogating from
the credit due Mr.. Jones that he is the
real friend of the people and against
the bosses and corporation lobbyists, so !
shall vote for him for the position Of
United States Senator.

At present the railways mileage Of this
country IL nearly 10000 and according to
statistics compiled by Prof. William B.
Bailey Of Yale university for the Indepen-
dent, this mileage has an equipment of
more than 5000 locomotives, 40 900 passen-
ger cars and 100000 freight cars.
A better idea of the extent Of this
mileage and equipment may be gained when
we realize that the mileage is sufficient to
encircle the earth with a ten-track road,
and the freight cars would form five lines
stretching across this country while q per-
son travelling from New Haven. Conn, to
Washington, d. c.. could pass the entire
distance with q continuous line OF locomo-
tives on either side, and the passenger cars
would reach over e.0Oo miles. The rapidity
