Guilt is Confessed.

The insistence OF, several Demo-
cratic newspapers Tor an inyestiga-
ton OF the bribery charges at
Charleston is calling forth some
rather sarcastic and pointed re-
marks from Republican newspa-
pers. The Phtlippi Republican, for
example, says It sounds bad to have
a Democratic newspaper. charge that
members of its own party sold their
votes, especially so when the same
newspaper last fall advocated the
election OF the senators and dele
gates whom it now accuses of corr
ruptton.
Indeed, it is about as bad as 1t
possibly could be to have the Demo-
cratic press charging criminal of
lenses against Democratic legisla-
tor. If there were some possible
excuse upon which to base a refu-
tation OF these ugly accusations the
Democratic newspapers would have
taken advantage OF 1t long before
this time; but there. appears to be
not even an excuse.
AS it is. the Democrats have prac-
tically declared themselves to the
world as being guilty IL the charges
that have been made against them.
They have made no denials, offered
no defense nor taken any steps
whatever to let the people know
whether the charges are false or
true. 1t is silence that means
confession. Even though an inves-
tigation should be taken up now, it
would be only further confession
Of guilt, as 1t is now too late in the
session for the making of a proper
and thorough investigation.
Governor Glasscock ought to call
the Legislature in special session for
the purpose OF investigating the
charges that have brought disgrace
upon the state. The circumstances
would justify special session even
IR it were called for the sole .pur-
pose OF Sitting these serious charges
to the bottom. If any legislator has
debauched his Office and shamed the
people of the state by selling his
vote to the highest bidder he ought
to be punished for it % the full ex-
tent of the law.

cornwell called On.

The West Union Record takes
John J.. cornwell to task for his
evaslveness and imputes to him an
insincerity in what he says in his
Hampshire Review, Mr.. Cornwell's
action at Charleston is quite dis
pleasing to large number OF DEM
ocrats, but 1t should not have been
disappointing, as the fact became
well known, when Cornwell ran for
governor, that he was the repre-
sentative OF the special interests. In
that campaign he opposed the move
ment to reform the tax laws in the
interest OF the people. The Repub-
liean press indicted him as railroad
and other corporation representa-
tive. With but one or two excep-
lions, the corporations were a unit
for. him and the vote showed it,
especially in Marion county domi-
mated by the Watson interests. Why

No Atonennent.

Correctly chasing Democratic leg
islators who became subservient to
the Batson4chilton combine, the
West Union Record undertakes to
console itself with the Inconsistency
.sef those solons, but at the same
time it plainly leaves the inference
that 1t derives but little peace or
comfort in the thought that there is
an atonement intended or even at
TEMPTED. The Record says:
Democrats who in the legislature
voted for Watson for United
States senator present most ridicu-
lous spectacle in passing resolu-
tIon in favor of the election of
United States senators by a direct
vote Of the people, They do this at
ter electing a man to that Office
who could not without money and
corporation influence muster cor
porals guard in any county in the
state in popular election. Their
/ action goes to show that they have
already repudiated their own action
and are trying to atone for it. That
there was no popular sentiment for
Watson is now more apparent than
ever, since the people and the press
have so bitterly denounced his cleo
lion by the legislature. So out
spoken have the people been. there
is not single member of the legis-
lature who voted for him who will
feel easy over the matter when he
returns HON ohis constituents.

straw ballots taken at various places
throughout the city are showing a
very marked increase in the Pope
