Wilson, Harvey and Watterson.

Col George Harvey of New York and
New Jersey is represented as in an
amiable mood respecting the result at
Baltimore He thinks the convention
acted wisely. He will support the ticket
gladly. All the clouds that lowered DER
his house last winter now in the deep
bosom of the ocean lie buried. Sunshine
has followed storm.
Mr. Watterson, who shared with Col.
Harvey the limelight of a certain episode
the details of which need not be reprinted
is in a less amiable than resigned mood.
He, too. accepts the Baltimore result. and
will support the ticket. But he does not
think the convention acted wisely. His
choice for the nomination was Mr.. Clark
and he scores Mr.. Bryan in his most Wig
orous fashion for upsetting the Ozark
apple cart. His compliments to the Black
water orator are more scathing than those
of Mr.. Clark himself.
Shall we see Col. Harvey prominent
figure in administration circles If Mr.
Wilson is elected? Why not a prominen,
official? There is the Post Office Depart
ment, which he would find to his liking.

He has the means to afford high political

truth regarding the alleged criminal alli-
ance between the gamblers and the po-
lice force, cooperating earnestly and
hopefully with the district attorney to
discover the traces of crfminality on the
part of the men commissioned to enforce
the law. But II is virtually assured that
in this work he will be handicapped by
treachery and dishonesty on the part of
the very force that must to a large ex-
tent be employed to overtake the crimi-
nails and provide the evidence necessary
for conviction.
In this case of the killing of Rosenthal
the police are under the gravest suspicion.
1t is no exaggeration to say that at this
juncture the general belief is that the
gamblers death was permitted if it was
not actually decreed by the police officials
themselves. Certainly the fact that he
had openly accused one of them of main
tanning a corrupt alliance with him, and
that he was about to give further evil
dence, suggests that there was keener
interest on the part of the police organi-
zation than on the part of the gamblers
whose associate he was, and who could
hardly suffer materially from any dis
closure of the facts regarding their re-
police. The most that could have hap
pened to them would be a temporary
tightening of the restrictions and brief
suspension of their freedom of operation.
Whoever ordered Rosenthars death had an
motive. not merely to per-
NIT gambling to proceed, but to stop
revelations that might reach far and af-
feet important people. The whole country
hopes for the sake of public morality in
general, that from this crime will come
the truth and from truth will come re-
