that his prayer for a vindication vindica-tion would probably be wCed so he gave himself completely away by ordering his mud batteries train anon the commlttlaU except SnulUlff and Howe I He falsely accused the committee of ruling out everything they can that threatens to injure 11 McCunes qause I He libeled four members of the corn mltee just as he had libeled Mr Mc Cune from the beginnIng And then he said I is a foregone conclusion that the report Is to be a mnnycoated whitewash All this from P H Lannan who prayed for a vindicaton In public whie his paper was being tiepnded upon by Law and Pratt and Cannon and Colbor to maIm their plot succeed The committee called hIm and inquired in-quired concerning the crime and im morality he had been tlIlng so much I about Wimat was his answer

Is he pleased with the vindication vindica-tion l1e piously prayed for the other day Not much He is raving because be-cause his political conglomeration has been started rolling down the hil He indlrecU charEs the committee with dishonest and corruption These are his words The report Qf the investigation cam mltee of the legIslature has been known and discounted for a week The majority of
