I'ADDOCK ON T.lf: KI.ECTION BILL. Ha Thinks it I'nwls. tn Wast. Time on it Just Now. Washington, Pec. '.'ti. The Post this morning says: Senator Paddock of Nebraska Ne-braska was in earnest when he warned tho senate a few days ago that he would move to lay aside tho Flection bill and take up the Pure Food bill, and he will before long take occasion to renew the warning, lie will give his party, however, how-ever, ample opportunity to either pass the election bill or conclude to lay it aside. In this connection it may be interesting to state that 1'ad-dock 1'ad-dock has been misquoted from tho beginning be-ginning in regard to his position on this bill. A dispatch, originally sent from here, describes an interview alleged al-leged to have taken place between the president and tho senator, in which the former is said to have upbraided the latter for not supporting the bill. "The interview thus picturesquely related not only never occurred," said Paddock, "but the president never mentioned either the elections bill nor the tariff bill to me.' 'T have never said that I would not vote for the elections bill," continued the senator, "although I have bt e 1 quoted as saying so. The truth is. that there is nothing in the provisions of the bill objectionable to me. My position is in regard to consideration of the bill at the present time as unwise. I thin it would be better to discuss and pass a financial measure. The elections hill is purely political, in which only a slight portion of the republicans of the country coun-try are interested, while financial legislation legis-lation vitally concerns all businessmen, and is badly needed.
