It la too lata to recommend thla ad

who by his acquiescence In and feeble

too eagerly to tho employment of V

The stolen Archbold letters are by

In House Documents No. IM, Fifty
ninth Congress, first session, there Is
a letter dated June 5, 1197, from Mr.
'A. B. Hepburn of the National City
Ifonk of New York (Rockefeller)
Mr. laymen J. dags, then Boo rotary of
ths Treasury and later president of
the United Btatea Trust Company
/Rockefeller), In which Mr. Hepburn,
after asking fieeretary dago to make
Oevernment deposits In his bank, said.
*t>f course the bank Is very strong,
and if yoq win take paint to look at
our list of directors, you will see that
we alee have greet political claims In
view of what was cone In th» cams
palgn last yeah" A telegram signed
by John D. Rockefeller, JY„ dated
February f. 1991, was sent to six
United States Senator* as follows:
*We are opposed to any anti-trust
legislation. Our counsel will see you.
It must be stopped.- On the same
day Mr. John Ik Archbold «f the
Standard on Company sent a long
telegram to Senator Quay, beginning!
•We are unalterably opposed to alt
•e-called anri-tnmt btfea." These two
telegram* were published In the
newspapers at the time and caused
much comment

far as they affect Bryan bear their
own refutation on their face.
If Nebraska, a Republican State,

• Extract from speech ef Hen. John J.
Fitzgerald, of New York, a member of
the nouno committee on appropriations,
delivered In the house of representatives
on May 30. 1903: .
"The expenditures during the four fis
cal years ending In 1869 Immediately
after the Civil war. were $1,773,178,393.00
less than during 1«63 to 1866. a reduction
of alfout 50 per cent.” # (
"After the Civil war the cost of con
ducting the government for th# rout
—— that followed was 50 per cent le«i
during the four veara of the war.
cost of maintaining the government for
the four following year* was 10 per cent
greater during the same period than
when the war waa waged." * *
"Under President Roosevelt the expen

during the four years of the Civil war. #
"Under Cleveland, the per capita ap
propriations for the army for four years
were $1.35: for the navy. $1.54; for forti

for the four years for such service. $3.90.

w# are mistaken and you failed to re

Mr. Bryan's record before they are

Very respectfully,
H. S. EDWARDS.
For the Republican Campaign Com
mittee.
Macon. Ga., Nov. 1, 1908.
The Telegraph has mighty little re
spect, and no admiration, for the Re
publican party, as such, but there are
Individual members of that party for
whom we have great admiration- and
respect, and one of them is Mr. H. 8.
Edwards. We would knowingly do
him no Injustice or Injury; nor could
we, or have we, charged him one cent
for .any expression of his Individual
views on public questions. If he says
no republican money has come into
this state for campaign purposes wo
accept his statement so far as his
knoWiedge goes. It is possible, how
ever that he does not know what is
going on all along the line. A good
deal could be doing without his knowl
edge.
Mr. Edwards' communication reach
ed The Telegraph office last night,
after the editor had retired for the
day. We hav® therefore little time
to hunt up documentary evidence, but
wo are prepared to produce proof that
a check for a large number of copies
of The Telegraph, containing Watson’s
Atlanta speech was given by a promi
nent republican, officially connected
with the party organisation in this
state. These papers were mailed from
this office to a republican in a neigh
boring city for, distribution. This »s
sufficient to establish the truth of ouf
assertion, but this Is not all.
Mr. Edwards Is entirely mistaken
about the tender of a $50.00 check.
This business, the editor afterwards
learned, was tendered to the business
department of The Telegraph by an
advertising agency In AtlanU, which
offered about one-fourth the regular
rate for this class of advertising. The
advertising agency was informed by
return mall of the rate always charged
for such matter, but ap to this time
The Telegraph has not heard from
them.
But alnce Mr. Edwards tendered us
$50.00 for this it will be found on an
other page of today’s Telegraph.
