AN HISTORIC PARALLEL.

j I was nominated for Governor j April 2, 1908; resigned from the , ways and means committee in June, 1908; the tariff hearings by that committee began in July, 1908. I was in the campaign in Indiana from July 1 until election day, November 6, 1908; the special sesj sion began in March. 1909, and only the very elect can thus see what my alieged conduct in 1909 had to do with my defeat in 1908 — but that is one of the charges made b>-Mr., Fish. —The Hon. Jim Watson. in reply to the Hon. Ham Fish. That looks like a sockdologer of an answer, and no mistake. But there is awfully good Republican precedent for just trie sort of reasoning that the Hon. Jim charges the Hon. Ham withal. FYom Republican stumps innumerable. from Republican papers countless, from Republican statesmen of highest repute numberless, it has been dinned into the ears of the American people that the panic of 1893 was the direct and natural consequence of trie Wilson-Gorman tariff legislation, which was not enacted until many months afterward ! —lndianapolis News.
