HEARST'S THIMBLERIO POLITICS. The exposure of Yellow Editor Hearst's , peoullar political methods by Oban. & Hagbee, his Republican opponent, for gubernational honors, has astounded even those who be lieved themselves familiar with the political chameleon to whose ambi tion to sit In high places, right, truth and deoenoy ' have been ruthlessly prostituted. In the light of reoent exposure Hearst, the "frenzied friend of the people, "the peerless exponent of "Im maculate polltios" and the founder of tbe "Independence Lesgne, "stands revealed as a common tax dodging political charlatan, beside whom even Boss Murphy and his Tammany ooad jutors appear to advantage ; they at least bavlog made no pretense of po l.lioal honesty.
