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.
