"Frequently the question has come to me," said Mr. Harrington. " 'are you going to whitewash thee fellows? There is a lot of corruption here In Omaha. If you can only find It. "What we want Is fact. It anyone knows anything about corruption In the Omaha election they should come before us here and say It. If you want to accuse us do It now, or ever after hold your peace.'

Lack of sufficient cvUicr.ce to make a case waa the reason given ty James Eng lish, county attorney, for not having In stituted prosecutions for Illegal operations In connection with the elections. "I never had presented to me evidence sufficient to treat the charges seriously," said Knrllsh when he took the stand at the opening of the afternoon session yester day. "Whether there Is such evidence is another question." , Mr. English said he had no personal knowledge of Irregularity.

MR. PAYNTER ASKS QUESTIONS Kentuckian Told Where More Evi dence Conld Have Been Secured. COMMITTEES WORK CRITICIZED Its findings and Methods Aitlrird from Leant Standpoint and Both Are Declared I in proper. WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The entire sen ate today sat through a long speech by Senator Root and heard him declare that Senator William I.orlmer should be ex cluded from his seat on account of bribery In his election by the Illinois legislature, regardless of what methods of subtraction were resorted to with reference to the seven alleged tainted votes. Senator Bailey created a sensation by asserting that If Lorimer were shut out by any such logic then Mr. cr.llom. the ven erable Illinois senior senator, also should be excluded and he added Impressively: "And there Is no one here who would not acquit Mr. Cullom of having knowl edge of any wrong doing In connection with his election." The New York senator held the undivided attention of his colleagues. Mr. Root's position had been a question of much spec ulation and so high Is the esteem In which his opinion Is held, that It Is known some members of the senate have held In abey- Bnce their own opinions until they could hear from him. There was a large attendance of senators and the galleries were well filled. Mr. Root spoke without notes and In the main his address consisted of a careful analysis of the testimony taken by the committee. The argument waa almost en tirely legal. The speaker lost little time ln Indicating the conclusion he had reached, which was entirely antagonistic to Mr. Lorimer. Committee's Methods Wrong. He took the position that the Investigat ing commltee. toad been at fault ln permit ting either the attorney for Mr. Lorlrner or the attorney for the Chicago Tribune to direct lta course In the matter of connecting Mr. Lorimer with the corruption of mem bers of the Illinois legislature, but agreed that even In the face ot Its fault ln this respect, the committee had obtained suffi cient evidence effectually to taint and In validate the election. Citing the resolution under which the Inquiry was directed, Mr. Root said the committee had failed to find the tefUmnriy sufficient, v. Justify the contlumon ihat Mr. Lorlmer'a seat had been rendered In valid by the employment of corrupt meth ods or practices. , "It Is fair to infer." he said, "that the committee was of the opinion that corrupt methods and practices were resorted to. but that their legal effect was not such as to Invalidate Mr. Lorimer'a election. "This view Is sustained by the testimony before us, and I regret to say that after an examination of this testimony 1 am constrained to disagree with the members of the committee." Saying that he had been forced to this conclusion with deep regret both on ac count of his respect for the members of the committee and of regard for Mr. Lori mer. Senator Root said he had been im pelled to reach an adverse view In the In terest of the state of Illinois and of the country at large. "I cannot." he said earnestly, "come to any different conclusion." State aad Country Utsarraeed. lie rprwru mo uuw t. atate and country l ad been disgraced by the methods ot the Lorimer election. Not only did the senator differ as to the conclusions but as to the methods ot the senate committee. He did not believe that organisation properly Interpreted the scope I of Its instructions, but felt that It had gone too far ln interpreting the charges as a private complaint by the Chicago Tri bune. The committee should, he thought, have borne In mind that the reputation, the honor, the purity and authority of the sen ate were involved. "When," he asked earnestly, "did we en trust the guardianship of our honor and Integrity to any newspaper or any man? It was the duty of our committee to In vestigate whether corrupt methods and practices had been resorted to as directed by the senate, and not to decide whether the Tribune had established a case. "It was clearly shown," Mr. Root con tended, "that In following the leadership of the Tribune the committee had failed to take advantage of any opportunities to obtain testimony. Avenue after avenue hsd been voluntarily closed." One effect of the committee's course had been to create the feeling that this was persrcuiiuu i.torr ...... , p. u.n-ui .on. and the speaker htinseif confessed to shar- Ing the view that the work was not one ' fore the department. in which a newspaper might properly en- !
