!f IT LANCASTER DAILY INTELLIGENCER THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 27. U8;,. Vt t Lancaster I-ntrllfgrnrrr. THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT, !17, IUU3 The Standard ItiKsllgntleii. There is n lcjclliitive cemmlttcu Inves tigating something about tlie Stundiud oil company ; ve de net understand very clearly what the committee- is driving at, and the commlttce sionste fully slinre our Ignorance. In the. bi glnnlng of the jear Franklin It Gewen went te Ilnrrisbnrg and told the Leg's lature that Mr. I'. G. Patterson, wheli.ul lcen hired by the state te collect testi mony te show tlie Standard oil com iwny'a Indebtedness te tlie state, had net delivered te tlie state tlie testiinen) he had collected, but that tlie btaudatd oil company hud come Inte possession of it. Mr. Gewcn declared his ability te land Mr. Patterson, if net some ethor people, in the penitentiary, If the Lmi -latine desired them te bj put there Tl e Legislature showed no utj ardent de sire en the subject j but as something had te be dene about it, u cemmitUe was nppeluted te see about it. That commlttce has found occasional leisme of Jato te hear a few witnesses, but netablj does net disturb Itself te pump them. Tlie commlttce is undent vl te be v i rj amiably inclined te the S'andaul com pany audne conlldence whatever is felt iu its disposition te Hud out an Hung of tlie matter into which It is supposed te be inquiring. It has net jet had before it Mr. Gewen, who should hae been Invited by It te tal.e charge of the in(s tlgatien as thu prosecuting eilic-r. Ttieie isnoeno acting iu tint cap icily befoie th3 committee. Attorney General C.is sidy w.is presjnt jesterda, and asked tlie Inte attorney general, Mr. Palmer, whether he knew of iinjenc being paid $7,500 for suppressing testimony as charged by Mr. Gewen. Mr. C'.issnly declared his it tentien of asking this question of each witness heieaftei, te the end that he might proceed against anyone who would be se charged. Hut if this charge has heretofore been made b Mr. Gewen, Mr. C issldy li.is already the foundation en which he could base his suit. Perhaps lie may think that Mr. Gewen would net state under oath what he said te tlie legislature. It may w se, as Mr. Gewen doubtless did net hae personal knowledge of what he slated. Hut as he has an established reputation for knowing what he is talking about, Mr. Cassidy would have been ampl) jus tided iu taking his information, winch in fact lie might hae called for under oath at any time. As th committee, however, premised te call Mr. Gewen and Mr. Patterson befeie it at its net m?eting, it i3 possible that the tardy wheels of justice may jet Le started. Attorney General Palmei, under wIukc ministration thosuitef tlie state against the Standard miscarried, testifies tLat the cause of it was the supreme court and net Patterson The latter, he sav, he hired for a $'J0 (WO contingent fie te get him information about the amount of tlie Standard's pre tits, but he did net get it. He did net knew that the Standard had bought him off. In tact, be did net need Patterson, a the Stand ard people obligingly told turn all he wanted te knew about their profits, and he estimated that they ewtd $mio,uiie te the state, which lie would have gut if tlie supreme ceuit lml i t upset hs law. A nice little case bt.itcd liud bt u agreed upon with the Standard, in which the attorney gtneial or rather his depot), for Palmer is net Mipp sw te have been s i stupid or come' lung worse had cut down the miditei general's taxation of $.1,000,000 against the Standard te SiOU.ueu, upon no ethei evidence but tlie ceiniunj'n S'ateuient , and upon this c ise stated, se drawn as te give the best p issible clianee of a decision against tlie state, the Mipieme court, some of whose members uie be lhned te hae been favorably inclined that waj unjliew, found cause te leduc tlie demand of the state te a bagatelle Of ceuise Palmei d finds Ins oiliu eiliu oiliu t.ew, ui.d t.Ntuljatis I'attiuen because that is necessary te eiearhuustlf and his subordinates , but he cannot get awav from the fact that Ins case stated was agreed te, w itiieut ,nj siiihcient lnferma tien as te tlie facts admitted , and with out the enlightenment en them that Patterson was employed te get , ami that the $3,000,000 taxed by the proper elllcer of the state was 1 educed by Ina oilice without autlieiltj and without knowledge that it was wrong. Mr. Tllilen's Jnteiilluns. When an interview appeared 111 tin New Yeik 'Wi some months age, ac credited te ene of Mr. Tilden's friends, which seemed te indicate his desiie te be 11 presidential candidate.lt was as -seiibfd te Andrew II. Gieeu or Jehn Hlgelew. One or the etliei or these two men, who are veiy mar te him, was de clared en all hands te be tlie certain author of this interview , and the sus plcien was fieel) expressed that Mr. Tilden was playing a double ;.ut. He was accused of acting disingenuously in having a section of ids fi lends, like Hdlteis Dana and Wattcusen, deny his candidacy, while his close cenll dantes, like ltigelew and t.ieen, were te nuue his cause. Like the man who shot at a calf, mistaking it for 11 deer, and was jibed for missing it, it was said of Tllduu that he aimed at the presidency it he could fleetuu it, and If he couldn't attain the object of li.a ambition he was te lefttly disclaim any purpose of seeking it. Hm conduct in 1880 gave color te this idea. New comes Mr. Hlgelew te the fere and says, ence and fei all, timt Mr. Til den will net aeccept tlie presidency though overy man, woman and child in the country should sign u petition aiktug him te take it. Mr. Greer ebnles: that. Mr. Tilden Is a cau didate in any sense, and adds that the movement for "tlie old ticket,' is a pure Invention of Mr. Ilendrlcks, who wants te manipulate It in his own behnlf, and either secure his nomination for vice president en a ticket of which the head will be physically unable te take Hist place if elected te it, or te create a sentl sentl mentwhieh In tlie ovent of Tilden's peremptory dosllnatten, will make Mr. Hendricks the neminee for president.' Quite nnturnlly these of Mr. Tilden's friends who remember that Hendricks' defection defeated "old ticket" In le, view witli askance his warmed up affec tien fiv it. Tlieyfe.irth.it in his accession te the presidential chair there might arise one who would net knew Israel. The) are net for Mr. Hendileks Hut surely the attitud- of Mi. Higo Hige 1 w and Mr. Green ought te put an end te this discussion about Mr Tilden. Ills vi dies ought te be respected. The pros ldeiitt.il nomination ought net te be forced upon a man who knows his own physical condition se well as te declare he will net take It. The parly ought net te be distracted b) fruitless discussions of his name. He Is most honored by decent respect for bis own wishes and the proclaimed detetminatien of his most intimate friends Hint he shall tint be a candidate.
