Horace Buncombe Speed! United States District Attorney Speed! Speed's fako strip grand jury. Speed is ready to be railroaded to that political bourne whence no trav eler returns. His name is mud with a capital M. His work is wind. His investigations are froth. In trying to hold the administration up to ridicule he has fallen witli a dull, sickening plunk. Ho endeavored to indict Democratic ofllciuls for alleged crime, but they "wouldn't iudict" Ho mojle Register Malone of the I'erry lnnd ofllcc a victim of his perse cution but Malone still lives aud is free of blemishes. With a grand flourish of trumpets Speed sailed in with the remark that "when I get through with this investi gation there will be nothing left of the Democratic party in Oklahoma." When Mr. Horace It. Speed started in on his so-called investigation tho day was in that transitory state when twilight lingers in the lap of day and darkness struggles for the ascendancy. The sun hung In a great red ball of livid llaino betwixt heaven and earth; there was a profound quiet which seemed to settle on all things animate and inanimate. The birds, the in- sects, tho very trees and sproutlag plants wcro for the moment hushed us if in expectancy of some unforeseen, some inexplicable something which seemed to pervade the very atmos phere. A bull frog gurgled softly as he fell back into the limpid water. Suddenly over the brow of a dis taut hill there appeercd a solitary man, seated astride a phantom political horse; ho cast one long, sweeping glance around htm aud then went back over the brow of tho hill again. IT WAS bTKKD. He had "investigated." Tiik Lkadkii has already given detailed accounts of Speed's fraudulent investigations; of the dropping of Ilandltn like a "hot cake;" of Jlurfards corruption; of tho NEPPIH.ICAX I'AJITY'h IIOTTKK.NKR.H in Oklahoma. A few days ago a churning account of Swlueford'u ex pose of Speed's game was given. The readers are familiar with the facts in tho case. No reader of this WIDELY IlKAI) I'AI'EIt for an instant doubts the truth of the charges made. Now to clinch the mat ter the ablest paper in the west, and at the same time the most conserva tive and reliable, tomes out 'with a complete expose of Speed's (ana his boosters) corrupt methods.

SUNDAY MORNING, the 'Times" shotv Speed and his co hot .a to be rouftru. roi.Tiwoss. On Friday tljj,,Tinios" printed the re sults of its investigations. It covers seventeen columns. The i:rusK or wi'Ki.n is searching and vigorous, and nlintiM be read by every fair minded jwrsnn who believes in doing right, though it takes the hide off. Tho Times begins its scathing phtl liplc as follows: One of thu most shnineleM and nnnrln- clpled games in tho whole history ofj de based politics I' now in program In the teriltoivof Oklahoma. Its object I to bring Into dlMvptite the present federal administration, anil by working uMin the passions mid prejudice of men. so IhkmI ulnktliein as to make Oklahoma urelv Republican when the territory shall meige Into a s(i-. All sense of deeeiiev, all regard for honor, has been hnislinl nslilr in the at tempt to accomplish this end. Tl.e ih chlnery of thu federal judiciary h.. teen wantonly and otitrncentislj iised in an Ineffectual elTort to Indict men of high position sololy for the political capital nun it would make, a grand jun, 1'acki:ii foii roi.incAi. i't riiishs and moulded by partisan hands, for weeks was kept investigating allcReil of fenses committed ndinitteilU he.wiml its jurisdiction.

And now, although each of these juries had liefnrc It and examined eci material witness necessary to a complete KXI'ORR OF XY FllWlts ill connect loii with (lie opening and huuicsteudlug of the t'lieiokee snip, still another grand Jury has heefi called 10 meet December II for precisely the same purpose as the others--iind that is noth ing morn nor less than to coin political capital at thu expense of the pi usi it nlmii of high ofllce l) deliberate. Improper. Il legal and Indecent attempt, in this in stance, to smirch the character of a sin gle man. This Is the disgraceful political game that has been in progress In Oklahoma ever since the opening of the Cherokee strip for the purpose ot blinding and (le ech lug the people.

Unscrupulous newspaper men and poli ticians Jn SVaslrJugton, tsliyvior aHirnevt and biokeu down hack in Oklahoma were called upon to nilse the cry of dis honesty and fraud in laud ollice altairs, and they responded lgiiroiHj in the hope of political lew aril.

These wete the tlnee visible lesults as matters were shaped bj the dis trict attornc) in charge. Decent men in klahoma who under stood the matter weie: shocked at the uu scrupulousiies of tills political work. It Is perhaps uuparallcllcd In its boldness, as it Is unprincipled In its methods. The Times asserts this after a most cat eful In vestigation of all the facts, and below It shows concltlslvel) these tilings: That the ciiAitni'.K of riiAt'ii against the laud ollice ollicials are v holly without foundation. That the grand Jury which was kept at (ilithrle for two weeks investigating tho land ollice ollicials was nothing mote uur less than a political machine. That It was manipulated by I'nlted States Attorney hpeed, unlawfully and disgracefully. '1 hat It had no jurisdiction In I count) wheie the land ollice is located; and yet, knowing this, Mr. Speed summoned hun dreds of witnesses ami put Logan county to gieat expense solely for the political capital that was expected u, result. That there was e Idence siilllciciil to Indict a single clerk in the laud ollice at I'erry a man who had been employed for his experience In land ollice matters and who was discharged immcdiitely the facts came to know ledge of Register Malone. That tills man was a Kepiibllcan. That the I'nited Stales attorney re fused to present the indictment against him In the face of renuests of Jurymen when he had leai lied the politics of the man. That the I'lilted States attoinei then admitted that the jury had no jurisdic tion convicting himself of grossly outrag ing the law In conducting such an illegal Investigation. That he declared himself after UO(i:I!oavik" aud applied to the laud ollice officials. In the presence of the Jury, the toulest of epilliets That another grand jury vas called ul Knld to Investigate alleged frauds at the land ollice tlieie, and w Idle no suspicion had attached to those ollicials, a rcHirt was rushed through the jury that wan unfair, an in part untrue, and Intended to Indirectly relied upon them. That In furtherauceof the conspiracy to Influence the new settlers of the Cherokee strip against the Democratic admiuUlia tlon, tho Waslilngtoucoriespouileiitnf the Kansas City Journal was Informed and sent to his paper prejudiced, lying unit wholly unwarranted report. That there w as not an Iota of evidence before the jury to Imphcatu. Register Ma lone in any fraud. That every witness desired In connec tion with frauds at the I'erry laud olllee was before this grand jury and the fullest Investigation wan had; yet. In spite or till', and as a further move in the shame ful game, i'nlted States Attorney Speed has summoned another grand Jury to meet at I'erry, December 11, to aivtwtg gate tho same charges. This will be another political machine. It Is too plain to admit of argument. It Is currently reported that 'Mr. Speed has sworn lo ' l.VDICT ItEOISTEF. MAI.0XK before thH body.
