en-, TUler.--It will be recollected by our
readers, that since the election Of Gov. Ty,er
~ the senate of the Y. States, it has been
dseouered that he wrote a letter 10 Mr.. Clay
IN 1925, approving of his conduct, IN the part
he took in the late presidential election. The
hue aud cry was raised by every opposition
print IN the state. Some appeared IN deep
mourning; others calling upon the gov. to re-
sign, and thereby save the character of the
state. To appease these gentlemen, and put
their meanings 10 rest, the gov. has admitted
that he did write letter 10 Mr.. Clay. After
noticing the conversation that took place Oh
the subject between Col Gooch and himself,
in the LOBBY Of the II. ct ID. and correcting
some m statements made from that CONVERSE
ton, he says:

myself with stating its substance, but if MIR.
