JESSE HoYr's STATEMENT.
CARD.-The attention of the undsrsi gned has
been called TO AN affidavit Of James b. Glentworth,
published in the Courier Enquirer OF this morn
ing in hich it is stated among other things, that
Mr. Batter would give thousand dollars, ard
MIR. Hoyt the same, towards paying certain de-
mand against entworth, on condition that he
would make statements, that should imPlicate Gov.
Seward and the leading friends Of the Governor in
New-York, ON a charge of having countenanced
frauds at tie election in New-Yo city, in the year
1893"
From the opinions of Mr. Glentworths integrity,
heard expressed yesterday by his Wing partizans,
cannot suppose il necessary to make aay denial Of
this statement, to exonerate me in their minds Of
such improper act, bat for the satisfaction OF
others, il may be deemed exped ent to say that the
paragraph above quoted 10 wholly untrue-and il is
also wholly untrue, that any Involvement by way of
reward or hope Of reward, either expressed or i'm
piled held out to Mr. Glentworth to any other
person. any conversation, at which was present.
or at any other time as know or believe, but on
the contrary, every such idea was repudiated.
The meeting referred to by MIR. Glentworth, at
nov house, was not by appointment, but wholly ac-
cidentai. never had any conversation with him
the subject to at any other time or place.
and in The conversation referred to- stated to this
person in the presence Of others, that was igno-
ran, Of any details, connected with the affair, and
that wished that names or circumstances should
be mentioned in my presence for the reason, that
desired to know nothing Of the matter, until it
made public and il not made public, also desired
to remain in ignorance. 200 ll rcitl..gg,t 81.

So you sreItherc, old tfuepenny You deny the
truth Of Glsntwortb's statement, which is kind
enough to give evidence in favor OF yours By his
significant sHtncs. This is nngeB.rous. We can
not go this " card" We believe you both-and we
further believe that DO Glentworth and Stevenson
have not told half the rosucriss NJ the respective
