Tho Charge Of Corruption in the Pennsylvania
LenisLafnre

HARRISBURG, Feb. 26.--In the House this after
noon the report of the majority of the committee
appointed to investigate the charges of bribery In
relation to the Senatorial election made partial
report, after being called upon to do SO by reso-
luton of the House. They stated that twenty-five
witnesses had been examined, and that four or five
others could not be found, and that many remained
to be examined The testimony was imperfect and
unsatisfactory and in the present shape should not
be published. Thus far no testimony had been
elected calculated to fix on either candidate for
Senator before the joint convention any attempt
to obtain his nomination or election by corrupt or
improper influences. Mr.. Jordan, the chairman of
The committee, and Mr.. Brown, refused to sign
the report, because they place different estimate
on the evidence.
