The New York Tribune, which is the
accuser Of Senator Hale, fails to see in
his brassy defense any justification for his

one view Of Hale conduct among unpre.

From the Tribuues Washin gton Special.
Senator Hale, in his remarks today, Of
which an extended report has been sent
by the agent OF the associated press, ad-
mitled the essential facts contained in our
telegram published in yesterdays 7ribnne.
The question remaining for the Judiciary
Committee to investigate is whether in the
affair il question. he acted and was paid
in the capacity Of lar,er, or in that Of
Senator. Those who engaged his SER
vices can doubtless throw light on the sub.
ject. The public can form some Judge
ment from the facts now in its possession.
From the Trihunc's Leading Editorial.
Mr.. Hale, it appears, having been sue.
cessful in procuring the liberation Of ono
person on charge Of malfeasance in office,
was applied to in another case, ,chich
seems to hare had a good deal Of money
in it. The offer of retainer Of - 900
seems to have raised doubts in the Sena.

Why was $4,000 Of.
fered to Mr.. Hale for his services ia this
case? Is he in the habit Of receiving =
retainer Of 50 900 when he is retained 40
a lawyer? 1t seems not. from his own
account Why was he offered $4,000 in
this case? Was it not because it was
presumed or hoped that his position as .
Senator, his political distinction and inAu.
erce, would enable him to achieve results
which an equally good lawyer, lacking
these advantages, would vain'y attemp,7
We do not know that such was the fact,
and yet the case looks as though it were.
