A DENIAL BY MR.. coRBTY
One OF our reporters visited Mr. Corbin yesterday al
his residence He suffering from pneumonia, and II
was only by the greatest effort that he able to con-
verse at all upon the subject that was uppermost In bis
mind. Near him his physician. 4" know the object
OF your visit" he said slowly and with effort cannot
cd efate mt L wi say
that neuer IN nv Ie conferred Nth James FISK
The rsubjeei Of finance, hare erer, either verbally
or in prihno. requested through him or bv one
in his interest the pttrehdH or sale Of one
dollar of gold or stock. AZ the time phen one
of his men alleges IN me aDtdGriI that pas at he Erie
building, in Neu-Jersey Nor OF my own knowledge
do know that President any Of the Cabinet officers
ever conversed or communicated with any OF the socaed
Gold Clique On the contrary, believe that It is sheer
aud wicked fabrication Jrorn beginning TO end Fsks
carriage has been before door 10 NY knord0e,
and s cords put into print BY the reporter Of The Sun are
also base and piekod falsehoodG" Mr. Corbn was too
much exhausted to continue further IN conversation and
by the advice Of his physician and the entreate OF his
wife he again lay down. His condition last evening was
extremely critical During the day many friends called
to express their ndgnaton at the charges made against
him, but It was impossible for him 10 see them.
THE PRESIDENT AND HIS AccUsERs
The vague charges made In certain newspapers against

We have had incompetent Presdentsand that fact has
greatly impaired the faith OF the rest Of the world in the
permanent success OF the American Republc-bnt We
have had one dishonest that he would tampcr
