Clarke said in his speech here Thurs
day night, that Sturgis and Robinson
had offered him ten miles square of the
Usage land -640O00 acres-and $4,000
in cash to support the Usage treaty.
That story is little too fishy, Sidney,
to go down with the people. he prob
ably thought he could not pay the taxes
on the land and concluded not TO take
il. He might have put in a provision.
similar to that in several of the land
swindles he has supported in Congress,
that the land should not be taxable for
six or eight years.
