Bribery Exposed Senator Pomeroy
Of Kansas Fallen.


The whitening Disgrace of q COM
plete exposure Of the bribery used in
eleoting United States Senator in
the Legislature of Kansas, falls upon
the public mind like an added mis-
fortune, beaped upon the shameful
revelations from other parts of the
country. But this time, thank for.
tune, the corruption was exposed just
10 time TO prevent the knave from
being elected for another six years ;
and though we are shocked st the
facts revealed, We rejoice at the
signs Of publication and reform.
The way in which it came out was
tragical, and of astounding sudden
ness. The Legislature at Topeka
assembled in joint convention, Jan.
20. Pomeroy felt sure of his cleo
sion, for secret reasons, which in
one case were grouDdless. Senator
York rose TO a question Of privilege,
and related the facts of his bargain
win rOmerOy at mldnlgnt OF the
Monday previous, Of which the fol-
lowing is brief summary:
Pomeroy had sought TO secure his
vote through other parties, but York
desiring TO entrap and expose him
insisted on u personal secret inter-
view saying if his constituents ever
found il out they would hang him
He finally effected a pretended sale
OF his vote aud influence for S8000
taking 1000 in money, and q verbal
promise for the rest This money
he produced in convention, placed il
in the hands Of tho Secretary. Of the
Senate AS evidence, and invited mem
bers 10 examine it. And be held NJ
bis hand and made oath IN the most
solemn manner TO the exact truth OF
the charge.
An intense excitement followed
"Hang Pomeroy I" was tho cry, and
Err a time great disorder ruled
When order at last returned q ballot
was taken, in which pomeroy got
not one vote John j. Ingalls, was
elected by ll3 votes against Is scat.
tering. That evening Pomerc y
branded tho affair on wicked con-
spiracy, bat was speedily arrested
on the charge Of bribery. The next
dag be- was very III, and bis physi-
clans denied all access % his room
He is prostrated by blow that may
prove fatal. His trial will have TO
DO postponed Senator York was at
first arrested for bribery, but was at
once discharged.
IL il rumored that the fallen Sen
Rtor will az once aend IN bis resig,

After the exposure, money begsr
