abominable conspiracy, of mer
who had openly aYowed their pur
pose to stick at nothing for his de
feat-who had stopped at nothing
to compass it, not even fraud
faisehood, and personal infamy,
and whom he reasonably Supposed
to be capable Of any crime for the
eonsummation of their wicked and
villaiuous plans of malice and am
| bition.
Mr.. Page is banker of relative
wealth for the country where he
lives-the personal friend of York
and he clearly and distinctly states
| that he requested York to obtain
for him the money from Mr.. Pom
eroy.
An attempt, and 4 very feeble
one, has been made to shake the
testimony of Mr.. Page. To this
end, Mr.. Cobb. one of the mem
bers of Congress elect, who busted
themselves at Topeka in opposing
the election of Mr.. Pomeroy, is
brought here to say that M. Page,
on that Wednesday at Topeka, had
said that he believed the state
ments of Mr.. York. Mr.. Cobb
was too deep in that election to
remember all that might casually
be said in his hearing by MFR. Page
or anybody else. Mr.. Page has
explained what he did say in those
moments of confusion and COM
motion; that, friend as he was of
York, be was reluctant to disbe-
lieve; but he did not fail positive
" TO express his condemnation of
the means avowedly used to en-
trap Mr.. Pomeroy. It would have
been absurd for Mr.. Page. a quiet
banker, to plunge into that mad
scene, and charge York with thus
misapplyins his money to impose
on the convention.
Dfr. York talks glibly about
assassination. Mr.. Page was the
man to be afraid of assassination
if he had then and there attempt
ell to baffie desperate and malig-
nant conspirators hot for political
destruction of Mr.. Pomeroy.
In suhstantiation OF the truth
of these facts, Mr.. Pomeroy APP
peals to the evidence. BE will
not, as he could, oppose his mere
word to the mere word of Mr..
York. He might well do that, sec
ing that the statement of York is
in itself, contrary to all
the probabilities, and even
possibilities, of human action, IN
supported by q title of evidence
except his own word, and that
word tho word of IN avowed falsi- |
fer, deceiver and betraycr. AR.
Pomeroy contradicts peremptorily
the charges of York, naked asser-
tions as they are; but he goes fur |
Their and proves thier faslity, and
he appeals from the calumnies of
such a man to the consideration |
and estimation which he has the
right to claim at the close of an |
honorable career of twelve years |
in the Senate of the United States. |
