DR.. D. W. Bliss of Washington, well
known physician and member Of the Board
Of Health Of that city, who says Ramsdell
was formerly has chief clerk at Armory
Square Hospital, and that be had talked

Dr. Bliss letter is t. Senator Howe, of

The other letter D. from senator Spencer

ward talked with the room clerk upon the
same subject, and he told me Y0u were re-
fused q room Only because every one IN the
house wa occupied.
The Trii7fae reply 10 all thi=. Is 4 denial
that the Tribune charged Senator Carpen-
ter with drunkenness, and an assertion that
the hotel clerk lied. inasmuch g. the hatel
register shows that some thirty people al
rived and were assigned o. rooms. after
Mr. Carpenter wa- there, on the day
in question. To the most significant
assertion Of a responsible gentleman. that it,
reporter admitted t. him that the obvious
implication Of his telegram was false, the
Tribune has nothing to say. The Tins re-
Joins that the persons registered at the
hotel after Mr. Carpenter, had all engaged
rooms in advance and repeats its charge Of
deliberate SANDER and ial-ohood upon the
T. H. D.
We think most iair-minded people must
agree with the Boston Journal "that If the
article in question Is all the Tribune has to
oiier-as IL seeln~ IL iS-to substantiate What
appears to have been gross SANDER, it
will be well if the press join in showing
the honest, decent, truth loving people of
the country what manner Of men some
editors are who boast that the attack upon
Senator Carpenter was the work Of pure
and upright journalism, and few months
