To TIE Editor Of The Chicago tribune:

against Caldwell seems to be = clear one, and &
little curiosity will naturally be manifested as to
how the othor honest Senators (for the remainder
are al honest, save, perhaps, poor Brother
Harlan, who, it has leaked out during the Credit
Mobilier investigation, received e1o,ooo from
Du1nnt to aesist in his election) will vote
in the Caldwell csss. For instance, how
will the honest and faithful Senator from New
York (Conkling) vote? He has been reelected
for another term. Six years ego be defeated
Judge Davis just one vote in the Republican
caucus, and Judge Davis said at tho time that it
cost Conkling CSC, 600 to secure that nomination.
And how will the honest and faithful Senator

Of his election, it WAS charged, and enectualy
proven, that nearly 5100, 600 WIS uaed IN his be-
