THE DEMOCRACY FIGHTING FOR THE sPoHs-
THE RING DESPERATE.
The Kansas City Journal Of Commsrcs Of the
S1st inst, says: "The aght in the Democratic
party gains furiousnesS daily-ths ring Is des-
perate and allows nothing and nobody that
stand in its way to escape. The latest victim
is Mr.. W. q. Robertson, whose offence Is that
last spring, and again this summer, he has
taken strong grounds against the corrupt,
fraudulent practices BY which the ring main
talns its ascendancy in the party, and, through
the party, in the county and city. Mr.. Robert
son should have known, and probably did
know, that such q position would invite the
most determined snd bitter attacks Of the ring,
and II required moro than ordinary courage for
q Democrat to take It. They have BY their
attacks forced Mr.. Robertson into position
where heEtands as the champion, In this fight,
Of virtue In party affairs, and though they may
prove too strong fol him, they have made him
many sympathizers, for many Democrats are
thoroughly disguised with the frauds practised
by the ring in maintaining tie ascendancy and
IN the management Of public affairs"

Thus gentlemen OF the committee hav-
ing laid before You the above sworn
statement, which have purposely re-
stricted TO the relations Of Mr.. Beecher
with Mr.. Tilton only and with
no other person or persons,
/ wish to add an explanation due
TO yourself. In the Golden Age, a,ely
edited by me- suggestion wa' made,
not with nv knowledge or consent, that
your committee in order to be justly con-
stituted should comprise, in addition 10
six members appointed by Mr.. Beecher,
six Others appointed by myself To no
such proposition would / have consented,
for | have never wanted any tribunal
whatever for the investigation Of thi.
subject. Neither your committee aS at
present constituted, nor an enlarged
committee ON the plan mentioned, nor
any other committee of any kind, could
in and of itself have persuaded or
compelled me 10 lay before You
tho facts contained in the pre-
ccding statement. Distinctly be- il under
stood that these facts had not been evoked
bv Your committee because of any su-
thority which | recognize in You ~ n
tribunal Of inquiry, nor would il have
been Welded up to any other commit
tee or board Of reference however con-
except court of law, but on the
have divulged the above
statement solely because of the openly
published demand for il, made directly 1"
me by Rev. II. W. Brcchcr, aided aud
abettcd BY Mrs. r.. X. Tilton. These two
parties, these alone, and not your commit
tee, have by their action prevailed upon
me; no other authorities or inhu-
rnceS except court Of law could haN"
ernVpuwerml enough to have started
from me the above disclosure. For the
SAKE of one Of these parties gladly would
| have continued to hide these facts in
the future, n have inccsSantly striVrn
to in the past, but by the joint action "t
