the allegation as yet not denied. that
Williams has proposed to give slOO'OOO

and give him a clear field.
IL says Of Mr.. sharon
Next we have William Sharon, a
wealthy and successful banker and spec
ulator, who. though not possessing the
learning. and forensic and legal ability
OF Mr.. Williams. is recognized as a
shrewd. far-sseing business man, with
considerable solid sense and q very fair
conception Of political economy. This
gentleman Is making the fight squarely
on money. We do not mea particu-
larry that he intends to buy his way to

penses which precedent has attached to
all Senatorial contests in this State, and

"a waif upon the political sea-" and
says that he is not making a moneysd
fight, for the reason "that he has not
