Hon. John 4. Martin:
DEAR SIR-Herewith 1 hand you
statements from Messrs. Otis &
Click, and David Aud, to the
truth of which they are willing to
make oath, concerning certaiH1
transactions charged in the KAN
sas City Times. The article ap-
peared in that paper while / was
absent in Colorado, and on my re-
turn, several days ago, I was I'M
decided whether to pass it by in
silent contempt or procure a de-
NAL from these gentlemen who had
the means of knowing whether the
charges were true are false. Iuas-
much as it indirectly implicated
myself, as well as directly assail-
ed Mr.. Ingalls,, concluded, with
out knowing his wishes, to call
on these gentlemen for the facts.
And in this connection I will
avail myself of the opportunity to
make brief statement about my
appointment as u. S. District
Judge.
1 never had but two converse
lions with Mr.. Ingalls, on the sub
ject, previous to nav appointment
and these conversations were very
brief, and were during his triI
home OF the death of his child.
The objections which were urg
ed against the candidates for thu
Judgeship were spoken of, and al
so the probability of a new maj
being taken up. He promised m,
nothing, but rather indicated tina
he would adhere to Horton.
told him that / was not a candi
date in opposition to Judge Hor
ton.
The subject of money or an,
other valuable consideration 70
supporting me was never men
toned by either of US. Neithe
did Mr.. Aud or any one else, t.
my knowledge, ever offer him O
any one for him, one dolla
or any other comrensatio
for my appointment. 1 al
| dNhlC Glttb lila Va Dlbti1 AVA
Aud, and others of our cit
liens, expressed to him desir
to have me appointed, especial
if Judge Horton could not sue
coed.
, After Mr.. Ingalls, returned t
Washington, l had no communics
ton with him until after the pres
: dispatches announced my appoint
ment. -.,s.-.
It is not true that I promised @
undertook to hush up the Kansa
City Times, or that Mr.. Ingall
expressed such desire; and it
altogether unlikely that Mr.. Aul
or any one else could have pal
him any money for my appoint
| ment without my knowledge.
AS to the other charges of col
ruption in that disreputable art
Gle, 1 know nothing personally
but judging from the charge
made in connection with my name
1 can only conclude with the legs

Neosho County Journal.

The Republican candidate for
of Neosho county, was born in Wy
oming county, N. Y, in 1884, and,
like other farmer boys, received a
common school education in the
primitive log school-house of those
early days.
At the age of seventeen he emi-
grated to California, where for five
years he was engaged in the labo RI
Gus calling of mining, and receiving
discipline for the duties of life in
the somewhat rude but Intelligent
society which held sway at that
early date in the golden state.
Thence he removed to Marshall,
Michigan, where for a series of
years he was engaged in farming !;
and in 1861 he made 4 location in
Chetopa township, in this county,
where he yet dwells as a cultivator
of the soil.
Mr.. Salter bought tract of deed
ed land, and hence was not person.
ally interested in the land suits that
threatened to render homeless his
neighbors; but his fine sense of
justice and active sympathies made
him at once espouse their cause as
his own, and with his ability and
energy, placed him in the van as a
trusted leader of the people. He
has faithfully served for four terms
as worthy chief counsellor of the
settlers protective association, and
is to day looked up to as guide and
friend by thousands of settlers on
the Usage ceded lands, who know
his zeal and ability in their cause.
We will add that Mr.. Salter is a
member of a church, an active
worker in the Sabbath school, and
always has been a strong advocate
of temperance principles, and has
the self-reliant manhood to practice
his precepts.

DEAR Strive have received
your communication TO us, of date

articles published in the Kansas
City Times, and asking us as to
certain statements therein made.
In reply to your letter we would
say that we have seen articles pub

refer, being under date of August
7 and August IA, and in reply to
your special inquiries we would
state: That we have no knowl-
edge of any money being used
that we had no such letter in our
possession as is referred to in the
articles named in the Kansas City
Times, and of course we never de
livered any such letter to Mr.. In
gallsl that we never received any
money from David Aud, or any
other person, for the delivery of
any such letter; that we never re-
ceived any money from any per-
son or bank in connection with
your appointment, nor did we dis
burse any. All the connection
we ever had with your appoint
ment was to express, in a general
way. in common with other citi-
zens,7 Dur opinion that you were a
suitable person for the position,
both in point of capacity and in
tegrity, and this We cheerfully
stated.
We viii place the above facts in

neSses.
All will remember the fourteen
columns of vile ISLANDERS published
by the Kansas City Times a few
weeks ago against u. S. Senator
John j. ingalls,, of Atehison.
Those acquainted with the politi-
cal history of the state for fifteen
years had personal knowledge of
the falsity of some of the Times
statements.
The statement published by Mr..
Ingalls, two weeks ago giving the
history of the Usage Coded Land
suit, by which the settlers obtain
ed the titles to their lands, gave
positive and satisfactory denial to
various charges contained in the
Times so-called expose.
And now comes a complete vim
dication of the Senator from the
worst charge in the batch, to-wit:
that money had been used to induce
ingalls, to procure the appoint
ment of Hon. C. G. Foster, as
/ United States Judge for the Dis
trict of Kansas. At the time the
so called expose was made by the
Times Judge Foster was in Colora.

The following correspondence
explains itself. 1t will be seen
that Judge Foster would not con
sent to rest under the imputation
of holding a judicial position pro-
cured by corrupt influences. He
therefore addressed letters to all
the parties named in the so-called
expose of the Kansas City Times,
asking whether the statements
concerning his appointment had
any foundation whatever in fact.
The replies of Messrs. Otis, Click
and Aud, gentlemen whose evil
dence is perfectly conclusive, and
whose reputation for veracity will
not be Questioned, are given be-
low.
Our old fellow citizen Judge
VIM. Mills, now of Chicago, also
sends an affidavit concerning a
charge made by the Times, in
which he is implicated.
We commend this correspond
ence to the careful and impartial
consideration of the public gcner-
