New YORK, Nov. 2-Gov. Chamberlain in a
letter to the Tribune, denies seriatim every
charge made in the recent letter of Gov Ran
dolph Of New Jersey. He says that out of ten
Republican judges in the state, all but two sup
port him; that Hagood, clerk of the U. S. Cir.
cult Court, and Pointer, U. S. superintendent
of elections, are warm political supporters and
both equvocally commend and applaud his re-
cent action in suppressing domestic violence
and insurrection in the state; ana that evidence
accumulates each day and hour, which would
appal the stoutest and hardest heart. He con-
cludes thus:
New murders come to light, new evidence of
conspiracy to disfranchise a race and crush
by brute force whole people, multiplying with
with each step of the investigation. Gov. Ran
dolph consigns me to wretchful fate, whether
elected or defeated. 1 accept fully the respon-
sibllity of all my acts, and await with conf
dence the verdict which just men will render
upon my efforts to discharge duties as difficult
and trying as have fallen to the lot Of any
American governor. i certainly do not envy
the fate which will oyertake the man who has
come here for purely partisan ends to gather
