The matter of nominating q candidate
for U. S. Senator by the Republican
other questions before the Legislature
thus far, and, consequently, but two or
three unimportant bills have, as yet, been
passed. A little breeze was created in
the House on Thursday, by 0. c. Moore |
of Nashua, who rose to a question of
privilege, calling the attention Of the |
House to an article in the Daily Monitor
which he said reflected on him and his |
honor and required explanation. He had
the article read by the clerk. 1t occupies
a column and half in the Monitor, and
is headed " A misrepresentation Exposed
and contains letters written to Hon. e.
II. Rollins by the publishers of the Am
herst Cabinet, Portsmouth Chronicle,
Great Falls Journal, Lake Village Times,
Portsmouth Journal, Dover Enquirer,
| Concord Monitor and John G. Moore, de-
nying that the latter named gentleman
had written articles for them urging the
election of Mr.. Rollins to the U. s. Sen
ate, as charged in his paper by Mr.. o.
c. Moore.
Mr.. Moore then continued his remarks.
He betrayed much feeling and nervous
ness. He said the article was an implica
ton on his integrity and tended to strip
from him his friends whom he had earned
by life of honesty. He denied that he
had made the charges attributed to him.
He had only said in his paper that he had
| Il FOR hot hp kInnro hn1
in the employ of Mr.. Rollins in writing
articles for the Monitor, and all insinua-
tions or statements that he had said any
thing further were utterly false. He then
read an affidavit from himself, sworn to
before Secretary of State Prescott, that
in a recent conversation with w. E.
Stevens, editor of the Monitor, he
(Stevcns) told him that he had advised
Mr.. Rollins to dismiss John C. Moore
from his employ. He presented another
affidavit from Capt. A. B. Thompson,
Deputy Secretary of State, sworn to be-
fore Oliver Pillsbury, to the effect that j.
c. Moore had told him that he was writ
ing articles in favor of Mr.. Rollins for
the Senatorship, as a matter of business
and friendship, and that he had done the
same thing when Mr.. Rollins was can
didate before, for all the Republican pa
, pers that would publish them. He said
that he had observed that the reputation
of candidate for senatorial honors in
this State was being bolstered up by GER
tiflcates of the officers of the Union Pa
citic Railroad affirming facts as true
which had never been denied. What
business and what right had this corpor-
alton to interfere with the election of q
F U. S. Senator in New Hampshire? And
, what shall be said of man who pub
: fishes these aflidavits or letters to dis
f prove charges that | never made? The
man who would resort to such means
from such motives cannot have my COM
mendation and my support applause.
