the Committee Gov. Wells will swear that
two prominent and wealthy Democratic
citizens of New Orleans offered him p
heavy bride to count in the Tilden Elec-
tors. He promised them, after rejecting
their corrupt proposition, that he would
keep the interview a secret, but. since the
Democrats on the Committee have endeav-
ored by false testimony to destroy his per-
sonal and official reputation, he no longer
feels bound to respect his promise, and
has telegraphed to the New Orleans Dem.
ocrats to that effect.
1t is understood that his counsel will
demand the production of all kilograms

these two individuals during the sessions
of the Returning Board Republicans
begin to feel confident that the attempt to
blacken the Board will react upon the
Democrats when all the facts come out.
