PHILADELPHIA,Oc Oct. 30.-The Press tomorrow
will publish the sworn statement of Jas. E.

ish, made to-day before notary public of this
city, respecting the authority of the sherman-
Anderson letter alleged to have been
written by the present secretary of the treas
ury to Anderson and Weber in New Orleans.
on the Goth Of November, 1885, and other mat
tiers connected with tbs Potter committee. It
sets forth that in June, 1878, after he testified
before the Potter committee on Louisiana af-
fairs he met in Philadelphia Ell. Webber, who in
course of long interview, stated he was in
possession of said letter. and would testify in
favor of the Democrats before the Potter com
mittee for the sum of $4,000 and that Ander-
son reported the conversation to j. r. Sypher,
attorney of this city, personal friend and
college chum of Clarkson N. Potter, and that
on the day following, Weber. Anderson and
sypher went to Washington City. Webber de-
clined to testify for over two weeks, giving as
a reason that the Democratic managers whom
he names would not pay him the sum he de-
manded. On the 9th of June, 1878, Weber in
formed Anderson that satisfactory arrangements
which he did on the I'd of July. Webber then
showed Anderson the letter received by him
(Anderson) and D. A. Webber from Sherman.
as supposed. Anderson then compared the
signature with an autograph of Sherman ex-
hlbited at Brady's, in Washington, and ex-
pressed to Webber doubts of its genuineness.
The affidavit goes on to explain the variations
in the testimony of q. L. Weber, and the
efforts made to fasten the letters upon the
secretary. It quotes by name quite number
of outside agents of the Potter committee and
members OF the national Democratic COM
mittea.

EVIDENCES OF CORRUPTION.

Little Villain Fletcher, who dictated Wash
burns nomination and is running the machine
ls largely interested at Crookston. He has &C.
cordingly insisted on the removal of the De-
troit land Office to Crookston. The order was
issued some weeks ago, and the land Office was
ordered closed at Detroit, Oct. IL, and to bs
re-opened at Crookston, Nov. IL.
AS might be expected this raised breeze At
Detroit and indignation against Washburn ran
very high. Washburn visited Detroit recently
and becoming alarmed secured revocation Of
the order for removal, md day or two ago an
order reached Detroit retaining the land Office
at that point for the present.
And now the people at Crookston are mad
and Washburn is liable to lose votes at that
point. Each town is sure that one will be
cheated and each is now in doubt as to the
victim. The probability is that if elected.
ne will cheat both and select a third point,
Inc episode shows his tricky character and his
arrant untrustworthiness and dishonesty. As
the result both towns will vote against him.

The Greed of the Wasn5,.rns.

There is one incident bearing on the char
acter of w. D. Washburn and the gang of
public plunderers with whom he associates
which ought to be known to every voter in
the Third district before the election. It
shows the tender regard he has for the poor
and those in distress. We despair that his
paid mouthpieces will give it publicity, for
there is just little danger that everybody
would not look at it in the same light.
Last winter the Washburn A and Wash
burn B mills had accumulated large quanti-
ties of bran, shorts and middlings, which
the managers were anxious to sell. But they
put SO high price upon the articles that the
people in want of them could not afford to
purchase, and were obliged to go to other
mills for their supplies for feeding purposes.
Still the Washburns refused to lower their
price. They would not sell below certain
stipulated sum, which was considerably
above the market value, and the consumers
refused to buy except at a reasonable
figure. AS the milling Of -four
went on, the stock of bran accumu-
lated until the mills had no longer storage
room. The owners of domestic animals
were clamoring for feed, and offered the full
market price for that which was lying idle
in the bins. The Washburns refused to sell
except at the arbitrary price they had fixed
in the first place.
Finally the storage capacity of the mills
was all occupied, and not another pound of
bran could be accumulated. Any other men,
possessing drop of the milk of human
kindness in their breasts, would have sold it
at reasonable price to the poor who were
in need of it, or given it away to people who
were not able to pay for it. Not thus did
the Washburns. They built eluice from
their mill to the Mississippi river, and cast
their bran upon the waters. Women and
children, too poor to buy, went to the sluice
with pals, hoping to get enough of the waste
bran to feed to their COWS, pigs or chickens,
but were driven away by the employees of the
mill with oaths and foul language. Thus
the Washburns wantonly destroyed thousands
of pounds of feed simply because
they could not extort On exorbi-
tant price for it from the poor
and needy. For six weeks this waton destruc-
ton continued, and for six weeks poor wo-
men and children witnessed it, while the
domestic animals in their care were famish-
ing for its want.
One of the Washburn mills exploded last
May, and seventeen lives were sacrificed.
An examination was had as to the cause,
some of the most eminent scientific
men participating. After careful inquiry
the conclusion was reached that the destruc-
ton was caused by the explosion of gas
generated by the bran and middlings on
store in large quantities in the bins. This
bran ought to have been sold as fast as it
was made, and would have been sold but for
the greed of the Washburns. Had it been
thus sold no gas would have generated, no
explosion would have occurred, and no lives
would haye been lost.

1.-The brass tester humbug has been found
out by John Gibbin, of Waverly, who meas
ured bushel of wheat on Fairbanks stand
ard scales, and it went aixty pounds to the
bushel. He carried it to the elevator and
the agent graded it as No. 8, just six pounds
less than the real weight, as No. ranks at
o. pounds, and No. at SO. What made
the difference in the scales; or what caused
the loss of them six pounds? He will Gre
act'' next Tuesday.
."The brass tester humbug has been found
OUT by Andrew McKinny, who took some
wheat to Washburn's Anoka mill, and it was
graded in the brass kettle No. 3. The mill
offered him 81 cents per bushel. Not being
satisfied he took his wheat to Minneapolis,
and the brass testers, as manipulated by the
wheat ring, gave him No. 2, and he realized
30 cents per bushel, or 10 cents more than
Washburn would pay at Anoka, where he
supposed he had the monopoly. He will
sereact' next Tuesday.
"The brass tester humbug has been found

county, who took wheat to Washburn's

% the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe.
Enclosed send you circular that has
been sent to subscribers of county papers in
this district as q supplement-. It is a
''good story to tell to the Marines" but
farmers are not fools to be humbugged by
Washburn and his gang of thieves, by such
lies. They know that they have been cheat
ed year after year by the scoundrels, not
only in the grade of their wheat, but also in
the weight.
In almost all Of tho elevators there Is a
RESERVOIR holding aoleat, directly over the
hopper, .ohere the farmers pour their
gram. as soon as the faaaner has
enaptsed his sack Of wheat into tile
hopper and so1sile he is upon has scagon tile
acesgher catches the aceight on tile scale, and
IN an instant slides back tho aoeigAt on the
scale 6ar-25 to $50 pou,1ds-at the same
time pulling back a lever so7asch lets into the
hopper ao1selt from the RESERVOIR a5ove. The
farmer thinks it strange that his wheat is
short in weight, as he has, perhaps, not only
measured but weighed it before going to the
elevator-but he has no remedy. The
scoundrels have mixed up his wheat with
theirs, SO that it can not be separated.
I have seen this damnabie thievinp
operation performed repeatedly at Farming
ton, in Dakota county, last year, and I am
informed that this is custom among all the
elevator mon to cheat farmers in this
manner.
stTHEY ALI. DO IT"
was told that farmer Of Denmark, near
Hastings, took some wheat to the latter
place. which fell short in weight upwards of
400 pounds, according to the weight given
him at the elevator. The swindling knayes
mixed up his wheat with theirs as usual and
thought to m AXE him sell at the loss, but the
farmer was game one and went to LAWYER
at once to sue the proprietors of the ele-
vator, and show up the matter, when they
came to time and paid him for his wheat in
full.
You are doing noble work for the farmers
in exposing the rascalities of the miIIers'
wheat ring. Washburn must be defeated
and Hodges elected to the House of Repre-
sentatlves. The Minneapolis wheat ring are
helping Mead to buy up the purchasable vote
OF the Fourth ward, but it is no use. HODGES
will be elected. The voters Of st. Paul want
no Minneapolis tool to represent them in the
Legislature poor one at that. So
Mead must take q back seat. He can re-
heerse some of the speeches he wrote
out to deliver on the Page irnpeach-
ment trial, but didn't. Thoss bursts
OF eloquence should not have been lost, but
as we can't stand them now, Mead must
bottle himself up for while, and wait until
some future time to spread himself. We
acant Hodges noeo, and are going to elect him.

The Corruption Fund at York.

"ashburn's corruption fund. stolen from the
farmers and swindled from his creditors, is at
work. He has captured the French paper in
this city, D. Michaud, editor. Whatever he
may have paid for this he was cheated as tho
paper has no influence but both it and it's edi-
atty.

have left $500 with the county officers. However
this may be, Jos. Peacock Democratic Sheriff,
