reyers of point at the side of the tunic, and

The Vote of Florida.

Samuel B. McLin, of the Florida Re-
turning Board, is here. He has been
interviewed by the Post. He had come
back from New Mexico, the Senate hav-
ing failed to confirm him for that petty
judicial position. Being Intercepted
upon the subject whether he sold out to
secure that place, he made statement
to the effect that he had his
commission two months before he
consented to accept, and has been
very sorry that he did; that he was
not promised anything for his action by
the Republicans, and adds: eff any
promise of any kind was made I didn't
hear of it from our side. L did get an
offer from the other side. One of the
Democrats who came down to Florida
for Tilden's side came out to my house
and said to me: We've got all the re-
turns, and know for certainty that
Tilden is elected. Now you've got the
making of q President in your hands,
1 disclaimed anything of the kind, but
he kept insisting. He said we know
there's one member of the board that you
control. He'll vote any way you do.
Now, if you'll rise above party, and vote
to give the State to Tilden, there's moth
ing within the power of the Democracy

Manton Marble. / told him that would
not sell myself for 81, 900, 900; that I'd
die a poor man first, and he said You
needn't die poor if you'll just give the
State to Tilden. The Democratic party
will make you rich. 1t is great party,
and knows how to reward it's friends. 1t
will provide for you for life. L told

MARBLE DENIES THE SOFT IMPEACHMENT.
Manton Marble has written letter
denying the above charges, in which ne
saws: "I always treated Secretary Mo-
Lin, in my slight personal intercourse
with him, precisely as if he were an hon
est man. whose mere fulfillment OF his
official duty might oblige him to make
the painfui decision that his own party
had been defeated. L never called upon
him at his house, as he is reported to
have said. 'the night before the count.
In fact he was then closeted at the State
House with his confederates. And If he
has said that then, or at any other time,
in any way, directly or indirectly, or by
anv form or implication of language,
told him that the Democratic party
would make him rich, or nominate him
70 any Office, or that any one would dc
80 with my consent or furtherance, he
has uttered stupid lie.
