KEY AND CASEY YOUNG INTERVIEWED.
Washington Republican. June LIST: An
epistle, signed From One Who Knows You,
printed in yesterdays Post with quas-edito-
rial prominence, as a reply to Postmaster
General Keys recent open letter, was dis
cussed by the political gossips yesterday.
Judge Keys attention was called to it, last
night, by a Republican reporter, who asked
him if he had read it. The so-called con-
Meeting hgament between the administration
and the apocryphal conservative element in
the south replied that he had not.
well, Judge, it charges you with having
been told the names of three Republican
senators who would and will vote to turn
President Hayes out tomorrow, on no more
proof of fraud than now exists. Do you
know anything about it,"
Judge KEY do not.
Reporter-Do you know who the senators
are-the three alluded to?
Judge Key-No, | do not But let Inc
Il 1Eok I III, l.
haven't read the paper you refer to, nor do
wish to.
This closed the interview, and the Repub-
licdn sped speedily, as it were, on the Avenue
| cars to Capitol Hill, where Hon. Casey
Young, Of Tennessee, was discovered in his
bachelor quarters engaged in the necessary
and pleasing GU duty Of correspondence with
with the inquiry, did you read the letterP''
This question met with quick response in
| the affirmative.
"Well, who are the three Republican SEN
ators alluded to thecein?''
Mr.. Young-I really don't know; but ]
suppose Mr.. Con king is one OF item.
Rep0rter-And who is another? s.
Mr. Young-I reckon you might put down
Mr.. B-aiae as another, though really DON'T
know. That's the rumor, thougl-common
| rumor, l might say.
Reporter-And who is the third one?
Mr.. Young Wby-why-what's his name d?
That old gentleman from Wisconsin.
Reporter-4Ou mean Senator Howe, of
course; but you must he Joking about this
| The idea of M. Conkling, Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Howe combining for such a purpose IS
ridiculous.
Mr.. Young-You, perhaps, don't under
stand that the writer of the letter probably
referred to the period of the existence of the
electoral commission.
Reporter-Who do you think, Mr.. Young.
wrote this quasi editorial letter? y
Mr.. Young really don't know. Some
people charge it to me, but | never heard of
1t until this morning. / must say however,
that believe in that portion of it which can
be characterized as reply to Judge Keys ar
guments- There is no danger to be apprehend:
ed, such as he seems to fear; no danger of
DISCRIMINATION, or anything of the kind.
1ou couldn't get five southern men together
to go deliberately to work now to GUST Mr.
Hayes.
Reporter. then, do you think will
be the upsbot OF this new evidence-this
! M LIN and Anderson business?
| Mr.. Young have been a lawyer in active
| practice for twenty years. That experience
| teaches me not to believe the testimony oil
witnesses who turn States evidence" as the
| saying 49,. You couldn't get jury in my
section to believe these men, M Lin and An
| derson, or any one like them, no matter
how solemnly they might swear.
| Reporter-Well, what's to be done in this
! crisis?
Mr.. Young-Oh, the country will get along
well enough. There's General Sherman, foI
example. He and men like him will pull us
through this furry if their advice is followed
as think it will be. His speech in New York
on Decoration day was one of the best
ever read. 1t will go great way toward the
restoration of confidence between the north
and the south-more than any of the many
that have yet been made. Weighed against
it, case built upon the testimony of such
men as NJ Lin and Anderson will have nc
strength. No one could or should be con.
victed of anything on their unsupported testl
mony.
