Gen. Lew. Wallace, of Indiana, was called,
and stated that he was in Tallahassee during
the canvass of the electoral vote and was con-
stantly in Gov. Noyes' company: He never
heard any conversation between him and NC
Lin, and never heard them in conversation
together. He never heard him discuss the
canvass before 1t was closed with either NC
Lin or Cowgirl. He never heard him Intimate
that there were any frauds committed by the
Republican party which must be covered up.
He never heard him express any doubt that
the Republicans had elected their ticket:
Rec0llects that Gov. Noyes requested Dem
mis- to testify before the Canyassing Board
concerning Alachusa county, ana thay DenIns
expressed disinclination to do So but wit
ness received the impression that the diSln-

ger. Never received any impression from
Mr. Dennis, at that or any other time, that
any frauds had been perpetrated by Repub-
Iiaana Received a decided impression as to
frauds perpetrated by Democrats; Dennis

during visit at McFIin's house the latter tolc
had been at his house and had said there was
no necessity for his (McLin) being poo
man, and that II Mr.. Tilden could be counted
In he would be taken care of.
Witness said that was very bold PROPOSE
ton from Mr.. Marble, who had evidently for
gotten that IL Mr.. Hayes should be declared
|, elected he also could take care Of Florida Re
publicans, and witness thought no doubt h
would do so. He did not wish this to be con
strued as proposition made by him to Nc
Lin, for whom he had too much respect to d
such thing.
Attorney General John Little Of Ohio
stated he was in Florida at the time Of tn
electoral count. He, with Gov. Noyes, Gen
Wallace and Mr.. Andte, called upon McLil
on the day they left Tallahassee. When Gov
Noyes said to McLin that he had not Callet
upon him before for fear of having his visi
misconstrued McLtn replied that Democrat
had called at his house and he should not hav
thought it out Of the way if Republicans ha'
called also.
