Sellers says Marble spent his time while in vy,,a.

Caleb Gushing is too shrewd to be caught in an

Butler wishes he could follow suit and leave tha

himself.

one more proof that his testimony before the Potter
Committee is absolutely worthless. What he SAY.

There is no end of claiming" going on BY the
political managers in Massachusetts, The Boston
1rarelLer has made inquiries at all the party head
quarters. and the result shows that while the But-
Ter party makes almost as confident claims az the
Republican, the Republicans base their estimates
actual figures ascertained by careful canvass,
and the Butterflies base theirs ON reckless gnesses
and on the slgners to the Butler petitions. The
chairman of the Republican Committee says Talbot
buffers chairman gives Butler 10000 votes:
Talbot 105, 900: Abbott II, 000 and Miner 5000.
ADbotts CALCULATIONS Slyi Talbot 10000 Butler
$4,000; Abbott 40, 900, and Miner 5000 Thus it
will be seen that the Abbott Democrats give Talbot
plurality of 10000, which corresponds with the
Republican claim.
Dir. Hewitt gives conclusive testimony on the
subject of expenditures by the National Democratic
Committee in the Reform campaign. He says 70
a reporter Of The EreRiRg Post: Il have examined
the amount Of expenditures made with my knowl-
edge under my direction as chairman of the Ma
tiona Committee, and find that during the whole
period intervening between the day of the election
and my resignation as chairman on the 4th OF
March following, the whole amount did not exceed
Fl 700; and this amount consists Of items which
am ready and willing to show. From beginning TO
end l resoIutely refused to make any expenditure
or TO entertain any proposition looking to any ex-
penditure designed TO influence the vote OF any
Presidential Rlector." This shows that Mr.. smith,
of Chicago did not put up his Copenhagen Tor the
COparceners in the hands of Mr. HewItts Commit

cOmpoop Bureau.
1t is waste of time to try 10 show the Editor Of
The Nation the size Of the spectacle he is making OF
himself on this cipher question: but it may be well
TO show some of his readers how grossly be pervers
the facts He still insists that the Republicans
bought the Presidential votes of South Carolina aud
Florida because the Democrats tried to buy them
and failed. This is the way ne puts his case: 1t
appears clearly that the court corrupt and that
the plaintiff there tried to buy ITS judgment; butt
appears also that il was you Republicans after all
who got Judgment. Now, how DID you get it from
this confessedIy corrupt tribunalp So far as South
Carolina goes this is false statement of the case
Smith Weed admitted in his correspondence with
PeIton that the State was honestly for Hayes. VI
course the court" would decide for him without
bribe because II was Republican court. In FLORIDA
Marble admitted that the Democrats claimed
less than 100 majority on the face of the returns;
that the Republicans also claimed the state.
and that the "court' was controlled BIZ the kepub-
leans Here also. All uninfluenced Judgment
would have been given naturally for the Republic

only through bribery. Another thing: Does man
