ST.. CLOUD: Minn., Feb. III. Y. Brewer,
register in the land Office, was examined to-day
in the Donnelly- -Washburn contest. He testi-
fed that he had had correspondence with Wash
burn; that he received from Minneapolis $50
or more; that he had canvassed the counties of
Todd and Morrison in behalf of Washburn:
that he had paid money to different parties
named by him for working at the polls, for the
hire of teams, for cigars, beer, etc. Some of
these were Democrats. He thought it was all
right to hire Democrats to work at the polls for
Republicans. His memory was very bad as to
great many particulars. He could not rec
ollect what amounts he paid to anybody. He
could not tell whether he was in North Prairie
one hour or two days. He could not tell wheth-
er he spent $50 or $500 in the canvass
He told Of one man, Charles Berens of North
Prairie, who offered to write to Washburn and
sell his influence to Washburn for $50, but
Washburn, Brewer says, didn't want to buy.
but sent the letter to him (Brower) and he saw
secure. What he (Brower) paid out for expenses
of travel, ETC., was repaid him by the commit
tee.
good many amusing scenes occurred over
Brower's inability to remember anything about
money paid out by him. fHis testimony, ,[on the
whole. was very damaging to Washburn.
