CONCORD, N. H., June 12.-Mr. wadleighs
reply to W. f. Chandlcrs letter was distributed
among the members Of the Legislature to-day.
In regard to the allegations concerning his
action in the matter Of the Voelter patent he
says: The patent was extended more than
two years ago. yet up to the time that Mr.
Chandler hired the Democratic correspondent
OF the Boston Globe to write letter about IT, not
Newspaper in the country had alluded to It.
Not one has endorsed that letter except two or
three in this State which are under Mr. Chand-
lers control. Even the Globe itself was ashamed
to approve II editorlally. The fact that no other
newspaper in the whole country. nor any poti-
cal opponent. ever took up the matter proves
conclusively that II is an electioneerinR false
hood"
In regard TO the charge Of lodging" made
in Mr.. Chandler's letter. Mr.. wadleigh says

The literature OF the present campaign
