Ben Hill is up to tricks again. Yesterday
when tho evidence in the kellogg case was
laid before the Senate, ii was found that tho
testimony of +. l.. Webber WIS printed in tho
testimony. Wobber was tho man who testi.
fed before the Potter committee that ho found
the Sherman letter in shoe box among his
dead brothers papers, aud tore it up aud
threw it in tho Mississippi river. When tho
Hill committee WAS at New Orleans Webber
testified against Governor Kellogg and he was
tho only member of the Legislature returned
by the Returning Board who did testify
against Governor Kellogg, and he did not vote
for Kellogg, but left the Packard Legislature
before Kcllogg's election. After he tcstined
he was allowed to leave the stand before cross
examination on the promise that he would
return. Ho never would return and submit
to be cross.eXamiued, so when tho com
mittee returned hero Governor Kellogg
applied for an attachment to secure his pres
encc. Tie opposition got alarmed lest if
brought hero there would be damaging dis
closures US to his testimony before the Potter
committee aud the manner in which 1t was
obtained, proof OF which has recently como to
light; and finding an attachment was TO bo
sent for Webbor, they agreed to strike his evil
donce from the record. What Is the surprise
of the Republican members Of the committee
to find it in the record laid before the Senate !?
The allidavits Of Kelley and Franklin, which
wero also ordered stricken from the record,

The I,ribery Feature OF tho Washburn.Don-
nelly Contest

Ignatius Donnoly, who is trying to steal
Mr. Washbun's seat in Congress, in his en-
deavOr to divert attention from the 5000 mn.
iority which the sitting member received over
him, has porsisteutly dinncd into the public
car the charge Of bribery. No reasonable
man, no matter what his party aililation3
may be, can find in all the testimony u single
word that sustains the charge OF bribery, or Il
word that shows the expenditure Of money
other than such as is usually spent in every
Congressional district for ordinary expenses.
The contestants claim that large sums were
spent in Mr.. Washburn's behalf in district
with an easy Republican majority Of from
5000 to 1000 is simply ridiculous We have
carefully looked through the entiro testimony
in this case and have grouped together all tho
different cases in which money was paid for
any purpose whatever, and ilud rs follows:
In Mr.. Washburn's behal-For teams and
services Of men to get voters to the polls aud
pedding tickets at tho polls, 1924.
Instance; One Motcaf was paid SIS for his
teams by the Republican County committee in
behalf Of the entire ticket; one clouter was
paid $50 for his eight days services with
double team in making canvass Of several
towns.
In Donnolly bshaf-For like expenses and
services, S25.
Instance Fleckeustou, Il farmer, received
$40 in 4 letter with Democratic tickets aud
lie worked and voted for Donnelly; Yerning
received S. for his team and days work for
Donuely on Democratic tickots.
In behalf of local eandidates-$90
Instance: John Curry swears that c. ID.
GilRlhn, of st. Paul candidate for State
Senate gave him S25 to work for him, and
that he worked aud voted for Donuelly; John
Flahorty received $40 from II. Borden, candi,
date for Legislature, and he voted aud worked
for Donnely; one Werrick received S3O-$lO
from Newell candidate for State Senate; $40
from DR., Murphy, candidate for Reprcseuato-
tive, and $40 from Cornish, candidate for
County attorney, which ho divided between
himself and two other men; they all worked
for tho candidates named aud voted for Dou.
nelly,
The above shows the character of the evil
dencu introduced BY Donnelly to prove bribery
against Mr. Washbum, They arc fair
specimens of the whole charge. II is a further
significant lUut that so far us Mr., Washburn
is concerned the evidence nowhere IN single
instance shows That he expended a dollar In
the campaign for any purpose whatever. 1t
rcsts ON still weaker foundation than his
charge of intimidation Of tho free, white work.
