Gen. Sanborn that he would transfer to him
the votes Of the Land league, and in return
thereof he was to receive from Gen. Sanborn
the position OF clerk when the latter was cleo
ted city attorney" 1s,rss
Now, the said c. NJ. MacCarthy, being FIRST
duly sworn, do Idepose and say that the said
charge is wholly false, and that never made
any such bargain with Gen. 6anborn or any
one on his behalf. That in none of the politi-
cal conferences or conversations ] ever had
with Gen. Sanboru in reference to the recent
city elections was the Land league mentioned
or spoken Of by either him or me, nor was it,
or it's membership, in any way referred to di-
rectly or indirectly by either of us, and make
the statement not only in justice to myself,
but to the Land league, against which verify
believe the false and scandalous attack of
the GLOBE is directed with an evident intent
to injure and destroyitF sF'1 o
c. NJ. MAoCARTHY
Subscribed and sworn to before me this 9th
day Of May, A. D. 1881. As
Notary Public, Ramsey County, MINI.
The foregoing statement of Mr.. MacCarthy,
SO far as it relates to bargain between him
and myself, is strictly and literally true. No
such bargain was ever made.
JOHN B. sANBoRN.
st. Paul, May Z, 1851.
H CONTINUES TO SPEAK.
In regard to what he called the second
charge, that of receiving a commission,
he said would be left to such action as the
league deemed necessary. M
The attack of the GLOBE, he.said, had
been made to ruin him morally and polit
ically. AS the league had been gotten up
to preserve the rights of citizens of lre+
land, he hoped it would also protect its
friends from the attacks of party bosses
in this country; if an officer of the league
was to be stricken down so unjustly each
member was subject to the same peril.
He closed by charging that the GLOBE
had been an enemy to Parnell and the
land league, and that its editor possess
ed soul so small that he was the enemy
of the human race.
john Bell said that as treasurer OF the
league, he could assure the league that
not dollar of money ever went into
the pockets of Mac Carthy.

tician who asked him if he was mem
Der of the land league He replied, yes;
whereupon the person passed remarks
rejecting on Mr.. MacC Carthy's actions at
the polls, which the speaker promptly
repudiated. The speaker stated that as
the organization had not been political,
and as the person who had approached
him expected to run for Office next fall,
he would move to make the league po-

Mac Carthy for the position he, the poll

follows i
WHEREAS, The St. Paul Daily GLoBE, in its
issue of May 4th and 5th, charged c. M. Mac
Carthy, president of the league, with having
corruptly barganed his influence as an officer
of the league, to Gen. j. B. Sanborn, candidate
for city attorney at the last election, to secure
the votes of the members of the Land league
fer said Sanborn, and also charged said Mac
Carthy with taking for his personal services to
the league percentage or commission from
/ its funds, and the league having heard read
the. said charges, and also formal charge
signed by II. P. Hall, under date of May 7th,
in which he reiterates the first charge and
ignores the second, and we having heard the
the disposition Of G. M. MacCarthy and Gen.
Sanborn's endorsement of the same, do hereby
exonerate C. NJ. MacCarthy from the charges
and imputatiOns preferred against him by said
II. P. Hall, and we, the central league do
hereby pronounce the said charges as a GLOBE
and it's, editor who would stab the league
through is president, the better fitted to hide
the clOwnfOot of bigotry which has ever charac
terized Mr.. Halls relation to the league.
On motion of ]. j. Kennedy the re-
port was unanimously adopted.
