Especial Dispatch to The Epe,st,ag Star.l
ALBANY. N. Y, June Il.
AS the investigation of the bribery charges
proceeds the excitement over the senatorship
continues. The air is full of rumors this morn
Ing about other Senators attempting to pur.
chase votes Of members OF the house. The drift
OF all these stories is to the effect that the
half breed senators have connected themselves
into lobby to buy up the stalwarts OF the as
semoly. Among all the rumors it is difficult to
tell how much truth there is about bribery 50
much is deep down In the well," where 1t can
not be reached.
The cross-examinatton OF Bradley continues
the half breeds are bOast1ng that they have
got so many contradictions out Of him that it
upsets his charges, while the stalwarts are Ger.
tain that he has sustained his charge and shown
that his first story is absolutely true Up to
this point the half breeds assert that Bradley
has upset himself, and the stalwarts that he
has established his charge on that line the
TWO factions are contending, and they are like
~ to maintain that position whatever hap
pens.
One thing has been pretty well settled by
Bradley's actions on the stand; that 1s IL it
was conspiracy, sCme one else besides Mr..
Bradley must have concerted it. Tor he does not
mated any such scheme.
The Epentno Journal insists that 1t was q
conspiracy, and calls upon the legislature to
stamp Tue conspiracy out Dy elect1ng DepeW.
The Express. the stalwart organ, maintains
that corruption has been proved. and that 1t is
the result OF Jay Gould and James g. Blaine
trying to control the party and crush out
Conkling. 1t adds: "The republican party
was brought into disrepute by the Credit
Mobfller exposures In 1873 and IL is to be hoped
that Ii Will not be made the victim of another
such scandal. The present contest In this
city has national significance. because it fs q
desperate effort to destroy q statesman, who
has Deen proof against all the corruptions OF
washington life; who covered the salary grab
oack Into the Treasury, While his enemies
pocketed 1t, and who has stood tmmovable In
his defence OF the honor and integrity OF the
republican party"
EX-Sepators Conkling and Platt are both
mere watching events. and the former openly
taxes the position that candidates are unim-
pOrtant; that II matters but little who may be
elected or defeated The great question which
OughC 10 concern every republican and every
citizen Is how corruption In and around the
legislative halls Of the state can be arrested:
that individuals are of no account when events
OF tnat KIND are occurring; and that it is the
DUTY OF all 10 prooe the charge OF bribery and
corruption TO the bottom, 1t matters not who
are hit. 0
The half breeds are expecting eccessions to
DepeW today, yet their leaders admit thar
there is DO possible chance for an election until
some compromise is effected to which Mr..
Conknng and his friends will assent. and were
this morning trying to see If they could NOT
orlng ABOUT combination Of the contendiny
interests on Crowley and Depew. 1t has not
succeeded yet.
