ALLEGED PLOT TO SECURE THE LAND LEAGUE VOTE
IN PENNSYLVANIA FOR GEN. BEAVER
Mr.. A. K. Mcclure, editor OF the Philadelphia
Times, in a letter to the secretary OF the Central
Branch Land League OF Pennsylvania, makes the
charge that John c. Delaney, State librarian, has
plotted to secure the land league vote for Gen.
Beaver, the transfer to be made through the nfu-
ence OF one Edward O'Meagher Condor, the con-
tract being on the basis OF the removal OF Minis
ter Lowell from England, to enable Condor TO mis-
lead the Irish, ana the payment OF liberal amount
OF money 10 Condon." Several letters, alleged TO
have been written by Delaney, tending TO prove
the accusation, are submitted by Mr. Mcclure, who
not only charges that Delaney had conferences
with Senator Cameron the subject, but also as
sertS that condor was detailed from one OF the de-
partmentS in Washington for oStenSible govern
ment duty in Pennsylvania, but really for the pur-
pose OF visiting the various land league branches.
Mr.. Mcclure expresses willingness to submit the
question OF the genuineneSS OF the Delaney letters
(Which he publishes, TO Gov Hoyt and eX-Gov
Hartranft, both or whom are familiar with De-
laneyS handwriting.
