satisfactorily in my letter of July 31st,

time was sufficiently conclusive to satisfy
any fair-minded citizen, knowing tn @

to his own infamy, and have done So, as
Is Oeroin demonstrated.
Delaney Opens the Sale.
The proposition to secure the Irish Land
League vote for General Beaver, was con.
ceived by John C. Delaney. who has long
been known as a dealer in Irish votes,
with petty offices and cash as his rewards.
On or about the 5th of June last, he first
appeared in Washington on the mission
for the purchase of Land League leaders.
He conferred with several Irishmen who
hold subordinate places in the government
and are presumed to be willing to accept
any method that promises to deliver tho
Irish voters to Cameron, whether honest
or dishonest. He uureservedly declared
his plan and purpose to fully half dozen
men, and gave the name of Mr.. Walsh Of
Pennsylvania, as the man who had sug-
gested negotiations with Edw. O'Meagher
Condor, as the Land League leader most
likely to make and execute q contract for
the transfe: of tho Land League voters to
Beaver. Delaney proposed to bring Con
don and Cameron together to perfect the
contract on the basis of the removal of
Minister Lowell from England, to euable
COnden to mislead the Irish, and the pay
ment of liberal amount Of money to
Condor.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Contract
Delaney after consulting with several
other parties, had conference with Con
don on or about the 5th of June and lunch
ed with him. They discussed the whole
plan, and the details Of the agreement
we're then made. by which Cameron and
Delaney were to secure the removal OF
Minister Lowell, to give Condor a plea to
present to the Irish Condor was to be
paid literally for his services in defraud-
ing the Irish voters, and he was to he de-
tailed by Assistant Secretary New to nom
inal public inspection at different points in
Pennsylvania, to enable him to reach the
various Land League centres with an ap-
pearauce of performing official duty. Cam
eron was not present when the original
contract was made in a general way by
Delaney and Condor but Delaney and
Condor called Oh and conferred with Cam.
erOn the day after, on or sbout the 9th OF
June, when the contract for the delivery
of the Land League vote to Beaver wat
perfected in all details, and Cameron
agreed to have Assistant Secretary New
assign Condor to Ostensible duty in Penn
sylvania. In Delaney's letter hereinafter
published, dated August 18th, he tell.
that he had "a very satisfactory interview
with Cameron and that Cameron tOlG
him that the day after he left, he had
''called on MIR. New aud askc,l for leave
of absence for Condor for the purpose o.
helping us) and that New assured him hs
(Condon) could leave whenever he wa.
ready"
COndOn's Greed for Money.

bitterly of COndon's greed for money. HI
complained of Condon's exorbitant de
| mands from the party, when the govern
ment would pay Condon's regular salary
and ali necessary expenses while profes
sedly on public duty in Pennsylvania. St
great was Condon's selfishness in tho mat
ter that Delaney distrusted him. In hi!
letter of juno 10Th, hereinafter given
Delaney expressed COndon's greed when
he says" Condor soiM haze dollars ant
cents as the paramount interest.'' On an
other point Condor was particular t.
guard against the possibility of any ont
sharing his fraud and spoils. De
laney proposed to Condou to confer
with some other trusted men of til,
Irish organization, to secure their aid il
the work, but Condor assured DELANEY
