Philadelphia. S.-The Times will
print q long article, tomorrow, over
the signature OF s. K. Mcclure
with several letters TO sustain his
p~esition), proving quite cOnclusively
that prominent leaders of the Land
League have been negotiating for
the sale Of the votes of its members
to Cameron, republican. Mcclure
says the proposition to secure the
Irish Land League vote for General
Beaver was conceived by John G..
Delaney, who has long been known
as a dealer in Irish votes, with petty
Offices and cash as his rewards. On
lor about the 9TH of June last he first
appeared in Washington on q mis-
sion for tie purchase of tho Land
League leaders. He conferred with
Lrishmen who hold subordinate
places in government, and are pre-
.sumed to &c willing to accept any
method that promises to deliver
Irish voters TO Cameron, whether
honest or dishonest. He nnreServ-
eddy declared his plan and purpose
to fully half a dozen men, aud gave
the names OF Mr.. Walsh, of Penn
sylvania, as the man who had Sug-
.gestedi negotiations with Ed
ward O'Meager Condor, as the
Grand Lacquer as most likely to
make and execute a contract for
the transfer of LandLeaguevoters to
Beaver. Delaney proposed to bring
Condor and Cameron together TO
perfect the contract on the basis of
the removal of Minister Lo-
we'll from England, to en-
able Condor to mislead the
Irish and the payment Of a
liberal amount of money to Condor.
Delaney after consulting with
several other parties, had q confer
ence with Condor about the 5th of
June. They discussed the whole
plan and the details Of the agree
ment were then made by which
Cameron and Delaney were to Sc
cure 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 Irish voters, and he was to be
detailed by Assistant Secretary
New, to u nominal public in
sFection at different points in
Pennsylvania to enable him &c
reach the various Land League
centres, with the appearance of
performing official duty. Cameron
was not present when the original
contract WAS made III a general way
10y Delaney and Condor, but De-
Laney and Condor called on and
conferred with Cameron the day
after, when the contract for the de-
livery of the Land League to
Beaver was perfected in all details,
and Cameron agreed to have
notwithstanding New assign
Condor his ostenSible duty in Penn
sylvania. In DeLaney's letter,
dated August 18th, he tells that he
had Ga very satisfactory interview
with Cameron" aud that Cameron
sOld him that the day after he left
he had SCALED on Mr.. New and
asked for the leave of absence for
CoadOn GOr the purpose of helping
u.s., and that New assured HIM he
'CCondOD) could leave whenever
he was ready" After re-
ferring TO Condon'S greed for
money, Mcclure says i'll his letter of
June 18th, Delaney expresses Con-
dOn's greed when he says Condor
will have dollars and cents as the
permanent interest. On another
point Condor was particular to
guard against the possibility of any
one discovering his fraud and SpOils.
Delaney proposed to Condor to con-
fer with other trusted men of the
Irish organization TO secure their
aid in the work, but Condor APP
priSed Delaney that he could, with
the removal of Minister Lowell and
satisfactory compensation to him
self, transfer the Irish Land League
Of Pennsylvania bodily to Gamer
On'S candidate for governor. The
contract was therefore cOnsum-
mated with Edward O. MeagheT
Condor alone, with she conditions
that Minister Lowell should be re-
moved, if possible. to start the tide
of Irish enthusiasm for Arthur and
Cameron; that q large sum of money
was to be paid TO Condor in addi-
ton to his salary and Official travel
ing expenses, and Cameron was to
secure from Assistant Secretary
New an order assigning Condor to
an indefinite tour Of inspection duty
in Pennsylvania. These facts are
not given on idle Tumors, or loose
statements or TecOllectiOns, They
are in my possession as sworn facts,
and they are within the kn0Wl-
edge of several persons With
whom Delaney conferred. at
the time, and Of other persons with
whom he, in his pride at the sup
posed success Of his crime, detailed
the whole facts substantially as l
have given them. After giving the
letters aud kilograms of Delaney
and others, Mcclure adds that, in
pursuance of the contract, CoudOn
has been assigned Ostensibly 10 OIL
cial duty in this state. and is now
in Philadelphia. He receives full
pay as IN officer and full expenses
for travelling from government,
but, rs Delaney says, Condor will
have dollars and cents as a para
mount interest, and he is now being
largely paid out Of party assessment
