For Gen. Beaver Editor Mcclure Shows Up

and the Removal of Minister
Lowell Demanded.
FULL DETAILS OF THE SCHEME

PHILADELPHIA, September 9.-It will be
remembered that in the Labor Convention
last week Mr.. Walsh, Of Schuylkill county,
denounced Colonel Mcclure, editor of the
Times, as liar when he asserted that there
had been bargain for the sale Of the Land
lesgue votes to Cameron. This mornings s
Times comes out with long article, signed
by Colonel Mcclure, in which, he claims TO
give facts substantiating all the former
assertions. The letter Il, ad-
dressed 10 T. P. o'MaliS, secre-
tary of the Central Branch Land League,
of Scranton. In il he says: The PROPOSE
ton to secure the Irish Land League vote
for General Beaver was conceived by John
G. Delayney, who has long been known as
A Dealer In Irish Voters,
with petty offices and cash as his rewards
On or about the 5th of June last, he first
al peared in Washington on a mission for
the purchase of the Land League leaders.
He conferred with several Irshmen who
hold subordinate places in the Government
and presumed TO be willing to accept any
method that promised to deliver Irish
voters to Cameron, whether honest or
dishonest. He unreservedly declared his
plan and purpose to fully half a dozen
men, and gave the name OF Mr.. Walsh, OF
Pennsylvania, as the man who had suggest
ed negotiations with Edward OMeagher
Condor as the Land League leader most
likely to make and execute a contract for
the transfer of 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 enable Condor to mislead
the Irish, and the payment of liberal
amount Of money to Condor. Delaney,
after consulting with several other parties,
had a conference with Condor about the
fifth of June. They discussed the whole
plan, and the details of the agreement were
then made, by which Cameron aud De-
laney were TO secure the removal OF Minis
ter Lowell TO give Condor q plea TO pre-
sent to the Irish; Condor was TO be paid
literally for his services in defrauding
Irish voters and he was to be detailed by
Assistant Secretary New to nomi-
points in Pennsylvania, TO enable him
to reach various Land League CEN
tiers with the appearance OF performing Of
fetal duty. Cameron was not present when
the original contract was made in general
way by Delaney and Condor, but Delaney
and Condor called on and conferred with
Cameron the day after, when the contract
for
The Delivery OF the Land League Vote
to Beaver was perfected in all the details,
and Cameron agreed TO have Assistant
Secretary New assign Condor to ostensible
duty in Pennsylvania. In Delaney's letter,
dated August llth, he tells that he had
very satisfactory interview with Cameron
4 l.. a affn
he had left, he had called on
Mr.. New and asked for leave OF absence for
Condor (for the purPo7v uf heiplng ns,)
"a tb.. NaT assured him he (Condon)
aH,.,d ieave whenever he was ready. Afto-
referring to Condon's greed for money,
Mcclure continues: "ln bis letter OF June
II, Delaney expresses Condor s greed when
he says, Condor will have dollars and
cents as the paramount interest. On an.
other point Condor was particular TO guard
against the possibility of anyone sharing
his fraud and spoils. Delaney proposed to
Condor to confer with some other
Trusted Men In the Irish Organization
TO secure their aid in the work, but Condor
assured Delaney he could, with the remoV-
al of Minister Lowell, and satisfactory
conversation to himself transfer the Irish
Land League of Pennsylvania bodily to
Cameron's candidate for governor. The
contract was therefore conSummated with
Edward OMeagher CondOn alone, with the
conditions that Minister Lowell should be
removed il possible to start the tide OF the
Irish enthusiasm for Arthur and cameron
that a large sum of money was TO be PAID
TO Condor, in addition to his salary and
travelling expenses, and Cameron was to
secure Assistant Secretary News order as
signing Condor 10 an indefinite tour OF in
spection duty in Pennsylvania. These
facts are not given on idle rumor or loose
statements or recolleclions. They are in
my possession as sworn facts, and they are
within the knowledge Of several persons
with whom Delaney conferred at the time,
and of several other persons with whom ne,
in his pride at
Supposed Success Of His Crime,
detailed the whole facts substant TALLY as
have given them" Here are inserted let
ters and kilograms Of Delaney and others
and Col. Mcclure then adds: The
facts and documents proving tue
base conceit and greed OF Condor
are now in the possession OF the
Land League of Pennsylvania ot us Or
ganizatiun tribunals have no knowledge,
but assume that the administration OF
Justice 10 mercensry traitors ana hypecrltes
is among its attributes Of authority. The
evidence have presented will be sustained
in any court or before any tribunal where
Justice asserts her majesty, and l leave 1t
at present for the Land League members
who have been insulted, and whose orgaui'
cation has been brought to unmerited re.
proach, to decide whether Condor shall
hencefortn have fellowship with honest
Irishmen of any organization. The PROOF
is at band; what will the Land League oil
Pennsylvania do with the shameless oc'
trayer of Irish voters and Of Irish integri'
typ
