islature regardless of expense. and was
srnected to be worked through the OK
scutive chamber by some equally effect
iye uroceas. The Governor was told he
eouid make that bill not only an instru-
,aeut by which to close the breach be-
tween himself and Conkling, but a door
by which his nomination would be made
essy, and his election sure He was
told that as soon rs his signature was
attached to the bill a large block of new
sock would be placed in the hands of
PARTIES named, and the Governor him
sek would not be forgotten III the DIS
tnbntion. And further, as the stock

lbs answer of the Governor to these
differing professions was given in ii

old friends Of his might have been rsn-
dssed a service, old breaches would
lave been healed, his renomination
would have been insured and hand

Tho Argus today takes up the matter
and claims that tho Journal only gives
part Of the story. It says Jay Gould
aad Cornell held conferences when the
Elevated Railway tax bill was intro
duced and the approval of the measure
was secured; that while tho bill WAS IN
the hands of the Governor he held. in
terviews in New York with Conkiing.
personally, and with Jay Gould through
an intermediary. Jay Gould understood
their that the blll would be signed. and
q prOmiie to sign Was afterwad made
conditional, and that finally the Goysl-
nor killed the bill in sour line ohJec-
tien by oolOrless veto. 1t charges fur
ther that the veto was tDe tardy and re-
Iuctant declination of a colossal bribe.
The gravity of the charges on botb
