A DENIAL THAT THERE is ANY
BARGAIN WITH CAMERON.

form.
Blaine to Take the Stump in Pennsylvania



addressed a letter to Williams, Chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, of which
the following are the principal points: On
April IS last l was notified by you officially,
in the presence Of the committee, that my
examination be temporarily suspended,
with an intimation Of recall, which con-
nected with the instructions given me dur
ing the progress of my former examina-
ton, with reference to the production, on
my return from New York, Of sundry doc
uments and correspondence, and with a
general demand then pending for an omni-
bus disclosure. Directly thereafter James
G. Blaine, a volunteer witness, was heard
for several days, and later Senator Blair.
Blaine occupied the attention Of the COM
mittee and devoted a considerable portion
of his address to the creation of a cloud of
apparent issues, all new, and supported by
prima facie evidence intended to discredit
me as a witness, and to destroy the force
of such testimony as l had already given.
Mr.. Blaine's recollection differed from
mine on a point which Blaine, and his
friends deem important, and the whole OF
Blaine's testimony, so far as it tends to
contradict and discredit mine, was grossly
incompetent, and much of it irrelevant as
well. By permission of the committee 1t
has gone into official record, and has gone
out into the country as proper evidence,
and infinite wrong has been done in conse-
quence, not only to me personally, but to
the very large interests l represent. The
letter says: That in obedience to q sub
pena and prior instructions he presented
hipnso1f OF tho anpOipfp1 hnur at the nlQnA
appointed, and was asked whether he was
now prepared to comply literally with the
demand for information, and that he had
no choice but to answe in the negative.
The letter continues: / was then per-
emptorily dismissed, being asked no other
questions, and being allowed to make no
statement and no explanation. l now beg
to inform the committee through you that
| am prepared, and have been at all times,
to supply in effect, although l cannot lit
orally give, all the evidence called for. l
further state that this evidence includes
an important letter from the President on
newly discovered correspondence with the
official and unofficial representatives of
Peru and the Department OF State, through
my counsel. This documentary evidence,
with more which I need not supply, ena-
bles me to absolutely dispose of every i'm
putation upon my veracity. In conse-
quence of the testimony which has been
put into record since 1 was last heard, ]
respectfully submit that in the premises
my personal right is assailed. A witness
is entitled to consideration. In answering
Blaine, and correcting Senator Blair, ]
shall confne myself within the same limits
as if in q court Of judiciary.

sUNBURY pa, May 1s.-The I~ndepend.
ent Republicans yesterday elected Charles
S. Wolfe a delegate to the State Conven-

the recent conference Of the Independents
and regulars, and fatty denied any bar
gain with Cameron. He concluded as fol-
lows: 81 deprecate Democratic ascend

Washington special says: The most inter-
