h. Berkey paid TO him on account OF State taxes.
and fifteen hundred dollars paid in as the amount

d. E. CALLAHAN.
Considerable surprise was manifested by all
when the receipt was produced.
Mr.. REUTER- (springing exc;tedly to his feet
and advancing toward Mr.. Berkey) demanded
why this receipt had not been produced be-
fore. am no coward, and I will die right
here in this room before will allow you to
call me one."
MIR. Bsrkey (advancing)-I wanted an ex.
preston of opinion.
MIR. Routier (sarcastically) We'll, guess
you have gos all the expression of opinion you
wanted:
MIR. Holl-Why did you not state what
you do now In regard to this money when
you hrst addressed. the meeting!
MIR, JOhnsou-I am very sorrv Mr. Rarkav
became so heated and has used the language
ne has, which certainly. under the circum-
stances, was so entirely uncalled for. Mr..
Berkey knows that l am neither political
nor any other kind of q coward.
MIR. Berkey-Ihe State Treasurer don't
receive money subject to the order of the
Superior Court. L have paid money into the
treasury and had to withdraw it again, in the
past. L have let this account run because l
did not want or think it necessary to take
trip to San Francisco every tire few hun
dred dollars was paid into my hands.
Mr. johnson latter taking and reading the
receipt think now as did before. don't
think 1t night and proper that reporters
should be here. L don't know why they are
here, or who invited them. This matter
should be talked over In friendly msnner,
and Is not intended for publication. MIR.

exonerate him in the least. As to the re-
porIefs, am gao tney are here. l want

Mr.. Holl-The facts of the case show Mr.
Berkey to be a felon, and Iiwant to saw to him
that am a political coward so far as going
into a canvass with him on the ticket is con.
cerned. l am not brave enough to try to
stem the current of political eoptempt his
action in the matter would force ma tn en-.
counter.
Mr.. Hancock-Was sorry that Mr.. Berkey
had not made the latter statement and ex.
hibited the receipt at the first of the meeting.
ti e :nousns tnere was time enough before
if this was done no man would be stronger On
the ticket than Mr.. Bsrkey.
