rived mere at O'Clock yesterday morn
ing. The following interesting cOrre-
SpOh9ence has been going on for some
Gays between Judge HOadIy and Cover
nor Foster in regard to the Iatter's
charge that the former had cOrruptIy
spent $4,000 to secure his nomination..
Judge H0adly, who has Governor Foster
completely cOrnered, declined to give
Gne correspondence to the press until
roster had chance to respond to his
last communication. Foster is i'm
mensely chagrined to find himself dTiy-
en- into hole in this matter, and the
correspondence puts him not OnIy in a
rluleulous' but an undignified light.
HOADLY TO FOSTER.
CINCINNATI, July 23.
Hon. Charles Foster. Columbus:
Is 1t tue, as reported in Yesterdays
CINCINNATI papers, that you said | ad-
mltted that bought the nomination of
the Democratic party, etc.? | demand
the authority for this statement, and de-
nOunce 1t as false in whole OF in part.
IL ls not the fact, and no such admis-
sion was ever made. Answer.
GEORGE HoADLY.
On the same day Judge HOadly wrote
the Governor as follows: ~ -
SIR sent you telegram this MORN
ing to which | expect reply upon yOur
return to Columbus. Meanwhile / in
close you from the Commercials Gazette
OF yesterday, copy Of the interview of
winch made inquiry in my telegram,
and have marked the passage which is
of special interest to myself / do not
assume, until hear from you, that this
interview fairly represents YOU. [ ONLY
say to you that the whole statement is
false from beginning to end, and am
entitled to know from whom ii emanst-
ed, and upon whose authority it is bas-
ed. Your opinions you have right to
hold, and have no right to complain of
them, no matter how Extensively they
may be expressed; but the entire state
ment embraced within pencil marks is
as wicked falsehOOd as was ever stated
In print, the only grains of truth in it
being that your friend Alex. C. Sands Is
also my friend, and that David r. Paige
was warm supporter of my nOmina-
ton for Governor, and was undoubtedly
efficient in procuring me the nomina-
tiOn, as his influence with those who
know him Is most deserVedly great.
Awaiting your reply by telegraph or let
ter, am, Very respectfully yours,
GEORGE HoADLY.
FOSTER TO HoADLY.
On his return from Washington, Gov
ernOr Foster replied to the telegram of
COLUMBUS, o., July %.
Hon. George Hoady. Cincinnati, o.:
returned this evening and have Just
read your dispatch of this date. If the
interviewer had made me say it ia al
legged Judge HOadly has admitted, &c,
would have been correctly reported so
far as the paragraph to which you refer
is concerned.
A gentleman, who says he had free
talk upon the subject with you, told me
you said to him your nomination cost
you $4,000, and that Mclean compelled
you to pay One-half of this sum during
the convention. cannot give his name
without his consent.
Now that the subject is up, permit
me TO add that it is notorious that the
delegation from Cincinnati to the Dem
ocratic convention openly sold their
votes TO candidates, and the price paid
therefor seems to be we'll understood.
Would 1t not be well for you to state
publicly what it cost you to get your
nomination, and whether it is true that
Mclean made you pay more than you
would have paid had he kept out of the
light, and II so, how much, so that this
point, relating to the cost of your nOmi-
nation, may be definitely understood?
The old Democracy, l am quite sure,
wOnld like to be informed. | suggest
GulS boCduSo yOuI vigorous bplGnebS seem
to apply to the amount stated, and not
to the fact that You did not pay any
thing. CHARLES FOSTER.
HOADLY TO FOSTER.
The last of the correspondence ia the
following telegram:
CINCINNATI, July "a.
Hon. Charles Foster Columbus:
| repeat, the statement is false i'm all
its parts. Now produce your informant
and let me confront him.
GEORGE HOADLY.
1t would seem this is to be cam
paign of lying and defamation on the
part of Foster 81 Co. They are desper-
ate, it is evident, and have commenced
their ISLANDERS early and audaciOusIy.
but must be met promptly with the
truth, as they shall be.
We are surprised at Governor Fosters
contemplate course in all this sIaGder-
GUS proceeding. He pretends some
scamp told him lie, which he retailed
and made public as true, and now FOs-
ter refuses to give the scamp's name.
This is very thin and very contemptible,
and only shows what scrub political
