gresham Eldredge created a breeze
in the House this afternoon in pre-.
scnting the memorial of A. G. Max
well, Of Bay City, contesting the seat
Of Congressman Hatch. Nothing
had been said about the matter, and
its introduction was surprise. FL
dredge was proceeding to explain the
cause, with fast-increasing group of
the members standing before him,
when Calkins objected, and the men,
orial was ordered referred to the Com
mittee on Elections without further
reading or debate. Calkins after
wards said that his object was to pre-
vent an interminable discussion, as
Hatch wished to reply to Eldredge,
and Horn was also ready to take the
floor.
The memorial covers a good many
pages. 1t sets forth that bribery, cor
ruption, constraint and intimidation
were used by Hatch and his friends
to carry the election. A large sum
of money, supposedly $4,000, raised
by one Jay Hubbell by assessment on
government clerks and officials, to use
the language of the memorial, was
sent to be used for the Republican
ticket in the district. Gen. II. A.
Alger, of Detroit, specifically men,
toned as employing large numbers of
men in Iosco and Altoona counties, is
asserted to have appeared few days
previous to the election among his
workmen and by art and constraint
forced his workmen, some of whom
being Canadians were not citizens, TO
vote for Hatch. 1t is further assert
ed that fraudulent registration was
practiced in the lumber camps in GER
tain counties that the foremen of
the same were induced to prevail upon
all susceptible ones to vote for Hatch,
being paid therefore SO to So per vote,
and restrained from going to the cleo
ton all who would not vote for Hatch,
for which bulldozing as high as $50
was paid.
Hatch and his friends are charged |
with suborning Greenbackers and pro
noting the campaign of Jesse Miller
for Congress to draw off votes from
with corruptly trading with |
late Greenback candidate for
sheriff for Bay county, for the transfer
Of votes. Maxwell avows that fully |
1000 votes were purchased in the dis
trict, and relates q conversation alleg-
ed to have taken place by telephone
between Hatch and Charles Supe, a
of Bay City, relative to the
payment $50 for one hundred votes
and Hatch's promise of drawing his
check for the amount. Maxwell says
he was sick for long time after the
election, and all the facts have recent
y come to his knowledge.
After the memorial was filed Hatch
secured it for persual. He describes
t as being for the most part untruth-
'ul denies that Jay Hubbell ever
him with money or that any
corrupt methods were employed to
secure his election. He admits that
t cost him money, but pleads the adj
nitted fact that every candidate for
,ffice must bear the expenses Of the
canvass.
Eldredge says that although the
period for contest has long expired
according to law, still constitutional
light has no limit, and the House will
accord Maxwell an investigation.
The statute allows $4,000 for the costs
IF the investigation. IF Maxwell
makes out his case to the satisfaction
IF the House it may unseat Hatch,
but to fill the vacancy special cleo
ion will be required.
