WHAT ABoUr ST. JoHNs

Did He Offer to Withdraw From 0se Pres-
Dental Race FOR a Money Consideratisny
The following letter from J. 8. Clarkson,
editor of the Iowa Register and member o.
the republican national committee. was sent
by him TO the Chicago Tribune:
In reply to your direct inquiry IL knew
personally "a to whether or not John +. 81
John offei cd TO Withdraw as a candidate Tor
answer nbw only as the fact. without yet being
at liberty TO make public the details. To my
knowledge. he did have overtures made
through a friend from his own state. by which
he offered IL paid SIS 900 In cash. to Withdraw
as a candidate altogether or TO stay IN the
field and feather his speeches, as 1t was
put in The Kansan's phrase to the help Oh
order to prove the sincerity OF bis oner. 10
withdraw from Ohio the last week before
the October election In that state. he did this
under the plea, which he said he would give;
of getting n soro throat. and. with the friend
have mentioned, went first 10 Pfttsburg, next
to Philadelphia and H. ally to New York where
he hoped TO meet some one on the part or the
republican national committee who would be
ready to mat @ the deal and pay the cash. On
the 18th Of October, through his friend In
letter still in existence, he alleged Ohio to
have been carried by him in getting a sore
throat one week for the benefit OF the repub-
lican party. This letter and other facts OF de.
tail, which will convince any fair minded
person of the real character or ST. John and
show to the country what a thrifty Christian
he Is, Will be given TO the press whenever ne
shall ask and persuade his friend. who was
the medium of his Overtures, 10 give his con-
sent to have them made public. l may add
that neither the national committee or any
one acting for it, ever made an overture or
proposition of any kind to st. John. All that
1t did was to listen to and discuss the over
lures and propositions made to 1t through
the medium which he employed to reach 1t.
Several other mepbers of the nati' nal COM
mittee and some other gentlemen connected
with the Ohio campaign had frequent CONVEX
sations with this friend of st. John and are as
converSant with the facts and details OF 1t as
myself. They know that st. Johns friend
was in constant telegraphic and frequent per-
sOnal consulta ion with him, and that things
which were demanded of St. John as to his
movements i'm Ohio were pledged by that
friend and carried out by St. John I'm many
ways. Ample evidence was thus afforded us,
including the exchange of telegraphic CORE
spondence between them and shown to sew
eral persons. proving that this friend was act
ing with st. John aud under his authority.
One other person is in possession of more
written evidence than have.
