Register, in answer 10 direct inquiry as to
whether or not Mr.. st. John offered to with
draw for o money consideration from the
Presidential contest, says: 40 my knowl.

in the Ksnsas phrsse) to the help OF the Re-
publicans. he was asked, in order to prove
the sincerity OF his offer, to withdraw from
Ohio the last week before the October cleo

plea, which he said he would give, Of getting
q sore throat, and, with the friend have
mentioned, went first to Pittsburg, next to
Philadelphia, and finally to New York,
where he hoped to meet some one ON the
part Of the Republican National Committee
who would be ready to make the deal and
pay the cash"
Mr.. Clarkson says It was done Through q
friend" Now what Is the use of this SUBJ
terfuge2 Mr.. St john has positively denied
the charge. Why does Mr.. Clarkson not

seriously backed up. Who was this friend2
How was the money to be paid2 By draft
or check or spot cash? Mr.. Clarkson takes
care not to involve any Of the spotles ~
characters of the National Republican Com
mittee. On this point he says: II may add
that neither the National COMMITTEES nor
any one acting for It ever made IN overture
or proposition OF any kind to St Jehn. All
that 10 did was to listen to and discuss the
overtures and proportions made TO 1t

Mr.. Clarkson says that st. John made q
demand for $40, 900, Through bis friend" on

tinues, viii be given whenever Mr.. 81 John
persuades the friend TO that end.
But IL Mr.. Cisrkson knows his name, why
does no not give it2 Surely the ''frlend"
would not consent that bis name should be
held back whom he was betraying st. johns
confidence. The ''ir;epd" ceases when he
turns himself into traitor, and he makes
up his mind to stand the consequences of his
betrayal. Judas Iscariot faced the oonse-
quences OF his treason without very much
delay. The "friend" OF st. John can not
expect the story 20 be believed unless be
