The Complimentary Vote for senator.

Noblesville Republican, Ledger.
There are quite number of distinguished
Republicans in the State whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the Repub-
lican caucus nomination for United States sena-
tor. 1t is, of course. simply matter of dis
tinction, but a desirable recognition from the
Republican members of the General Assembly
We hope to see this honor fall on Hon. Will
Cumback, q gentleman favorably known
to every Republican in the Common
wealth. He has made a. thorough
canvass of the State dozen or more times. He
has been disappointed in some of his aspirations,
but he never sulked in his tent Every inch Of
him is Republican. Heisa scholarly gentleman,
a man whose political and private life isa source
of pride to every man who values honor and
teens pure private life. Mr.. Cumback de-
serves this recognition. He is worthy of it He
merits IL because of his unsefsh and persistent
adherence to Republican principles We hope
our representative and senator will work and
vote for Will Cumback; by so doing they will
truly represent their constituency

A ralk with tha snholarlv Le.ate.

TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. ia reporter for the
Associated Press called on James F. Legate, at
his hotel this afternoon, to ask what he had to
say concerning the letter to j. S. Clarkson, pub
lished in st. Louis this morning, purporting to
have been written by him to Clarkson during
the late presidential campaign. Mr.. Legate re-
piled, after several minutes, as follows:
1.-The Ciarkson letter never wrote-that is,
never wrote letter to Clarkson of that date.
| wrote Mr. Clarkson letter, part Of which is
in the letter published this morning. but he
omits to state what said, and makes me say
what | never stated.
Mr. Legate here grew excited, and declared
that ClarksoG had suppressed the names OF every
other man to that transaction but his.
He makes talk: continued Legate, 'of
pledges made TO ST. John when they We're
pleages made TO other parties. Every page of
that letter to CarksOn was marked confidential,
and he has violated every principle of honesty
in distortng the letter / did send him.
was acting as the agent and doing the
wishes of Mr. Clarkson a member of the pa
tional committee and those with whom he was
associated in Ohio, in all that WAS done. With
reference to the Kerens note, it is so completely
changed from what did say that it amounts to
an open forgery. Within a short time
intend to make full statement of the
whole matter. so far as l know it, then let those
kick hardest who are hurt most. But say now
that, so far st. John is concerned, in all those
transactions, the Virgin Mary is not purer than
he"
The reporter asked Mr. Legate to make a state
ment relative to what portions of Carkson's let
ter were as written, bat he declined, and would
say nothing more
MR. CLARKsoN RESPONDS.
Dies MONIES, JAN BIN reply to the inter
view with Legate of Topeka Kan, of this
date, j. S. Clarkson says: 1.-The let
ter tren Legate to me was dated
Oct. %, and was given by me in the Globe
Democrat interview exactly as he wrote it, with
not word or letter changed or left
out. The original / still have, and
anyp of Mr. Legates friends may see if. Every
word of it is inshis handwriting, and map of it
will be printed, if Legate desires it. I
gave no other name but Legate's as an
agent of St John because the Saint had no other
huckster of whom | knew. Legate's assertion
that he was the agent of the Republican national
committee is pure nonsense and fiction. He
was never else than st. Johns agent
Neither that letter of Oct. &c.
nor any other of Legates communications to me
have the least trace of being marked
confidential, and if they did, when st.
John demanded all the facts to be
made public, that gave me authority to priut
the letters of his agent Legates letter
to Kerens was also printed just as
Legate wrote-it. I4egates refusal TO give to the
Associated Press reporter his own version of his
Goth of October letter was virtual confession
that the printed letter was right"
