VI AIohNa hf na1 muuicnte ii to my client, as 1t IS my duty to do. He went back; he went to Col. Klng's office; whether he had any. thing to say to the Colonel or not do not know, but his letter Is as follows:
 TUcsoS. A. T., Oct. f 1888.
 H. R. JEFFoRDs, EsQ.
 DEAR SIR--In reply to your inquiry as to what my connection with the De. gotiations in the Paul-ShRw compro- mise were, will state:
 That shortly after the decision ot the court granting new trial ID the caser and while Mir. Paul was endeayorlng to put up q bond on his appeal. NIT. Cam efon II. King told me might circulate among my friends snd inform them that a proposition for a compromise would be considered by him. l accordingly called upon the attorneys Tor MT. Paul and told them that l thought com promise of the case could be elected, and told them that I came from Mir. King. They gave noe no encourage ment whatever. then reported to NIT. King and told him 1 had accomplished nothing. He then told me that mig ht suggest the following proposition to them. namely: Thst Paul should give up the office to Shaw, and that Shaw would allow Paul one thousand dollars out uf the salary for the second quarter, and thst all further proceedings on both sides should be stopped.
 | communicated this proposition io Mir. Paul and to his attorneys. They gave me no answer to the proposition and let the matter drop and had no;h- s- E..- Tr. 6k
 These transactions all occurred before up by Mir. Panl.
 Respectfully yours,
 E. l.. WETMoKE.
 Afterwards there WAS some converse ton between Col. King and Judge Campbell as 10 s settlement of the case. when they were ID Graham county on business. Judge Campbell says he don't know, and regards It of little moment, which of them brought fl up, as a settle men, had been talked oi before by Wet more. Ih-n some one said that Mir R.cAsohnEh h .I made the first proppsI. tion. on ueh4i; If Mir. Paul, and 1 took occcasiou iu a-S Sir. Rickabaugh Hb'ut IL. lie said, Le did tell MT. Shaw, that he did think It would be better for both 10 settle it Now, WAS that before pr after the ino:ey had been pui up for the bouLy" b. r-pleG, Tt was after" NIT. Neimor- cume to us, I remember be- fore the boLd was up. l then asked Mir. RlckAbaugh were "you armed with any authority from MT. Paul to propose acct t!ement?' he said. No, l thought li was better to settle 1T. am fri, nj oi both parties" I undertake 10 say that no man can put his hand ou any propusi- ton made " Mr. Paul, or Mr PauIs attorneys or either of them conveying, speaking of. or locking to settlement of the Paul Shaw case until after NIT. Wetmore came with his proposition to Judge Haynes, Judge Campbell, myself and Robert H. Paul re,pecliv g. l never believed 1t made aIy diil -uce which of Us made the proposition. l sl- ways believed lawyers and lItigants had a right to settle their eases and settle them Gs they pleased. that after they had joined together in signing a settlement, a compromise, and there was any gui.t or moral turpItude Tn 1t, that the wrong was in the cunsummation of lt and nOi ID the proposal: and have always be- iIeved that tine man who permitted him- self to be lead into committing q murder was just as guilty a- the person ThO had suggested II. l never claimed nor do ] now think ws have any right to plume ourselves over tbe other 8iie ID the m .t- ter ot thIs settlement, although I under stood it then, and understand Is now, and a~ l believe the people understand It. IL came first from th-m; and II Ii wRs wrong. We are all equally guilty. IT that he so why rake up tue eEoers Of di-seusion, or drag ih!s carcass buck be fore the people to engendeT Iatred and Ill-will. What principle WI!l be sub served: They say the purity Of the bal lot will be yIndIcatcd. The gentleman stands here and says tho republican, party is more wrong m regard to oiTsns.E against the bAlloi-box than the demo crati. party; when be should know that every wrong which has sprung up around the ballot box has come from the democratic party. In lSiG, ID New York and Louisiana they counted out Henry Clay. there IS DO doub. about It
 About tlis time or little prior t. this time they invented the >yslem Of issueiug fraudulent naturalization pa pers to foreigners who had just landed. They have tO An-wer too for the fraudu- lent tissue payer ballots and the forged election returns of Chicago, CiLcinnati and South Carolina; they have been the great originators and inventors of every fraud against the elective franchise. l did not seek lhis contest. end 1 did not want it, and rcw think it was unbe coming and IS uabecomIng in the gen tleman or myself, lawyers who helped try the case, 10 discuss this question further. Applause Now have the de nocracy of Pima county been entirely SuIl,less? Is TaDGue Verde SO fair and sweet that ve must fold our arms about it as the lover would fold his arms about his earliest sweetheart? Or is t reekiog and redolent with the uusavOry smell oi false election returns. which neither one Of the judges who tried this case would take as evidence? On Tanll Verdel Tsnqle Verde it is Like the vase in which roses have once
 been distilled: You may break. you may shaiter. the vase |
 if you wiIl. But the scent of the roses will cling round |
 it still. | And i1 this case they are DO. Tery .wee,. And where is San Simon? meek | and hsly San Simon. which produced | rom the ballot box at one election. ! number of voters about thirty times | greater than the number of all the voters Tho had been m the neighborhood for | hirty years. Why.
 t leaves A name. at which the world
 grows pale. To point a moral or st'lorn a tale.
  And, it seems 10 me, the moral. If the ale IS not sufficient. Ough; to keep the treat democratic party quiet ID this question. Neither of the judges who ried the case took that return from Tan Iue Verde. Outside Of the cerIIfcnte of lection the thing stands a tie, by the 'osrd of supervlsors. DO one had ma orlty, the democrats lost seven votes n 'anque Verde which they did not and ould not prove, and thai left the mat CT tle. 1 do not like to say these hings; l like s great msny democrats: To not like the principles of the party ut l can look around this audience aDd ee many Of my friends who would b. lmost perfect, they could not be i'm roved upon, If they were not dem crats. en Col. King. rampant Bs he is after he office of district attorney, would be bus for bis pehtics. n
