and present utterances. Not having
Adams pamphlet at hand, be had been
obliged 70 rely upon what had been re-
ported TO be a correct copy OF II IN
a newspaper. and he had used 1t,
not dreaming that there was anything
in 1t that could not be properly attri-
ated to Mr.. Adams. He would make
the correction. but he wanted to call
attention to the precise injury which
Mr. Adams fancied he had sustained at
his hands. In part of the quotation
which was conceded to be correct, the
sentiment and denunciation was in
exact accordance with that entire har-
mony with that party which had been
Improperly attributed TO Mr..
Adams. He could not concede
that that gentleman had suffered
injuries at his hands. There were other
thingsSn his speech to which Adams
could address himself. and rcould COM
plain about, if they were not rue, The
logical result of the complaint Mr..
Adams had made was that he had no
denial TO make Of the charges made.
Mr. Long then took up the charges in
the published speAh, and denied them
in detail. The first charge was that
Charles Francis Adams and his Co
directors had criminaily violated the
law in issuing IS 900 600 per cent. col
lateral trust bonds in 1888 That
transaction had taken place before
Adams had even become a director.
The second charge was that Adams
and the directors had violated the law
in paying u dividend in 1888 and 1854,
in the teeth OF the existence of float
ing debt of $4,000 600. 1t wss nor a
violation o. law 10 pay dividend when
there was floating debt The third
charge was that Adams and directors
had violated the law in placing the en-
dOrsement OF the Union Pacific on shout
SIS, 900 900 bonds of the Oregon Short
Line Company. Tat was perfectly
legitimate, and had occurred three
wears before Adams connection with
the company. The fourth charge was
tnat Adams and the directors had
deliberately defrauded assets belonging
to government lien by anticipating the
payment of the third mortgage bonds
The answer to that was there were no
third mortgage bonds at all.
