ISDrANA.-Up 10 to-day, despite
charges and counter charges. elimination
and recriminatioD, there has been no
compe tent evidence or fraudulent intent
brought against either party. But now
there appears circular over the sigma.
ture of W. w. Dudley, which seems to

publicans contemplate the wholesale pur-
chase Of doubtful or salesble votes The
circular virtually discloses this object in
so many words. Ii advises that the
names of all doubtful voters be placed in
the hands Of reliable men--ihat five
'doubtfuls" be assigned to each-and
that money will be furnished by the
Republican State Central Committee to
see that these votes are cast for Harrison
and Morton.

dents dismissal OF Lord Sackyille, has

the afternoon there was long conference
between Chairman Huston, Attorney
General MicheDer, Col John c. New,
Editor Halford and other party leaders
