70 The Edifor oftbe Dispatch :
As you published Mahone's article ac-
cuslDg Colonel Sims and myself of hay-
ing used fraudulent credentials as dole
gates to the late Chicago Convention
think | have a right to ask you to pub
lish my emphatic denial, with the atli-
davits Of the gentlemen who signed our
credentials. As the matter viii soon
come for trial before the proper tribunal
| care not to characterize Mr. Ma
homes article further than to say
that it is, too, entirely false and
libellous, and as to Mahoncs further
charges published in the ,Ntafc R,pubh-
c0N That no one saw or heard of sims s.
call for 4 convention, / can only say 900
were sent ont in the district.
As 20 the final charge thai the conyen-
tion was held after Mahcnc's state Con
yention, AID only foar persons We're
present, pronounce 1t false.
The ailidayts show it was held May
18th, and affirm that We had more dele
gates present IN person or by proxy than
Malone had at the District Petersburg
Convention. Yours truly,
WINUELD SCOTT.
