unjust criticism concerning the works
have been proven false, and they are

order to induce other enterprises to come,
several prominent business men have
agreed to guarantee a fund OF SO 900, to
be offered in bonuses. This step has

to Let tho People Judge.

New CAsrLE, Pa, June 13.-The pub
lished reports concerning this Twenty.
fifth Congressional district nomination
scandal caused intense excitement In
New Castle. The trouble between Law.
renco and Beaver counties originated
two years ago during tho nominating
convention for Congress. Jackson, Of
Lawrence; Townsend, OF Beaver; Nc.
Dowell, OF Mercer, and Black, OF Butler,
werethe candidatel. Butler and Beaver
at that time seesawed their fifteen votes
each. o. the thirty.eighth ballot Cover,
a Lawrence county delegate, jumped his
candidate and voted for Townsend, thus
giving that gentleman the nomination.
1t was openly charged at that time that
Cover had been bought by Townsend,
but Cover In an affidavit said he had re-.
ceived no money for iiis vote. Colonel
jackson, at that time, determined 10 de.
feat Townsend in 1890. even il he had to
sacrifice bis own chances for going to
Congress. This he did, for if Mcdowell
had not been nominated on tho ballot
he was Jackson would have been on the
next. At the time Lawrence county
WAS euchered out OF her Congressman
there was some talk, but 1t was looked
upon as cell and buy affair and that
was all there was said about it. The
first part OF the past week United States
Marshall ]. r. Harris, OF Beaver county,
was in the city. He called on ]. j.
Dean (wbolesale grocer) and accused |
him Of buying Beaver delegates, stating
that he could prove his assertions in |
court. This Dean denied and hot words
passed between the two men, Mr.. Dean
defying the marshall to produce his
proof. He then attacked W. D. Wallace
aud was met with warm denial.
WALLACE WON'T DENY 1T.
William D. Wallace, the attorney who
is accused OF paying the money to Down.
ing, Late aud ShatIer, ofthe Beaver dele.
cation, WAS seen by an Associated Press
correspondent this morning. He abso.
lutely refused to be interviewed regard.

and would neither deny nor affirm. He
said: "You can say this: Mr. Quay, the
eader OF the Republican party, has es.
Iabiished the precedent OF answering
