Senator-elect Charles N. FELTON, testi-
fed this evening that he had not spent
dollar in his canvass, nor had he au-
thorized anybody to do 80. The first he
heard OF the affair was when he was
informed by some young man that it was
rumored that there was considerable

reply was that it was all rot, and as soon

a letter and had it sent to Attorney Gen

he was in favor of witness rather than
Estee, for the reason that he was antag-

G. H. Dibble was examined and asked
if the writing on the scraps of paper
