P. Sunless Ingalls, gets some alliance votes
ne Will 20 IN VIII SlALH-LNO VINO Will vote Tor
him a reasonable number Of times, but as soon
as their instructions are completed they will
leave him.
Some of the alliance candidates NAV expect
to get some Of the republicans when they leave
Ingalls, That would keep all of them in the
field. Codding thought be could get the re-
publican vote when ingalls, was out of the way.
OF course. an alliance caucus for t at purpose
would name the man, and thus end IL. T.
HOW THE PAPER GOT THE LETTER.
This letter came to McGrath's Office with
other correspondence, aud was opened by
hi confidential clerk. who turned it over to
Chairman Chase of the alia lce legislative
committee. Copies were made Of the letter
and the original was turned over
to McGrath. The alliance lead
ers then asked McGrath to give
the letter to the public and clear himself of
any suspicion which might attach to the
propositions contained in it. He refused to
give the letter to Chairman Chase for pub
LEGATION, knowing nothing of the copies
having been made of it. Chairman Chase
then turned over his copy of the letter to
the editor of the Advocate
THE EDITORS COMMENT.
Accompanying the publication Of the
letter is the following comment by the
editor, DIR. McLallin:
The following letter which has fallen into our
hands Will explain itself. In giving II to the
public we believe we are performing a sacred
duty. The interests at stake are too great to
be sacrificed 60 any personal consideration.
We regret the position ia which the
publication OF the letter places the
president of our state alliance and member
of the executive board tCoddinkl. We leave
them TO make such personal explanation as they
may have T. make. The schemes that are un-
folded in this interesting document are worthy
of some CO nsideration at this time. We ex-
pect this publication to lead to other develop
ments which we shall give TO our readers as the
plot unfolds.
M'GRATR's STATEMENT.
Mr.. McGrath wa seen by reporter this
afternoon. He said the alliance officers
were at liberty to inspect all his let ers,
both those received aad dispatc led by him.
He had nothing to conceal from them. The
letter printed by the Advocate was an
exact copy of one received by him. He had
no further statement to make to the public
beyond this He could not prevent people
from writing to him. Other officers of the
alliance declined to be interviewed concern
ing the letter.
