nENAREsr,s ATTEMPT AT DENIAL.

The denial published yesterday by Assemblyman
Frank P Demarest Of the truth Of all the charges
against him is looked upon by most Rockand County
neopIe as huge "bluf" intended to dazzle the eyes
NJ the Grand Jury which meets at New-City on
wednesday TO consider his connection with The Union
e,earnhoat COMPANY cases. The mortgage he
o,ors 20 is not the one mentioned in the New-forh
newspapers but is evidently another which he feels
called upon to explain. His lame explanation OF
affairs in the storms estate certainly does not satisfy
the sixteen anxious heirs, and no one admits That ne
can dismiss thus all the serious charges by wave
OF his hand
Nvaek was startled yesterday by rumor that. the
Assemblvman had committed suicide. and for a time
the apparent mystery surrounding the report led many
IN believe the story. Demarest'S newspaper, IHc
Tvack Democrat" TINS week pOurs torrent OF aDuse
on the newspaper sp0ndens and reporters WIN
have dared to tell the truth about the Ltue p1a't.
Thousands of people, however, eagerly ashlng ZOE
