WSsnISGToN, March 2.--Suppiementing
the Kansas dispatches about alleged at
temps at bribery in the election of United
States Senator from that state, Mr.. Bur.
gard, a member of the lower house of the
Kansas Legislature from Wyandotte
county, who is in this city, has given to
Senator Martin circumstantial account
of the efforts made to control his action by
corrupt measures.
He says proposition was made to him
to stay away from the Populist crowd and
to get two others to do so, for $500, and
that he was given TO understand the money
would come from Mr.. Watson, who had
come down from Lawrence, wanted to be
Senator, and was said To have brought a
barrel of money. Everybody was trying
to get his shovel in ON Watson. Mr.,
Burgard continues his story as follows:
ITO tell the Gods truth, / made up my
mind 10 this effect i know you are try
ing 10 rob Watson, so will turn in and
rob YOU That's what | thought. So
told this man that for $500 ! and two
more whom ! mentioned would stay away
and not vote at all. ! Informed him that
| wanted 5000 for myself and would
divide the So, 500 between my two assO-
ciatcs. He did not care what division
made and asked who should hold the
money. Now, of course intended to stay
inside and vote for Martin right along and
so did the other two. All that we aimed
at was to get the 81, 500 in our pockets and
let the other crowd whistle.
Il told him he must give the cash to me,
but he said that some one must be agreed
upon to hold it until after the vote
lie then narrated how he fixed with
Matthews, the stakeholder, 10 bolt when
he got the stakes, but says the other SIDE
declined to entrlist him with the money.
He adds. Just before senatorial vote the
lobbyist came over 10 the House of Repre-
sentatiyes and called me out. Hesaid that
he had the s., 500 in his pocket. told him
to turn it over and | and my two men
would leave right there. OF course we
would not have done SO, and were bound
to stay and vote for Martin. But the man
refused TO give up. The money is in my
pockets. lie said. and if your partners
will walk over to the hotel right now, be-
| fore they vote, you can have it, would
