makes this assertion his sole reason for

The charge of "Judge" Turner is here
met and feariessly contradicted By Senator
Allen, against whom il is directed. and
the majority Of the Republicans OF this
state. speaking through two-thirds of the
Republicans Of the Legislature, expressed
their contempt for Judge" Turner's
charges by casting yesterday ffty-one
votes for Senator Allen. The charge made
by "Judge" Turner is absurd, transpar-
emily false. There 10 not an intelligent
man in the state that does not know that
the influence OF the Northern Pacific va.

both within and without the legislature,
are doing their best to prevent his election
by the legislature. 1t is notorious that
influences in Tscoms that were unsuccess-
fully exerted 10 beat the Republican state
ticket.and prevent the election OF an Allen

Every honest. intelligent supporter Of
Senator Allen knows that the charge of
Judge" Turner is false: that exactly the
reverse is the fact; that the Northern Pa

charge Senator Allen has returned a.
unqualified denial and has pointed on.
