GROSYENOR REPLIES
TO THE CHARGES MADE AGAINST
NIX. m'ISIsLEY.


Washington, March 9.-Congressman
Grosyenor OF Ohio replied TO charges
made by Senator Chandler Of New
Hampshire, regarding the methods of
conducting the Mckinley campaign.
Senator Chambers charges We're em-
bodied in an interview printed in the
Washington Post. Among other things
he said;
Il expect TO hear from Mr.. Mckinley
without delay In a public utterance.
II he does not speak directly or author
itatlvely through some reliable repre-
sentative the belief will gain ground
that he has placed himself In the hands
of managers who are seeking to noml-
nate him by the lavish use Of money,
and who Will own him and make mer-
chandise OF him IL he Is elected"
Congressman Grosyenor says In re-
ply:
1T Is to be greatly regretted that a
condition Of things should have arisen
in the presidential compalgn to shock
the sCnslbllities of Senator Chandler.
81 cannot speak with absolute full
knowledge upon the subject matter of
his charges, but will undertake to say
that In my opinion there Is absolutely
no substantial foundation for them,
and II would be wise for Senator Chand-
Ter and every other Republican 10 hesl-
tlate and require full proof before in
rumor fills the air in all election con-
tests and which fall with no sight
ficance upon the minds OF the people,
who have been SO often beEuled by
them. II must be borne in mind that
nearly all prominent American states
men and politicians have been from
time TO time slandered and scandalized.
and because some one has escaped the
'slings and arrows OF personal detrac-
tion and the assignment OF unworthy
motives, 1t II no reason why he should
accept as truth the assaults made upon
others.
Now, coming to treat the matter
seriously for moment, Is there any
man In tho United States old enough to
vote and intelligent enough to form
an opinion as TO whom ho wants to
vote for, who does not know that in n
political campaign for tho presidency
there must be some expenditure OF
money, and when the candidate has no
money OF his own, II IL not n crime,
| trow, to permit HIS friends TO nay
their own expenses In the necessary
work OF the cnmpaign. Why not be
honest and ingenuous? When n man
begins to play the hypucrite the peo-
pie understand II perfectly.
There are necessary expenses tn
