said that If the senate should seat Cor
bett II would overthrow the long iIRe OF

tho doors to conspiracy and fraud. the

made that Senator Mitchell. the caucus

Of republicans whom he would eheerfulIy

to his certain knowledge ex-senator

by the senate II would be within the pow
er OF the II elected members OF the Ore

believe the senate would approve BY its
action the conference OF such authority
upon a small majority.
