squandered large sums of money in cor
rupting voters, is utterly without founda-
ton in fact. I did not pay, promise,
lay out or expend a single cent nor even
make a single speech. My overwhelm-

mass of electors who honored me with
their suffrages. not one was influenced by
any motive but a yearning for the gen.
eral good. G. c. CLEMENS
