Hahn's Memorandum.

The following is the memorandum re-
ferred to in the testimony:
Conversation held between Leopold
Hahn and James Fisher in regard to
the postmaster which Mr.. Dietrich will
cause to appoint, or for sale as you
might call it, TO the highest bidder.
Here is Dietrich's proposal to Fisher:
'First-tO pay for the new furniture
IN, the new room called the Dietrich
building, which viii cost about $1,000 or
$500.
'Second-TO pay for all coal during
the four years for heating such a room.
also pay for the janitOr's work. which
will amount 70 about -. Take this
of the salary of the postmaster and
give it to Dietrich. Beside this, the
government viii pay Dietrich S1,S0o
per year rent for furnishing and heat
ing the said Dietrich building
What kind of a senator have the
people got in Nebraska? Mr.. Adam
Breed is willing to sacrifice himself as
postmaster and take the Office for $1,S00
per year and pay Dietrich 500 per year
out Of his salary of 81, 500 for the term
of four years. This is what took place
at Fishers bakery in the hall leading
TO the bake shop at the hour between
500 a. m. and $3.50 a. m. This is what
Jacob Fisher told me, so help me God.
Every word of this is the truth. the
whole truth. so help me God. This 231
day of April, 1901.

Mr.. PoPe's Testimony.

It being understood that Mr. Pope' :
testimony would be OF hearsay charac-
ter the committee decided to admit it,
while holding that IL was not regular.
Mr. Hoar said that this conclusion had
been al the more easily reached be-
cause of Mr.. Dietrich's willingness 10
admit everything. Pope said that he
had a conversation with Hahn on the
train between Lincoln and Hastings
Hahn had asked him whether a note
given for the purpose of securing an
appointment could be defaulted and he
had answered in the affirmative He
said at the same time Hahn had told
him that Fisher had agreed to pay the
$500 To Dietrich for the Office and
wanted to know if ne gave a note for
that sum he could avoid paying il. On
discrimination the witness said that
Hahn had not shown any great feeling,
but that, knowing there had not been
good feeling between Hahn and Diet
rich he had supposed the condition Of
affairs had grown out Of that circum-'
stance. He had not given serious con-
sideratiOn to the matter and had not
thought of il as seriously rejecting
upon the character of Senator Dietrich.
Mr.. Pope said he had been the Repub-
lican candidate in the Hastings dis
trict for congress and although defeat
ed. Senator Dietrich had referred sew
eral postoffice nominations to him and
there had been no pecuniary consider
alton in any of these cases.
At the conclusion ST Mr.. Popes testi-
mony the committee took a recess.

that Fisher had told him that Dietrich

that Breed had told him the story OF

Bryan Declines to Visit Ohio

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Oct. civilian j.
Bryan, in a letter to Chairman Harvey
G. CARRIER, Of the Democratic state
committee, declining to visit Ohio dur
ing the present campaign, says: -
while Judge Parker announces him
self as unqualifiedly in favor of the
gold standard, he is no more objection
able upon this question than President
Roosevelt, he does stand for many
things in which the silver Democrats
are interested. The election of Parker
and Davis would remove from the
arena of politics the questions which
stand in the way of the consideration
of economic questions and for this rea-
son believe that the Democrat. who
supported the ticket in 1896 and 1909
should interest himself in the success
of the ticket this year. When the cleo
ton is over, I want to renew the fight
for economic reform and l believe that
We will be in better position to do this
with Judge Parker elected than with
Roosevelt at the head of the nation.
1t is also important to secure congress,
for, without the house of represent
atives, the president could not carry
out his policies"
