HITCHCOCK MAKES REPLY
Tells of His Dealings with Joseph
BARLEY, Former Treasurer.
TAKES A SLAP AT METCALFE
Refers to His Former Editor I'm His
Answer by Calling Him Bartley's
Friend-TeIIs of His
Trials.

C. NJ Hitchcock, candidate for senator,
after returning from a speaking trip and
incubating over an answer to the charges
made By Edgar Howard OF Columbus,
makes the following explanation and re-
Joiner;
''First--I have read the alleged proof
furnished by Edgar Howard that l had
borrowed state funds and still owe the
state treasury money.
"Second-After reading 1t, I repeat my
previous declaration that never borrowed
state funds and do not owe the state
treasury any money.
"Third-when Edgar Howard wrote me
that wicked reports were being circulated
about me and offered under certain con-
ditions to come to my defense, l remem-
bered former attempts to blackmail me
by insinuations that had borrowed some
Of the money which BARLEY embezzled as
state treasurer.
"Fourth-Instead of opening negotiations
with Edgar Howard and arranging to Sc
cure his support, told him to start the
attack.
"Fifth-He does so by producing a mutt
lated Photographic copy of letter writ
ten by me to BARLEY May &c. 1895. in which
l say:
Referring to conversations with you l
beg to say that / would like to make out

an old note for 1900 by dividing It into
five short time notes with view to early
payment.
"Seventh-Those notes, as matter Of
fact, were paid, dollar for dollar.
"EiEth-The letter Howard reproduces
speaks OF the present note, which implies
necessarily that there was only one note
which remained unpaid on that date, /. e.,
May 60, 1895.
"Ninth-OrginAlly the loan had been for
a larger amount and was made at the
time that Mr.. BARLEY was in the banking
and money lending business, at Atkinson,
Neb. He was considered a man OF wealth.
My recollection is that the original amount
was 5000. 1t was borrowed four years be-
, fore he became defauter
"Teuth-Mr Howard says he has ev-
denoe of other and larger amounts that I
borrowed Of Barley. His statement is
false. Except for the original loan l made
