New York, Oct. 24.-By far the
most sensational bribery charge ever
made In New York has been laid be-
fore the legislative committee ap-
pointed to report on the alleged cor
rupt practices at Albany. Assistant
District Attorney Robert H. Elder of
Kings county told the committee
what, he said, ex-senator Frank J.
Gardner had told him last March
about the 100000 Jack pot" raised
to defeat the Hughes race track bill
in 1908. James R. Keene. owner OF
the famous Colin Sysonby; Harry
Payne Whitney, whose colors Artful
carried often to the front; David
Mitchell, formerly manager of the
Western Union racing bureau; Chas
H. Hyde, Mayor Gaynor's law part
ner, now his city chamberlain;
Schuyler S. Parsons, famous in turf
chronicles; Eugene Wood, retired
colonel of the Black Horse cavalry at
Albany, were few Of the men who
according to Elders rendering OF
Gardner, met in Delmonico's one
night during the 1903 legislative ses
sion and made up fund that started
at $125,000 and grew to be $4,000

of the fact that the people throughout

that there were no funds on hano

could not say what steps would be

matter could be discussed and some

grams from different portions of the
state requesting that the state COM

the general election, and also had sew

situation with them, and it was gen

conversed that it would be better not
to call the state committee together

CALLS JOHN E. S7ZLLMAN

Word comes from Pensacola that

0tillman declares that successive Re

the Republican National Convention.
To that end, he adds. each Presi-

tinued hfe to political machines I'M
worthy Of support, whose methods are
q stencil In the nosrtils Of all de-
cent people," In consequence the
party in Florida Is said to be pros
trated under the stigma OF negro
leadership"
We gather from all this that Mr..
Taft's performances have not meas
ured ND to his promises with respect
to negro appointments In that part
Of the south any better than have
those Of certain Of his predecessors
in the White House. Like other Re-
publican presidents, he has given
himself ut divers times to dreams
Of building up his party IN the
southern states. He made announce
ment Of his party-biulding am.
bition early IA his term. and
coupled with It declaration Of a
policy not to appoint negroes to OF.
Ace in communities where their ap-
pointment would be offensive. Such
q course Ia essential, II goes without
saying, to any serious endeavor to
'buiM up the party In the south"
But X Mr.. Stillman's charge that the
party In Florida Is still "prostrate
under the stigma Of negro leadership"
may be accepted. It appears that Mr..
Taft's good resolutions have gone to
not, and that history has repeated
itself, a. It has way Of doing.

THREATENED BY BRYAN.
"On the 18th day of October, l re-
ceived letter from Hon. n. P. Bryan
of Jacksonville, who is a candidate for
the United States senate, demanding
that l should call the state committee
together on the 25th day of October,
and threatening that if I did not do
so, that he would take the matter up
with each member Of the state com
mittee. The words Of the letter re-
ceived from Mr.. Bryan are as follows:
l want to be fair to you and say this,
that unless you do consent and call
this committee together during this
month, | shall write to each member
of the state committee and urge them
to notify you to call the committee %
gether.'
MIR. Bryan further stated in his let
ter that Mr.. Stockton had requested
that the committee be called together
on the 25th of October, and that Mr.
Stockton would write me. I have
never received any letter whatever, or
request OF any nature from Mr.. Stock
ton. Mr.. Blount has never requested
that the state committee be called On
the 2oth. but did wire me that he
would raise no opposition to the COM
mittee being called at that time,
should l deem it advisable to call the
same.
Il wrote Mr.. Bryan in reply to that
letter stating what | had done with
reference to ascertaining the feast
bllty OF holding a primary, and I'M
der the circumstances that I did not
deem it probable that we could hear
from all the counties by the 25th, and
further gave him my views as to hold
ing the primaries, ard stated that, I'M
DER the circumstances, l could not see
my way clear to change the time of
converting the committee. which had
been stated by me in the interview
referred to.
On about the 18th day of October
I,receiyed letter from Mr.. P. a. Dig
nan, member Of the state committee
at Jacksonville, with reference to call
Ing the committee together on the
10Th. This letter, while signed by P.
A. Dignan. as l am advised. was in
fact written at the request Of Hon. n.
P. Bryan.
NO DEMAND By MEMBERS
There has been no demand by the
members of the state committee. with
probably one or two exceptions that
should call the state committee TO-
gether on the 25th. The letter re-
celved from Mr.. Dignan and one other
gentleman, so requesting, are all the
communications received by NE with
reference to holding such meeting of
the state committee"
