AN ALLEGED OFFER DECLINED. Des Moines, Io , Nov. 20 — Home stead, an agricultural paper publish- | ed here, will to-morrow, in a special | edilion of 100,000 copier, expose | the methods of Mark Hanna in pur-| chasing the agricultural papers of | the central west, particularly in the | mers away from silver. The article. consisting of 15,090 words, makes direct charges that papers were bought, and challenges those impli-| cated to sue for libel. It directly charges that Wallace’s Farmer, pub- liked here, was purebased, and esti mates that fully $200,000 was spent to buy other payers in Iowa, Iadi ana, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota, Ohio and Michigan. Although names of the men who carried on the deal jare not given, they are described. The descriptions fit a United States senator, national committeeman and | several Iowa politicians. The Homestead says it was itself invited into the deal aud yives tke entire transaction away. It tells of conferences with republican leaders | held by James M. Pierce, manager, and S. F. Stewart, editor, both here and in Chicago, and says that the price offered was about $12,000. In return for this the Homestead was to publish articles, disguised as non | partisan, to be furnished by writers jin the employ of the republican committee, and to refuse to publish communications from silver men un til the close of the campaign. Thou- }sands of sample copies were tobe sent to the addresses of doubtful farmers, gathered by the county committeemen in the central western |states.
