Special Despatch to The Chicaga Lribune, TorEgs, Kan,, Jan, 29,—The rovelations to~ day disclosed tho most infamous page in the books of Kansas infamy. The disclosure camo without premonition, and astounded evory one. Tho joint convention had just aesembled, when Sonator York, of Montgomory County, arose to a question of privilege, nnd stated that e camo to the Logislature na an _aunti-Pomeroy man, and took an activo part in the opposition to tho Benator's ro-clection, Pomeroy, ho said, mado soveral voquosts for interviows, aud, ab longth, Colonel York says, with the sdvice of Bon. F. Thompson, of Miami County, W. H. Johngon, of Andorson County, and James Horton, of Douglass County, hoconsentod to the intorview fur tho mola aud aingla purposn of une masking the villainy of the old corruplioniet. About midnight on Monday, in Sonator Pome- roy's room fn tho Tifft House, tho bargain and ealo of Henator Yorl's voto and influonce was made in considoration of tho sum of §8,000, of which sum $7,000 was paid dowa, Pomeroy prom- ising "to pay ‘the remaining $1,000 sftor tho elootion, Colonal York then handed the monoy, in $1,000 packagoes, to the Scerolury of the Bonato, nnd invited members and Senators to examine it. York held up his hand to°and swore bofore heaven that every statemont was truo in subatance and dotail, and promised to meke public other ravelations. What Pomoroy unfolded to him, he said, would oxcite the whole peoplo of the nation, Tho confusion that followod was intenso, The ory of “Hang Pomeroy!” and motions for re~ cens rondored it impossiblo to transact businoss. The supportors of Pomeroy were stoggered and confounded. Whon ordor was routored, the mo- tion for o rocess was voted down, nnd tho firat ballot in joint convention was taken, which ballotresulted in giviug Ingalls, of Atchison, 113 votes, and Pomeroy none. The rewaining votes wore divided between Lowe, Harvey, and Starke. Tho election of Ingalls cauned great rejoicing. Turthor- devolopmonts show that tho nat way sproad for Pomeroy Iaat weok by Beu. Simpron, ot o sccrot sossion of tho auti-Pomeroy caucus, but Pomeroy did not got entangled in tho meshes until Inte Monday night. It ecoms that the Sen- ator distrusted York when he founa that Lo did not receive o vote from him on the first ballot yesterday and to-day, and, when the mossenger announced the vote, Pomeroy instantly inquired how York voted. 2 Yorl hed soveral interviows with the Senntor, 2ud found some difiiculty in desling directly with him, tho Sonator proferring that a third party should arrango matters. Finally, at York'a direct request that no third man be admitted into the socret, Pomoroy consented to deal with him, York named a high price, nuerumi that the peo le of Montgomery Count{ would heng him it 6 returned thoro, and at length tho considera- tion was fixed at 8,000, York receiving €2,000 & ono psyment, $5,000 st anothor, snd tho promise of 81,000 more. After payment York attended & Pomeroy caucus, and pledged his ad- horence to the Senator's cause. York's torriblo oxposure comos like & thunder- bolt from a olear alcy, Not more than twenty oraous in the main entortained & hope of r’nmnroy'a dofeat, The opposition was doe mpondent, and the Pomeroy men rejoicad. When York sat down, confusion and disordor, minglad with sll sorts of cries and throats, reigned. Botions and amondments followed in quick suc- cession, and 8o great was the atampedu to John J. Tngalls, whom the anti-Pomeroy mon brought out ay & candidate at 1 o'clock Inat night, that not o man waas found to vote for Pomeray, ‘I'ho popular indignation sgeinst Pomeroy is torrible.
