Wasrrsarox, D. C.. April 20.—The charge of Tag CEIcAGO TRIBUNE that the Democrata snd the Whisky Ring have united in a conspiracy ta injure the reputation of Secretary Bristow wag to-dsy completely proved by the admis sion of the Milwaukee witoesses in the Mary Merritt case. The condition of this investigation is illustrated by the following converaation, ‘which occurred between. & Republican Congressman and a Demooratia member of the Investigsting Committes. Trm Congreseman asked the member how the invea- tigation stood, and whether it was nearly ccm- cloded and ready to be reported, whereajon the member, with a significant swils, said: *and Twe s pretty nearly through, but I don’t lmow as we shall -aver msake & report. If Bristow should be. nomi- nated for the Presidency we mighs, however, Took the evidence through to see if we could paxhsps discover & point, but if he is not nominatsd we shall probably not look it through.” The entire investigation is A STOPENDOUS PAILURE, The geveral press report will give detaiis of the testimony taken to-dsy. The significant facta of it are these: That the entire inwesti- gation, and the charges upon which it is based, was instigated Dy sttorneys for persoms ine dicted in tbe Whisky Ring prosecatians in ilw aukee, and by the President and Secretary of the Milwaukes City Democratis Club. Northrop, the editor of the Milwaukes Com~ mercial Times, admitted that he was anxious to publish the charges ‘becauss he had thought it would be & good political card, and ha co-op- erated o this end witn the Preeident 'of the Milwaukee City Democratic Club. Waiss, wha ‘was Deputy Collector of Milwaukee, and inform- or in the case, admitted that he was Secretary of the Clab, while Henzie, the detective of the Milwaukee & St. Paul Bailroad, was President of the Club. Secretary Bristow insisted that these charges ORIGINATED WITH THE WHISKY FING * or with tbe Democracy. He has proved that it originated jointly with both. The investization has practically ended with the examination of the witnesses for 1ihe proses ontion, ana has resalted in the completa vindk cation of Bristow by tne testimony of thess wita neases. A carious incident of the examination to-dsy was that Weiss, wno was Deputy Collector, paid Hazelton, » member of Congrees, $500 foa arguing the case before the Treasury Depart- ment. Thers is no law against this, a8 the casq was argued on behalf of the Government, and not against it * According to the testimony of the editor of the Commercial Times, Goodwin and Cothsu~ sen, a8 attorneys, represent the Whisky Ring element of this prosecution, and Henzie and ‘Weiss, officers of the Democratic Ciub, that of the political people who wers anxioue to use the malics of the whisky crowd for political par~ oa. i [7oths Assacisted Press.) HIS MILWAUKEE PERSECUTOES. Waszrsoron, D. O, April 29.—E. B. Norttxos, the editor of the Milwaukes (Wis) Commercial Times, in which an article appeared making & charge against Secretary Bristow in connection with the Mary Merritt cuse, testified that ha wrote the article, and that & Depaiy UniteX States Marsbal first called his attension to the subject and asked him to ** work up " the case. It was erther Ed Simpson or Barker. His knowhk edge of the case was derived from Col. Goodv win, who received his statement from Mr. Joba< son and from John A. Hinze, & detective, wha derived his information from Mr. Weiss. THE WITNESS XNEW NOTHING except what he derived from othecs, and by s® examination of $he court records. ‘The witnees, in reply to & question by Becretary Bristow, sald {bat Col. Goodwin during the last eight monthg was engaged exclusively 1 the whisky-frand trials at Milwaukee. Sesretary Bristow asked the witness ‘whethar Col. Goodwin was not his open and avowsd enemy, becauss of his official courss in tta prosecution of thoss eogaged i the whisky frauds. Representative Bright remarked that the Corma« mittee was not engaged In the examination ef whisky frauds. Sectotary Bristow said that a8 he had been ar« raigned oo charges preferred by » Member of Congress, Judge Cate, it seemed to him that it 'waa competent to SHOW THE MOTIVE OF THE ATTACK. Representative Bnght objectsd, on the of irrelevancy, and Representative the Committes had bettar send for Col. Goodwiny and put him on the stand. He could then ba interrogated as to bis motive. ‘Toe question seemed to bo an attempt to_throw discredit on the witness, without giving him an opportunity to be neard. 'After this conversation by the members of the Committee Mr. Northrop said that Col. Good= win did not m!nglu tho publication of the statement against Secretary Bristow. G. E.Weiss, formerly Deputy Collector at Milwaukes, testified aa to his conduct in rela- tion to the Mary Merritt, and the circumstances attending the ootaining of his moiety. The wit~ ness resisted the remission of the bond of $15,~ 000 until his interests wers secured. He paid Judge Hubbell $500 ous of gratitude for not favorig such a remission, and not in conse~ uence of sny private agreement with that gen- tleman. The witness ssid that Gen. Bristow afterwards appeared and made his argument be- fore Secretary Richardson, i company with counsel for Trice, and retired maving that he -merely appeared for meigh- bors and friends, ba no pecuciary in- terest in the matter.
