January -Long before the house began its business this morning groups of men mighs have bean tcon standing in the halls and ccrridors, or crammed away in cornera of the rooms adjuiving the house, evi dentiy d'scursivg something, the ure of which deeply 1uterested them. As a matter of fact thess men were actually discussing the be't meass—if any—of NULLIPYING THE RESOLUTION passed by ths house yesterday afternoon, concerning the firm of Hawes, Kenvard, Pearman & Co., tho well-known clalmnnts. Hawes was here in person to watch the pro- ceedings on behalf of the firm, and Koonard might also have bzen mo- ticed instructing Tieid’s lambs in the way they should go, It has besn noised about the bui ding that many of the men composivg these groups already spoken of above were anxious that a resolution ba pre- sented to the house to allow Dawes and Ker- man to appear on the floor ¢nnd address the msmbers on theic owa bshalf, so that they wight have an opportunity of personally ex- plaining matters A greater insult’to t P pla of this stats and a more impudent and are-faced soggestion could not possibly ba conceived.

Brown is always good and sound, but Hoxie ontdid himself. All that conld be done from o legal polnt was done by these gentle— men for the prisoner. It was their duty, and that was enough. On the othes hand, Russell made clear the rquare statements of facts, so strong that no jury could doubt as to the'r verd et Marshall closed with a strong com- mon-sence plea, seldom equalled, The jury was_an exceptional one, bring composed of good, level-hended men, Tney wero not out ten minutes when o verdick of guilty was re- turned. Heldt was sentenced by Judge Tit- fany to state’s prison for ten years at haxd la. bor. It may seem hard, but, suppose tho train had ran «ff the brid doz:n nyers wonld have been killed. What then? The citizans wonld want to have the prisoner lynched.

Clarkeon, of the Des Mouines Repister, and member of the national committee of the republican y arty, sfécr a great deal of goading and conference with his friend J, B, McCul- lough, of the Globe-Democrat of 8t Louis st last gives to the public what he calls ths evidenes to provell proposad to eell cut to the republicans aud thus betray the probibition party. In Clarkscu's letter, published in the Chicago Tribune on the 9th inst., he says. “To my knowledgehe did have overtures made through o friend from his own state, by which he offered, if paid £25,000, to ask to withdraw as a ciandidate altogether, or to stay in the field and ‘‘feather” spceches (a3 it was put in a Kausns phrase), to the help of the republizans, He was nelied, in order to prove the sincerity of his cffer, to withdraw from Obio the last week before ths October elections in that state. Ho did this under a plea, which he ssid ha would give, of eetting o sore throat, and with ths friend 1 have mentioned weat first to Pitts- burg, next to Philadelphia, snd finally to New York. where he hoped to ineet some one on tho part of the republican national committee who would b ready to make the deal and pay the cash.” My appointments were mude by the national committee of the prohibition party at Chicazo, September 18, I filled every one of these—and one more, and those who atvended my meeting will do me the justice to say that I didn't “‘festher” my speeches eith- er. Having thus completed my work in Ohio, without havizg s sore throat, in_accordance with the programme made for me by the com. mittee, [ proceeded on the morning ot October 17, to *Adrisn, Mich wheie at 2 p, m. that day in the open air I addrested nearly 10,0 10 paople, going the same evening to Dc- troiz, where I addressed a large audience in tho Girand Opern houso, The mexs morning in company with Hon. D. B. Sazendorf, of Cbarlotts, Mich., aud one of the national committee, and several other prominent pro- hibisiomsts. I started for my next appoint- ment at Kalamozoo, meking several stort speeches on the way, and addro:sing a mect- g at Kalamazoo, both afternoon and even- ing. Trom there I went witn other prohibi- tion workers t» Flint, Mich,, whero ot 2 p, m., October 9th, I addresscd o large open sir meetiog, leavinz there in ths evenlug in company with Hon. D Preston, probibition candidate for governor of Michigan, for De- troit, from which city at 12 o'clock_that night 1 started via Baffalo to Philadelphia, arriving thera abous 9 o'clcele in the evening of the J0th. I spoken the Academy of Music the ~eveniog of the 1ith, and spest a gosd porton of tha day of the 12th with R. Burdetie at Addmore, cight miles from ‘tho city. Oa the | ¢ ©evening of the 13th I addressed an open air meoting ot Monument squere, Baltimore, and then another meeting tha si1ms evening in Kast Baltimore, That night at 12 o'clock I started for Brooklyn, where, on the evening of the 14th, I spoke in the rink, the 15th at Middle- town, Connecticut, the 16th at Worcester, Massachusetts, the 17¢h at_Cbickering hall, New York city, the 18th at Newack, New Jer. sey. From thenco I went to western New York, where Thad eight moetings. Every ono of the foregoing mestings being in striot pursuance to the appointuy - ds by the natioal probibition committee, I'have not been at, or passed th gh, Pistt- burg for years, Mr, George R, Scott, foreman of the Now York Weekly Witness, joined me in, Ohio, Ociober 6, and traveled with nded ali tho meetings from that time up to and inc uding the one at Newark, New Jorsoy, Octobar 18, He and no other as- quantavce accompanied mo from Michigan to Philadelphia, nor did I, on the way, tes any friendn or acqu sdutauces from my own sta‘e, Mr. Clarkson furthee says i his Tribune let- ter of the 19:h: may add that neither the nstional committee, or any one asting for it, ever made an overture or proposition of any kind to St. John, Al that 1 did was to 1 szen and discuss the overtures and propo itions mudo to it, through the medinm which he employed to reach it.” Yet, in the same let- ter he convicts himself, for he says: *‘He (myeelf) was asked, in order to prove ths sin- cerity of bis offer to withdraw from Ohio the 1ast week befora the October elestion in that state.” Who was there in this transaction to doubt my siuc.rity but J. 8. Clarkson? But, further on, herays: “The thinga which were demanded from St. John as to his movements in Ohio wore pledged by that friend snd car- ried out by St. John, Threa parties are hore referred to—firat, the party that made tte de~ cond, tha man that gave the pledge d third, wyeelf, who *‘cariied” it out, Now, T submit that there must have bcen somobory to bave od the *‘things which were de- manded,” and who could it bave been but Clarkson, and yet hesays that 11 1t (the com- mittee) aid was to listen to and diecuss the overtures and propositiont made to it If Mr. Clarksod was an honest man, why did not | hot he indignently refuse to ent:rtaiv any such proposition, But finally Mr, Clarkson pames James I, Legate of Lewvenworth, Kansas, as the long suppressed name of this middle man, and proceeds to publish what he claims to be Legte's lettors, which, whother gesuine or not, serves farthor to show up Clarkeon's per- fidy. In what Olarkeon clims to by dated at Topeka, Kausas, ad. J. 8, Clarkson, Legate says: Senas r 1’a request I cami t) seo you at Cncinvati. You scemed & share'my views. Your ad me your talk, T waitad the arrival from New Yuk, and supposed the offcred to make any terms with the repub licans, snd that St. John had_Teser author: toj make any proposition; and (hat o that he bad done eo wis o wilnl lie, gotten up to i ju e St_John aud oare down the men who had been lying on m,” Thus Ly Clarkson's own witnesses Logata s made his and not my aeent, and I am exoneratcd from all complicicy in thess matters, but it is said that I saw Legato at Oberlin, Ohio, October G that is true, but why was he there a° d in whose interest? Why, ke was sent by thoso managing thy 1epublican campaign in Ohio for the express purpose of making a re- publican speech, which he did the eveuing of October 710 answer to the addeess delivered by me on ths 6th, But to throw a little more light on Mr. Clarkscn’s relation to this whole matt r. hesr what his friend J, B, McCul- lough, of the 8¢, Louis Globe Damccerat, in an interview ropor ed in tho Post-Dispateh, of St. Louts, 01 ths 30th ult., says: “Mr. Clark: of the Des Moinss (Iowa) Register, who was a member of the committee, and who had charge of the dapartment which conducted the negotisticns, has proof of the facs, This is in such shapa that Le is bound to rome extent and cannot use, but the fact fs certaip. 1 sm surs of it John want:d 235,000 and 850 alecture.” Now I submit to the candid judg ment of every good citizen, unbiased by par- tisan projudice, even though I should inter. pose no word in my own defanss, do not the statements of Ularkson, Legate and Me. Cullough show that there was a plan laid to cither filch money from fhe treasury of the national raputlican committee or bribe me t» betray an honest, sincere and coneciencious minority, and thus prevent a fair expression of the will of the people and throug 1 el Gorrip ians RIBINVISESEY e the republican pnt{. Failing in this, and smarting under the lash of poliaeal defe.t and blasted hopes, to crown the infamy Legate is treacherously betrayed and offered as a sactl- fiics on the altar of curruption. And these are my accusers! But it has been charged that 1sscured esrly in the campain from S.nator Plump a letter introducing Mr, La- gato to the national committee as a person wuthorizad to act and speak for him (me ) To which I reply that T have notseen S:nator Plumb for nearly a yearand have had no cor- rasponcence with bim since Mr. Blaine was noninated, and never requested him nor any- body elso to do any such thiog, and Senator Plumb is at liberty to publish anything that he has from me touching on this matt:r. It will be ob:erved that it 1s sta‘ed thatI wrots letters t+ L. W. Goge, state organizer for Ohio,A, L. Carey of Samanths, Rev. Mr, Ge- ga0, + f Lolumbus and Profesor W. O, Frost, of Obarlin. Now I respestfully ask these gan. tlemen if aoy letter or lotte.s or other com- munications were ever received from me this_Fquestion to publish that fact. Againivis charged that ‘“‘there are eeveral gentlemen who could help prove that I eold out to the democrats, and the jeditor of the Chicago News is mentionad us ‘gne, and_Sen- ator Gorman, of Maryland, as snother. Now, while T have not, the honor of nal ac- quaintance with either of thes respoctfully request thom in ho interest’ of common f.irness if they hava any evidence that criminates me to give is 4o the public Finally, 1§ did not go to Philadelphia with Mr. Legate nor from FPhiladelphia to Now York with him, but I did, when in Philadel- phia, on the nivht of October Kth, in answer to a request made through the olamns of the Now York Tribuns of that date by wka’ pur- ported t ba the New York sta¥s temperance assembly,” that I withdraw from ths cam- Dpaign, write an ofen latter (publiched in tho Now York {and Philadelphis pap ra of the h in reply to said request) in which I said t I should “‘neither withdraw nor assume & neatral position.” but wonld” continua the matter would be closed up, but after the con- sultation at Columbug, it was deemed best 1 should look after Bt.

Ieaid t> him, bascd upon what you said and your friend from New York, toge'her with waat wus eaid by Senator P the uight after the conference at Columbus, that I would guarantee $10,000, He was satisfiod ard went with me to Phila. delphia, I thers persusded him to write let ters to L. W. Gage, state urganizer for Ohio; AT ey, of Samavtha; Kev Mr. Gegger, of Commuus, aud Prof, W, G. ¥rost, at Oberlin, urgiog them to aid ths republican state ticket, saying if the republi can state ticke: was elected he beidoved his yote in Novewber would be largely increased. Mr{ judgment is that his leasingtbe state and tiog these Jettors added & very large num ber to the republican majority in Ohio, At Philadelphia I received a divpateh that the matter wonld be fixed at New York where, with him, I weot. Ifound Mr. Elkins, who weewed to know nothing and would do neth. fight against ths liquor traffic as longas I should live and the flag of our eountry waved its protoctive fol ‘s over a lezalized dramshop. I was never in the hesdqusrters of either the democratic or republican party, ard to this d not know whers th:y are mor did I during the cam paign ever epeak, write or telegraph to, or even to ay know'edgasee any mem- ber of the natiosal or state committees of eitherof said parties, nor did I receiye a pen- uy, pledga or promise, directly or indurectly, from any political pirty, committes or other organization, except my legi\fnate expenses, ntiog toless than 89X, paid by the na tional committse of the prohibition pasty. Nor did I ever do, or propose to do, or omit to do, anything for the purpose of de.reasing the probivition vote, or ¢f increasing the vote of either of the other nolitical parties, nor did I “get a sore throat,” or pretend to get a sora throat, and I think that even tho 1e- publican party will not claim that 1 *‘feath- ered” speeches, and I again challenge mv do. famers to prove to the contrary. “With charity for all and mulico toward none,” T now submit this statement to the peopls w th a firm conviction and full realization that for the trath thereof I am to answer to Gud.

OLARESON'S REPLY, Dis MoiNgs, January 17.—St John's state- ment did not reach 1es Moines till after mid- night and Clarkson had merely time to glance it over, He said: “It is moré ot a confersion than o contradictisn; he deals only in quibbles and craftily evades the main facks. He virtu- a'ly rests his whole case on the asseriion that Legate's claim t) ba his agent was false and that Legate’s lotters, as printed, ave forgarics, He knowa that both of such assertions are un- true, He knows too, that if what he now asserts was not untrue, he could get a letter from Senator Plamb vindicating both himself and Legate, The latter came to me a3 Ssint John’s agent, with a letter from Plumb, which showed that the Kaneas ~senator knew that Legate was acting for S John, and that he was aurhorized to act for him. Why does he not bring a letter from Plumb to deny the facts which I gave to the publicin the Globe- Democerat iunterview on the 13sh, and why doss he not bring a libel suit against mysclf and my paper and the Globe-Democrat, and #n compel all the fects to be brought to light. He knows he dare not sue for litel and that he dare not let Senator Plumb and others go on the wit- news wtand and tell undoe oath what they know. ~He ard others will not voluntarily tell that which th y voluntarily learnad from St John and Lo ate in confidence, But in court they would have to tell it, Why doesn't 8t John bring them there?
