legates statement did not reach des moines until an eari carl hour after midnight I 1 but was shown larkson clarkson who said this is a contradiction of two statements that le reate leate legate ate has made to the st louis ite re and is nearer the truth it denies his own and st johns statements that they had had no conference on the matter it confesses virtually collusion and the amount st joh john n asked it shows that st john was willing to be hired to leave othio iilo and hired not to go to new york legate never said a word to me about money bein being sent to the republican committee I 1 in kansas nor do I 1 believe that he did to any one else for I 1 never heard of it until now I 1 do no know who he means by his friend in ohio unless it was senator plumb as it was the latter who gave him the letter of intro to me inc it will be seen se enthat that the letter contradicts st john in nearly every instance especially specially in st johns denials that he had no conference with legate that he had kad no sore throat that he did not chance any of his appointments in ohio that he never thought of leaving ohio and that he nev er thought of such a thing as changing his course to suit or serve the republicans public ans indeed the letteron lette legate is a virtual confession of the arnth of the statements I 1 have made except that t he suppresses the facts as to his receiving a letter f from rom st john that he read to me and kerens and that he seeks to make it appear that the money was to go to kansas republicans laicans andl andi that the national republican committee had bad consented to send t to that certain state when it had not nearly enough money to use in doubtful f ut slates it shows that legate was acting in collusion with st john and indeed it proves practically all that th athas has been charged and that st john understood it all the only material difference diff er made by legate is in his strained and insincere statement that the money was bein being sought for the benefit in kansas instead of st johns personal benefit kansas republicans would have been the last to ask or accept money that the national committee needed in the doubtful states in another week I 1 hope and believe mr legate will take another long step forward anabell and tell teil the rest of the facts and give to the public the letters of st john to confirm it all it will be seen that he no longer contends that his bis printed letters letter sare are forgeries but admits them and tries to explain them the letter he wrote me after returning to kansas was not marked confidential but I 1 did not al low it to be printed until after I 1 was compelled to do it by the statements that he made in interviews published in im the st louis lle Ite publican GALVESTON tex 26
