electia ki B payne senator in 1884 reporter rep reported this te evening the majority re report or signed by three republicans is bengt lengthy y and is accompanied by pages of evidence the important points of which are cited to show that while none of the members of the present general assembly have been conclusively impeached a case has been made as to the corrupt methods and the testimony fully folly justifies that it be certified at once to the united states senate for action by that body in considering si paynes right to his bis seat most of the witnesses who testified as use of money were democrats some being ex members of the legislature who were at the time offered various suras sums notably representative kahle who testified that senator ramey offered him to vote for paine saying that was what he ramey got evidence is cited to show that there were two banks wherein ramey deposited arm each and also to show that large investments were made at the time by state senator elmer
