Some days ago J. S I.yon and llcorgc

they had been oll'crcd by men Intend-

tlulhrie hrthcH of several thouMiud
dollars providing they dray and I.yon
would vote and use their 'cndeuwirs
to secure the awarding of the con-
tracts for school houses to those men.
They said they wl-lied to get at the
bottom of the whole matter and could
not gel Inti. it without seeming to ills-
i ii" propositions with those men. that
those men had told them that they hail
already agreed on ti rms with so iiiiny
of the biuiriliinil that oul one mole vote

consultation nml then lieeu had liy oiid
of the I'ontruutors Mr uppage or Dr.
Marion and Mr. Lyon in which it was
said by (uppage m Marlon that tiray
could not he gotten in all probabllltv.
but It would be very advisable If he
could be Induced to join them: that
I.yon 'nnl he thought he could gel

agree to; that I.yon then went to see
(ray told him what the facts were--thai
he w. inted him totuke part In the
matter for the purposeof breaking the
combination anil Uniting honest con-
tractors. At the same time Mr. I.yon
showed me a letter from Dr. Marlon
naming several members of the school
bo.ti.l sating that they were reasona-
ble men. and would cuter Into the
ncec's iry arrangement.
Mr Lyons told mo thot they had
talked with Mr. Asp and told Mr. Asp
that the would talk with me. Mr.
I.yon then said that he wus to have
the contractors IK lanev and Scott
put tin Ir oiler definitely in writing to

into the combination. The next day.

aid that he would have to add the
nmounl that it cost him to btiyetoh
and every member to the n mount of
his bid. and he thought that C. .100 for
Uray and l.ton was sttlllelent: but Mr.
Ilruy Insisted on lulling 91'kki and Mr. '
Delaney consented that he should huve '
that amount. Then Mr. I.yon told
him that he thought it im more than
right that he and Duty should know
who the other parties were that had
consented to go Into the dcpl. He told
him that no doubt the otic K knew
that he in. d limy were into this deal
therefore he would request him to tell
them who the other parties were Mr.
Delaney refused to tult who the other
pintles were. Then Mr. Ilruy asked
Sir. Delaney to tell them what amount
he had to git Dr. Marlon. Mr. Di
laney refused to tell him the amount
Then .Mr. Eymt told Mr. Delaney that
he and Mr. lltuy would consent to go
Into thlsdcul on condition and that
wus this They would ink him
to place in thu hands ot
some disinterested party J.MHl
as it matter of guarantee on
his part to assure them that he would
complete his part of the contract. Mr.
Delaney refused to do so He suhl that
he did not ask anything from them
and that he would not ask th con-
tract lo be turned over to him until he
had paid them SI.ihhi. but they Insisted
on him putting up a forfeit of that
amount. He refused tn do so for some
time but Dually consented Unit on the

All-
Having been solicited by your paper
to furnish a statement concerning im-
position in the "Imodle scheme" I have
refused ileuiindlllg that whole matter
be published by those who accused in
and that they give to the public thu
letters and other communications In
their possession.
llclng assured that such is to be pub-
lished today I am glad to get the op-
portunity t'o put myself in the public
view and let thciii be the Judge
First I will say that no person at
tiny time i eept J S. I.yon. ever inside
inu any boodle proposition or iu;i
mated to me that there wus such u
movement on foot and that any state-
ment by (leorge E (Iray or any other
person to that ell'eet. is an iluqiiatlMed
lie and malicious falsehood.
I'eiiriiary I.Mh and inth .1. S. I.von
telegraphed me nt Peiry to eoine dnw n
"at once " and my reply not reaching
him. he telegraphed I ol. Sumner the
same tluy iltithi asking where I wits.
I telegraphed Mr. Lyon and also wrote
him on the loth (which letter and tel-
egram 1 hope will bo printed).
On Suturday ilTthi as usual I eauie

Mr. I.yon
He made uie three propositions -s
1(1(1 "luo and ".no respectively -mid I
refused e.i'i: and all of them Failing
lo make tiny arrangement with me and
fearing exposure the mmmh-I Is before
I the public
I Further I wish Imiin that I never
saw nor even heard of Mr. Deliiliev or

when Mr. Lyon mentioned their names
