Bek : The World'ltornld of yesterday re ferring to the contest cosft of Jnmos II , Mo- Shanovs John Rush stated that McShano's nmendod petition alleges that J. W. Klter , J judge o * election In the First district of the Seventh i ward , wns corrupted by Rush nnd received > bribes for which ho so tampered with the returns from that district as to ma terially I Infiucnco the result of the cloctlon " This statement , substantially , appeared In Tin : Bun The publication ot such stntomonts nrn very Injurious to n mans Character , however good f his reputation may be , nnd In view ot the t fact that there Is no legal remedy to re dress the wrong and Injury , I trust you will do mo tbe justice to publish my reply An accusation 1 ot such 11 nnturo being sensa tional | iu Its character , newspaper * seem to have the risht to publish such ns a matter - tor ' of news regardless ot consequences I ' have boon a resident of Nebraska for about 1 twenty years , nnd have filled a num ber 1 of official positions ; but this is the first Instance I wherein it has como to my knowl edge 1 that I have been directly or Indirectly accused 1 or susplcloncd of being corrupt Whilol huvo hnd my portion of political nbuso i in a general wnycven In political warfare - faro I , I have always conducted mysolt in such 1 way in whatever I did , that my honor aud 1 integrity could not ba Justly assailed ; and 1 so 1 mny bo excused for resenting this contemptible 1 attempt to injure my character and 1 reputation , I committed the unpardonable sin of join intr 1 with the majority in the Seventh ward In opposition to the nomination of W. J. Broutcu , and for this I am Bolcctod as u proper subject upon which the wrath of dis appointed politicians Is to bo poured out First , I will say that ntiy nnd all ihargos of 1 bribery or corruption which in any way rclalo to mo nrc not only untrue , but thcro is not the least foundationoronooircumstanco , within my knowledge , that can bo construed Into n suspicion that K have been guilty of fraud , bribery , or anything tending that waj . Itmaybotbnt these accusations nro tbo outgrowth ot n cowardly Innuendo made by \V. J. Uroatch in his letter published in the World-Herald Deoembor 8 , 1880. Being in Chicago at the tlnio , I never saw the letter until yesterday Having boon informed of what bo had said , I sought the fllos of the paper , and found that Mr Uroatch devoted a column of assertions to nn endeavor to show that Mr Rosewnter ts n very bad man ; and discussing tbo city election , in the lnttor part of his letter ho said that I rot used the votes of working men , nnd then says : "I nskod him ( meaning me ) how much money he deposited tbe day after election , " While ho does not accuse mo of receiving uionoy for any improper purpose , taking bis question In connection with his letter ho showed that bo desired to have the public believe that such was the fact This shows what n cowardly assassin of character and reputation Uroatch is He had uot the man hood to squarely nm < o an nccusation Ho can only bo excused upon tbo cround that ho was born with such traits of character Tliu ln'nuondo of Broatch is now followed by n charge of bribery and corruption , in the complaint of James II McSnano ; but charged in such a way tbat McShano is not liable to civil or criminal action at law It McShane knows any thing about It , ho knows there is uo foundation for tbo charge I have no personal knowledge ns to what man ner , or how much money McShano used to secoro his election ; but it does seem proper that such a man as ho should have some proof before bo charges a man wltn bribery and corrupt conduct Mr McShane has boon , and will be care ful not to muko tbo charge against me in a man nor that would make bim liable iu legal proceedings Not ono vote was rejected without the approval of the three judges Kvorytbfng that was done was open and above board Tbo room was largo , and tboro were from fifty to 100 voters and spectators in tbo room during the whole day The re was a line con stantly in waiting from the time the polls opened until they closed During the count members of both parties were invited to , and looked over our shoulders I did not receive a ballot from any voter during tbe day and had no conversation with any person relating to whom be would vote for , after tbo polls were opened As to the candidate tor treasurer , it was understood to be a fight between the banks for the deposits ; tbero was no politics in it I did not euro which ot tbo two mon were elected , bo far as tboy were individually concerned - corned , for I have not even sufficient no- quaintance with either of them to be recog nized upon the street ; but in fact I would have at tbat time been pleased if McShano I had been elected If for no ether reason than that the First National bank wanted bim , and X bcllovo I so expressed myself the day of oloctlon The board received on the morning of oloc tlon the following letter und opinion : Till !
