Kollowl'ig the publication of this statement
tonight the following was given out from
tno Ianna ! headquarters :
The charge tint Hepresentatlvo Otis h is

OHAlian IS WITHOUT TRUTH.
There Is not , sajs Mi Honna' friends nnd

fact that an announcement was made many
davs ago that a plan of this kind wan In
contemplation nnd that the recent visit of
Mr llollcnbcck to Cincinnati was simply
ficl/ed upon as a vohlrlo for bringing to thu
front tholi sensational charges , shows the
tianaparrnt and purely delicious character
of the story with which they are gulling the
public
It Is also known tint a New York news
paper which has fought Mr. Hanna viciously
from the time that ho assumed chaige of
the national campaign In 1S9G dispatched a
mvstcrlcus mcsseiiBer to Ohio recently with
laigo sums of money , and It is not Improb
able that numerous other bribery fakes will
bo sprung upon the public from day to day
In the effort to play to a finish the despeiato
game begun months ago
The fact that Mr IJllss.lio specifically
clnrgcs Mr Hollenbeck with offering money
to Mr. Otis , sajs that n forged telegram from
Ohio to the president WSLQ given as an as-
Miianco tlnt'otls had changed front , shows
the * sort of work that these man who an * ,

Congressman Walter L. Weaver of Sprltic-
fleldthe homo of Governor Hushnell , was
then Introduced r.a chairman of the meeting
Ho made a most vigorous speech against
there whom ho accused with schemes for the
disruption of the party. The hissing of the
names of Rovernoi nushncll , Mi. Kurtz anJ
otheis that began -during the address of
Judge Nash reached a much higher pitch
dui Ins the addrecs of Congressman Weaver
At the conclusion of Mr Weavcr'i ? addicss
Congressmen Grosvenor , Corthway , Ilurtou
and Southaid and Judge Goblo of Cincinnati
were appointed a committee on resolution- *
While the committee on resolutions -was
out , Colonel Robert 'M. Xcvln of Da } ton
spoke. Colonel Ncvln hai , alwas been the
close personal and political friend pf Senator
Torakcr Mr. Kurtz , and others who are at
this tlmn opposing Die election of Senator
Hanna. His speech against the action cf
thosa whom ho charges with demorall/lng
nnd debauching the party caused the great
est demonstration of the afternoon. Almost
the entire audience rosev to Its fort , and
v , hllo standing on chairs , threw hats , hand
kerchiefs and other articles wildly about the
hall
At the conclusion of this remarkable ad
dress , the resolutions wcro read by John
U. Malloy , who had. bee'ii defeated by the

by a rising vcte. and the most enthusiastic
demonstration of approval :

Now , for the purpo'cs of nrrestlnjr the

and to prevent Its complete nnd most Im

and to evpry person Interested In the fair

occur , would thus lirst btuln tae fair name

Congressman Burton of Cleveland made
one of the most vigorous speeches of the

which the meeting closed with three cheers

After the meeting1 Senator Hanna -was
boronaJcd at thu Nell and responded In sev
eral speeches.
Senator Hanna did not attend the masn
convention , nor the Inaugural exercises
caillci In the day. Ho was busily engaged
In conferences with his co-workcrx , and the
frequent calls for him by the visiting dele
gations were evidently an Interruption to
much moro Important matters at this time.
The senator was compelled to make many
speeches during the day and evening , and In
all his responses ho expressed tl'o fullest
confidence In the final outcome of the pend

the entire sum to go to Fltzslmtuons If
Corbott falla to put him out In ten rounds.
Corbctt Intended to Isauo this challenge
January 17 , but decided to make It public
tonight. The challenge reads ca follows !
Itobort Fltzslmmons. Neither of us Is
qualified for oratory , and the public Is not
entertained by your wrangling- over what
Is probably nn honest proposition , more to
your advantage than mine- .
As n Inat Inducement to overcome } our
obvious reluctance to meet mo again , I
wilt make that tironosltlon stilt moro favor
able , thus :
Your pro tits from jour four greatest bat
tles were , Ilattla with Dcmpsey , $12,000 ;
battle with Jlaher , JIO.OuO , battle with Hall.
? S,000 ( the offered purse being W.OO ) , but
the club failed ) , battle with Creedon , $5,000 ;
making a total of $32,000. You made noth
ing out of your light with me , for , having
no hopu of winning , you sold your chances
for the purse- for 15 pjr cent of the protlts
In the icrlscope Therefore , 12,000 repre
sents your reward In gross for the live
greatest contests of jour life. Now listen
to what I offer.
A purse of $ i",000 stands ready toi \ of
fered as n prize for a meeting In the ring
with JOU. To tills 1 will add ? tOOOO of
my own , conditionally , that } ou airoo to

offer you this ontlro sum If 1 fall to stop

first Thnt the contest must continue tea
a finish , and
Second Th it I shall have something to
say lu regard to the appointment of a ref
eree who will not be unfairly prejudiced
In } our favor.
This Is mj flnxl pioposltlon. Take It or
leave It. If } ou really want to light It
oltcrs an oppoitunlty. Ill } ou want money ,
a sum Is leady exceeding- jour gloss earn
ing In live battles. If } oti want imputation ,
jou can makeIt better by meeting mo
than by meeting all others together. If
} ou doubt this , ask the public eacli , night
whole } ou i-xhthlt.
That Is my ultimatum I nm tired of
this ch liter I want vvoik , not lain.
Paper gnb'jllngs ilo not suit mo and abuse
is u coward's weapon.
If this mj' list offer , will not make you
meet mo like a man. It Is because } ciur

that oven $ , n,0 < X ) cannot tempt } ou to en

The tico of success Is hard to climb. I

board has rece-lved a letter from Henry

that there are no official world's racing
records. Mr , Mott began an Investigation
of the matter at the tlmo Kdvvard Me-
Dullle of I lost on tried for records on the
Willow Urovo truck at Philadelphia , ilc-
Uullle's remuneration depended somewhat
on whether ho succcede-d In breaking or

markablo riding , tie-Ing Stock of England ,
at 1:252-5 : for the mile. Several other
records were clipped , Thou UcDutllo

allowed the records nnd recorded them ns
ofllclal for thin country or within the juris
diction of the League of American Wheel-
men.
When nskod whether ho would certify
officially that they were world's records ,
ho Paid he could not do so. Ho believed
them to bo world's records , but hnd no
documents to sustain his belief. Mr Mott
nnjfl he saw that It wan n hardship , both
for the promoter , who went to the expense
of providing pacer * , and for the man who
made the records , to ha\o the matter left
uncertain , luid'ho wrote to Secretary Slur-
rupler to Inquire whether there was not
some way of milling the matter , Mr.
Sturmeler nuggrsta that each organization
