A Mr Eager was S resent, but he did not remember telling iui that he intended voting for the grant ing of Hughes'and Christiansen's licenses. He had been promised A'so if he would refuse to grant a license to more than one hotel, but he had never been offered A'so to vote against Hughes'. He had refused to havo anything to do with the money, and it was only on the persistent opposi tion of the publicans he had told the Com mittee what had happened. In his con versation with Eager he did not sav he had received a bonus. Eager said, when leaving “ Will you share your lionus with me." Witness replied, “ Oh, uo. I’ll give it to the library when I-get it." He had never said that he was anxious to revenge himself upon certain personr, including his brother, and on this account had re fused to grant the license. His action with regard to tbo license was commented upon in the leading columns of the paper, and among a section of the community. It was rumored he had been bribed to vote against the license. The party in opposition to the public were successful in their efforts, and worked with them to some extent, to keep himself posted up on what was transpiring, The letter of Mr lteese was damaging, and it was un true that he had received a consideration. He was one of thoso who granted Chris tiansen's license. Christiansen was oc cupying a house belonging to his wife. His acquaintances and friends had ap parently a sufficiently diseased imagina tion to believo Mr Uecse ill preference to him. Ho had never challenged Mr lteese to put the matter before thu public in the Town Board election. Ho left it to the Town Board election as a test of public feeling, aud had it not been for the detendant tampering with the elcclois lie would have succeeded in this election. Unfortunately the illiterate part of the community of Pahiatuu had tlie weight, and they put him at the bottom of the poll. Ilis Business as an insurance agent had been effected. He did not canvass the electors in the Town Board election, as did his opponents, neither did he can vas in the licensing flection.
