The Harlem Republican Club of New, York has adopted a series of resolutions commending the action of President Har-| rison regarding the Pan-American Con . gress, and especially complimenting him' on bis selection of ** as Presdient of the Congress. ; Murat Halstead charged in his paper that James F. Campbell the Democratic candidate for Governor, had secured a monied interest in a ballot-box, on behalf of which, as a member of Congress, he had introduced a bill. He denied the charge, but Halstead published a facsimilie of what purported to be Mr. Campbell’s signaturer to a paper subscribing for threetwentieths interest in the scheme. Friday Halstead Instructed in the following words: “Testimony was placed before me last might that tlw names, including that of Mr. Campbell, are, with two ex ceptions, traced from detached signatures and are substantially forgeries. The exceptions were written without a copy. That there may be no shade of doubt upon my exact meaning, I have to say that Mr. Cairpbell’s signature as it has been used, is fraudulent. The proof of this came to me in conclusive form at a late hour, and it is my duty at once to declare the truth.”
