Mr.. CLAY AT THE BULLRtNG
The interesting scenes Of our late election have
for the last two weeks nearly absorbed our atien-
tion and taken of our eyes from the proceedings
of Congress We find, however, scene passing
in the House of Representative, which IS OF an
interesting and remarkable character. 1t relates
to the coalition between Adams and Clay in 1925.
The principal actors are two Of the representatives
Of Kentucky-BoYD, whose manly letter came ont
in the Enquirer few days ago. and WHITE,
who ga,b bled our article of February, 1926. and
grossly perverted its whole character. Col. Boyd
has charged him, upon our authority, with this
perversion and Mr.. White has had the "want ot
candor and honesty" to declare in the face Of the
House, that he had made the extracts from the
Enquirer fairly. Fairly when he suppressed
the very sentence which showed under what i'm
pressions we considered Henry Clay as then sin
nocent'-the very sentence, which showed that
we did not then believe (of course before the cleo
tion) that Mr.. Clay would vote for Mr.. Adams
much less, that he would have afterwards taken
office from his hands as reward for his vote
Mr.. White does not state what we afterwards said
in opposition to Mr.. Clay's taking office from
John @. Adams, that public man ofght not only
to be pure, but, like Cssar's wife, free from the
very suspicion of impurity He keeps back what
we said when Mr.. Claws defence appeared, 'that
it was not conclusive in his defence He keeps
back what we said, when the mysteries of the
coalition were investigated by the Legislature Of
Kentucky-when we called for Mr.. Clay's letter
to Mr.. Blair, without which, the suspicion would
forever attach to him, and is attached to this mo-
n,ent But the most remarkable part of the de-
bate in the House of Representatives on Tuesday
last, relates to this very letter; when Col Boyd
read in the House the copy of a letter, which he
proposed to Mr.. White to send jointly in their
name to H. Clay then Il Washington, TO pre-
vail upon him fMr. G.. 10 Furnish copy tof the
letter to Mr. Blair to publish it.


This letter is charged to have been written by
Mr. Clay on the 9Th of January, 1925, and to con-
tain in substance the following passage:


ga friend of Mr. Adams comes with tears in his
eyes, and SAYS Sir Adams has always had the greatest
repec for YOU and the highest admiration for aents
were undoubtedly the second choice Of New England.
and pray YOU consider whether the public good and
YOUR own future nteress not distinctly point you to
the course which you onght to pursue.


Ey friends entertain the belief, that their kind wish
es towards ME- will in the end, be likely TO be
complshed by 90 bestowing their votes Your repre-
sentative is inclined to concur with US in these sef
ments aud as Iknow his respect for your opinions
request you in views, that you will write to
him by return mail, strengthen him IN hsinclination
Show this to Cnttenden alone"


White shrinl,s from the test---refuses to join
Col Boyd in this application to Mr. Clay; and
sneaks out of It upon the ground, that if Mr.
Boyd alone would write the letter, be would ''no
doubt receive prompt reply" What sort Of a
reply y Now, we say this IN the face of the
world, as we said in 1926, that IL Mr.. Clay, see
ing this movement, and being now at Washington
