A , Washington correspondent details the
reasons why Bon. A G. Riddle both refuses to
take the stump tor Blaiue or to support him
by his vote. Mr. James Kuuwlton, i news
paper correspondent was a clerk In Mr. Kid
dle's office at Washington. Mr. Kuowlton
»itue*sed the transfer of fifteen Kansas Pa
•itie temporary construction bonds, ot" $1,000
tack, to James G. blame.
It wasaDefed that these bonds were trans
ferred to Mr Blaii in consideration of hi*
•enrice to lbecorporatioa,ia his official capaci
ty asHepnscntativin «{mi, Mr. Blame
attempted a deni.-U.au i v;^iv,-.ii, fogged state
ment, as is usu.il with him when his. improp
er acts arc exposed. But Mr. Knowlton
made such a fair and conclusive statement
tbat the public believed him ; and his asser
li.ins hare been since proved by the Mullt
ran letters and other evidence.
But Mr. Knowlton died, and then Mr.
BhUno denounced him •< a falsi&cr. Know
ing his hijh character Mr. Kiddle resented
the accusation by Blame against the dead
man, and he does not hesitate to say that it
was Blame who falsified the facts touching a
transaction that took place in his (Riddle's)
office. When solicited to make speeches for
Blame, Mr. Riddle indignantly declined, and
gave notice that he should oppose Blame's
election.
ARTISTIC ACIISO.
The Hon. Bill Lawrence, a treasuery tax
eater, was in congress when the Mulligan
expose transpired. The first day that Mulli
gan testified before tbft committee, says
Representative Hutton of Virginia,, there
was no excitement at all, but he happened
to mention that be had in his possession
certain letters written by Mr. Blame to War
ren Fisher.
"The mention of these letters, says Mr.
Hutton, seemed to have a remarkable effect on
Mr, Blame, for a moment or two afterward
he whispered to Mr. Lawrence, Republican
member of the committee, "Move an ad
journment." It so happened that I heard
the suggestion. Mr. Lawrence got up with
great solemnity on his countenance aud
said: "Mr. Chairman, lam very sick and I
hope the committee will adjourn.".
Poor Billwasso "sick" that the committee
adjourned. That night Blame got the letters,
and refused to give them back.
In order to get the letters there occurred a
memorable instance of Blame's "artistic
acting." He almost got down on his knees,
and pleaded for the letters, they would ruin
him for life,and he asked Mulligan -'to think
of his wife and six children."
He even carried his artistic acting so far
as to "almost contemplate suicide." He
offered a brise for the letters, be would pro
vide Mulligan with a consulship.
Mr. Blame's "artistic acting" has grown
threadbare. In the exigencies of the pres
ent campaign it will avail him nothing. He
has hanged a mjll-stone about hie neck be
cause he has never had the honesty and
moral courage to " tell the truhV
AS ARMY Or OFFIfJEttS.
The annual gathering of the "Army of the
Ten nesses" has just taken place, and was,
in all results, a success. The weather was
pleasant, the place of holding the meeting
was incomparable in its convenience and
beauty and the attendance included all the
representative men who followed Sherman
from Atlanta to the sea. The Army of the
Tennessee has a wonderful history,
not only in the amount and character
of its fighting but in the ro
mance which attended so many of its
movements. Its march from Chattanooga
southward through the tremendous passes
of the mountains, its conflict about Atlanta,
its cutting loose from its base of opera tions
and disappearing in the depths of a hostile
country and its final triumphant re-appe^
ance on the shore of the Atlantic, are all oc
eurances out of the usual course of events,
and contribute to give to this branch ,of the
federal forces splendor and an eclat not at
tained by any other division.
In reading the proceedings of the various
annual reunions one is surprised to find that
the material of this celebrated army is sin
gular in its quality. The oflicers of the civil
body are all generals, colonels, majors and
captains. All the addresses are made by
gentlemen who have a handle to their names,
the lists of committees are made
up exclusively of commissioned
officers. In the conres of an
debate in the meetings, the men who speak
are always those who have •no flavor of the
ranks. The conclusion from these facts is
that the gallant Army of the Tennessee is
composed entirely of commissioned officers,
and that unlike most armies it is now and
must have been in its days of active service,
made up without any rank and file.
It must have been when it went swinging
through Georgia an army of swords. There
was no such thing as a musket. There
was no such encumbrance as a private. The
rank and file of the union armies were at
some other point; they were being lost in
the wilderness; they were engaged in but
ting out their brains against
tile impregnable defenses of Coal
Harbor; they were being blown up
In the trenches- of Petersburg; they were
chasing Price in Missouri; they remained
with Thomas at Nashville and assisted in
the repulse of Hood with his infuriate follow
ing. They were not permitted to join with
Sherman on his breezy promenade to the
sea. All this is evident from the reports of
the meetings of the Army of
the Tennessee, for in no part
of any of its proceedings is the name of any
private mentioned, nor is there in. any di
rection the smallest evidence of the presence
of this lowly but often valuable factor of
war.
The persons present at these gatherings
who .ire members of the body would not call
themselves the Army of the Tennessee un
leaartl ■>■ were the army of Tennessee.
.'-*t they- were not all that their name
claims them to be, they would be guilty of
deceit. If they were only the officers ■of the
army referred to, they would term themselves
the officers of the Army of the Tennessee.
Hut, as they do not thus class themselves, it
must be that they are what they claim to be,
that is the Army of the Tennessee. They
are the persons and the only men who pene
trated the south and wound up the rebellion.
Meanwhile what has become of th<; rank
and fllt v that belonged to some of the other
annies — other armies than the army of the
Tennessee— or were there no private soldiers,
or if there were any, did they do none of
Che fighting! There are reunions of the army
il the Cumberland, the army of the Potomac
ami various other aroalea, in no one of
which there appears a person who once car
ried a musket. There is some
thing odd in this phase of things
at the present time. There an every where
armies thai meet, congratulate each other on
their deeds and their gallantry, and in none
5* them is there that once famous character,
the 1 1 " _ " i private. [a it a fiction that there
ivari 1 privates in the war, and if there ware
a?iv, v. ': it has become of them .

THE IOWA UVTRAGV.
Tn lowa there is trouble in the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. On "Wednes
day, in lowa City, once the capital of the
state, and now a pretentious place, a law3er
who had prosecnted a violation of the pro
hibitory law, was seized, stripped, and given
a coat of tar; and it is added that had the
mob caught the principal witness they would
not have stopped at tarring and feathering,
but would have hanged him.
The public sentiment of this country while
divided a 9 to methods of reform Is a unit in
the conviction that intemperance is the most
serious evil of the aije, and even those who
are ppposed to statutory means of repression
are not disposed to goto the extent of sym
pathising with the attempt of mobs to inter
fere with the legitimate action of prohib
itory laws. They feel that while the law
may not ' be the proper thing to
present as the remedy for the great evil of
the nation, they are unwilling to see it
treated other tba'b with due respect; and
hence there is chrnger that this lawnessness
may have the effect to create sympathy for
prohibition among the classes who do not
regard it as a wise measure. There are
many anti-prohibitionists who will radically
change their views if they discover that ef
forts are being made to oppose the law other
wise than by legal methods. In fine, if there
is going to be anything in the nature of tar
ring and feathering men who are simply do
ing their duty under this law, there will
come a revolution in public sentiment, and
there will be a dozen prohibitionists where
there is but one now.
Every time a mob tars and feathers a law
yer for prosecuting a violation of the prohib
itory iaw, there will be several hundred con
verts to the doctrines of prohibition. This is
particularly likely to be the ease when it is
known that mob violence is limited to citi
zens of foreign birth. It will not be thought
a decent thing for people of other countries
to come here and undertake to defeat vi et
armti what the native citizen endures in
patiene, and for whose remedy be is
willing to rely on the courts, or the
correction of public sentiment. Oar people
are apt to view with something in the nature
of jealousy the attempts of any outsiders to
reform our methods by the old system of
violence. The anti-Prohibitionists ought to
be aware of the fact that nothing will
strengthen prohibition more rapidly than
anything in the nature of mob interference
with existing laws. Abolitionism only com
menced flourishing when the mob took hold
of the matter and shot and hanged a few of
its professor.
WMXIXfi A DMISSIOXS.
Some Republican papers affect to ign ore
the revelation of ''Major' .Blame's seductive
misdoings at Millersburg. Kentucky, while
others, with a brazen audacity worthy of
their chief, stoutly and vigorously deny its
truth; while others admit the facts, with ex
cusatory objurgations.
For example, the Chicago Herald, while
not denying, thinks it too bad to arraign Mr.
Blame on such charges, because he has a
wife and grown up sous and daughters, who
will be greatly distressed thereby. The Bar
did thus snivels over the laches
of the culpable "major" assuming that his
Borrowing family ought to shield him from
even from just criticism. The Herald seems
to think it ail well enough for Cleveland to be
made the object of venomous and atrocious
misreprepresenting scandals, because he
, has no family to be aijected by them: and
yet, he has sisters and other relatives to
whom his .personal reputation is as dear as
Blaise's can be to his family.
Personal reputation being dragged into the
canvass by the Republicans, their candidate
cannot escape the just criticism of his pri
vate vices, no less than his public wrong
doing, however much the sensibilities of his
family may be wounded. It is their misfor
tune that the husband ami father is tattooed
with loathsome personal vices, and dishonesty
and corruption in official positions. Seeking
the highest place in the government It is but
just that the people should be fully informed
of his private and public misconduct without
regard to his present psrsooaJ surroundings,
and It is a mere begging of the question to
attempt to shield him from deserved oblo
quy, because of the feelings of his family.
If they are disreputably connected in life,
they must take the consequences and make
the best of the situation. If the Republicans
assail the moral character of the Democratic
candidate, and claim superior virtue for their
candidate, a truthful, anezaggsrated expos
ure of the latter is not only justifiable but a
deserved retribution.
Again the Chicago ifiust, not 'denying the
Millers burg, Kentucky, charges against
"Major" Blame admits thsm by excusing
him on the ground that his offence was
committed in hie adolescent minority, • be
fore he had reached th,- ago of moral respon
sibility, being only nineteen years of age!
This is about as forcible as the excuse ■ of a
girl who had given birth to a baby, who
thought it on necessary to make such a fuss
about it, as, it m i< only xitch a liltle thing I
But the Xe>os goes still further, and attempts
to break the force of Blame's libertinism, on
the ground that the girl whom he seduced
and ruined has been long since dead!
This exhibits, a moral obtuseness on the
part of the vindicator truly amazing. What,
excuse the wanton libertine on the ground
that the victim of his seduction, ruined, dis
graced, was driven to an early grave !
It Is but a sorry exhibit of human deprav
ity, to witness , a partisan press, assail*
ing Governor Cleveland on charges of al
leged £rro«* immorality, and apologizing for
Mr. Elaine's undented libertinism, on the
grounds above stated. It is but a poor at
tempt to defend the indefensible and is but
an aggravation of the baseness, that laid that
heart-broken victim of outrageous wrong, in
a lonely, Kentucky grave, over which the
night winds breath their solitary requiem,
and the night-ilews give forth the sem
blance of pitying- tears, while
the proa 1 de.-: • '.v. r with his waving plumes
strut* for! > I i grasp the executive power of a
mighty realm. Partisan iniquity cannot
well go further, when ribald abuse, and
gross, unscrupulous, fabricated scandal is
ujapt'J njKin another, to defend and shield
the despoHcr of virgin innocence and the
detected beneficiary of colossal, official cor
ruption. A campaign waged in the develop
ment of such elements bodes no good to the
moral welfare of the country, and it is alike
dishonoring to tratJj, decency and justice,
and in true manliuess.
With a candidate of such diversified un
worthy characteristics, private, public, per
sonal and ■:!;.;:.;. . it seem* natural, if not
appropriate, that the He publican partisans
would inaugurate a campaign ■ of lies and
scurrility. This they have done, and it re
suunds for November to disclose , the result
iof such an unprecedented contest. . . .

could beg was almost all given to tlu child, ■ and
the woman had even sold her shoes and - outer
garments. The scene of the mimic auction was
made more repulsive by the heartless actions of

.What .Was Seen and What Was Suggested
By the Vision.
The Charlestown Navy Yard, the Old New
State i use. and a Wail of Sympathy.
[Special Correspondence of the Globe. 1 '
"DAY NO. 3"— CONCLUDED.
As my visit to "The Old South," with
which I rent my "Day No. 8" in Boston in
twain, had inspired me with a somewhat
military fervor, I next turned my steps to
the United States Navy yard. My previous
acquaintance with Mr. Bunker on Breed's
Hill, had enabled me to locate the. navy
yard by aid of Mr. Bunker's monument,
without repairing to Scollay square and con
sulting Mr. Wiuthrop for a starting point.
By the aid of a herdic (we are great on herd
iQs in Boston) I was soon over the river
and at tae gateway of the famous
Charlestown Navy yard. As ;, W3 drove
through the gates there were two sentinels
stationed at the guard house, one of whom
asked me my business. I told him I was an
American citizen on a tour of inspection,
and he immediately surrendered at discre
tion and extended me the freedom of the
yard. He probably did this from the fact
that he knew "no guilty man could escape,",
save by passing out the same gate by which
he entered, and if a visitor should essay to fill
his pockets with cannon balls, or shoulder a
cannon, or eve,n swallow a Milwaukee
"schooner," he would be sure of ultimate
detection.
As I looked about me I was profoundly
impressed with the powerfulness of the great
American navy. I was within an
enclosure embracing eighty acres of
land, with a high wall on three sides and a
river front on the fourth. There were pleas
ant officer's residences on the rear of the
grounds, there was an ample parade ground,
there were quarters for the men, there was a
medical dispensary, long buildings for wood
and iron work, and a spacious dry dock
341 feet long by 80 wide, which was built
over fifty years ago at a cost of nearly three
quarters of a million dollars. It was liter
ally a navy yard without a navy. It looked
for all the world as though it was the site
Goldsmith had just visited when he was
moved to write his "Deserted Village."
There were a few uniformed loungers in
front of what looked like a long, low hotel
in the rear, of the parade grounds,
but which, in warlike terms, I
suppose I should term barracks. There was
a little squad of twelve or fifteen soldiers be
ing put through the motions ny a drill ser
geant. They were soldiers, not sailors, and
I suppose the navy yard is used by soldiers
instead of midshipmen, because our navy
fights on laud instead of on water. Jolly
Jack Tars these land lubbers make. The
workshops were all closed and deserted.
The dry dock had two or three men at the
bottom scraping moss off from the stones, in
order to keep their memories and fingers
green, relative to the navy that we haven't
got, and are not likely to get. . ,
;. I only saw one real laborious person on
the grounds. In fact I might say that be
sides a few other visitors there was but one
solitary individual outside of the dry dock, to
be found in the fifty acres of space immed
iately fronting on the river. He was
a man of perhaps sixty years
of age and was very industriously engaged
in—
Painting cannon balls red.
This was warlike Indeed. There were rows
of cannon of various sizes, perhaps two or
three hundred all told, lying upon timbers in
the yard and several thousand cannon balls
piled up in pyramids adjacent to the cannon.
The government evidently desires to have
something gory about the affair and hence
have employed this old gentleman to paint
the balls red. It was a happy thought. If
they should ever be used, our opponents
would think we had so many fighting men
that we made tanks of blood out of the slain
and dipped the cannon balls in the ghastly
fluid that they might the more certainly
mingle with the blood of our enemies
and illustrate the maxim that
•'whoso sheddcth man's blood by
man shall his blood be shed." It would
impress an enemy with the idea that we had
lots of fighting material to spare, when we
could afford to boil our wounded up into
blood to tone up the big bullets.
It occurred to me besides that Secretary
Chandler might have ordered this red paint
decoration after his # correspondence with
Vice President Hendricks, in order to have
something on hand that looked savage, even
if it : was very tame. But these are mere
volunteer reflections, evolved from " the
depths of my inner consciousness upon be
holding the old duffer engaged in his bel
ligerent task. I asked him if he belonged to
the navy, but he paid "no," which relieved
me some, as I did not know but he was a
pirate who sailed with C»pt, Kidd in the
long ago.
"What arc you painting those balls red
for," I ventured toconumdrumize.
"I dunno," was the response.
As I could see no trace of a base ball artist
in his countenance, I concluded that he was
neither a pitcher or catcher, and probably his ;
answer covered the entire ease. " I accord
ingly left him to his solitude and red paint.
THE WAHASH.
! Out in the Charles river, about three hun
dred feet from the shore sea wall lay the man
of-war Wflbash at anchor. A wire rope stretches
from. the vessel to the shore and a canopy
covered barge is propelled along the wire
rope from the shore to the boat, two sailors
running the wheel with a crank. A naval
officer of a minor grade accompanies the
barge, back and forth to guard against sur
prises or the importation or anything contra
band of war. The barge lay at the side of
the vessel when I reached • the
shore , point of connection and
the officer, apparently divining
that something was wanted, had the crank
get in motion and came over go get me. It
was the work of but a minute or 'two to reach
the ship, and entering at a port, or some
other hole in the side, I ascended a long
flight of stairs. At the top I encountered a
guard in naval uniform, who inquired my
business.
• I told him I wanted to look the thing over
to see how we conduct bloodshed on the sea.
He promptly escorted me to a sort of glass
case apartment about the center of the . ship,
and notified the officer in charge that a vis
i itor desired to inspect the ship. The officer
i was busy writing but be courteously desisted
! and stepping out on deck and planting him
; self squarely on his pins, shouted
"Messenger!*' ,
.No one responded at the moment, but the
rail was repeated and presently a boy, per
haps eighteen, appeared. He was dressed
1 in the conventional blue naval uniform' as
were all the others, and for short I might
term him "the little middy." The officer
said, ''show the gentleman the ship," and
returned to his desk while "the little middy"
led the way and I followed up stairs
! and down • stairs, and in and about
I all fi the ; nooks . and' • comers
; oar united efforts could find. In the lower
i portion of the ship there were massive tim
! bers and long rows of cannon thrusting their
muzzles out of the port boles, and if there
bad only been some red cannon ball* visible
I should hare thought the warlike air meant
business. There was also a supply of Gat
ling guns on the upper deck which looked
rather murderous. The ship was scrupulously
clean and . the oak floors shin
! ingly ■ polished. • The . kitchen . -was
| a '- model, both for - mechanical . conve
niences and tidiness. Outside of those '
Working in the kitchen and a party eating at
a mess table, I saw no labor being performed
anywhere on board ship. Sentinels were
pacing here and there, but for the most part
the men were standing about in an idle and
listless manner. Some of them were being
visited by their wives and children and were
having quiet little picnics with the young
sters. ,
"Where was the ship built," I said to "the
little middy" as we walked about.
"In New York, sir," he replied.
"How long ago?"
"About eleven years."
"How long hns it lain here?"
"Ever since It was completed."
"How many men are there on board
now?"
"About one hundred "
"Do they have that number on tbe ship
all the time?"
"Oh, no. Sometimes there are only fif
teen or twenty. You see this is the training
ship and they send men here to learn."
"Are you duly enlisted in the navy?"
"Not^-et. lam not quite old enough, but
I expect to enlist as soon as lean."
"Do tho men have much to doJ"
"Well, considerable. They have to go
through with their exercises, do guard duty,
keep the ship in order and clean, and alto
gether it makes a good deal of work."
I think "the little middy" was mistaken
iv saying that tbe vessel had lain there
eleven years, but I know she has been there
several years, and I thought I would not dis
turb the equanimity of the uncivil Bostouese
by asking questions, and hence I give "the
little middy's'' story uncontradicted.
I went down the long flight of stairs to the
barge in waiting and as I looked back and
up she looked a monster indeed, though 1.-er
wood sides did not seem entirely impervious
to cannon balls painted red, if they were go
ing pretty fast. v There were half a dozen
ladies and children, and three naval oflicc-rs
on board in citizen's clothes, when the barge
officer gave the signal and the men at the
crank gave tbe wheel a turn. As the barge
moved off from the ship there was
a sharp ring of two bells, and the men re
versed the crank and brought the barge up to
the ship again. We waited long enough to
have made the trip over to the shore, when a
portly man, wearing a grey mixed suit of
citizen's clothes, came on board. There
was a scowl upon his brow and a roll of pa
per in his hand, and I was instantly im
pressed with the idea that I was tn the pres
ence of a —
Superior Being,
With a big capital letter for each word.
The naval officers took off their hats obseq
uiously, the men at the crank thrust their
hats into their armpits and doubled them
selves up as though a green apple had just at
that moment inaugurated a game of cramp
colic in their abdomens, while the barge
officer also doffed his tile in defer
ence to the Great Presence. I think the Sup
erior Being and myself were the only ones,
besides the ladies, who kept our hats
on. In fact when I looked at that scowl
and saw the other hats come off, I pulled my
own hat on a little harder to make sure that
it should not get off by accident. Physically,
I might have been induced to look with con
siderable respect upon the Superior Being,
for be was a husky six-footer and propor
tioned accordingly, but as he strode brusquely
in front of some of the ladies and took a
scat, I don't think I could have been tor
tured into sufficient mental respect
to have taken my hat off.
As soon as tbe barge touched the sea wall the
Superior Being arose with the mammoth
frown still clouding bis brow, and again
brushing past the ladies was the first to leave
the barge, while the hat removing process
was again repeated by the men. He strode
off with an air which seemed to say —
"I'm the chap who made the Creator of
the Universe, and if you don'tbelieve it look
at that frown on my brow."
There is a broad somewhat across lots side
walk which affords a short cut to the officers
quarters from the barge landing, and
another narrow walk at right angles across
the grounds, making the distance at least
twice as far. The general publtc use the
broad walk, and the narrow one Is evidently
a little exclusive, and the Superior Being
took the narrow walk, looking neither to the
right or the left. I expected that
frown would swell up like the
coming in of the ocean tide
and tbrcw the bat off from the head of the
Superior Being, but as far as I could sec him
In; returned his tile in the proper place until
he disappeared behind the. trees in front of
the residences.
The Superior Being in whose mighty pres
ence, and under the shadow of whose awful
frown I had survived for perhaps three min
utes, was Csipt. Vance, the commander of
the W.ibash. Just what there
is about being in charge of
an idic vessel anchored off an empty navy
yard, to make such a Superior Being, life is
too short to fathom, but I shall always con
gratulate myself that I kept my hat on. Iv
fact I think nothing short of one of the Gat
ling guns 1 had just seen could have gotten
my hat off at that particular period of my
history.
The sentinels were sitting listlessly at the
cate as I passed out of the empty yard, and
the venerable duller was Btill painting the
balls red as I turned my face Bostonwards
and was soon again iv the center of beans
and "culchaw."
BEACON' HILL.
If there is any one thing which the F. F.
ffirst families) of tbe Bostone6e hold in holy
horror it is Ben Butler. They rejoice when
they hear the little puddle in the common
called "The Frog Pond," and they don't mind
making a twenty cent speculation out of the
glorious memories of Bunker bill, but they
can never forgive tbe man who told the
world that they tanned the hides of the pau
pers in the Tewkesbury alrnshouse. It was a
mixed desire to see a building around which
cluster historic memories of early day.-t, and
the more recent memory of the. presiding
genius of Ben Butler, that I turned my steps
to tbe state bouse on Bea
con hill with Its gilded dome.
Though | this building ia nearly ninety
years old it ranks, by comparison with tbe
"Old State House" of the revolution at tbe
head of State street, as a new State House.
This new State House i« 17tfx61 and 110 feet
high, the original cost being $133,000 and
with its additions and improvements It has
coat bat little if any more than the monu
ment of Buffington's incapacity (which is
now tumbling down) has cost Minnesota.
There are heavy iron gates at the sidewalk
and a broad flight of stone steps with terraced
landing*, leading up through a small
lawn to tbe building. Entering the main
corridor, msrble statues of Washington and
Gov. Andrews, and bronze statues of Horace
Mann and Daniel Webster confront tbe vis
itor. Tbere are busts of Samuel Adams,
andfcincolc and Sssinct and Henry Wilson
and an exquisitly arr&ajfed room or alcove
with a glass front for the prsservatlon of tbe
battle flags of Massachusetts brought back
by her gallant soldiers who from
the day Bntler marched through
Baltimore, to tbe appletree conference at
Appotnatox, bore so illustrious, honorable
and conspicuous a part.
Tbe House of Representatives is a very
large room, and needs to be, for under their
apportionment there are about fire hundred
members. Tbere is no room for each mem
ber to have a desk, as in our legislative ball,
but tbe back of each chair has a sbelf, upon
which tbe member sitting in tbe rear can
i write, and under tbe chairs tbere are
pouebes for keeping papers and documents.
' A huge gilded tin codfish bangs in this hall,
baring been taken from tbe old State House
where it bung more than one hundred yean
ago. It was originally put up as an emblem
of tbe importance of tbe codfish trade. It
i
almost made we Inclined to go out aud buy a
glass of water — "only one cent" — to Bee that
gilded fish, as it recalled the amount of salt
I have consumed aud thirst I have endured
because the thrifty Bostonese used to
sell the nine parts salt to one of meat out
west at a- shilling a pound and call it fish.
It is no wonder that Boston could grow rich
when she could put a five pound cod into a
barrel of salt and sell the whole thing for
meat. It is also no wonder that they bold
in reverence and embalm in gilded tin this
emblem of the basis of their fortunes and
prosperity. There never was a more vivid
illustration of the eternal fitness of things,
and a 6tatue of Butler, swinging aloft a
tanned hide of a Tewksbilry pauper, is the
only thing necessary to make this old "new
State house" a thing of beauty and a joy
forever.
The senate chamber Is at the east end of
the building, the governor and the other
state officers at the west end, and the ball of
the house, with its tin fish, in the center.
From the sidewalk to the top of the gilded
dome there are 217 steps, and as the building
is on a hill the view from the cupola Is com
manding. It was late in- the day when I
called and the janitor was closing the
building, but as there were a number of vis
itors besides myself, he kindly turned over
the keys to me and placed me in charge of
all the building above the first floor, on con
dition that I "would not lock any one in."
Tbe visitors accordingly proceeded to climb
and view of the city proper from the cupola
is really superior to that from the top of
Bunker Hill. So many of the party — utter
strangers "to me — wished to linger that I
found I had taken a large and long contract
by agreeing "not to lock any one in," but I
braced myself up by recollection of Cassibiauca
who "stood on the burning deck, eating pea
nuts by the peck," when all the rest had
fled, and I discharged the "trust" with as
great fidelity as J. B. Gilflllan displays in
hanging on to his bogus nomination because
it is a "trust he cannot repudiate." As far
as I know I did not "lock any one in," and
I resigned my custodianship of the Massa
chusetss State and went out for
a stroll on the Common just as
thg sun was disappearing beneath the azuiv
blue (we talk poetry in Boston), and the
electric lights were beginning to pour their
silver rays upon "The Frog Pond." The
Bostonese joined me quite numerously upon
my stroll, and while I enjoyed my rambles
along the shady walks with the "culchaw,''
I reflectively sympathized with them. I
thought how little I knew of Boston three
days ago, and contrasted it with how
much I thought I knew at the end
of "Day No. 8," and how little that
actual knowledge was after all, and then I
thought of the Bostonese, who live on the
memories of the pi*t,and the glories of Bun
ker Hill and other historic spots mixed with
fish and ba^ced beans, but who have never
seen the great west or the glories of St. Pan!,
and my heart of hearts aud soul of souls,
went out all over to and at them, until a n cl
light of sympathy seemed to spring up from
the green sward of the common, and I sighed
for the opportunity they were losing to "grow
up with the country." H. P. H.
THE MOREY LETTER.
Its Origin Claimed to have been Dis
covered in the Person of H.
H. Hartley.
New York, Aug. 15.— The lone delayed
expose by United States Commissioner John
I. Davenport of the More)' letter will be pub
lished to-morrow morning. It makes a book
of 150 pages. It is largely made up of fac
similiesof documents, showing forgery in its
various forms. The narrative is ouly a brief
part of the whole volume. The book
sets forth that the person who actually
penned the forged letter was a lawyer of
this city named 11. 11. Hadley. Davenport
describes him as a manipulator of insurance
companies of doubtful character, and of other
matters equally precarious, with an innate
love of intrigue, and with a craving for noto
riety and an unconquerable desire to dip into
polities and to correspond with public men.
lie quotes from his letters to show he was
always a Democrat, though at the
time of the commission of the forgery
he was secretary of the Hancock Republican
association, in the rooms of which the forgery
was committed on or about October 3, 1880.
The forgery, according to Hadley'a admis
sions and confirmatory evidence, collected
by Davenport, was originally in the form of
an extract from a supposed interview with
Gen. Qarfield. Davenport possessed himself of
about I,OOP letters written by Hadley between
1873 and 1879, and finds all the distinguish
ing marks of orthography and callgrapby
alike in them and the forged letter. Hadley
always misspelled the word "'religiously" as
it was misspelled in the forged letter, and
all nouns ending "ies" such as "comp
anies," "copies," "enemies," he spelled
the final "ys" as the word "coin
panys" ■ appears in the forged
letters. In his genuine correspondence
Hadley invariably dotted the letter 'vi"
when it occurred In a word containing an
"I" as in the signature to the forged letter.
Hundreds of fac-simile reproductions proves
this conclusively. It was on display of this
evidence; of guilt thai Hadley confessed his
part in the crime. Hadley admits he wrote
H. L. Morey in the register at the Kirkland
bouse, at Lynn, and substituted it for the
name of Gco. K. C. Morey in the affidavit of
Mrs. Clara Morey, declaring he was her son.
These forgeries were made to sustain the or
iginal forgery. There was no such man as
H. L. Morey, to whom the forged letter was
Supposed to have been written. Nor w;is
there even any such person as Jno. W.
Goodall, who claims to have been
the executor of 11. L. Morely and who trans
mitted the. forged letter to Truth. Hadley
wrote the Goodral letter?, also Davenport
also says that a week or ten days before the
publication in Truth .of the Morey letter,
Chas. A. Dana, of the New York Sun was
told that such a letter was in existence, and,
on bis expressing a doubt thereof, ' his in
formant assured him such was the case, and
that he believed he could obtain it and show
it to him, Dana. To this Mr. Dana
replied that be did not care to see It, for the
reason that he believed if any such letter was
in existence It was forgery, and he asked to
have nothing to do with it. Lindsley, like
Morey, was a fictitious person, and the man
O'Brien, who personated him on the Philip
examinaton, was arrested for forgery and
confessed, and is now serving a term in
prison for that offense. The language of the
Morey letter is shown to have, been culled
from speeches of Cutter of Hew Jersey,
Williams of Wisconsin, Phillips of Kansas,
Luttrell of California, and others.
On the Chinese bill, and from the testimony of
Hfiiry George and others, before the house com
mittee on Chinese immigration; and in no tense
are extracts from Oarflcld'a writing. A copy of
the account of Garficld with the etationery clerk
of the house, for the session of March i to De
cember 23, 1879, shows 4>arfield never used
paper with the peculiar heading of the sheet on
which the forged letter wju written, and that the
style of paper was never issued except during
the time indicated. *
WESTERN TRUNK LINES.
The Seven Party Agreement Never
Folly Ratified.
, f Special Telegram to the Globe.f
Chicago, Aug. 15. — The Northwestern p<sßcy
toward the Western Trunk line association is
still extensively commented upon in railway
circles. - It is not clearly understood why the
Northwestern < does not _ formally withdraw
from i the association rather than
abrogate all the provisions of the
agreement and still maintain a tort pseudo
membership. It has been suggested that Mr.
Hagbitt does not think a formal withdrawal neces
t ary from the fact that the agreement to which
it subscribed was never ratified by
one of the parties, and the seven party
, pool is said, therefore, ■ never to
have . had - actual existence. The fact that
the Bock Island, St. Paul and Northern Pacific
do cot attempt to hold the Northwestern to the
agreement i« cited m evidence that they take
this view of the cane. , Mr. Cable laid jester- ,
day that no effort had been made to hold the
Northwestern to the agreement, because it had
been fully ratified, were it otherwise steps would
be taken to make the deserting line
abide by the contract. There will probably not
be another meeting of the Western Trunk Line
association until after the general committee
meets, which will hardly be called together until
Sept. 1.
REVOLT AGAINST BUTLER.
The Prospects ot the Man With Two
Nominations Said to be
Waning;.
, [Special Telegram to the Globe. |
Chicago, Aug. 15.— revolt exists in Illinois
at present against Ben Butler, ii is claimed by
hi? friends that in of small proportions and will
be speedily put down. His opponent!, on the
contrary, represent that it is of an important ex
tent and cannot be easily suppressed. Batler
owes his present prominence entirely to hi- nomi
nation by the Oreenbackera, who are of such
numbers and importance in any campaign that
they are not to be lightly regarded. The iinti-
I monopolists, (so called) in convention assembled
j ratified the Greenback choice of the cock eyed
son of destiny. There are plenty of people who
say that the anti-monopolist convention wns a
reconvention of the Oreenbackers, bat the fact
has gone out that Butler has been nominated liv
two separate parties for president, and it carries
more or less weight.
Since the nomination Gen. Butler's workers
have riot been idle. With his two nominatioaa
| as a nucleus they have gathered around them
{ somewhat of a following, which may increase oi
i dwindle away as the campaign progresses. But
; however many converts they may make outside
of the Greenbacks.- and Anti-monopolists are
still desirable as voters. This defection, there
is good reason to think, has com
menced in Illinois, and tiio Butler managers
have before them the pro.-]). •■•is of seeing their
best loaders bought up by the Republicans and
Democrats and turned against the .Massachusetts
man, for whom until now they have expressed
undying allegiance and never ceasing loyalty.
The first defections in the ranks is A. 11. Mc-
Keighan, chairman of th:- Illinois state Green
back committee. This committee is the he^d
and front of the Greenbackera strength in the
state. The Greenbackers and ante-Monopolists
j pooled their issues nationally and selected But
I ler as the candidate for president of Dots
! parties, and the agreement in all the states hat
been that coalition should continue in the state,
j and together the Greenbackers and Anti-inonop
I olists should nominate state tickets with this un
: derstanding. Z. Waters, chairman of the state
Anti-monopoly committee, called a general 9tata
convention of Greenbackers and Anti-monopo
■ lists to meet at Bloomington, August 19, and
I nominate a state ticket. The call was Issued by
the consent of A. 11. McKeigan a month ago.
In '.he meantime, however, McEeigan has.it
I is claimed, without effort at secrecy, boldly de
serted the Greenback cause for the Republi
cans. Having accepted service at the hands of
, the Republicans, be proceeded to act at their
dilation, which was to ignore the coalition with
the anti-monopolist, cull a Greenback state con
vention, and in that convention decide thai
; nominations for state officers this year were in
expedient anil unnecessary. tie sold no rule
1 would bind them, and the Greenback strength,
being subtracted from the anti-monopolists, the
| latter having a very inefficient organization In
I the state, were expected to go to pieces and vote
solid against Cleveland on the' representation
I that he was the friend of monopolists k. a
foimer railroad attorney.
