JASON WARE.
Extract of'a Letter from Boston, to a gentleman
in ttis City.
=" hen The Shrewsbury letter was first publish,
ed, presumed that the report OF the rsmirks at
u'euted TO Mir. Stevenson came from MIR. WarI
as ne was at MIR. Dunlap's evening party when
MIR. ~ was there, and diued with him at my ia
bic. MIR. Ward is highly respectable LAWYER in
Shrewsbury, is Jackson man and felt assured
tnat u He MAD given currency TO such a report he
ala 1t from misunderstanding Mr.. S. and / was
sure ne must have mistaken HIM, for while Mr.
was here unders rod him 10 say pre- cise!y the
reverse OF what MIR. Ward stated wrote to Mr..
F" ard on the subject and received from him let
Yer dated Sept 30, 1928, in which he accounts for
ms mistake. The company were nearly all stran-
gers 70 him. lie says, he had been introduced 70
hir - and had " asked wins ether the electoral Law
" oil NJ York could he rep al d?-Ineaning in his
" opinion At that moment some one or more COM
ing up to be introduced to him gave back-The
" ceremony was short, it immediately observ.
" ed by, L thought Mr.. Stevenson, that il would
De, II necessary, TO secure Jacksoas election and
" mat MIR. van Buren, was, &c. Such Il remark,
-" was made and thought il proceeded from Mr.
stevenson, but rs there was one gentleman had
- got between him and me and the room was full.
:" all moving about and talking, il may he was
" in!sta6en-lii am mistaken as TO the man il is
" easy 10 account Tor il from the crowd that was
" there and the number that were talking" He
then goes on TO say that at Mr.. Stones Store in
conversation with Stone, who is warm Adams
man, he repeated the remarks that he had sup.
posed MIR. . sde nut without any expe citation that
II would ever be made subject of newspaper dis
cussion--llc adds, 50 therefore regret extremely
that have even i1lnoces.iy said any thing that
| " may give uneasness TO my friends-What the
, " administration folks please to say and publish
about t,so far as il relates to 7gySeII care not
yet as the truth is not to be spoken at all times
" AN careful what say, and before whom /
speaS."-iie denies having said that he c.ined in
company with Mr.. S., or that he named Mai. En-
tcn-Since Mr.. Ward wrote Inc the above named
letter have seen him. lie is fully convinced
That he mistook the remarks of another for Mr.
> $ ard is excessively mortified that casual con.
'eTsaon o. has should have found its way iuo The
newspapers, and been the cause o. uncasiness 10
his iiienis."
