Previously to efuting these falschooas, will give
oreI history OF my connection with this man
"ilch am conSt, aimed To- reckon among tho most
unfortunate events of my life, having associated
my name IN any manner, with that of one whom all
honest and honorcte men must dIscwn.
In the summer of 1897, a member of Corprees
rom south Carolina, while visit to Boston, sta
Ieu TO me, through David Henshaw and Andrew
Iuniap, tn Duff Green wished TO connoc. with
himself In conducting the Telegraph some nersnn
from the New Engand States Who was not without
experience IN political controversy, and who could
| lirhish some pecunary capital After correspon
dence with Duff Green on the subject I met him, nt
New York, at his request, uhout the last Of
october, 1927, for the purpose of confcrrinp with
nm: upon tis proposed association. In this inter
view, he stated That The patronage of bis paper was
great and raidly increasing; that the papsr alone
would afford large profit; and that the profit of
printing ior the Senate during the session then to
enSue, would not be less than Sc OOO that he fbe,,
considered his establishment to be worth at a mode.
rae computation not less than $50 COO; that in the
CIV OF ueh 5acksons election, it would become,
/ by increase of Executive and Congressional nat
ronage, worth much more; and that he doom, 4 !,

lie then exhibited statement, showing the amount
OF patronage conferred upon the Telegraph to tha,
:ime IN subscriptions, advertising and miscellaneous
JOB printing, and showing also the amount of his en-
penscs tor labor, materials, &c. from which the neat
income OF the paper alone appeared to be not le,s
than ) 10 600. He also stated that the debts tbon
due by him on account of the Telegraph amounicd
! to about & 0oO0.
On my stating my readiness to hear and consider or

he said that having incurred the risk labor and ey
ptnse ot establishing and building up the Teeorsph
Vh,ch assertions were fase) and being able to pro-
cecd without an associate, he was not disposed il,
selling any portion of it, to relinquish eontrulin,,
influence over its editorial department; for as IN cas-.
OF aisagreerent between It's editors upon any impor-
'aht national question, The paper must be silent ind
useless or one of them must decide and prescribe -,
course, the right of such decision would equitahy
belong to HIM who had incurred the labor and re.ron
sinNltes OF founding It, admitted the equity Of
this claims but saying that would enter into no Con,
necton that presented the remotest probability -,
COLLISION with my associate, requested Interchange,
and comparison OF political views for the purpose ar
ascertainirg whether such collision were probable
a conversation ensucd, the subtance of which G..
compelled to repeat for so deporabe is the baseness
OF Dull Green, that cannot consent to the imnItn
ton OF having agreed with him IN any thine wit.nI-,
giving to the public full explanation.
In tins conversation, frankly and explicitly stated
my views concerning of the questions TIN
would probably be agitated, either during the con-
test then pending, or after the election of Cen JacL-
son; and particularly concerning protection to mar
u!actsres, and the presidential election ofier g.,
Jackson retirement, for ut that period before
his election, contest for his successor was anteira
ted. Upon the first question stated that altLouo,
decdedy IN favor OF the protective system, was tie
advocate OF tariff that would equally protect the no.
rlculture, commerce ana manufactures of the E,,;nn
ana opp sed to oil violent changes i'll the domestic or
foreign relations OF the country sacrificing the
Interests of the whole TO those of any ore section

times heard two distinguished individuals tie ON.
from New York, the oth';r from South Carolina men
toned as likely to become opposing candidates ani
that of tf:se two, my individual preference III nht re
for the former; but that, having always been repnh
hcan OF the strictest school, should support the
condldae, whoever he might be, that should no tn

thus apparently coincding in opinion we aureed
that, should we associate in conducting the Tcle-
