In the summer of 1897, a member Of C,opr,os,
from South Carolina. while on visit 10 Bos,o sts
ted to me, through David Henshaw aud Andrew
DnniaP' tn Dun Green wished TO connec. with
himself IN conducting the Telegraph, some person
from the New England States who was not witbo,,t
experience in political controversy, and who could
furnish some pecuniary capital. After a correspon-
Gence with Duff Green on the subject, met him az
New York, at his own request, about the las, OF
OCTOBER, 1897, TOR tile purpose of comforting with
nm upon the proposed association. In this inter-
view, he stated that tie patronage Of his paper was
great and raidy increasing that the paper alone
would afford large profit and that the profit OF
printing for the Senate during the session then To
enSue, would not be less than Sc 900; that he then
Considered his establishment To- be worth, ut u mode
rate computation, less than $50 0O0 that in the
event OF Gen. Jacksons election, it would become
! by increase of Executive and Congressional pat
ronage, worth much more; and that he teemc. II
a sure source of large fortune within short time
he then exhibited statement, showing the amount
OF patronage conferred upon the Telegraph to thar
time, in subscriptions, advertising and miscellaneous
job printing, and showing also the amount of his ex
penscs Tor labor, materials, Sc. from which the mo-,
income OF the paper alone appeared to be not le,s
than 1000. lie also stated that the debts H.
due by him on account Of the Telegraph, Amounted
10 about 10000.
On my stating my readiness to hear and consider Of
any proposition winch he was then prepared to make
lie SAID that, having incurred the risk labor and ov
pciise OF establishing and building I'D the eleo,on
twhlch assertions We're iaise and being able 70 bro

selling any portion OF IT. To relinquis sontroli;r
influence ITS editorial departments for rs in cn
of disagreement between its editors upon anv mn,

useless, OF one o! them must decide and prescrih ,
course, the right OF such decision would eoutsblv
be.ong TO him who had incurred the labor ana rrsno
siohtles OF founding IT, | admitted the equity of
tins claim but saying that would enter into no cor
nectlon that presented the remotest probability of
collision with my associate, requested an ntercbono
aud comparison OF political views, for the purpose Of
ascertuimng whether such collision were probable

compelled to repeat for deplorabe is the basenes
oi DUH Green, that cannot consent 10 the imputa
t'on oi having agreed with him any thing, witLou,
giving 10 the public full explanation
In this conversation, frankly and explicitly stated
my views concerning of the questions tlns
would probably be agitated, either during the cur
test thc pea4ing, or after the election of Gen. Jack
son; aud particularly concerning protection to mar

his election, contest for his successor un;icilr

decidedly IN favor of the protective system was n.
advocate OF tariff that would equally protect the q
rIcuurc, c"Ina rec and manufactures of the Union
and opp sed 10 all violent changes in the domestic ar
foreign relations OF the country, sacrificing tire
interests of the whole to those of any one section

from New York, the 9th from South Carolina men.
toned as likely TO become opposing candidates and
that of these two my individual preference might be
for the former; but that, having always been fcpul-
lican of the strictes school, should support the
!idate, whoever lie might Ge, that should be de-
| sgnated by the republican party of the nation-
! Thus apparently coDciding in opinion. we agreed
! that, should we associate IN conducting the Tele-
graph and differ upon any question of great national
importance, lac should prescribe the course of the ma
pr such question, and should retain heright Of
generating myself, through the same pepper, from
any participation III such n Course.
then proceeded 10 Washington, for the purpose of
examining the pecuniary OF the TelegraI ,
and agreeing with Daft Green for the proposed pur-
chase. | perceived that the substitution list was
large, but did not then learn. from it's books the eS
act amount OF debts due for it, could then learn
IT. for his extremely loose and ca clcss habits Of b.
sincss, which discovered soon after the commence
mcn OF our partnership rendered IT impossible for
me TO acquire any accurate information of hrs pec.-
mary affairs. To show how correctly and prudenty
! his business was conducted, would state that he
frequently accepted drafts, paid or received money
III the street, without recording the transaction, or
giving any notice of to his clerk, whereby his ac-
ccptanccs often protested, for want of provision
