MR. EprroK: Since the appearance Of
the card of Mr. Samuel Davenport, in the
papers of last week, have thought that
perhaps it was due to myself to make q
statement in reference TO matter in which
| seem to be q witness on both sides. Upon
the evening of the last day Of tie Fair,
was present and overheard part of a con-
versation between Messrs. John and Samue
Davenport, in which John remarked to Sam
uel that "He had seen the boys, :hat he
would see .Ell' sld the rest Of them in the
morning, and that il would be all right. -
This is all Of the conversation that heard
1 enough to even know what they were
talking abort There were several persons
in the room. and after the Davenports lett
some of nv friends remarked to me that
was "sold," that 'tthere was bargain" DC.
replied that ! was not scared, and thoughI
but little more Of the matter that evening.
Upon going up street the next morning
found the report of bargain" had gone up
before me, and was creating some excite
ment, and was talked to by several upon
the subject, amongst others by Mr.. Samuel
Davenport. And here my recc lection and
Mr.. Daven2ort's slightly differ. My recol-
lection is tia, Mr. Davenport had been
talked 10 by Mr.. Swaney before We talked.
am confident that :alked to Mr.. Daven-
port after he had talked TO Swaney. He
regretted exceedingly that the report of ga
bargs in" had got out. denying any knowl-
edge or connection with the matter, and
claiming that it was unreasonable to hold
him responsible for Johns acts. did ex-
press myself entirely satisfied with Mr.. ba-
venport's answer, and am still satisfied that
Mr. Davenport did act in good faith toward
me 10 the election; and | think the vote OF
those townships in which my personal
friends live ought to satisfy Mr. Davenport
that acted in the same manner toward
him.
As have been charged in certain quar-
tiers with being the author of the article

qualifiedly that know nothing of its author

WRECK OF THE REINDEER.
LOSS OF TWENTY-ONE LIVES.
GALE AND SNOW STORM ON The L.
From the Chicago Press OF Saturday. ]

:
Monday last may be SIT down as one of
the most fatal days in the year-iatal to lie
and property, both on land and water. In
the morning, upwards Of twenty lives we're
lost by dreadful confagration, and before
n light upw ards OF twenty more lives lay cold
in the embrace of dealt on the shores of
Lake Michigan. 1t was hard day on the
Lakes. II blew most terrific gale, with
a heavy, binding snow storm. We hear of
it along Lake Michigan, up l. Ike Superior,
and can trace il by its work OF disaster along
the shores of the lower Lakes. 1t was only
yesterday, however, tina. we realized TO the
full extent the severity of the gale.
About noon of yesterday the propeller
Mears arrived in port from Big Point Sauble,
bringing news OF the wreck of the Canadian
steamer Reindeer, about eight miles North
OF the Point. She also brought over Chas.
Rove, the Mate of the schooner Alw,dar-
also los;-who communicated to us some Of
the particulars. On Tuesday last, two men
arrived al Point Sauble, almost naked, and
their feet badly frozen, who informed the
people of the neighborhood that they were
fremen on board of the Reipdeer, and that
they ere the sole survivors of the entire
crew-she having been wrecked the pre-
vious evening. They stated that all day
Monday a most terrific gale blew from the

the compass with tremendous sea running
The steamer kept up pretty well all the
forenoon, but in the afternoon she shipped
a heavy sea, which extinguished the fires,
and the captain had no :eeourse left but sci
the helm up and make for the beach.
For several hours in lhe evening, the hur-
ricane and low storm increased in fury
and it was utterly impossible to see TO do
anything. Those on board could only awlit

instantly the sea broke over her, and washed
the whole ere " into the Lake, where twenty
one Of them found watefy graves. The two
men who escaped we're fremen, and they
state that they are utterly unable TO relate
how and in what manner they were saved.
The first they knew after she struck, was
when they found themselves on the rocky
beach. Next day tie steamer was nearly
all broken to pieces, and her timbers and
cargo were strewn along the shore for miles.
