Hayes testified that, with the exception
of four or five months, he had been in

pointmeut. Nettleship told him the Dis
trict Attorneys Office contained a safe that

house On Ninth street, where he would
find a man who would introduce him to an
old man named Demain. He would
know the man on Ninth street by his
hawking and coughing. Witness was to

ringtOn and talk with him about the coun-
terfeit money case, and at the same time
locate the safe and locate the entrance 10

After recess, Hays continued his testi-
mony. Nettleship asked him to get man
in New York to do the job. He would be
taken care of, and get the Wardenship of
the New Jersey Penitentiary. NettleShip
told the witness TO get some one to blow
the safe who had served term in prison,
so his eStimOny would be worthless.
Now You See it and Now You Don't
Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
The National Republican contains a
doubIe-leaded editorial stating that after
the routine business had been transacted at
the Cabinet meeting yesterday, the third
term question came up for discussion, the
topic having been suggested by Gov. DiX's
Cooper Institute speech. The article
says:
sThe President embraced this opportuni-
ty to say that he regarded the agitation of
this question as due solely to the newspa-
pers, who had started it for the purpose of
creating a sensation, and directing atten-
tion to themselves. As for his making any
statement on the subject, he had never
thought of such thing, nor had he ever
talked or the subject with any one. He
did not think it would compOrt with his
dignity as President of the United States
to make a statement on this question in
response to the clamOrs of the newspa-
pers."
The special correspondent of the Nelg
York Republic, the recognized organ Of
the Administration, telegraphed a similar
statement last night to that paper.
1t is asce~tained to-day that some of the
parties TO the discussion have authorized
denial that the President did express him
self on the subject. There is no doubt
of the truth of the statement that
the discussion did take place, and the
President reiterated his declaration of
Saturday last, as set forth in these dis
patches Sunday night, and substantially
repeated by the Republican to-day. This
information comes from the first sources,
and ought to be conclusive.
Why Grant Didn't Want TO Interview
Vice President Wilson.
Ii is stated that the Y ice President had
mind, when he recently called at the White
House, to exhOrt Mr.. Grant on the third
term project. The Vice President has
been greatly exercised with regard 10 this
matter. II is further stated that Mr..
Grant, knowing the object of the visit,
concluded, as life is short, Mr.. Wilson
might 90 shire a hall; At all events, he
refused to let him deliver himself in the
Executive Mansion.
