THE ST. LOUIS STEAL.
THE LATEST CROOKED WHISKY GOSSIP
SCHEMES OF THE PARTICIPANTS.
A st. Louis special to the Chicago Times
Of yesterday says that j. B. Woodward, w
d. N. Barnard and other Grant men are
working up vast amount of political feel.
ing out of the whisky ring. Woodward ID
tt e man who gave Commissioner Douglass
the fullest details of the operations of the
st. Louis whisky ring year before the raid
was made. Douglass counts upon Grant as
bis friend and Bristo " as his enemy. Fe
furnished the Grant faction when he was
here with considerable information OF
which they proposed to make all the
sapital possible. Douglass solemnly de-
clared thai all the proofs of the whisky ring
were In Bristow's hands In March, 1874, and
that he urged Bristow with all the persis-
show, to squelch the ring, but Mr.. Bristow
kept cutting him of, saying the time had
not come. According to woodward and
Barnard, Bristow aud Jewell entered into
an alliance soon after Bristow became
secretary, for the purpose OF defeating
ever since been forcing him into traps.
Jewell has been pushed forward by Bristow
In various schemes calculated to make him
popular, and he. in turn, has abetted Bris-
tow to the gradual
UsURPATIoN OF THE PRESIDENTS PoPU-
LARITY.
Attorney General Pierrepont also Joined
Bristow and Jewell. and Delsno, gaining an
inkling of the plotting, went and revealed
all he knew to Grant. As soon as the presi-
dent was informed of the combination be
sent for Bristow. The latter explained the
matter plausibly and informed Grant that
he had discovered that some revenue OH
Gals, carefully concesling their names and
location, bad been systematically engaged
in robbiDg the government, and be merely
wished to correct this abuse OF official power.
He took advantage of this opportunity to
hint that the suppression of fraud would
win popularity for the president, and he b.
tanned Grants consent to find out and
punish official rsscality wherever il
existed. For this act OF the informer, the
downfall OF DELAY was decided upon. The
Marsh charges, which had been reserved
for several months until q good opportunity
offered, were preferred against Delsno, aud
the opposition to the secretary OF the inte-
rior Yves pushed by Bristow, Jewell & Co.,
until that officer WIS forced to retire. Ex-
Senator Henderson, of Missouri, who has
had no affiliations with Grant and bis bar
room cronies, represents the Missouri wing
of the Bristow element. In accordance with
the general plan Attorney General Pierre
Louis, TO superintend the raid here and
prosecute all suspected parties. Gen.
Henderson's authority has all along ex-
ceeded even that of the prosecuting attor-
ney, for be had carte blanche from Attorney
General PierIepopt 10 pursue whatever
conviction and punishment OF the whisky
ring. Mr.. Pierrepont has entered heartily
into the movement, and opposes Gen.
Grants third term aspirations. Gradually
during the
PROGRESS OF THE WAR ON THE WHISKY RING,
Bristow's object has dawned upon the
rather obtuse presidential mind, and now a
very hostile feeling exists between the two
factions; but Bristow has Unanswered In q
most SUCCESSFUL manner. He has out-gener-
aled Grant completely and on to to-day has
him In his power. By strewd management
be induced Grant to order him publicly
not TO let any guilty man escape This
was the crowning glory OF BristoNs plan
From that moment he wsged his war re-
against the ring, pursuing the
suspected parties even 70 the white house
itself. Grant could not retract that utter
fore he Is compelled to sit idly by and see
his no pes for a third term rapidly vanish
and all the probabilities of success appro-
priated by q man who has Outwltted him.
The attack made upon the presi-
dent by Gen. Henderson in his address
In the Avery case Is said to have been
done 10 accordance with instructions from
Pierrepont, who is de-
sirous OF impressiug upon the people the
degree Of General Grants culpsbility. He
does this not with any particular ill-wili
against the president, but to more ef-
iectually destroy his chances for the re-
nomination, and thus increase those oil bis
sworn ally, Bristow. All these statements
are not wild street rumors, but SIRE conf
dentially discussed, and firmly believed by
the leaders of the third term faction here.
How to defeat Bristow and turn the tide of
popularity ones more In favor of Grant and
against the Kentuckian, Is what they are
planning. They have documents which
they declare they will spring just as soon
as the proper time cUmes, which will show
ct at Bristow delay g the while ks raids for
political effect. From this time on the
whisky prosecutions will be watched csre-
fully from a political stand point. Dyer,
the dis riot attorney, Who mamie s ed an in
cliuation to prOcrssIinate In the B4bcock
as =, has been brought to terms by Hender-
sous threat to abandon him, aud the gov
eminent counsel here are now working
10 the interest of Bristow,
Jewell and Pierrepont. -
