polling places. The day ia exec ptionally
pleasant and very favorable to calling

necessity, but it is thought that there
will be no OCCASION for their services.

not arrest any one Offering to vote simply
because they are on the black list, but

attempted fraud.

Central Committees all confidence seems
to be felt. though the Democrats show q
waning belief in the election of Piper,

The Presidents Views.

Our limited space preclu1ed the
publication of the Presidents annual
message to congress- In 1t however
he made little or no illusion to the
difficulties arising from the Presiden-
tial election. Last week a live y sen,
saton was caused in political circles
at Washington by the report that a
friendly personal interview had taken
place between Gen. Grant and MIR.
| Hewitt. chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee, and Of course the
confidential friend and advisor of MIR.
Tilden. This was enough to start the
reporters on keen still hunt. 1t was
a confidential talk, but it must have
been talk Of the biggest Importance
But even the New York Herald could
not exactly find out what it was about.
The only way therefore was to manu-
facture something highly interesting
and exciting. Finding that his part
of the interview was in very great
danger Of misrepresentation the Pres
ident concluded few da Us after to
communicate to the public what he
had said, through the au5horlzed me-
dunn of the associated press organl-
cation. The Presidents remark Oh
leading points are thus given as fol.
lows
During the conversation the Pres
ideut said the political situation was
much embarrassed, to say the least
by the bad temper shown, especially
on the Democratic side, that whatev
er he had done in this co nectlon wa
with a realizing sense of his constl
: tutional obligations, aad was assured
that he had done nothing outside tn
law: that there was the fullest iustilica
ton for the sending Of troops into til
Southern States, and if fair inves
tigatiou was had of the situation i
the States where troops hal bee
sent, this would be shows to the SAT
e :sfaation of al! parties but that, not

vides for a committee Of seven, to act
in conjunction with any similar COM

were going for doctor, and mean
time desired him to look after the
man. Mr.. Miller, who lives near the
track, Immediately started in search
of the supposed injured man. The
two men then went to the house of
Mr.. Amos Dow, Mr.. Miller's broth
or in-law, and told him that Mr.. Mil
Ter was very i'll and desired his assist
