TO your correspondent to-day that this |
story of the bond was arranged come

BristoW's friends, at which Joe Medill, !
Of the Chicago Tribune; Richard Smith,
of the Cincinnati Gazette; Murst Hal
stead, of the Commercial, and General |
Boynton, the Washington correspond |
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette, and !
Others were present. The supposed facts !
were there put into a shape TO invite |
creduliiy, and it was resolved to have |
the story appear simultaneously in vari- |
Gus newspapers Of the county about the |
first of June, so that Blaine would have |
10 time TO cCuntersct the force OF the |
attack. The indianapolis Sentinel man |
wss somehow let into the secret, and |
icing unable to contain II, it exploded |
prematur6ly sDd upset the whole thing. |

viewed by the hssocist d Press agent |

any supposed facts into q shape to invite

IeEspapeis, or in any newspaper, and
did not let the Sentinel man into the
secret. In short, Mr.. Medill says that
iu all the essential particulars the Inter
Oce0H's special is false, and this is con-
firmed by another gentleman who &C
compRnied Mr.. Medill on his trip.
