1t is said on good authority that n por-
tion Of c. s. BELLS report to hancock, which
was sworn to by him, and afterward given to the
press by BAucOcK = lawyer sroRRs OF Chicago.
was suppressed In the published copy. The part
which was expurged related to an interview
with WA. o. AVERY, In which the latter ex-
pressed his belief that he would be convicted,
and a desire to make terms with the District Az
torney. BELL saws he told AVERY that he had
ALWAYS supposed him innocent, but finally. at the
earnest solicitation Of the latter he spoke about
Lin to MIR. bliss, Assistant District Attof'
ney m 81. Louis, who became much excited and
said, "Wc will save AVERY II he will only come
out with all he knows" These facts, he says,
were communicated to A. c. BRADLEY, who was
acting for BAnCoCK. and 1t 10 70 he presumed
that tho friends OF the Presidents confidential
secretary made effective use OF the information,
as AVERY said nothing moro about turning
states evidence. This story, which was not
made public until yesterday, receives striking
confirmation In q report Of an Interview with
AVERY which appeared IN the St. Louis Times on
Saturday last. In that interview AVERY told the
Times reporter that he had been sacrificed to
save BABCoCK:
The fact is was sacrificed to ssvc BArcocE ! was

tits evident from the language used by AVERY
that he knows BABCocK TO be guilty, though ho
does not admit that he had any hand in the
conspiracy. And It can easily be understood
how much satisfaction tho RABCOCK party
W Juld take In using and then betrayinG him,
knowing, as they did, how nearly he came to
making full confession, which would probably
have been fatal to them. The evidence against
BABCOCK has been continually accumulatng

There Is rumor that BLAlSGs friends win

Let him name Roscoe CoSELiNG of New

fidelity to the Republican party would show
that Mr. BLAINE possesses elements Of moral
greatness. and would Indicate that there Is
future in store for him.

| The revivalists. OF their managers in this city,
| have made extensive use Of Advertising, besides
that IA the daily and weekly newspapers. Their
| advertisements have 1utterei from the tops OF
street cars ; big posters have been put up on the
| fences and dead walls and tens Of thousands
Of what the bill stickers call gutter snipes'
have been pasted along the curbstones. Their
best advertising, through tho newspapers. has
| been that which was gratuitous, in the shape Of
| daily reports and comments, which set tho
| whole city talking about them. They have had
an immense amount OF advertising in hundreds
OF churches from the clergy, who gave out their
| notices, preached about their operations, and
| urged people TO attend their meetings. There
was nothlr. Improper in these methods Of pub
| licity. Such advertising in modern times may
be compared 10 the blowing Of the trumpet In
| ancient times. There is an old hymn which be-
gins;

these Instruments is very frequently spoken OF
by the prophets. Advertising Jas been Broi her
