The Legislative committee which

with the State Treasurer made
report that gives full warrant for
the suspicion that there has been
system of misrepresentation of funds.
The following extracts from the re-

assertion

THE PRESIDENTS STORY.


A dispatch to the Inter Ocean says
Bsiknap betrayed his party, his
President, bis friends, and himself
and no onehere has word ofapology
sor him. "Let him suffer-" every
body says; she has had our comb
ience, that be did not deserve, and
we cannot afford to give him our
protection No one feels so indig-
nant as the President. To him Bel
KNAPP owed all his advancement and
prosperity, and so much more hein-
Gus was the betrayal. The Presi-
dent is more indignant from the fact
that to the last moment Bslknap
deceived him, and their last communi-
cation was = deception on Belknap's
part. As the President said to-day
10 a friend 81 have heard it said
frequently that If / had no other
virtue, IL could not be said of me that
| did not stand by my friends. But
my friends must not try my forbear
ance too far" Last evening the
President sent for distinguished
member of the Illinois delegation and
talked very freely with aim for an
hour or more, and told him the story
of Brlknap.
