Caulacld at the Palmer House last night and
interrognted him. Barney says he won't run

fields friends will vote for the Republican can

aud communicated the important fact. Tom
Foley and other loyal Democrats made
up tic party, and hearty congratulations poured
in upon the victorious candidate: The cheer
which the Hoxie mansion furnished was not out
Of place for such cool evening, and consisted

until reasonably late hour, when he retired to

His mission, as may be supposed, was not in the
line OF congratulations, bat inquiry.
"Will you run?n queried the reporter Of the

'sOh No, not at all. They will all come back

much, but will do more"
"Not talk SO much about Camp Douglas and
such matters" quietly observed the reporter.

"What I have to say to that is, that it is all |
false. It was simple commercial transaction, !
and did not in any way relate to politics. It ia
So easy to get up scandal out Of purely busi-

world to it.''
BITS OF HISTORY.
As curious matter of history,
it is related that about week or
ten days ago the Campaign Committee

fur campaign purposes. Barney looked out OF
the corners Of his eyes and said he couldn't.
The Committee departed. Hoxie was inter-
viewed and promised to contribute. This was a
highly important consideration, and, as Hoxie
was otherwise rather popular man, it added
weight to Ill arguments'in favor OF bis nomi-
nation.
which will tend to show why John Forsythc is
so little inclined to support Hoxie. When Caul~
field ran two years ago, he obtained from John
a promise to support him If he should run this
year. Two years is n rather long time to re-
member promise OF this nature, especially
when such a promise is given about the time Of
i nomination, and is apt to be made as tempo
rary concession to an importunato friend. So,
as time wore on, John. began to
