SECRETARY SCHURz DIsPosEs OF ONE OF
GAIL HAMILToN's EMBRoIDERIEs -Secre-
tary Schurz returned this morning from
Summit, New Jersey, where he spends a
Saturday and Sunday once a fortnight
with his children. A reporter called upon
statement of Gail Hamilton, that w. II
kemble, of Pa, had paid him n 800 for re-
peating the same speech three times in a
campaign In Pennsylvania, and that be
"put in his pockets thousands of dollars"
asked from committees for speaking in
political campaigns. Mr.. Schurz replied
that the kemble story was utterly false and
ridiculous, as every body who knows any,
thing about political campaigns would I'M
dersiand at once; that since 1856 he has been
active in thirteen campaigns, state and
national, from two weeks TO four months at
time-an average of six 20 seven weeks;
that In most of these campaigns he paid the
Dulb Oh MS expenses out OF his own pocket.
sometimes when he could Ill afford it and To
the utter neglect of his private affairs; that
years ago, at times when he was unable to
do so, he had. as under the circumstances
everybody else did, 20 accept cOmpe l.
satiOn for travelling and other incidental
expenses, or decline campaign work;
that the aggregate of this compensa-
ton so received from every quarter
fell far short of the actual expense by
him incurred; that he thus gave to those
campaigns not only his labor and
time, amounting to little less than twenty
four solid months, and a not incon-
siderable amount of money also: that
therefore the Gail Hamilton story about
the Kemble payment and the thousands OF
dollars Mr.. Schurz put in his pocket is
grossly false as ID facts and conclusions; and
that inasmuch as Gail Hamilton's state
ments have repeatedly been shown to be
utterly wild and entitled to no credit, he now
beforehand declines TO be interviewed again
concerning her stories, or whatever she may
set forth.
