iFIER the 1.-THE GAME.
MIR. Forster Thinks that Gen. Uusted Could
Have Been Nominated.

George II. Forster Of Yonkers. who lost
the Republican nomination for Congress by a
little eight TO seven game IT, tho Convention
attributed to the Bald Eagle of wcstchester
says about It now: SO far as / know there
never was any trouble between Gen Hustled
and myself in regard to this nomination. |
have always believed. and still do. thnt the dele
gates that were in favor Of me "a their first
choice wero in favor Of Gen. Hustled IA thcir
second. and those who favored him as their
first choice favored mo as their second. Incvcr
thought that had secured any Of the delegates
in favor Of Mr.. Bradley and II Gen Hustled had
desired that nomination have no doubt he
would hnve got it by accamatlon. And have
every reason to believe that Gen. Hustled de-
sired my nomlnation, in case he did not wish
Tor II himself Consequently the statement
TINT the MWOr-Gcneral had taken his revenge
and killed Forster with Smith is a. under.
stand. an entire mistake. | never have had
the slightest idea that thore really was any
CONTROVERSY between Gen. Hustled AMI myself
about the matter and have not any now. OF
course, don't know man's motives hut Judge
from the fact that the delegates who supported
ne outs de NJ district, with the exception Of
Mr.. Gunther, from Mr. Bradley district wero
from Gen Husted's district, and. as | UNDER
stand. his personal friends. Three Of tho five
delegates from Gen. HUsteds district had they
supported me. ono of the delegates elected
from that districts a. have boon informed by
hlmscl lt-arrlNcd at the Convention half an hour
after 1t had adjourned. 10y reason oi an accident
that occurred L. his conveyance. and u 1t had
not hcen for that the result II the Convention
would have been the other way. Mr. Smith was
nom mated hy Judge Robertson, and has always
been looked upon as a very influential man In
that district. and take 1t he has not lost his
influence there yet. That was how he came to
get The nomination"
Had you any intimation, Mr. Forster Of the
intent OF the adhcrents Of Mr.. Smith TO execute
