The Er-Sccretary of the Nary Prono,tnces
IN Faror Of Grant for President
[Cape May (July 13) Special to Chicago Tri-
bune.
Ex-Secretary Robson has got back from
the Capital, where he went to look up the
Whitthorne report on his case, and has
come down here to recuperate after hard ex-
ertions on the Hunter and Noyes cases. He
seems to be in the best of health and spirits.
He says that he could not find anything new
at the Capital, but he did not intend to let
the Whitthrone report go unchallenged.
That was not what the reporter wanted,
however, and he asked about th!rd-term
prospects:
Seen. Grant is friend of mine and l am
his friend, and he can rely upon my support
if nominated for third term said he,
enphatically. "But don't think Gen. Grant
would accept denomination continued
Mr.. Robson, 'salthough he has never said
anything to me about it. / have received
several letters from him, but he has never
mentioned that topic. It is my opinion,
however, that he would not accept unless
there should be peculiar conditions or the
state of the country should demand that he
again take the helm.''
"Did you write letter to the General -
asked the reporter, g saying that, if he could
keep it up long enough and remain outside
the party wrangles then boiling about the
shaky foundation of the Hayes fraud, he
must inevitably be nominated in 1902
| 81 never wrote such a letter to Gen
Grant, was the answer. 81 do not know
where that could have come FROM" and he
laughed heartily at the idea. cit is rather
irksome. though, to be an ext President" sale
Mr.. Robson, "because he has great dea
of spare time on his hands and nothing tx
do. He cannot go into business very we'll
and time moves slowly when there is S,
much leisure. In this view of the case, prob
ably Gen. Grant would accept third term
but it is some time yet to 1880, and there i
no telling what complications may arise
However, from what little know now, ar
of the opinion that Gen. Grant does not de
sire a denomination.

Weber My impression is Dula wanted me to
make money; said bales of it had been sent
here from New York. Dula said Weber to
give him $500 to testify. Witness had not
been in parish since 1875. Was afraid to re-
turn. The report had been circulated that he
and other prominent Republicans had organized
the negroes for the purpose of numbering the
whites. ] am certain there never was such

Poehler. Barton. Lienau. Kinds.

Before the vote was announced Mr.. Behnke,
of Brown county, called attention to the fact
that he had presented proper credentials from
Redwood county, authorizing him to cast the
vote of the county, but for some reason the
committee had paid no attention to them.
MIR. Norrlsh, chairman of the committee
explained that. following the practice of dem
ocratic coventions refusing to allow citizens of
one county to represent another. the creden-
tials had been rejected by the committee.
Mr.. Behnke explained that the people of Red
wood county were poor, but desiring
to be represented in the convention,
the democrats in convention had re-
quested him to act for them. and he thought it
was but justice to recognize them, but the
convention decided to stand by the report of
the committee.
