EFhereissfcoase good deal of speculation as to how these cipher dispatches came to light
 One of the Washington stories is that, when both the republican and democrstic committee asked Preadept Orton of tbe. WestemI Uhion. for all the telegrams on both sides, in the win-. ter after the presidential election, Mir. OrtonI gave them to the republican, and finding how ugly they were for the democratsa Senator Morton used samples as an effective argument with the leaders on that side to secure the giY- ing up of the filibustering and the peaceable inausaratimsof Hayes One theory is that Morton kept the dispatches, and they were found among his effects.

be continued; and IL should be remembered
that where the entire militia of state
should furnish, by turns, the weekly or

THE BRISTOW FARCE IN BOSTON.

WAsUINGToN, Jan. 2s.-The recent dinner
to Mr. Bristow in Boston had an object beyond
any personal compliment. and that object was
to put him In training for the Republican nomi-
nation in 1880. us against Mr.. Blaine. The SEN
utor for Maine was not ignorant OF this fact
when. In delivering his funeral ora'ion over
Gov. King. he seized the opportunity to pay his
compliments TO Massachusetts for her conduct
In the war Of 1912. and to rcdulte his obligations
for the vote Of her delegation ut Cincinnati In
1876
This Boston demonstration fell in with the
views OF the Fraudulent President and his mon
grel Cabinet who have griefs TO avenge and mall
Ice to crafty. Although known coolness exist

resulting In part from the intended appoint
ment Of Mr.. Harlan to II seat in the Supreme
Court and from other causes. the Fraudulent
President made haste after the Boston perform
ance to invite Mr.. Bristow to Washington.
He offered him there cold water dinner. In

telcgraphed over the country by the Associated

with everything but tho cold water. which Is not

particularly nattcring 10 his prospects for carry

with their affected superiority and transccn

recently refused " give him the cheap compi
ment OF nomination for Senator without th'

They treated him as the Republicans OF Ohi'
treated Stanley Matthews. who few month";
