Ho,c .fcklcn Vas lIrengcd Upon a Btach-
m.dilinJ Reporter.
New Orleans Special.
An amusing fact has leaked out in connec-
ton with the Acklen scandal. Mr.. Acklen
has naturally been DESTROYS of obtaining GER
tdficates of character, and apparently these
have not been easy to get. Ex-Goy. Hahn,
our newly appointed superintendent of the
New Orleans mint, was willing to help a
friend in distress, and was in Washington at
the time of the alleged scene at "Welcker's.' y
Hahn knows what it is to need the endorse
ment of ones friends, and was willing to
assume that he knew something of
the facts in question. Acklen and
Hahn called we'll known New
| Orleans reporter to their aid, and with his
assistance cooked up an interview" recently
| published in the New Orleans Democrat
and widely copied. Hahn, of course, took 6
i roseate view of Acklen's difficulties, and cas-
about him (fguratively) the mantle of his
own superior and unquestioned virtue.
Acklen, it seems, promised the reporte
swhat was right and the reporter though
that sswhat was right was about $50. Ack
len thought this was ''crowding the mourn
ers," and laid trap to get even. Yester
4 day he waltzed into the Office OF the paper
and asked for Mr.. -, whom, by the way
he did not expect to find. Being told tina
he was "out,'' Acklen requested the manae
ing editor to hand MIR. 1.-The chez
for $50'' This caused the not ur
natural inquiry, "what is this for?
! whereupon Acklen remarked that it was ga
right between him and Mr.. 49,, Mr..
had got up the Hahn interview for hin
and otherwise had done him considerab
goods Mr.. thought fifty dollar
swas about right "please, etc. etc.
The editor chief accepted the check
behalf of Mr.. but on the back penne
this little note:
New ORLEANS, July TO- 1s78.-Mr. -
Your services are no longer required by t
:. managers of the . Respectfully, etc.
: Rough work on the reporter; but it is
question if the expose is not at least as d
h agreeable to Hahn and Acklen as
