managers, who preferred to trust to the chances
of an Electoral Commission. This is Burke's
story, in brief. as told to the correspondent
and we give it for what it worth.
The President gave one of the regular state
dinners at the White House last week, and
among the prominent guests was Judge Clifford,
of the Supreme Court this being his first ap-
pearance at the Executive Mansion during the
present administration. 1t has been stated
heretofore that Justice Clifford was the only
member of the Supreme bench who had not
recognized Mr.. Hayes, either formally or So
cially, since he became President, but he evil
IDENTIFY does not intend to ignore the President
any longer.
The Washington Post publishes an interview
with Charles Foster, of Ohio, on the subject Of
the alleged bargaining which preceded the final
declaration of the electoral count Some of the
points made are these The Wormley confer
ence was not called to make a bargain. The
conferees were Ellis of Louisiana, Henry Wat
terson, John Sherman, Stanley Matthews Gov.
Dennison, Gen. Garfield, Maj Burke, and some
others. Foster did not represent anybody. He
got there by accident. The letter from Hayes
to Foster had been received long before. That
letter simply favored withdrawing the troops
from the South. 1t made no contingent prom
Uses. Maj. Burke read a paper at that confer
ence. It was a document pledging the Nichols
Government if it were sustained, to protect
the Republicans of Louisiana, and to insure
them peace and happiness i'll that State. It
was not an agreement. There was no bargain.
The paper simply set forth what Nichols was
willing to do, and was not signed by anybody.
The Republican Congressman who visited
Louisiana pending the electoral count and
we're present at the canvass Of the votes, gen.
orally known as the visiting statesmen, held a
conference one evening last week. The object
of the meeting, says Washington telegram, is
understood to have been carefully to consider
the present situation in Louisiana, and the
duty which the visiting statesmen owe to the
Returning Board. The interchange of views
was informal, and no definite plan has been
determined upon. These gentlemen, and most
of the Republicans in Congress, think that
nothing should be omitted that can be done to
sustain the Returning Board in their present
trouble.

Fire at Enniskillen-The goods shed or

ground early on Tuesday morning. 1t con-
tanned two new tank engines, recently re-
damaged. Everything consumable was de-
stroyed. The damage is estimated at f7,
600. The fire is believed to be the work of
malicious persons
Crime in Dublin-Mr Justice Lawson, in
opening the commission for the County and
City of Dublin on Monday, said that some
time ago he had called attention to the
alarming pre-eninence Dublin city had at
tanned as regards crime, and he regretted to
say that progress was still being made in the
same direction. His own experience as a
Judge led him to say that intemperance was
fruitful parent of crime, and seeing that
within the last two months there had been
in Dublin 2,669 convictions for drunken
ness, reasonable men might doubt whether
Dublin required exceptional facilities for
getting drunk.

drowned. Coyne, boatman, on the lake
fastened to the rescue, and arrived in time

Mr.. Wyse went down, the body has moi
been recovered.
