A PERSONAL EXPLANATION.
Mr.. McGOWan rose to a personal eXplana-
tlon, and called attention to some remarks
made by Mr.. Wood tN.Y.) a few days ago, in
which 1t was intimated that he (MG. .McG0wan)
had carried Off letter he had written to Mr.
Wood and which the latter had made part of
his remarks in his speech on the tariff bill. He
was surprised that the gentleman should have
made such an intimatOn. He did not see the
letter after itwaS sent to the clerks desk and
he would not have carried it off if he had got
1t IN his possession.
Mr.. Wood said that he never intimated that
the gentleman had carried off the letter. All he
SAID was that the letter was not sent to him
win MS speech for revision, and when he went
to enquire for it he found that Mr.. McGowan
mad been at the desk enquiring for it, but he
dld not suppose that the gentleman had car
ried the letter off.

McLln and Dennis, of Florida, concerning the
election frauds. Though persistently dues
toned, Governor Hendricks steadily declined
tossubmit to formal interview. However, i'm
an informal way, during the course of the con-
versation, he said that the confessions were i'm
no manner surprise to him. He intimated
that legal proceedings based upon them would
be instituted, but not Immediately, although
he could not state what precise form would be
adopted. In regard to his views of the presi-
dental question he quoted from his speech
to the democratic state convention of Feb
ruary 20, saying that while il is perfectly true
that the title of Hayes to the office of president
was settled under the forms of law it is still
none the less true that imperative duty de-
mands of us that fitting punishment be visited
upon. the public criminals, through whose

Mr. Hendricks declined tC talk more fully
upon the matter, partly because it had not re-

but more especially because he had of late
abandoned the discussion of politics,
