g as dumb as oysters. Butler


II see 1t published as telegram
from California that Kearney came
to Boston at my suggestion and
in my interest. In justice to Kear.
ney, as this is one Of the lies sent
from San Francisco to injure him,
allow me to say chat it is absolute
ly false in every particular. l had
no communication with Kearney,
directly or indirectly, or with any
friend of his upon any subject
whatever until days after he came
to this city, and then at my leisure
L called upon him as [ do upon
any other gentleman of prominence
who visits Boston to whom I be-
lieve my visits would be agreea.
