indirectly, because when cut in this

THE GRANT BOOM.
What HaIstead, Of the Cincinnati CONNER.
cial, Has TO Say-Assurances that
Grant win Not be
Candidate.

/ CINCINNATI, January 30.-1n view ofthe
newspaper charges that Mr.. Halstead, OF
the Commercial, had started the story that
Gen. Grants friends had arranged to
withdraw his name as candidate for the
Presidency, Mr.. Halstead says there Is q
wide difference between that statement
and the statement that Gen. Grant will not
be contestant for the candidacy. Mr..
Halstead says he is called on to confirm
report said to be traced to him, that he
said George WsrChilds told him that he
had a letter from Gen. Grant declining to
be candidate fot the Presidency. There
is no question Of veracity between Mr..
Halstead and Mr., Childs, for Mr.. Childs
never said anything Of this sort and Mr..
Halstead never said he did.
Mr.. Halstead says, further, that he was
informed in Philadelphia that there would
be authority for it that Grant was not
candidate and must not be pressed in the
contest as such; that the authorization
would be distinct, the declaration deci-
sive and made in good time. He has not
understood that this statement has not
been denied, while good deal Of trouble
has been taken within the past few days
to deny some things that have not been
charged. -

ALLEGED MuRDERgR ARRESTED.


SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Jan. S0.-Parnell,
speaking in this city tonight referring
to Lord Alfred Churchhill's cable, said:
"This young nobleman says that my state
ment that the relief fund Of the Duchess OF
Marlborough is being administered for
political purposes Is false. Now have
best and most recent information from the
distressed districts that my statement is
absolutely true and that all persons out Of
favor with their landloards are precluded
from participation. More than one parish
priest also, has already complained
that the fund Is being administered for
sectarian purposes. The word OF a de-
scendent OF one OF the band of the notori'
Gus Sarah Jennings, mistress OF the Duke
OF York, on the other hand OF Churchill the
first Duke OF Marlborough, OF whom
MacsuIey writes as follows: "That he
owed his rise to his sisters dishonor, and
that he had been kept by the most pro;
fuse, imperious and shameless OF harlots,"
will be scanned somewhat closely by the
American people, who, at least, can boast
that their ancestors were honest men and
women.
Adverting to the Mansion House COM
mittee he said, that apart from the heirar-
Chy, there was not a single member OF 1t
who professed the confidence and respect
Of the Irish people. Parnell also spoke
second time tonight at Holyoke to the
same effect. The proceeds Of both meet
ings amounted to S, 900.

Politics are dull. It Is understood that
Senator Tarr would accept a denomination
II rendered him, but Hancock county
claims the nomination, and there Is some
talk OF Donehoo, OF New Cumberland, and
Griffith and Lee, from the lower end OF
the same county.
A report printed in the Register Of yes
terday that DR.. Kirker was dead, created
some surprise and considerable inconven-
ience, as the Doctor is alive and likely to
stay 80 for some time to come.
The fire.bug prisoners are still under
discussion, and It is doubted whether the
cases against them are as clear as at first
announced. There are good many ru-
mors afoat OF money being paid persons

was originally implicated, and who was
released, yesterday went up from Wheel
