lie never explained it, and there had been
law suit about certain bonds, out of which tho
trouble grew. Gen. Butler having paid the
sl22,0OO, which included accrued interest,
out Of his own pocket, now makes an expla-
nation. Some years ago llorltio Ward, an
American living in Europe, willed 9145,OOO in
bonds OF the various states to the soldiers
homes.
The will was contested but Gen. Butler won
the suit The bonds were sent to him by
messenger across the ocean. Before the mes
senger arrived Gen. Butler went ON a yacht
ing cruise, and left word for the bonds to be
deposited in bank. When he got back the
bank had failed, and the bonds were all lost
In replacing them Gen. Butler bought the
same Issue of bonds, and paid in the accumil.

Cleveland, Oct. 3O.-To-day was q
field day at Mentor. Trains from al
directions, carrying delegations t0 cal
on Gen. Garfield at his Lawn6eld home
arrived. The first TO arrive was one
hundred and hfty iron workers from
youngstown, Ohio, with band and
wearing badges 329 ON their hats.
In making his speech he quoted from
book which he read long ago, in which
1t was said that imam Is only an anima
that makes tools for his own use, 4" and
he discoursed on the progress Of tool
making from savages to the present
date. and said tools were an index OF
civilization. He alluded to the ques-
tion Of protection thus: l have never
thought 1t was sufficient reason for
asking the legislature OF the nation TO
make laws merely TO let any one class
OF citizens make more money, but when
the industry In which any Of our citi-
zens ere engaged is one that the whole
nation needs for its defense and for the
growth and development Of its people,
then every man SO employed Is doing a
great national, patrioticl work, which
the government should protect and de-
fend for the good Of all. On that large
national ground every blow you strike
is blow In defense Of the independence
Of your country and the well being of
all Its people.
To the Wayne and Ashland county
glee clubs and bands he made n mu-
sical and happy speech. This, he said,
is my day Of judgment; in a few days
1t will be the day Of judgment for all
the people, and whatever that Judgment
shall be. like good citizens, we viii all
bow to 1t and do whatever duty comes
10 us.
One hundred men from the Britten
iron and steel works, Of Cleveland, next
appeared. Delegations Of infantry and
cavalry then began TO arrive, and un-
daunted by the rain which fell steadily,
about 1900 guards formed into columns
in the meadow opposite the house, and
Gen. Garfield, in q carriage, reviewed
them. There was great enthusiasm.

New York, Oct. 30.-To-day virtual
ly closes the campaign. All the indi-
cations point decidedly To republican
success. Very few intelligent demo
erats now doubt that Garfield win car
~ New York. The betting is two
10 one with the republicans on this
state, and their offers OF four 10 one on
the general result hnd no genuine
takers.
Accounts from cool observers In
Maine, Indiana and Connecticut pre-
sent strong evidences that those states
will vote for Garfield, and the chances
for New Jersey are decidedly good.
There Is room for some uncertainty in
regard TO Colorado, because there is no
certain knowledge OF the effect Of the
current years immigration thither, but
the best republican authorities there
honestly anticipate from 1900 TO 6.0O0
majority. II Is feared that the demo-
Gratis will carry Nevada because of
what Is openly characterized there rs
Sharon's selfish efforts 10 force his own
reelection rs senator.
Accounts from Indiana show that her
democracy have doubled their efforts
since their October defeat, but there
are no indications OF them making
much headway against the republican
tide.
In the south the republicans continue
confident Of Florida, and have hopes Of
carrying South Carolina, as a strong
section Of whites promise to protect
the negroes In the exercise Of their
suffrage there.
Never on Saturday preceding a
presidential election were the external
indications more promising for any
party than they seem for the republi-
cans to-day, and their defeat on Tues
day would be greater surprise than
their success was In the October cleo
tions. No such determined republican
energy and enthusiasm has been mani
tested in this state since Lincoln's Sec
ond campaign

admitted respectability, and finally,
that many evidences Of the forgery
sbandantly sustain Gar6eld's explicit
denial of the authorship. All these,
together with Barnum's small tricks,
like that telegram 10 the country
announcing Harris release from arrest
for contempt Of court. Is vindication
Of the forgery.

New York, Oct. 30.-Barnum's CON-
mittee has telegraphed to many news
papers In California and elsewhere an
affidavit signed by the minstrel Joseph
Hart, with n letter from Marshall Jewell
to Garfield, for the purpose OF charging
Jewell with attempting, by bribery, to
suppress the proofs Of the genuiness OF
the Morey letter. Jewell on being In
terviewed denounces the affidavit as
tissue Of falsehoods, and says his letter
to Garfield, which was perfectly proper
in itself, was secured by Hart through
IN arrant Of trickery for fraudulent
purposes or the betrayal Of confidence
on the part Of Hart's attorney.
Judge Di.tenhoeffer, who, as an active
German republican, and the first
speaker to take tile republican stump in
this campaign, under the auspices Of
the national committee, enjoyed the
fullest confidenc of Jewell and his as
sociates, on Tuesday told Jewell lie had
been attorney for the Truth newspaper
since Its organization, and rs such an
attorney he desired TO arrange an inter-
view between Jewell and Hart; that
Hart and his associates, while pro-
Tossing to the public to believe the
Chinese letter was genuine, were in
fact convinced to the contrary and that
1t was forgery and that they proposed
TO make n retraction OF the charges
already published. Jewell, believing
that such retraction by the paper, one
Of whose editors forged the letter, would
be its most effective denial, met Hart
rs requested ut Dittenhoffer's Office
Tuesday afternoon and stated that
nothing but unqualified retraction
would be satisfactory. Hart endeavored
to secure Jewell's promise, accompanied
by letter TO Garfield, that this retrac-
tion by tine paper would secure the
abandonment Of the proceedingsagainst
Kenward Philip, the forger, this Jewell
fatly refused, but insisted that the

crowd Of spectators were present at the
examination Of Philip this morning. At
IL O'Clock Judge Davis ordered the
doors Of the court room closed. The
police had great difficulty in preserving
order SO closely was the room packed.
District Attorney Bell called several
witnesses, among whom were profess
sional experts and Postmaster Anger,
Of Washington, d. c.. who testified to
the incorrectness Of the cancelling
stamp on the envelopes; whereupon Mr..
Bell rested his case.
Attorney Howe called Mr.. Bell for
the defense. He testified that he had
the original papers on which the warrant
was issued. The original manuscript
Of the article lying and sticking to it)
was handed to him ut the rooms Of the
republican national COMMITTEES; could
not say how It came there.
Mr.. Stoughton called: He was for the
prosecution; did not know how the
manuscript came from the Truth Office.
Mr.. Knox testified to the same effect
except that Davenport had It.
Judge Davis said he objected to 0
recess as 1t might necessitate sitting
on Sunday, but he would set until the
clock struck twelve tonight, IL counsel
agreed. This was satisfactory all
round, and recess was taken for few
minutes for dinner.
Judge Davis again took his seat on
the bench at 9 O'Clock. Philips was pres.
ent. A lady attracted much attention.
Some delay ensued after opening the
court.
/ Mr.. Bell, for the prosecution, asked,

that he be permitted TO call JOSEPH

The court consented, and Payne ties
titled that the Morey letter and the cor
respondence was the same handwriting
as that OF the manuscript Of the edito
rial lying and sticking to it, and pub
lished in the Truth. THE editorial, il
was admitted, was written by Philip.
The defense called Andrew Mclean
and George Goodin, connected will
