THE VISIT no MENTOR.
whal Aotually Occurred on that occa,l.

What Actually Occurred OH that Occasion.
In view of the various absolute misrepresenla-
tions made by the democratic press as to what oo-
curred at the meeting at Mentor between General
Grant the elder Cameron, Senators Conkling and
Logan and General Garfield, gentleman OF the
highest character. who was present during the
whole visit, authorizes the statement to be made
In the most emphatic language which can DO used
that all statements, from whatever source, and no
matter who indorses them, which Imply that any.
thing like political agreement or proposition was
made By any one OF the party. or was discussed by
any one present or even hlnted nt by any one dur
ing tho visit, without the least shadow Of foun-
dotion In truth. Nothing whiohbears the slight
e9t resemblance to the accounts circulated In the
democratic press took place, Ohe Of the earliest
stories was that Senator Conkllne went against his
VIII and was cool aud dignihca throughout the
call. on the contrary, he was nA Of good nature
and az cordial throughout as anyone who has Wis
itel Mentor.
VISIT General Garfield sent lls carriage 10 tho
depot after the party and received them at his
door as they were driven up. Senator C0nklng

was every evidence that good frhnds were meet
Ing each other and and no evidence otany Kind to the

Grant and his three compaulonatO the study or

smoked and chated tl the tiin5 for leaving ar
rived The talk from nfst TO iasi was altogether
social In Is character. There was no political dis
cussion nor anything approachNg H. and no at
temp. on the part of any ou5 TO open such
discussion. Tho campaign Sas only al
iuded to In connection with the trip the party
cral way. There was no copaultation over
the conduct of the campaign up to that time,
nor in regard TO any plan for the nluro, There was
not u word spoken by any one IN regard to what
General Garfield would or would not do or what
he was desired to do In case he' was not elected,
In shOri the whole talk AZ Mentor was exactly OF
the character that General Grant gave TO II In de.
clarlug that there was not q word spoken by any
Of those present that might not have been spoken
