The prisoner having expressed a belief that the
Deity protected him from the day he shot the Presi
dent to this day, Porter said " 1t depends more on

THE SAVIOR OF HIS COUNTRY.
The prisoner asserted that his acts saved the
country from another war.
Porter-There would have been war now if it were
not for you?
Guteau-'T do not pretend that war was immed
ate, but do say emphatically," and here he began
to deciaim in the dramatic manner and style OF q
stump speaker: THE bitterness OF tho Republican
party was deepening hour by hour, aud by two oil
three years at least the nation would have been in
fame of war. In the presence OF death all hearts
were hushed and dissension ceased. For weeks ant
weeks the heart and brains Of the nation centered
a sick man at the White House. At last (and her
the speaker lowered his voice to be almost I'm
intellgible) he went the way of all flesh, and TIN
nation was in mourning That is paragraph
| from speech wanted TO make two weeks ago."
| He continued, resumipg his natural tone, and ap
parenty well satisfied with his effort It comes il
very pertinent here, and am glad had chance L
| deliver it.

The prisoner hesitated and seemed about to dodg
the QUESTION, when Porter stopped him with an i'm
patient, 90 Now Now Now y
A. (mockingly)- Now Now though
Grant or Blaine would be nominated and when Gar
field was nominated on the Both ballot it was an &C
of God. The facts surrounding his e,ectien woul
sustain the position that it was al act OF God, an
the facts surrounding his election would sustain II
