The President Out Of HumoP.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The President
is very much out of sorts. One of his
minor ills is letter addressed by the
two Massachusetts Senators to Secre-
tary Folger giving Collector Worthing-
ton q severe hauling over the Goals
for helping the Democrats elect their
candidate for Governor. The relations
Of Worthington and his paper to Butler
are such that the truth of the charge is
highly probable. Another letter, and
one moro interesting to the President,
because more personal, is from Messrs.
Hendrix, Kerr and Bliss, in regard to
man named Spencer. During the star
route trial the Government counsel. it
is we'll known, sent the President let
ter setting forth that Spencer, Govern.
ment official, was wanted as a Govern
ment witness but could not be found,
and was comforting great favor ON the
defense by keeping out of sight. No
attention has been paid to othe letter.
The time of the second trial draws
near, and Spencer has not yet been
found. He h wanted very much. The
Government counsel sent another letter
to the President calling his attention to
all the facts in Spencer's case. Of
course the President does not exactly
like to have his attention called to the
thing. 1t intimates that he wants to
screen Dorsey. Now the President
wants every violator Of tho law pun
ished, but he isn't very anxious to see
useful Republican statesman and the
Secretary Of tho National Committee,
the man whom he has trusted as the sa-
vior of Indiana, behind the grating Of o
penitentiary.
