Corobosates the Doctor

PHILADELPHIA, September Judge Geo.
Hoadly, Democratic nominee for Governor
of Ohio, is still at the st. George Hotel,
unable to receive visitors, Reports have
been in circulation for several days, which
received confirmation from Cincinnati, that
his mind had become partially disordered,
snd that his mental condition is much
worse than his immediate friends wish to
have known. His physician and old per-
sonal friend, DR.. Robert Bartholow, 1909
Walnut street, said tonight, when ques-
toned as to the present condition Of the
Judge: He is improving rapidly, and to-
Fdaysis really much better. Within two
weeks hope to have him entirely recoV.
cred, and back in Ohio"
What is the exact nature Of his
trouble?"
..SimpIy MalariaI Fever,
from which, as you probably know, the re-
covery is very slow. There is always great
danger of a relapse. Therefore am keep.
ing him perfectly quiet until he shall have
entirely recovered his full strength and
vigor."
There are reports that his mind has be-
come affected-is there any truth in itH Is
he mentally prostrated, or is his brain at-
seCted in any way?"
Not in the Slightest degree. Malaria
alone is the cause OF hts being in Phila.
delphis. There is not the least ground for
any such report. You will see him take
up the campaign again within very short
time"
Then there is no talk of his withdraw
ing?'
mo, no; why SHOULD there be? He is
getting along all right. He could make
speech to-day, but he is under my orders,
and | won't have 1t. There is not the
slightest foundation for such a story. His
intellect is Just as clear and keen and calm
as ii ever was. 1t is only a question OF
few days"
Does he leave his ROOM
mo. Under my orders he stays il his
apartment but he is by no means confined
to his bed
why does he not see reporters"
"TO Avoid All Worry.
Why, when he arrived here on Monday
night, in a high state Of fever, there were
fourteen or fifteen newspaper men who in
sisted on seeing him. A number of them
were even at the depot to catch him there,
AMI they seemed offended that they could
not interview q sick man. | am out OF pa
tience with some young newspaper men,
they have so misrepresented me in the &C
counts which they have given OF what |
have said about Judge Hoadly's condition.
hope you will be carefal to say that have
not the least doubt whatever that we shall
have him back again in the campaign very
shortly
when / consider him perfectly we'll,
then he will return to Cincinnati, and |
shall allow him to be interviewed. The
seeds of the illness remain so long in the
system, the disease being liable to break
out again until they are entirely removed,
that have ordered this complete rest and
change OF air. | intend that the rest shall
be complete, and to insure that there must

No Mental Disorder whatever;
it is malarial fever, and nothing more nor
less"
Edgar NJ. johnson, Judge Hoadly's law
partner, was next seen at the ST. George
Hotel, and asked how the patient was get
VERY we'll, indeed" he replied. "He is
feeling very nicely to-day. His fever is OF
the intermittent order, you know, and to-
day is its off day. He will be all right in
few days, and will be making stump
speech for the cause two weeks from to.

"Tnen he has no intention OF withdraw
ing from the canvass"
"Not bit. tell you he will be at work
in two weeks"
ut is reported that the State Committee
of Ohio is talking OF asking for his with
drawal.'
That is all a lie. No one has ever
thought OF such thing, except few id
fools. / suppose there will always be
plenty of that kind of game to start non
sensical stories. You can say that we are
perfectly satisfied with the Judges pro-
gTess.
at takes a long time, you know, to get
over the disease he contracted in some OF
TIE II alsrisl districts through which he has
been travelling, and he is taking it very
quietly. He could be down here this MIN
ute if Dr. Bartholow had not ordered him
to remain in his room. Quiet, rest aud
change Cf cir will be all that he needs"
