Our friend has right to make this in
Quiry, and we see no objection to making
public the question and the answer. We
have seen something OF this purport,
mostly in the Democratic press, and this
Is "a good time as any TO take notice
oi it.
No, the lNrELLldEScER has not had o
hllngout with General Gof and Is not in
any way opposed to him. On the con.
ttary, the lNTElLlGEScER admires General
Cot Tor his ability, his courage, his ex-
ehiOus in behalf Of the party when it was
With little chance Of success, and for his
splendid campaign which swept this First
Congressional District last fall. Why
shout! the lNTRLlIGESCER oppose General
GOdnow. having supported him whenever
be has beeu Gefore the people? General
GOfF is one otthe strong men Of the Repub'
licAn party in West Virginia, and the In.
rELuGGScER does not believe it good
policy to try to break down useful Repub-
licans who have the taste and capacity for
public life.
The ISTELLIGEScER has no candidate for
The place which General Gotf well flls,
aud it does not desire TO see that place
vacant. The ISTELIlGESCER has made bold
to say that,in Its judgment the next Repub.
lican convention would not look to West
Virginia, with its small electoral vote, for
aVice.Presidential candidate; we baye not
thought it wise to initiate the party with
thathope; we have expressed the belief
That the wisdom Of the party was not urg.

hshould please the convention to honor
General GOtr aud West Virginia in that
way West Virginia would respond hand.
someIy and General Gol' would make
dishing campaign. 1t seems that these
remarks have been misunderstood or pur-
pOseIy msinterpreted.
The lETElIIGEScER expects to have
always the courage Of It's opinions and
70 talk plainly to itS party friends. In
this same spirit, and for the same reason,
this opportunity Is embraced to say that
the lSTELLlGRScER is friendly to General
Got, and We believe that General Goff is
friendly to the ISrELLIGENcxR. This Is the
position Of the lSrELLlnRxcRR and 1t does
not intend to be put in any other.

CROOKS CAMpAIlE

of Good Results.

DALLAS, TEX, August 2.-The leading
papers Of the North having taken State
Senator Gibbs OF this State severely to
task for his statement Of the indian situa-
ton in the Southwest and Crooks recent
campaign, 9 correspondent called on Mr..
F. Underwood, Just back fF94 the scene
OF Crooks exploits. Mr.. Underwood Is a
prominent citizen, retired wholesale
merchant and a capitalist OF Dallas. He
stands rs high in public estimation for
yeracity ns sby G!gp in the city. He said
10 the correspondent that be fully con.
firms everything stated by Senator Gibbs
and that he voices the sentiment and
feeling Of the eitiZeps Of New Mexico and
Arizona in regard to the Indian policy Of
the general government and reCentex
ploits OF General Crook. = Dir. Underwood
says that he saw the Indians captured by
Crook and that they were nothing
but old men, woNep apd children. The
Indians claim that they had made 4 treaty
with General Crook, by which all ol them,
INCLUDING hostile bands still In the noun
taius OF Mexico, were to be allowed to re-
turn into the reservation; that when the
treaty was made the squaws and OLD bucks
started signal fires and thirty warriors
cams in and made terms with Crook. Then
they departed for the mountains OF Mexico
to bring In the remaining hoSti!es and to
secure little Charlie AlcComas. p 10 date
neither the thirty warriors, the hosties In
the mountains nor Charlie McComas have
been seen or heard from. The people Of

diers, and his renegade Indian scouts show
cd they could not be relied on to fight the

which the views Of several Of the most

tics were promulgated by letter and ora

unofficial political assemblage Of the year.
The IroquoiS Club Is q Chicago institution,
