Why Seth Green Believes in Governor
Cleveland.

Seth Green says President elect Cleve-
land is truthful man. He was ask
ed by reporter how he knew it. He
said !:
"One year ago last fall Governor
Cleveland was spending his vacation in
the North Woods, at Woodruff Lake,
shooting and fishing, The dogs were
put out and deer started. The Gov
ernor was put on favorite runway
he heard the hounds they were com.
ing his way, my word for it. The
thought of otfice.seekers and political
enemies went out of his head and the
blood went tingling through his veins /;
he did not think of any ofhis friends
not even Bill Bowman nor Bob Roose.
welt, nor X. L. Sherman. He is said
to have great affection for all his
friends. but as the hounds n"ared him
| knew it was the best music he had
ever heard. ! nave been there, and
my opinion is that the blood went surg
ing in and out of his heart. 1t sound
ed as loud to him as n bass drum and
the only thought he had at the time
was to see the deer and keep that heart
still so that it would not scare him be
fore he came in sight Well, the deer
came and stopped broadside, within
six rods of the Governor. He stopped
for some cause ] do not think it was
humping of the Governors heart that
stopped the deer, but the Governor may
have thought different. Well, the deer
stopped | didn't think the Governor
lost his head, for he had a gun, and he
fired it off, and the deer raised his flag
and bounded off without scratch.
That flag looked as large to the Gov.
ernor as IA good-sizpd sail as the deer
went bounding off, If the Governor
had had little talk with me before he
went, he would not have missed the
deer. | would have told him to not
shoot at the whole deer, but to pick out
little spot just back of the shoulder
and draw bead on that spot. He
would have killed him, Soon after the
Governor had got the shot, friend of
mine thought to screen him, and wrote
me from Woodhull that the Governor
came very near getting a shot at the
deer-there was only little point of
rocks that hid the deer when he passed
and when ] met the Governor, told
him | heard he came very near getting
a shot at the deer. His face lit up as
he said, 4 did get a shot at a big buck
standing not over six rods from me and
| missed him Now the man, and an
amateur at that, who would not tell a
lie under the circumstances can be be-
lieved at all times without putting his
hands on the Bible"
