Coleman conduct the examinations in chief of
keifer's witnesses, and Boynton cross-exam-
inc them. In the case of Boynton,s witnesses,
the examination will be conducted by the
committee, and the cross-examination by
Coleman. Keifer was questioned as to the
McGarrahan bill, and produced Boynton's
note of the 9th of February, which was Of
fered in evidence The note asks the speaker
to recognize Dunnell for motion to take up
the McGarrahan bill Witness threw it in the
waste basket. Boynton came later, waited
until the others had gone, and asked what he
could do in the Dunnell matter. Witness re-
piled that Dunnell would be recognized once.
He also pointed out that this private bill was
against public measures. Boynton saids
"Keifer, what do you suppose / think OF
youF" Witness said he hoped something
good, and Boynton replid, II think you are
fool" Keifer repeated the story told on ths
floor OF the house. He produced copy of
the McGarrahan bill, and said it was the
identical bill handed to him by Boynton
at this interview. He then went on
to give in detail the conversation with
Boynton. Boynton used this expression;
There are millions in it and millions to di-
vide" Boylton said he Lad friends with
him and there was enough to make all rich.
Witness replied: ~Boynton, you surprise me,
coming with corrupt proposition. am
surprised to find you in such corrupt lobby
scheme Boynton then left
On cross examination Keifer reaffirmed
the truth of his speech in the
house, and the letter sent Boynton
the preceding night Boynton asked that it
be put on record as part of the evidence
Keifer was asked if he regarded the request
in the note as improper, and replied no. The
whole charge of corruption is based on the
alleged interview. Keiferls impression was
that the interview took place on the lst Of
March, but he couldn't fix the time. Boyn-
ton read from keifer's speech in the house,
where the latter recited the details of the
bill given him by Boynton, to show that the
substance Of the bill had been given.

Democratic idea in these parts of booming
Payne for the nomination. he said:
'sWhy, that's the Sherman programme
That's the outgrowth of the latest reconcilia
Charley's invention, and if it works he is to
be made secretary of the treasury"
"Go on and explain the programme. Thert
seems to be something Of interest back Of
what you say"
@Why, it's simple and ordinary trick
Foster had himself interviewed so as TO say
that Arthur couldn't carry Ohio If nomi
mated OF course, If the Republican candi
date cannot carry Ohio he cannot be elected
and there will be clean sweep in Washing
ton in 1886, as there was in Columbus ii
1884. Then the Chicago convention mus

OF course, there is no earthly hope O
carrying Ohio at all unless John Sherman i:
nominated, because Senator Payne is going
to be the Democratic candidate, and woulc
sweep the state against any candidate othe
