The Statements of the Latter Berated
without Mercy.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-William A.
Cook appeared, at his own request, before
the Springer committee this afternoon
and desired to make a statement.
Col. Bliss had seen fit to say that the wit
ness had referred to Mr.. Kellogg as one of his
the Witness'l clients. This was q studied
deliberate falsehOOd. With regard to the
papers the witness was charged with having
furnished to the defendants, Col. Bliss had
said in a letter that the papers the witness
had were Of no more value TO the case, The
defendants got no papers from the witness
directly or indirectly. There was no one
statement by Col, Bliss in any way rejecting
on the witness that had the slightest foundas
ti0n in fact. The explanation TO il all was un-
questionably that Col. Bliss, after the death
of President Garfield. and after ascertaining
that he could have full control OF the case. de-
sired to exclude from it every one over whom
he could not have full control.
BLISS RoUNDLY DENOUNCED.
Mr. Cook called attention to several mat
tiers in the statements of Col. Bliss and Mr..
Woodward. and pronounced them studied,
malignant interventiOns aud pc rjuries. He
had no doubt that had the plans which were
approved by President Garfield been followed
in the management OF the cases some convic-
tions would have been secured. In the Pres
colt and Santa Fe route the witness had other
| evidence than that of Banker Walsh. He
could have shown the passage of money be-
tween different individuals. From his exami-
nation Of the salisbury case he was confident
| that a conviction could have been se-
| cured. Nobody that was willing TO
pay up was ever indicted. Mr..
| Merrick honestly tried 20 secure convictions,

AL Incident of the Convention.

An Incident Of the Convention.
Senator Vest, Of Missouri, when in
formed that Cleveland had been nomi-
mated. said that the news was old; that
Cleveland had been nominated at least
two weeks before the convention met.
He meant, Of course, that very
large majority Of the delegates were
ia favor Of Cleveland before the
convention assembled; and yet
it is stated by shrewd observers who were
in the convention that it was only By the
coolest and ablest sort Of management
that Cleveland was saved from defeat
when Hendricks was put in nomination.
Hendricks name was greeted with such
extrayagant demonstrations, and the ap-
plause was so long continued, that Gov.
Waller, Of Connecticut, who had seconded
Cleveland's nomination, lost his
head, as il were. and had
begun an earnest plea to the members OF
his delegation to change the vote Of Con-
necticut from Cleveland TO Hendricks.
He wanted his delegation to vote for the
winning candidate, and he felt convinced
that Hendricks was the coming man. Mr..
Barnum, Chairman Of the National CON-
mittee, and several Of Mr.. Manning's
lieutenants rushed over to him and quick
" convinced him that he was maxi
ing a mistake, and that he was walking
into a trap set by Butler and Kelly. Had
he thrown the vote Of Connecticut for
Hendricks at that time it IS probable that
all New England would have followed bis
lead, and that there would have been
regular stampede to Hendricks. From
this it appears that Cleveland's nominal
ton was not assured at any time before
it was made, and that the slightest mis-
take would have deprived Senator Vest
of the opportunity Of saying that Cleye'
land was nominated two weeks before the
convention met.

Rlaine and Prohibition.

There is an impression, growing stron-
ger every day, that the prOhibitiOnists
will play an important part in the ma
tional campaign. Blaine and mis- managers
and organs are undoubtedly alarmed at
the disposition shown by the prohibition
its TO claim him as their candidate. Neal
Dow. one Of the prohibition leaders, says
Blaine- is a prohibitionist. To permit
himself to be regarded as prohibitionist
might gain Blaine some votes, but
il would lose him a half dozen
where it would bring him one.
II there is any one thing that the
Germans will resist to the last more than
another. it is the shutting up Of the beer
saloons. They do not drink TO excess, and
they have beeu accustomed to beer from
childhood. They can be depended on to
boveotte any candidate who fayors pro-
hibitory legislation. The Germans are
strong in the Western and Northwestern
States. They hold the balance OF power
| in the States which Blaine must carry,
and it is pretty certain that they will use
their influence against him unless
he shows beyond a doubt that he
is not tinctured with prohibition
/ doctrines. The whole matter,
however, will require very delicate
/ handling. An announcement from
BIaine's managers that he does not favor
prohibition would lose him the vote of the
| prohibitionists, and an admission that he
/ does would turn the Germans away from
him. Thus far the prOhibitionists have
taken active and organized part in poll
tics in only a few States, but their power
is growing, and is liable to show itself in
quite a number OF States this fall. The
question with respect to Blaine's posi-
ton on the liquor question having been
rised. it will have to be settled some way,
and it is certainly difficult question to

H. nlood on the campalgn.

The speech OF Mr.. Hendricks on his re-
turn to Indianapolis, in which he re-
ferred to the frauds in the Navy Depart
ment as an evidence Of the corruption Of

for a change in the government, stung

OF their time TO the rotten condition which
the public service has reached under ke-
publican administration Of the govern

did not refer to the Burnside defalcation
in the Post Office Department. That de-
faIcation is much larger than was at hrst
supposed. 1t has been discovered that at
least $4,000 has been stolen. PROBABLY
Mr.. Hendricks did not want to reflect on
his fellow tOwnsman, Postmaster General
Gresham. Before the campaign is over,
however, the people will be pretty thor

AT BLAINE'S HOME.

Augusta Receives the Nomination with
Ringing of Bells and General RejOic-
ing.
If in the course of human events, says
an Augusta, Me-, special of the 18th inst,
to the New York World, any benighted
individual has gathered unto himself the
idea that the Democrats OF Augusta had
gone wild over the nomination of their
distinguished fellow citizen, James G..
Blaine. that individual should have
stepped into this city to-day when Grover
Cleveland's nomination was received.
In twenty minutes beautiful flag
bearing the inscription "GroYer Cleveland
for President" was f0ated in the air,
bells were ringing, cannon booming and
steam whistles blowing, while, high above
and over all, the hoarse and ponderous
whistle of E. g. Aliens publishing house
was open to its fullest extent for exactly

crat who was for Blaine, but he is a
Cleveland man all through.
This evening a more extended ratifica-
ton of the whole ticket is going on, with
professions, bands, fireworks and speech
es. in addition to the usual bell ringing.
The following dispatch was sent this
afternoon:

Blaine. tender their sincere congratulations
and their undivided support in the coming
campaign.

All along the river from Skowhegan to

echoes ring again with their rejOicings.
The ticket is just what Maine wanted.
With sufficient help Maine can be carried
against the Republicans in September,
but she has so long been a Republican
State that people do not seem, outside her
borders, understand how she can be
among the doubtful States. Vigorous
work from now until september would
prove it. however.

Business Failures.

The MORNING NEWS has called atten-
tion several times to the fact that during
the late financial troubles the failures
were largely confined to the city of New
York. Those who met with business dis
asters were mainly spectators, and some
of them who were reputed to be rich
were found to have very little solid
wealth when the test was applied. They
had a large amount Of securities
which had no real value, and which they
couldn't sell. About the only purpose
these securities served was to help their
holders figure as milliOnahes. There are
fewer reputed millionaIres in Wall street
than there was six months ago. 1t will
be some time before there are so many
mushroom milliOnaires there again.
While there is still quite a scarcity of
money, and while there is dulIness in
about all branches of trade, the future is
by no means unprOmising. In their June
review of the business outlook, r. G. Dun
& Co. give some interesting figures re-
specting failures. They say:
"The failures in the United States for
the first half of 1884 are 5,510 in number,
luCIEdsG VI 90 AulAuANof 90 HEoANN
with the first six months of 1888, or about
IS per cent. The liabilities, however, for
the first half of 1884 show an enormous
increase. amounting to S124,000,000, as
compared with S66,OOO,OOO in the same
period in 1888, or nearly double. The
enormous growth in the liabilities is,
however, directly traceable to the recent
panic, which has been mainly centered in
New York city, in which locality the
liabilities of the last quarter comprise
more than One-half Of those noted in the
entire United States in that period. A
comparison of the failures of the six
months in numerous States indicates, in
some cases, only a slight increase in
failures and liabilities, showing that the
disasters of the last six months, great as
they have been, have not been nearly so
universal as has generally been sup

Committees and the Civil Service


Law.
The Democrats have made the same
mistake in appointing their National Com
mittee that the Republicans did. They
have upOn their committee three members
who are offceholders. The members are
Senator Jonas, OF Louisiana, Senator RAN
som. of North Carolina, and Representa-
tive Barbour, of Virginia. When the Re-
publican National aud Congressional
Committees were appointed the whole
question Of appointing Federal Oficehold-
ers on State and National Committees
was pretty thoroughly ventilated. The
civil service law provides that any
Senator or Representative or
other official of the government
who shall. directly or indirectly, receive
any political contribution from any other
Senator or Representative, or other
government official, shall be punished by
fine and Imprisonment. This law is con-
strued to render all the members of a
committee liable to punishment, even
though only one member accepts the
contribution. The Republicans are doing
their best to get the oficehOlders on the
different State committees to resign, but
they do not appear to be meeting with
much success. The offcehOlders seem
determined to hold on to their
places Notwithstanding the law. There
is some excuse for them to hold
on in Louisiana, because without the Of
fee holders the Republicans would hard
" be able to form a State Committee in
that State. 1t is to be regretted that
Representative Barbour cannot be Chair
man of the National Democratic Com
mittee. The splendid and very success
full campaign which he conducted against
Malone, in Virginia, last fall is not for
gotten. As an organizer Of political
forces and a director Of a great political
campaign it is doubtful if he has many
aurraIa
