large meeting at the depot. Blaine

NEVER SENT A MAN TO ME
to make any such proposition within a
day or two, as Mr.. Beecher says, or at
any other time. Mr. Beecher, while not
recollecting 1t correctly in the most ma.
terial part, seems TO think that was re.
sponsible for that conversation, and that
l asserted that 1t was true. Nothing
could be wider Of the marx. OF course,
i do not know whether the conversation
with Mr.. Baine was correctly stated to
me or not, but do say that stated 1t as

there was no possibility In the narration
OF 1t that | could have stated, as VIZ.
Beecher has 1t, that Mr.. Blaine sent to
me In day or two any proposition of
any form or kind whatever.
While with regard to these things and
