How Senator Garland DevOured Soap Car
amel and Seemed to Enjoy it.
Washington Letter in Kansas City Times.
Not long ago Garland hit Butler pretty hard.
That is to say, he got very good one on him,
and Butler laid for the Senator from Arkansas.
Knowing Garland's fondness for candy, he pro-
cured some caramels and also some cubes of
brown soap, which, when wrapped in their It's
sue paper precisely resembled, to the eye, the
caramels Butler knew that if he tried to put
the cubes of soap off on Garland he
would fail, as the latter was, of
course, on the alert SO far as he was concerned.
So Voorhees,, of Indiana, who sits next to Gar
land, was chosen for the confederate. Said But
Ter to Voorhees,: Here are two genuine cara
mes. These others are cubes of soap. &c to
your seat lay the soap cubes on your desk. eat
the genuine caramels, put your trust In Provi-
dence, and say nothing" Voorhees, did ashe was
told. Garland observed the cubes on the desk,
and saw that Voorhees, was eating something
with an evident relish.
Hello" said Garland. "What are you
eating"
I've got cold, and, Pm eating some
candy" replied Voorhees,, very much absorbed
in some papers in his hands
Garland looked at the counterfeits wistfully
for a moment Hum" he said finally as he
picked one up. 1--WE got something of cold
myself" and he popped the piece of soap in his
mouth. There was a crunchng of his jaws and
he saw he was eaught voorhees, watched him
out of the tail of his eye, as did do en- others
of the old boys sitting around. Garland knew
he was under fire. but he was determined not to
finch. After chewing his soap for moment he
looked up at Voorhees, with the inimitabe ai Of
innocent earnestness that is characteristic of
him, and softly asked DO you eat many Of
these things when you have u cold2" AS Gar
land kept Oh chewing an almost imprrceptibie

Garland was game. He finished his soap,
and no man could say that he looked as if he

THE MEReRNARY SNEAK AND LIAR. a
Another Competent Witness Testiies To the
Perfdy of st. John.

LEAvENwoRTH Kan. Jan. ID Fred w. VII
lard. of the Times of this city, nephew of Jas.
F. Legate, published card this morning in
which he says that, at Mr. Legate's request he
wrote and mailed letter to Chairman Elkins, of
the Republican national committee, before
the election, saying in substance that
St John would leave the field if it
were made an object for him to do
so, and that Mr. Legate was the only one who
could manage him. Mr. Legate received re-
ply. but Willard did not know its contents.
Soon afterward, Willard, at Legate's instance,
sent u telegram to ST John, in New York, the
wording of which he did not fully comprehend,
but it was sufficient to convince him that Tegate
telegraphed st. John instructions. Afterwards.
when he asked Legate If he had heard from
the dispatch, the latter replied that everything
was lovely.
A Des Moines (Ta.) dispatch says: "The report
of an interview with Legate at Topeka this af-
ternoon reached here to night and was shown
Mr. Clarkson. He said that his denial now that
ne made any overtures will be met by the sut-
ficient contradiction of Kerens, Plumb. Dudley,
and others to whom he disclosed the overtures
made on behalf of St. john and that his denial
to-day also finds ample contradiction in his own
admissions made on the 9th to the reporters
of the Chicago and New York Tribune and St.
Louis Republican that he did make such over
lures. Clarkson added: The letter Of introduc-
ton he brought me from Senator Plumb showed
that lie had talked fully to Plumb about it, and
this letter still have. Legates declaration that
his letter from Kernes, printed by the Globe
Democrat is forgery, will not live long The
letter will be photographed, engraved and
printed, and as his writing is characteristic
and we'll known in Kansas the identity of the
letter and his suthorsip of it will very soon be
