he said, "there is the only place
where 81. John can do us any harm and We
don't care where n goes" returned to
my hotel, sent for my friend who was stop
ping at the Astor house, U at the Metro
polit ,n) ard told him that in my judgment
it had been q game of pool from the begin
ming on the part of Carlson, and all that
they wanted was TO get st. john out of
Ohio, and their promise was worthless.
He turned upon me with much anger and
accused me of fooliDg him and his friends
to prevent any canvass in Kansas, to leave
prohibition party and the men of The party
TO be disgraced by inaction at home while
there was q heated canvass abroad, nor
could / pscify him for he said he had
SPENT SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS
that he couldn't afford to do. He left nae
n an i'll hi nor and started for Kansas,
but before leaving I made him promise
mems, he would join with his friends In q
dispatch to ST. John to come to Kansas.
St. John had then gone to ell an appoint
ment at Middle!own and one at Worcester,
Massachusetts,. On his return TO New
York met him at the Office of the New
York Witness and told him the probabili-
ties of q canvass In Kansas were at an end
taat our friend had become offended and
gone home. swell, he said, II am really
glad of il, for though
IwoULD HAVE GONE HOME WITH YOU
and made the canvass, believe the
behalf of prohibition lies more in the flu
ture thsa in the present. Look the matter
ali over" said he, "and you can reach no
other conclusion" He said, there are
other parties struggling for life 10 this can
vass. III Mr.. Blaine is elected this will be-
come a personal government and by his
personal he will bresk the solitude" and
destroy, utterly. the the democratic par
ty and will grind the prohibition party to
powder and the republican party thus or.
gsnized will hold power until displaced By
a revolution" He believed if Mr.. Blaine
be elected that
THE WHISKY INTERESTS
of the country would be nurtured and
become one Of the controlling powers OF the
party. He believed that if Mr.. Cleveland
should be electeu he would be wise, js-
dicious president, and would follow the ex-
pressed will of the people, rather than have
! a will of his own and co'ui,el the peoplets
follow him, that il the Republican, party
was defeated it would disintegrste and the
whole temperance element Of the party
would coerce aud form q party that
might soon become power In the land.

TO AVERT THE CALAMITY
I felt was sure to follow the destiny of the
republican party. He tsid further that
| appointments had BEEN made for him up
TO and including the night before the
election, and he should now accept them
and continued to work with all
his might. i met st. John
after that on his way to Buffalo 10 make .
speech, when he again said he should be in
| New York, and including the night before
election. came home and met quite .
number of men who were parties to the
original arrangement, and I was sorely
pressed by them for what they termed de-
ception on my part, FOR destroying
canvass in this state, and forcing them
to spend quite sum Of money IN
expenses under these circumstances. l
wrote Mr.. Clarkson q letter, marked 1T
"confidentiap on the inside and personal
on the outside. did not expect him to
send the money but did think be would
make some reply, so / could satisfy those
men that had not been fooling with theA.

tested against the conduct OF Clarkssn
