EXECUTIVE MANSION,
WASHINGTON, d. c., October I'd. /
Henry J. TTlford. President kentucky CdtHe
RI sing C0mpGny-DEAR SIR: While Mr. Flem-
ing was cand date for the United States Dis
trict Court Attorneyship, | was pleased with the
manner in which he demeaned himself, and
when the place was given to another he be-
haved decently, and seemed to think that not
wlthstanding his disappointment the country
and the Democratic party would survive. When
was prepared to appoint an Associate Judge in
New Mexico, sent for Mr.. Fleming and offered
him the place, which he accepted. | have
never had any occasion to complain of his in
dorsements, and am very sorry he could not
continue in the office TO which he was APP
pointed. The fhct is he won his appointment
by his own good conduct, and upon his merits
as they were estimated after q number of per
sOnal interviews, fortified by plenty of iudorse-
ments by his neighbOTs and professional breth-
rem, none OF which have ever been Withdrawn.
Yours, very truly, GROVER CLEVELAND.

pegate break for liberty. Just as they had
finished their supper with deafening yells
they started up in asbody and rushed for
the neighboring woods. The guards opened
fire upon the fleeing convictS with deadly
effect. The latest report says that 25 Of
them were killed or wounded. TheprisOners
ran in one large body, and the guards
simply emptied their repeating rifles and
small arms into the moving mass. RumOrs

been rife for some weeks past These ru-
mors were strengthened by the lacr that
many of the conYicts were serving life
sentences, aud were known to be desperate
characters, and extra precautions We're be

used TO recapture the thirty-five who sue
ceeded ii eluding the rifles of the guards
All avenues of escape are being guarded,
and posses are being organized to scour the
