HOW THE $4,000 WAS DRAWN.

The DEMOCRAT would like to see Gov
ernor Murray succeeded by Democratic
Governor and will do all it can in fair and
open fight to have him removed, but
when it makes an error in regard to Gov
ernor Murray it will correct it so far as
lies in its power. Such an error was
made last night, and well-known gen.
tleman Of this city, and whose iniorma-
ton on the matter about which he writes
is correct beyond doubt, points one error
out, and we are glad to be corrected, see
ing that we have erred. The gentleman g
letter is given below:
SALT LAKE CRY, January 81, 1886.
Editor Democrat.
SIR: notice in your valuable paper of last
evening, wherein you refer to the $4,000 ap-
Legislature of 1884, for services of messen-
ger boy, etc., for the Executive office during
the years 1886. After quoting paragraph
from the Tribune you say:
'If that Is the case and no one knew who
would succeed Governor Murray, how does
it come that this appropriation was drawn
by Governor Murray day or two after II
was passed by the Legislature? What was
the reason for drawing it all at once before
the messenger, etc., had earned itp If Gov
ernor Murray had not succeeded himself
where would have been the means for de
fraying the expense of messenger, etc., fol
the Executive Office for the years 1884-5?"
Now, Mr.. Editor, this is incorrect. Gov
ernor Murray did not draw the So, 1000 all a
once, although he might have done 80 If HI
had felt SO disposed, as there was nothing
said or inferred in the appropriation bill
when or how it should be paid. If Governo
Murray had drawn his order on the Terri
torial Auditor for the whole amount at once
that officer would have been under the neces
sity, according to the wording of the appro
J priation bill, to have honored the Governor
order. But what are the faotsp The Gov
ernor drew his order on the Auditor for tn
first six months of 1884, giving as his reason
for not drawing the whole amount all q
once, "that he did not know whether h
; would be reappointed and If he was moi
it would be an injustice to his successor i
the office of Governor for him to do so."
might further say that the Governo
drew his order on the Auditor every 81
. months thereafter, as the amounts becam
due.
As feel satisfied that you do not wish
misrepresent facts when brought to your al
| tention, and l presume you will acknowledg
, I am in n position to know the facts in th
case, by giving space to the foregoing
your columns, you will correct an injustit
done the Governor SO far as drawing til
money is concerned.
Respectfully yours,
,TuaTrCE

the editor Of this paper wants Governor
Murray's place? The editor of this paper
has not applied for Governor Murray's
place nor any other place.
In conclusion, we would ask why the
Tribune notices the DEMocRAr II no one
else would without the aid Of that paper ?
1t is very wrong in the Tribune to bestow
so many columns upon us. Your kind
ness exceeds our gratitude.

Eyarts and silver Coinage.

Senator Evarts' position on the silver
question is still a cause OF anxiety to the
merchants and bankers of New York.
A letter appears signed by sixty prnci-
pal firms, addressed to Evarts, declaring
it is of the utmost importance for the in
terests of the country that the present
compulsory coinage OF silver should be
suspended, and begging him to exert his
great influence in the Senate to that end.
All accounts represent Evarts as closely
studying the question and carefully avoid
ing committing himself. The friends OF
silver coinage count him among the Sem
ators favorable to their cause.

The question has been asked whether
Charlie Ross was the Governors messen-
ger for the years 1SS4-5. As Charlie has
not been heard from, it is impossible to
answer the question.

IT IS clear that Governor Murray got
the $4,000, and for almost week the
Tribune has been trying to find out what
he got it for. 1t is trying to touch wood,
but has not succeeded yet.

CHAPTER Ill.


The summer melted away, as summers
will when Incompetent generals have
command, and they and theirs wonder
that nothing has come to pass when Octo-
Der appears. The Colony OF the Bay had
voted its contingent of troops for the
campaign only. Nobody dreamed of Win
ter operations i'll such Il climate, nor had
the Crown authorities any plans for keep
ing an army together or feeding ii till an
other campaign. To take Montreal and
Quebec in one push-this had been the
scheme, and nobody had asked the ques-
ton what should happen if this failed.
so the hardest experience Tor Captain
Sargent came III October. For Holder IA
no longer lieutenant lie has risen
from Il lieutenant to be captain, with
broad seals and signatures of General
Nabby Cromby herself to say so. Nay,
he is even doing duty as Il major. 1t is
hard to say what duty he is not doing.
"Shfty," quick, Jealous, loyal, ntelli
gent, unseliish he is here and there and
everywhere.
Indeed, sir, do not know where we
should be were it not for that boy" This
was the report of Il well pleased adjutant
one morning to General Abercrombie
himself, when, with infinite difficulties,
Holder Sargent had come in with II long
train of country carts, for which he had
bridged brooks and carried his track
across swamps that he might bring in a
hundred or more hogs to the commiSSa-
riat.
And so it was when the real campaign
was over, when the great body of the \ an
kee troops We're going home, but when
somebody must stay to hold the forts, 50
that everything might not be lost, Cap
tain Sargent was approached i'll the most
tlattering way from the very highest au-
thorities at headquarters. "Really, he
was needed for the Kings service "
"Really, if he would stay and enlist two
companies of volunteers it would make
the most favorable impression at home.
The young fellow was no fool but If he
had believed that the King himself, the
only soldier who ever sat on a George :
throne, was Interested in his staying, and
would be grateful to him for staying, he
would have believed no more than he was
told.
And 50 he stayed. Hard to stay, as you
may guess, with our pretty Phebe waiting
at home, and with that almost certainty
that when he came home her father would
see no reason for their waiting. But he
stayed And here is the letter by which
he tried to make it right with the dearest
| girl in the world. That is, here is what is
left of the letter, as they showed the rem
nant of it on Thanksgiving Day to his

call to express themselves on the refusal OF
the United States Senate committee on privi-

the following to the Senate of the United
States:
The Republican editors of Ohio, in conven-

the circumstances preceding and attending
the election in 1884 of Henry b. Payne to the
United States Senate from Ohio induced a
belief in the public mind at the time that his
election was accomplished by the corrupt
use Of money. Developments since have
tied conviction of the people of Ohio that
Payne holds his seat in the Senate as re-
suit of bribery. These convictions are not
the result of partisan feeling, for it is notorl-
GUS that the accusations of corruption origl-
mated with persons of opposite political opln-
ions from ourselves, and yet the influence OF
money and the power of party discipline
have in most cases caused them to defend
rather than denounce these charges first

Mrs. Workings Gift to Colby unIver-


Mrs. Catherine L. Wording, who has just
given thirty thousand dollars to Colby Uni
versity for the fitting school at Houlton, is
the wife of the late Judge W. E. Wording,
an early alumnus of the college, and for many
years past member of its Board of Trus-
tees. He died in Fargo, Dakota, on the 22d
of January last.
VIM. E. Wording was born in Castine OF
this State, in 1872, and was graduated at
Waterville College, now Colby University,
in 1886. The college not only recognized his
merits at the time of his graduation, but at
comparatively early stage in his career,
made him doctor of laws. He was success
lively professor at New Hampton, N. H.,
teacher and counsellor-at-law in South Caro-
lima, Judge of probate Tor successive terms
in the large county Of Racine, Wis, and
United States tax commissioner at the South
after the war.
Since laying down the burdens Of public
office, he has rendered the University and
its tributary schools at Waterville, Houlton,
and Hebron no little service by so placing
and guarding considerable portion of their
funds as to make them productive beyond
what they could otherwise have been. His
attachment to the college was remarkably
strong. As a substantial token of his grail
tude. he gave to it about $4,000 during his
life. The gift will become largely and
perhaps wholly available for use
in the course of 1887, and is to be
expended in the erection of building
for the benefit of Houlton Academy, said
building to be known as Wording Hail. Pre-
liminary steps to that end will doubtless be
taken during the present week, though the
work of construction cannot be commenced
before another spring.
