the encounter.

CAPTAIN Mackey, of Bradford. Penn, who was
william L. SCOTS opponent for congress IN ui' ie
district both two and four years ago, Is seen near
tho Hoffman House, where he is a guest. He is
why athletc WHISPERED man OF nervous orsah-

speech he says that 1t Is full of errors and missae
ments of which that about his own election IS ho'

in frnt III IN Avenue
Hotel. I observe a man with fIecklcd face OF the
pure scotch type with yellowsh sandy beard, COM
pact figure and dlgnlfed presence, whose soft hat,
wide brimmed and black of color, is worn in the West
ern STYLE and the cape Of whose top coat is thrown
back in military STYLE He IS accompanied by young
lady, whose riponing womanhood contains some MINIS
Of resemblance to a woman who mado the White House
famous. It is ex-President Rutherford b. hayes ana
his daughter Miss Fanny Hayes The o1Pesldent looks
as though time were dealing pleasantly with him and
has conented air that tells of absence from care or
solIctude.
Colonel A. L. Conger who represents Ohio on the Re
publican National Committee has been recently In wash
inston and may fairly be presumed at least to have cal
led on Senator Sherman Colonel CoRger was one OF the
twenty-five Ohio delegates in 1884 who supported the
nomination Of Mr.. Blaine, against Senator
Sherman. This year he has been strong advocate OF
Senator sherman's nomination In chatting with
the Stroller said that he thought the Presidential
nomination will lilo between Mn Blaine and Mr. Sher-
man, and tho latter now had 900 votes or there
abouts When the vote OF the South in
the Convention discussed he said
he credited over 10 delegates from that part to Mr.
Blaine. AS the Sherman claim OF $40 votes which
was recently put out from Washington, could only be
figured up by counting the south practically SOHO
TO take the =" starch" out Of that claim.
