70 the Editor Of the indianapolis Journal:
In your issue of June 80 and July I'd you give
what purports to be interviews with me in re-
gard to the strike of 1877. The statements con-
tanned therein. while in general are correct,
omit one important statement made to your re-
porter in regard to what occurred at the Council
chamber at the meeting of the strikers COM
mittee with the subcommittee of pub
lie safety, of which General Harrison and
myself were members General Harrison was
making some remarks 10 the STRIKERS COM
mittee. to which I was not at the time giving
attention, and which cannot undertake to re-
peat either in form or in substance. My atten-
ton was sharply called to what was passing be-
tween General Harrison and the COMMITTEES by
the members of the committee rising TO their
feet, and making movement as if to leave the
hall, their chairman or spokesman. Mr.. Savers
remsrkine. eve did not come here to be in
suited" l stepped forward at once and assured
the committee that there WAS no purpose on our
part to insult them. and General
Harrison promptly dsclsimed any such pur
pose in anything be might have
said. the members of the committee then re-
sumed their seats, aud the conference proceeded
without any further interruption.
am informed that the omission Of this part
of my statement to your reporter. coupled with
the wording of the interviews AZ published, has
been construed as implying that such Incl
dent occurred and desiring to be entirely fair
