Considerable stir has been caused in tho

dorsed MIR. y. TAYLOR McCue. prominent
Republican Of Henric0 county, Tor tho

THE LITTER.
From what can BE- learned when Mr..
NcCue determined TO move 10 Washington
DR.. Patterson wrote a letter, which was
not addressed 70 the President OF tho
United States or 20 anybody else, but 70
all whom it may concern stating that 100
had known MIR. McCue for twenty years,
and that he was gentleman IN every
sense of the word and was worthy the con-
fidence AID courte V usually accorded gem
tlcmen.
The letter was written with 2 typewriter
on the Patterson COmpauy's letter paper,
but was signed by " Il. A. Patterson, presl-
dent OF the Tobacco Exchange"
TEE ALLEGATIONS.
II is ALLEGED 10y members Of the Trade
that the President had no authority TO sign
the paper in his official capacity and that
il committed every member OF the Organl-
cation to what was set forth in the Gocu-
ment.
NETTING OP TIE BOARD.
The talk about this letter led to a meet
inc of the Board Of Directors Yesterday.
who adjourned the matter over TIL Friday
next for Mr.. McCue's appearance before
the board.
Those who know DR.. Patterson well do
not hesitate 90 say that the endorsement
of NicCue was unintcntiOnGly Official, and
he never would have done SO contrary TO
the known sentiment Of the Iarde.
Mr.. McCue Is very pronounced Ma
hone Republican and many OF his utter
ances in Washington and elsewhere have
been offensive TO our people.
lie is 0t this time IN Washington.
To numbers Of people here he mas stated
that the consuishIp has been offered INN.
This he said before Dr. Patterson wrote the
letter. IN fact. it was the impression OF
some to whom Mr.. McCue exhibited the
letter that he meant 10 use It, If at all,
when he settled in Washington. or # he
took tho consuship when he settled IN
Glasgow.
DIDN'T Know IT.
judge Waddill said last night that If the
GLASGOW consulate had been offered Mr..
McCue lie did not know 1t.
