The RuRRowEs CASE.
The Hearing Adjourned to Friday Next at
Request of Counsel.

The United States court room was
crowded with people Saturday morn
ing, curious to learn OF the ex-
pected developments, which IL was
supposed the Burrowes hearing would
bring out. AT 10 o'clock Mr.. Burrowes
came in, accompanied by his counsel,
Hon. J. W. Symonds, David W. Snow,
ESQ.,, and Charles S. Cook, Esq
United States Commissioner Rand
stated that District Attorney Dyer was
not able to be present and he would
therefore postpone the hearing until
next week. After some discussion, next
Friday at 10 a. m. was fixed for the hear
ing to take place. Judge Symonds
stated that his client had summoned
Witnesses from distance, who would
not be able to arrive here before that
time. a
Mr.. Barnfield, the man whom it is al
legged, was lured to Connecticut. has
been interviewed by Boston Globe re-
porter, and relates in detail, the means
by which he was induced to go to Con-
necticut. He alleges that Mr.. William
J. Dyer represented to him that screen
factory was to be established in Connec-
ticut, and that he should have good
place in the factory. These representa-
lions turned out to be utterly untrue and
Mr.. Barnfeld was left in destitute cir
bumstances and still remains in that con-
dition. Mr.. Dyer states that he was en-
ployed by Mr.. Robert A. Davis,
the detective, and that MI. Davis told
him that he was employed by MI. Bur-
rowes. Dyer says he knows nothing
about the inside history Of the matter as
he was doing what he was told to do by
Mr.. Davis. The only thing in the state
ment of Mr.. Barnfield and Mr.. Dyer to
connect Mr.. Burrowes with the matter
list he declaration of Mr.. Barnfield that he
thought'that MI. Burrowes was instru-
mental in getting him to go. to Connectl-
cut and Mr.. Dyer's statement that Mr..
Davis told him that he Davis was en-
ployed by Mr.. Burrowes.
A Rumor the District Attorney Doesn't
Deny.
A reporter for the PRESS heard a rumor
on Saturday that District Attorney Dyer
had never been consulted in reference to
the proceedings taken against Mr.. Bur
rowes, in fact that he never knew. any
thing about the case, land had never heard
of it, until it came up on Friday last
The rumor, or rather gossip went SO far
as to assert that the proceedings in the
case were undertaken by an official of
the post Office department on his own
responsibility, without any consultation
whatever with the District Attorney.
The reporter anxious to know if the
counsel for Mr.. Burrowes had any knowl-
edge of the ru1nor called on Judge Sy-
monds, the chief counsel for the defense,
and asked him if he had heard the rumor
and if lie had anything to say about it.
Ths judge said: II know nothing about
it. / have no knowledge and have seen
no sign that the district attorney has
taken any part in the proceedings what
ever. but [ cannot make any statement
about it"
The reporter called on District Attor-
ney Dyer and asked him if the rumor
was true. Mr.. Dyer said that it was not
proper for him to make any statements
whatever about it. Very well, said the
reporter, but do you wish to deny it. Mr.
Dyer said he did not.

DENVER, Col, Feb; 9.-Ex-President
Cleveland's letter to the Greystone club
is as follows:
Lakewood, N. j., Feb. 5, 1S92.-Hon.
A. B. Mckinley-My Dear Sir: My ab-
Sence from home has necessarily post
pOned until this time a response to the
courteous invitation | received in be-
half of the GreyStone club to attend the
annual banquet in commemoration of
the birth of Samuel }. Tllden. l am
not sure that this Acknowledgements and
the expression of my regret that l am
unable to accept your invitation will
reach you before the evening fixed for
the banquet: but cannot refrain from
the attempt to indicate to those who
remembered in the selection Of your
guests.
This is most excellent and appro-
pirate time to recall the virtues of Sam
uel j. Tilden. the late greatest leader of
the Democracy of the land. In these
days our party may remember with eX-
IRENE pride his pure patriotism; his am
bitIOn permeated with a desire of the
welfare CT his fellow countrymen: his
splendid organizing ability, stimulated
by his love of country and untainted with
ignoble motives; his unyielding re-
sistance to all that was undemocratic
and his support of the party. These
characteristics, combined with his love
for the people and his unfaltering trust
in their intelligence and falr-minded-
ness, made him great Democrat. and
we cannot go amiss if we accept him as
our political eXample
hope the banquet contemplated by
your club WILDE an occasion full of in
vigoration to those who. in the celebra-
ton of the birthday of the great leader,
demonstrate their devotion to the polit-
zeal honesty and sincerity which char
acteriZed Samuel j. Tilden, and that
those who are fortunate enough to par
ticipate will SEE palmer than ever their
duty and mission in resistance within
their party to all that is not safely and
surely in accord with Democratic doc
trine, and i'll the bold advocacy at all
times and in all places of the saving
qualities of the true Democratic faith.
Yours very truly.

FROM SENATOR VEST.
He Sees Cleveland's Chances Di.
miniShinC.

DENVER, Feb 9.-Senator Vest sent
a letter to President Mckinley, from
which the following are extracts:
Washington, Jan. %, 1S92.-My Dear
Sir: In your kind invitation you refer
to an interview with me published last
Noyember,in which declared my pref
erence for Mr.. Cleveland as the presl-
dental candidate of our party. There
has recently appeared statement that
l favored Gov. Hill, and justice to the
Democratic party and myself demands
frank expression of my views as to the
serious questions pressing upon US. In
private conversations | have oft
en- said, and now state publicly,
that | have never sympathized with
those who have denounced David B.
Hill as traitor, and who have been un-
able to see any good in his character or
achievements. He has my UNQUALIFIED
admiration and gratitude for such that
he has done, and especially for his
splendid services in defeating the at
tempt of the Republicans to steal the
New York legislature.
l have also said that recent events
had satisfied me that cleveland could
not carry the New York delegation to
the next Democratic national conven-
ton, and that Hill could do with it as he
pleased. l have never wavered in my
earnest desire for the election of Mr..
Cleveland, although recent events have
satisfied me that the chances for his
nomination are greatly diminished.
After touching Old what, in his opin-
ion, The congress should do in the mat
ter of tariff bills. favoring a general
and separate DILL, Mr.. Vests letter con-
tlnueS: Our party is now practically
united on the tariff, but hopelessly
divided on the silver question:" and in
pursuing the latter subject says: 1.-The
only difference between Cleveland and
Hill as to silver is that the former
leaves no doubt of his position, while
the latter's friends even are unable to
understand him." If the nominee is to
come from New York. then Roswell p.
Flower is beyond question our
strongest candidate. If the controll-
ing element of the New York
Democracy persists In forcing
Gov. Fill upon the party, and
will accept no other conclusion, it seems
to me our candidate should come from
the West. In that event my personal
preference would he for that tried and
faithful Democrat, William Il. Morri-
son, of Illinois; but Palmer, Carlisle,
Gray or BoieS can command the full
Democratic vote. The nomination of
Flower would make assurance doubly
sure:" but every real Democrat will
help to elect the ticket nominated at
Chicago in June next, no matter what
name is at its head. The paramount
necessity for the country's welfare is
the termination of Republican suprem-
acy with its system of plumber based on
the partnership of the government with
the favored classes, and the prof1igate
expenditure of public money.
