looking after the business affairs Of Mold
stad & Foss during his partners absence
in Europe. Mr.. Foss. when questioned
concerning the gcnuiness of the dispatch.
said:

personally, but knew OF its contents, and my
name uas placed on IL with my full knowledge
and consent. and have no reason for denying
It, do not know that the authenticity OF the
dispatch had been Questioned, except what hare
read In the papsrA All OF the gentlemen whose
names appear - signers to the dispatch. were.
am convinced, aware OF the nature OF the docu-
ment, and signed II OF their own accord and
viii not dispute it, authenticity. have moth
ing pefsonal against Mr.. Wallace. On tho con-
tfayy. We srs friends In . business way. Ny
principal objection 10 Mr.. Wallace 10 stated in
the d!spa;ch sent TO the president His position
or the central committee II an accidental one,
and hc does not voice the sentiments OF the
Democrats OF Warrington. He il . new man In
the party and appears in much the same role a.
usurper. I am with John Collins In this mat
ter. Our ideas are exactly alike. OF course,
an aware OF the history OF the whole case, Be.
ginning ut the time Wallace secured his place
on the committee, down to the present time. but
do not nov feel ss liberty to divulge any
thing.
TACOMA, June l2-[Special.] More forg-
cry. President Malone. Of the Till,cums,
says some Of the war horses bit off their
own noses in trying to defame Wallace in
the following telegram sent from here
April %:
b. r. .ossey. Warrington City: Wallace and
Brien not authorized u act Tor city central
committee. We heartily indorse you for post
master
LEROY PALxxs.
Secretary and Delegate at Large.
NJ Down. Member second Ward.
MILES W. GIBBONS. Member Third Ward
JANIS Dorsey. Member Fourth Ward.
''After reading that" exclaimed Mr..
Malone, with q broad smile, President
Cleveland turned around and appointed
Case postmaster Of Tacoma"
OF course the reason Why Cleveland did
just what tho war horses did not want
him to do Is assumed by the Tillicums to
be the fact that the telegram was . lie
and forgery on its face. Mr.. Malone ex-
planned it:
Why. Jim Dorsey and Nike Dowd will very
likely bring an action to prosecute these fell
lows. Ii Dowd Is defeated for the Olympia land
Office he will sue the people who sent that Dis
patch and signed his name to IL for big dam
chances With the president Besides Dorsey
was candidate for the Tacoma deputy COL
lectorship and Wallace was supposed to b the
friend Of both him and Dowd, and then to
think OF them getting and sending that telc.
gram! II was absurd in the extreme. l don't
wonder that il disguised the president 1t fur
nishes good cause for action on the part OF
Dowd and Dorsey, anyway.
Mr.. Malone said il he were in Wallace's
Ss~h
solemn protest" telegram were sent to
the president and cabinet. he certainly
would sue the senders Of it.
National Committeeman Wallace was as
busy today As usual, and would not say
what he would or would not do. or what
he thought or did not think. Col.
Chauncey w. Griggs was also very busy.
but when he started out on the same old
story about building up the state of Wash
ington and keeping his fingers out of poll
tics. 20 far as trying to run things polite
ally is concerned, o Posr-ISTELLIeEScER
bureau reporter thought it good chance
to draw from him what it is that he is
doing to develop in the state ut large, all
previous efforts having failed.
Shortly after Mr.. Wallace's departure
Col. Griggs also went East, but he did not
go TO Washington City. albeit it is ex.
pected that he would have gone there If
he had been Endorsed by the Commercial
Club as one of the commissioners to ap-
praise the Puyallup reservation and ar
range for the sale OF the land. But it will
be remembered that ut the final moment
Chairman Henry Drum and others tipped
over the proposition and prevented the
club from indorsing. And now Col. Griggs
says.
never asked for any FEDERAL ONCE. and dom:
want any. want good. clean government
aud men Of integrity in once. When was
about To leave the city recently on business

the reservation. did not aud do not now want

along the state am ready and willing To do IT,
That. then. was the way in which he
was pu, forward for the Puyallup reserva-
ton com missionership--ac to Col.
Griggs. But the Tiliicums affirm that il
was a deep-laid plot TO get Col. Griggs in
position TO appear before the president
clothed with an excuse to be received
However, Col. Grigss consulted with lum-
bermcn, the big lumber kings of Michigan.
Wisconsin and Minnesota, whether from
choice or not it does not matter, aud
Hugh c. Wallace looked after the politics
not without vexas;ous interterences. On
