MURAT HALSTEAD CHIMES IN
Tells What He Knows About Garfield
Conduct at Chicago.
eMPHATlcALlY DlsAGREEs WITH SHERMAN
Honest and Honorable Efforts In be-
half of OhiO's FnvOrite-Pocket
Interview with COnkiing
Declined by Garfield.

Copyright. 1895, by s. S. Mcclure, Limtea.)
NEW YORK, Nov 2O.-Mr. Murat Hal
stead, in talk yesterday, declared his be-
lief in Garfeld's integrity. Mr.. Halstead
knew John Sherman at the beginning OF
his political career, and became acquainted
with Garfield at the time he was first prom
inent In response to question Mr.. Hal
stead said:
II was well informed about the contest
in the republican national convention held
in Chicago when Garfield was the head OF
the Ohio delegation and the accredited
leading supporter of Sherman for the presi-
Dental nomination, but himself received that
nomination. The bark and pith Of what l
know is embodied in forthcoming article
for McClure's Magazine The scope OF that
article you will gather from its title-"The
Drama of Garfeld's Presidency; His Nom
nation, Election, Administration and AS
sassination." l was not present at the con-
vention for the reason that was not certain
should support the nomination, and desired
to be at my desk in my office when the
nomination was made"
''Was General Garfield personally aware
OF his candidacy at the convention, and was
he actively concerned in his nomination."

told him 1t was my busy day. but informed
him that l had a bottle of bourbon on hand
and we sat down at the cid pine table and
indulged AS he left me he said: I think /
would licked you, but you see I'm layin'
for that id preacher And il find him !
reckon I'll want the press for friend, for
it's power in a lawsuit
II never heard whether he found the
preacher. l sold my office soon after and quit
the country.
THAT was quite an election we had last
Tuesday. l thought / would stop over to

would change the result"

be verified until the plants were growing in
the field, he would give him $50.
On returning home Barton told his son
what Maxon had said, and few days later
Clarence and his father rode over to Adams
and to Maxons seed barns The sack OF
mixed peas was dumped into picking tray,
and after handful Of each of the three
varieties (Which luckily, Mr.. Maxon had
were mixed, were shown to the boy for
comparison, he went to work. Maxon
doubted the boys ability to accurately separ-
ate the peas, and said so. but Clarence kept
right along diligently at work until the
seeds were sorted, only remarking when hs
drove away with his father:
IN ccme after that $50 next fall, Mr..
| Maxon!"
| 1t was with good deal of doubt and mis-
giving that Mr.. Maxon put those peas in
the ground last spring. but about the mid
die OF last month he sent check payable
to the order of Master Clarence Barton
not for $50. but for 800. So far as could be
discovered not single error had been made
in the sorting.
The boys sense of touch is also marvel
ou9y acute. He can name all the prime
colors by simply touching his fingers TO-
whatever possesses the coor-cloths, draper
les, painted or colored woods flowers, etc.
Another remarkable test, and one which
has caused no end OF wonder here, is what
young Barton calls the typewriter test. In
this test the typewriter carriage is turned
back, and the lad places the tip of his fore
finger directly over where the types are
brought against the ribbon and as the KEYS
are manipulated by a skillfu operator he
reads the words as fast as they are written
against his finger. This is considered here
as being the most remarkable case of the
kind on record.
A favorite amusement with young Barton
is said to be the drawing of pictures of ami
malculae which he is able to discern with
the naked eye In glass of common spring
water, but which to others would require a
strong microscope to discover.
Otherwise, the lad is much as all boys Of
his age-full Of life and fun. He is quick to
learn, and he has already absorbed all that
the teachers in his school district have to-
offer in the way of book knowledge.
Omaha daily bee., 1895-11-24

General Garfield certainly knew he was
being pressed for the nomination In that con-
yenton, and knew 1t from the first; but /
have always thought those who were en-
gagged In the management for him were at
particular pains not to let him know what
they were about. My recollection Is that he
had one vote on each ballot for the first
thirty. But he did not get up and withdraw
his name just because one man was voting
for him. and It would have been regarded as
ridiculous II he had. The man who per-
emp'orly refuses soiis'n'hs "hish mas hot

that characterize national conventions. is
suspected OF advertising aud liable TO be

UNDERCURRENT IN HIS FAVOR.
From the first day Of the convention
there was an undercurrent in Garfeld's
favor. He could not help being conscious

he could have prevented II. l have

HONEST AND HONORABLE.

HUN IISI AND T1OINOHHbIID.
81 think General Garfield was honest and
honorable. He meant to do the right thing,
and l know he was disturbed by what he
knew to be the inevitable implication upon
him and his motives for being nominated
himself when he had accepted the duty of
doing all that was in his power to nominate
somebody else. He was particularly anxious
and concerned as to what Mr.. Sherman would
think, and worried some of his friends about
that till they bscame impatient with him.
But l did not think then, and / don't think
now, that this was a manifestation of con-
scious guilt. AS for his desire to be presi-
dent General Garfield was brought here upon
various preeXts, the real purpose being

Senator Conkling was not to be found pos

brave thought to earn sufficient money to-
lift a mortgage from the small farm, the
young girl came to Washington, and, after
many rebufs and disappointmen,s. secured
a position In the seed division OF the Agrl-

of time when the savings would be enough
to tighten the mortgage, and the dear OLE

other place were fruitless, and Washington
seemed big and strange and lonely. Befoye
giving up and going home she made one final

aid her with his influence In obtaining govA

Chicago, Aug H-The first thing to ab- sorb the attention of wheat traders today diction of frosts for North and South Da- kota, Minnesota, Nebraska and Wisconsin Prices had opened on fresh stories of great yields of spring wheat, some positions of Manitoba giving forty-fiye bushels to the acre, but when the government weather in- .dcations were isued the impulse was to buy and a rise of about 1c was accomplished be- fore a halt was called Then the question was as to the damage from a slight freeze arose and no definite theory was forthcom- ing. Those who bought proceeded to sell out and the gain was lost. Bradstreets re- port of decrease of 100000 bushels in the world available stocks had bearish effect, although the figures were close to what had
 been expected September wheat opened from 66A to 66ssc, sold between G71s and G53sc, closing at 66M66bc, %c under yesterday. Sample lots were lower to agree with the futui ies.
 Corn-When other conditions have exer- cised an influence on corn the minds of traders in that grain revert to the crop.
 Frost predictions this morning were re- sponsible for the firmneSS which character ized the early business in this market today. It was conceded that some injury might fol- low such an early freeze, but when some ad- had carere1 the feeling changed and prices
 began to move in the opposite direction. The movement of wheat exercised an ad- verse influence and the knowledge that even
 with loss of g portion of the crop there
 was still remaining all extraordinary pro- duction helped along the decline. Septem-, Der corn opened At 33c, sold between SS7s and
 STAG, closing at the inside, s4c under yes-
 terday. Cash corn was bsc higher early but closed weak and with the advance lost. Oats-On the presumption that prices for corn argued the same for oats, the talent bought only in preference to selling. When the other grains elected to decline oats pur- sued like course, but the trade was so light that the extent of the range of prices for the day was but ssc September oats
 closed unchanged from yesterday. Cash oats were quiet and steady.
 Provisons-Packers and the general run of traders in product were sellers today. The hog market was in worse state this morning than on any day yet, as everything dealt in on the floor was in a declining mod: The business in provisions was not at all important however, and altogether the ses- sion was without noteworthy feature. Clos ing prices were 22t2c lower for September pork 2lac lower for September lard ana JUG lower for September ribs
 Domestic market were quiet and easy and foreign were steady.
