Promptly Denied by One of the
Alleged Participants in

MILWAUKEE. Oct. 22.-The journal
says: Senator Sherman's book, Just
from the press is reviving u great deal
of unwitten history in regard to the ma
tional Republican convention of 1880,
when James A Gortield was nominated
for the presidency. In his book, Sena-
tor Sheman, without making direct
charge, intimates that Garfield, as his
manager, i'll the race for the presidential
nomination, betrayed him. The sons Of
the late President Garfield deny, this,
and threaten a complete exposure
of the affair. In 1888, while

Chicago, and was by him introduced to
Senator Cullom of Illinois, and in the
course OF the conversation that followed
Senator Cullom referred to the national
he mentioned was the fact that secret
meeting had been called by General
Garfield of leading men of the party,
whom he could trust, to be held before
the opening of the convention, in

hotel Senator Cullom was present at
this meeting, and SO was E. b.
Washburn of Illinois, then in the race
as presidential candidate. General
Garfield then and there outlined his
plans, by which he was himself to Sc
cure the nomination, which SO disgusted
Washburn that he got up and left the

hours later Garfield went into the con.
vention and nominated Senator Sher

est effort Of his life, while his hench-
men in different parts of the convention
hall did their part in his own behalf.

polish and veneer upon the innovation,
elevating it to a standard both artistic
and elaborate.
If the dancing bloomerite is to be
seen in all her variegated vanity, fasci-
mating freedom, or grotesque glory the
upper west side of the town is the
place to find her. 1t is almost needless
to say that the style or fad has not
been copied from the Four Hundred.

spasms of horror were it limited that
they should dance, or enter ball room

costume decreed by fashion.
Just at the present, the kings and
queens and all the princes and prin-
cesses of society cannot tolerate the
idea of a bloomer ball How long this
state of mind will hold its own against
the onward rush of the much-discussed
garments is a question which time
alone can decide.
An Interesting Spectacle.
But the bloomer ball of the present
is very interesting event and well
worthy the attention of any one who is
in a position to take in the spectacle.
Already there are different grades of
this new society function. Coney island
has, with it's accustomed voracity in
dealing with new ideas, been the scene
of several dances in which gaudy and
cheap limitations of the bloomerite were
brazenly conspicuous. The affair al

It was a difficult matter, at first to
gain an idea of the stations in life of
the dancers. The men represented
many classes. clerks, would-be swells,
a few of the genuine article, prosperous
business men, others whose faces are
familiar in the betting rings of the big
race track, some happy-go-lucky chaps

Perhaps the tight leggings tof the one,
and the tight knickerbockers of the

or it may have been due to a mutual
thought that they showed off to better

Decorous and Quiet.
There were but a dozen numbers on
the dancing card and before midnight
the last one was over. No unseemly
levity marked the night, in fact the
ever present bloomer seemed to act as
a restraint When the young women
sat down after a dance one and all
tucked their feet as far under the
chairs as they possibly could, thus re-

COLE DAN"
He Had Close Gail. But He Wasn't
quite Licked.

There was an old raftsman on the
Susquehanna river whose proud boast
it is that he has never been whipped
in a fight. This means a good deal, for
the sturdy raftsmen are all splendid
specimens. Fights over the most triv-
ial matters are of daily occurrence.
''Ole DAN as he is called, has now
grown very feeble and rheumatic, but
he is never tired of recounting his ex-
PLOTS as a fighter, when he was a
young man. The old fellow always
stoutly affirms that he has never been
licked, but after a good deal Of press
ing, he can sometimes remember that
he once came very near being soundly
thrashed.

great fighter, but isn't Bob just as
great?
'On the day of the fight know that
i will be terribly nervous and suffer a
good deal more than the men in the
ring. This is only natural, as it means
so much to us. When Bob wins we will
he rich.
why do 1 think Bob will win? Well,
in the first place, he has been in SO
many hard fights where his opponents
were reckoned invincible, yet he de-
feated them all with comparative ease.
Take his fight with Jack Dempsey, for
instance. At that time Dempsey was
considered a marvel; he was at his best
and remember that at the time a
theatrical manager was seriously con-
sidering the ACCESSIBILITY of backing
him against John L. Sullivan. That
shows how good Dempsey was when
Bob defeated him. Dan Creedon, jim
Hall and Peter Maher were all easily
disposed of by Bob-so easily, in fact,
that no one knows just how good Bob
is. That will be shown, though, within
a short time"
Mrs. FitZsimmons will accompany her
husband and his party to Texas, but
will remain in Galveston while the
fight is in progress She will have bull
letins sent to her by a special wire,
which will tell the story of the contest
round by round. The party will prob
ably leave for the Lone Star state on
Oct T. travelling in special Pullman and
baggage cars, which have already been
arranged for. Mrs. Fitzsimmons will
personally attend to the preparation
of the fighters food while on the road
and in Texas. The baggage car will
be fitted with gymnastic appliances,
which will allow Fitzsimmons to con-
tinue his training without interruption.
The 0t1Ier Side.
j Now for the other side. The present
Mrs. James j. Corbett, known far and
wide as the Vera in a recent divorce
suit, is an unusually pretty woman of
the blonde type, and has also been
identified with the vaudeville world
She has not the all-round knowledge
of pugilism that Mrs. F7itzsimmons
has, but she has unbounded faith in
the cleverness of her husband. The
training of fighter is all Greek to her
and it is one of Corbett's favorite
amusements to show her the difference
between a right-hand swing and left
hand jab. When she watches her hus-
band punch the bag and notes the
wonderful speed and terrific power of
the blows, she marvels at the audacity
of anyone who willingly gets in the
way of them.
Jim Can't Lose.
EDO think Jim will win in the big
fight? Why. that is most useless
question. How can I help thinking so?
Isn't he the champion of the world
and hasn't he whipped all the other
big fighters? I wonder at the hardi-
hood of anyone who should challenge
him, though. 1t seems like flying in
the face Of fate.
Jim says that after this fight he
will retire from the ring, and on this
account I will be glad when it is all
over, for fighting is a very hard bust
ness. know if I were man 1 would
never be a fighter. 1t must be terrible
to be hit in the face the way jim
punches the bag.
How do know Jim will win? Why,
he says so himself, and he knows as
much about fighting as anyone Be
sides, l can't see how he can lose. That
may be true woman's reason, but it
is the best 1 can give
