How He Tried to Protect Himself Againss
the Borrower. =
Found in the Sulpician seminal
ry in Paris and presented to Worces-
ter college by G. Goodwin, the find
er, is. what one RAY read on the
back of a frame containing letter
which was written by George Wash
ington, and which now hangs on the
walls of the cabinet in Holy Cross
college, Worcester, Mass. The pre-
else manner in which the letter, sent
by the retired general to Matthew
Carey of Philadelphia, was carried
to Franco and then returned to
Worcester is not known.
The Rev. Peter Blenkinsop. S. j..
now in Philadelphia, and the Oldest
living ex-president of Holy Cross,
remembers that G. Goodwin, who is
mentioned in the inscription, was
clergyman of Boston and an init
mate friend of Bishop Fenwick, the
founder of the college. The Rev.
George Goodwin studied in Paris,
and it is likely that he obtained he
letter.
Matthew Carey, to whom the let
ter was addressed, was a young
Irish journalist who was obliged to
flee from his native land He went
to Paris, where he met Benjamin
franklin, then representing the
United States at the court of Yer
sailles. 1t is very probable that it
was during his stay in Paris that he
met Lafayette, who is mentioned in
the letter. :.
Franklin assisted Carey, and sub
sequently the young Irishman went
to Philadelphia, where he began to
publish The Pennsylvania Herald
Nov. Is, 1884. This is undoubtedly
The Evening Herald named in the
letter.
The note was penned by Wash
ington while he was living in retire.
ment at Mount Vernon. The little
note tells that the retired general
was anxious to keep acquainted. by
means of his newspapers, with the
happenings of his country, and how
he would outwit the mail pilferers
The letter is preserved in the cabi-
net of the college and rests beside
one that was written by the Irish
poet, Tom Moore. It reads:
| MOUNT VERNON, 18th Mar, 1885.

GLENDALE
Kicker Hutchison Talks Silver to the
Fruit Growers

GLENDALE, Oct. 20.-A rousing Bry-
an meeting was held at Glendale on
Monday evening. Judge Guthrie and
Edward L. Hutchison were the speak
ers.
Judge Guthrie made an exhaustive
analysis Of the money question and won
frequent applause by witty references
to the constantly varying position Of
Hanna's statesmen.
He told an interesting story Of a
speech which he heard John Sherman de-
liver at his home at Mansfield, Ohio,
over forty years ago. At the close Of
Sherman's speech an uncle of his re-
marked that John had found his ele-
ment when he fell into politics, and that
if he thought there was an honest hair
anywhere in his head he would never
rest till the uncongenial hair was re-
moved from it's lurking place."
Sherman's unholy alliance with the
money grabbers was exposed in most
convincing manner.
Mr.. Hutchison traced the rise of mo-
nopolies and the decline of small deal
ers and farmers and millers, which has
been such a remarkable feature of the
last thirty years Of American history.
He drew graphic picture of the pres
ent condition of the people of the mid
die states and predicted that unless the
monetary reform should come soon
bankruptcy would overtake the major
iy of the people of the Mississippi val
ley. But he believed from what he
had seen during a recent tour of that
section that Bryan would be elected
and that congress would be overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of silver coinage, and also
that the country would enter upon a
new, era Of prosperity.
