Clarksburg on the 18th, bought
a ticket for Auburn Junction,
Indiana. The first run was to
grafton; left there at 1925 a. m.
The run was made mostly in the
night. After a short sleep at

!. lls miles north. The road is
through a fine country. The
farms are in fine condition. The
grass is abundant, corn looks
fine, The orchards are loaded
with apples. l notice some wheat
and plenty of oats standing in
shock. Thousands of acres Of
oats are almost y total loss, and
vet the loss is not so great, as
oats are only bringing from 13
to 10 cents a bushel, and corn is
not much better. The people in
Michigan have a fine country,
quite productive, and easy to

Lansing is a splendid city of
1900 inhabitants. The streets
are broad, we'll shaded, and many
of them are paved with fire

THE PRESIDENT DISGUsTED.

His Trusted Advisers Have Kept
Him in ignorance Of the situa-
ton.
The Washington correspondent of
The st. Louis Republic says
am told that Mr.. Cleveland is dis
gusted and angry. Light is breaking
in on him. He felt convinced, until
quite recently, that the Chicago con-
vention would heartily endorse his ad-
mlnlStratlon and declare for sound
money. Mr.. Cleveland keeps himself
very secluded. He only hears from
the country through few New York
newspapers, his mugwump friends and
the members OF his cabinet. 1t is one
OF the weaknesses of Mr.. Cleveland
that be prefers the voice Of sycophants
to men Of truth and candOr. Those
who enjoy his confidence and have
easy access to him arc the men who
continually pour into his ear his i'm
mcnse popularity throughout the coun-
try, and the eagerness Of the masses
to endorse his policy. The member of
his cabinet from Alabama tried to con-
vince him that Alabama was for sound
money long after the primaries had
rolled up an immense majority for
silver, almost up to the moment that
the State convention elected q silver
delegation to Chicago. 1t is informa-
tlon like this that has mslcd the Pres
ident. Now, the truth cannot be
concealed from him, that the Demo
Gratis OF tho West and South favor the
free coinage Of silver by a large ma
jority. The truth was a shock to him.
1t was unexpected, and ! am told
that when he finally became convinced
his language was very plain, and the
members OF his cabinet had several
uncomfortable hours with him. The
cabinet men arc still trying to latter
him with the belief that things will
look better at Chicago than indica-
tions at this time from the West and
South would lead one to believe. 1t
was TO find out the exact state of affairs
that Chairman Harrity, Of the National
C0mmlltcc, was summOnd here to con-
fer with the President. Mr.. Harrity
toll MIR. Cleveland that he was hope
full, and his response was: ooh, damn
your hope; / want to know facts. "
Then MIR. Harrity set forth facts. and
they were not at all to tho Presidents
taste.
The silver leaders here, so am in
formed, are preparing to DO what the
Blaine men did at the Republican con-
ventlon of 1854 that is, set aside the
person designated for temporary chair
man OF the convention by the National
Committee, and elect q man suitable
to the majority of the delegates. This
can be done undoubtedly, and from
present appearances it will be done
at Chicago unless tho National Com
mltJcc names man for Temporary
chairman who is satisfactory to the
silver leaders.

GEN. LEE IN HAvANA.-Gcn. FitZ-

destination on the Bird inst. by the
steamer Mascottc. Tho steamer was
met by Il gayly decorated tug upon
which were Messrs. Williams and

representing tho captain general. and
the agent OF the steamship line. The
party boarded the Mascottc and cx-
tended u cordial welcome to General
Lee.
General Bradley 7. Johnston and q
number OF other Americans with a
number OF citizens met General Lee
ashore. On the wharf he was recc ivcd

monstratiOn as he entered a handsome
carriage, with the coachmen and foot
man in Senior Znldo's livery, and was
driven to the Hotel Yglaterra, where
MIR. Williams had previously secured
a fine suite OF rooms for his successor.
General Lee partOok Of coffee and
then retired for a short rest, as he was
very tired in consequence of the rough
passage from Key West.
General Lee has already made quito
favorable impression by his quiet,
gentlcmanly behavior and pleasant
conversation. The correspondent of
the Associated Press was among those
who went to meet General Lee and
was the only newspaper representative
who was enabled to do so.

ment that none of the property Of the

tlon prompted me to write tho above

possibly by the owner OF s0mc of the

officer OF the bank. At all events, he
employed language that | then con-
sldered very offensive, probably at the

If at all, or being entirely ignorant Of
