WAS SINNED AGAINST
A Guiteau Story That Has Never
Before Been Printed
The Crank Was Promised an once
SY a Campaign Oficinl = DisnR-
pOintment Finally Drove
Him wildly Mad.
Especial washington letter.

Tom Cavanaugh has been deputy ser
9eant-at-arms of the republican ma
tional committee, and in that capacity
has participated in half dozen presi-
Dental campaigns. He has intimate
knowledge of public affairs.
.Whenever the anniversary of the as
sassination of President Garfield rolls
around" says Mr.. Cavanaugh, i am
reminded of my part in that Tragedy.
In 1880 the crank, Guiteau, came to ma
tional headquarters at 241 Fifth avenue,
New York city, and daily demanded
audience either with Chairman Jeweli
or Secretary Hooker. put him of on
various pretexts, until he annoyed and
fretted me beyond endurance.
s.you know that cranks are thicker n
flies about national committee head
quarters They all have schemes and
new political plans whereby the enemy
will be oyerthrown. Wen, Guiteau had
an idea that, with financial aid, he could
make speeches in French for Garfield,
and carry the French quarters OF New
York and Chicago. He wanted to work
for the republican party, and he wanted
money. All of these eranks have
xnoney-1naking idea back OF their
schemes.
"It has always been my duty to see
these fellows first, and keep them away
from the managers, if possible. But
this fellow, Guiteau, was so persistent
that / finally told Secretary Hooker TO
see him, make him a promise of some
kind, and get rid of him. Well, at last
Hooker saw him, told him that his
scheme was good one, but the COM
mittee had already covered that field in
another way, and told him that his zeal
would be rewarded after Garfield's cleo
ton. That satisfied Guiteau, and he
ceased annoying me. l heard after
ward that he was out west somewhere
making speeches on his own hook, and
working for the ticket. l never knew
where he got the money with which to
defray his expenses.
sEarly in March, 1881, / saw the
same fellow at the white house. /
smiled to myself, thinking how easily
i had gotten rid of him, and wondering
how the white house people would dis
pose Oh nIll. saw hihh AAS1h~heAy
about the public parks, and finally
heard that he had shot the president.
was surprised, because, although |
knew him for crank, never for mo-
nent believed that he was of the dam
gerous variety.
II originally made the suggestion
that promise be made to him to get
rid of him. That is an old trick with
politicians, but have never since made
a promise that 1 didn't intend to carry
out. There was no sincerity whatever
in the promise that was made to Gui-
teau. The poor crank believed that he
was bound to get some good Office.
President Garfield saw him twice and
listened to his story. Guiteau wanted to
be sent as consul to Lyons, France.
President Garfield told him that, if
Hooker made that promise, it should
he kept This also elated Guiteau.
Hooker afterwards saw Garfield, and
thereafter Garfield refused to see Gui-
teau.
.sHe went to the white house every
day until the middle of June. Then,

tirely fair and just to the south. MY

Taylor, and recently he wrote truth
full and very instructive article con-
tanning his observations of the people,
especially the conflict between the
white and negro races in those islands.
This sketch was declined by every
northern magazine of republican in
stincts-declined because its conclusion
did not tally with republican policy;
but it was promptly accepted by the
Midland Monthly, and Mr.. Green adj
vises our people to contribute to it and
patronize it. MFR. Green, a weH-known
scion of that very notable and able gem

screen writing private letters, I heard
heavy voice ask if the governor was
in. Il didn't like the voice, and stepped
from behind my screen, just as the
clerk near the door, who was reading
paper, said that the governor was in
and that the stranger could see him.
stepping before the stranger, pow
erful fellow he was, / closed the door
and informed him that the governor
not see him Immediately. He was
angry, and intimated that he would go
in anyway, but I smiled at him pleas
antly, and soothingly asked hiTa to sit
down and read the morning paper un-
til the governor could find time to sea
him. Finally he complied with my re-
quest, and as he sat down heard some-
thing in his coat pocket strike the
chair. quickly turned my face away,
SO that he could not catch my eye to see
whether or not had heard that sound.
Very quietly I called the colored man,
and told him to admit my friend. The
big crank before me never looked up.
Inside of five minutes he was in the
grasp of two policemen. 1t required
also the aid of two more men to control
him while he was searched. In his
coat pocket was a42-cafiber revolver. He
was an escaped lunatie from an asylum
in western state, and was returned to
that institution. So, you see, one cam

the president, he stated to several of the
white house employees that he had called
for the last time. He never called
again He was never seen about the
white house. His disappointment had
worn upon his nerves for many weeks.
Finally. when the president refused to
see him, he became violently insane.
From that day his one aim was to find
an opportunity to commit murder.
Finally the opportunity came, and his
deadly purpose was accomplished,
Charlie Cooper, for years confidential
private secretary to Gov. Foraker and
Gov. Mckinley of Ohio, was an atten-
tive listener to the above narrative.
He said: 'tSince coming to Washing
ton i have been surprised to note the
carelessness or laxity of discipline about
the president. don't know whether
anyone is to blame ornot. But it seems
10 me that access to the president is en-
tirely too easy. The governors were
looked after more carefully. During
the presidential campaign Maj. McKin-
ley was guarded all the time, although
there was no ostentation Of police pres
ence and protection Cranks are al
ways likely to appear about executive
mansions, and precautions cannot be
too complete TO cope with them, when
ever an eTner rgency may arise.
"Fer example, while Mckinley was

THE CANNON. ONE WONDERS FOREST


the idea that these trees are standing
upright, that they have roots, and that
they have branches, is a complete err
ror, and has not the slightest founda-
ton in fact. Indeed, it is considered as
very doubtful that these immense pet
.rified logs grew within many miles of
the place where they are now found.
The supposition of the scientists is
that they flowed into what was then
an inland lake or basin from some
higher region, where a tremendous
flood had washed the great forest out
of existence. The recumbent trees
were then, during the subsequent cen
turies, covered with mud, sand and
limestone many thousands of feet deep,
and thus subjected to an immense pres
sure, and heat.
There must have been iron and other
minerals in the substances that washed
down and covered the trees, as well
as lime to solidify them, for, now that
thousands upon thousands of years
have passed away, and the overlying

strata have been washed down by the
disintegrating forces of the centuries,
these once proud and lofty trees are
found TO be not only solid stone, but
colored into such variety of hues and
shades as to be the delight of the
collector and the charm of the artist

He is one of the best-known characters
of the west. There are few people
in the west who do not know Adam

born pioneer. He was the sheriff in

sAs, La. SATURDAY, JULY y, 1899.

Little Colorado river, watching his in
creasing bands of cattle and horses,
and, now and again, take out a few
tourists to the wonderful forest near
by.
] have been out to the petriied forest
number of times, sometimes with
Adam and sometimes without him. But
the trip is not complete without the
presence of the genial and vigorous
Scotchman.
After crossing the river, not far from
Hanna's house. the drive is over COM
paratively level country towards line
miles away. On reaching these cliffs
we find number of bays and promon-
tories, which make canyons and ravines
into which we can drive and ride for
purposes of exploration. Here we find
the logs scattered about in confusion
| in every direction. Strange to say, all
the trees are split up into logs, and
equally strange is the fact that if one
tries to split log the fracture is q
longitudinal one, while all the old
| fractures are transverse. Sticking out
of the cliff walls all around us are Sec
/ tions of trees AS the soft material of
| which the walls are composed is washed
| away, more of the. trees become ex-
| posed, and in time are released from
their matrix, only to roll down and
| join the great mass on the level. The
/ results of this constant disintegration
1 are seen in the most peculiar carvings
or sculptures of the soft rock which
surround these trees. Yonder is o
group which looks like dwarfish man
and his wife, whilst here to the left
a bold pillar stands out, SO or more
feet high, crowned with the head of q
tremendous eagle. Yonder, on hill,
is a 20-foot log of jasper and agate, so
resting on the brow of the hill that
! it looks for all the world like cannon,
| a natural fortress to exclude people
| from the region of the beautiful stones.
A little over half a mile away on the
. southwest side of this bluff the soil has
been so washed away as to cut ra-
vine right underneath one of the very
/ few almost perfect trees found in the
forest. So that here we have natural
bridge formed out of petrifed tree.
This tree was originally over 200 feet
high, and is now so large in diameter
