they saw him plucking a grouse and
on this testimony he was convicted.
Vaughan was arrested yesterday at

Time-.-Deaied

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE New
York Herald published a story today
that the progressive republicans had
decided to back Judge Hughes for
president and that Senator LaFollet-
te would WITHDRAW at the proper
time"
Medil Mccormick, at progressive
headquarters, issued a statement de-
claring it was a plot of the regulars
10 injure the progressives and that
Justice Hughes has already refused
the consideration of his name, so
there is not truth in the story.
Mr.. Mccormick in his statement
said: None of the progressives are
allied with the movement to control
the 1872 convention, have declared
for Justice Hughes.
Some of Mr.. Hughes friends start
ed a canvas in his behalf, but the
judge nipped the plan in the bud
and would not allow his name to be
cor sidered.
The fact IS that the reactionaries
are already attempting to create the
impression that tie men managing
the progressive movement are play
ing backstairs politics. proves that
the prosressives' strength is alarm
ing to those who know nothing but
the old game of politics."
