AGONIZING RAILROAD HORROR.
Coachew vt h Women :< I Children rumble
Off a ! rhV’c Hie D< a<l and Injured.
Crksk ?, la . Feb. 10.- An appalling acci
dent occur ?ed on the Burlington railroad nt a
small stream ten miles west of here Sunday
evening. As the New York fast mail ap
proached the bridge a rail broke beneath the
forward cars of the train. The rear coaches
were thrown from the track by the defection.
They toppled along on the ties until they were
on the bridge, when the two rear coaches and
the sleeper careened and fell from the bridge
into an icy abyss below, carrying down about
twenty-five passengers, many of whom were
women and children. The escape from gen
eral destruction was marvelous, as the cars
are badly wrecked and the fall a desperate
one. The coaches fell bottom upward into the
stream, crushed through the ice and wedged
into the chilly water, were held until the
front end of the train could be pulled out and
a relief crew returned.
The scene at the return of the front cars
was distressing in the extreme. A number of
gentlemen, whose families were in the coa'dies,
being forward in the smoker at the time of the
were apprised of the distress that at
tended the wives and children by the agoniz
ing appeals for aid. and screams of pain that
came from the battered mass of debris. A
force of rescue was hastily organized, and,
armed with axes, strong men hewed their way
into the imprisoned dead and wounded.
The rc.ie inside of the <ar was uur-aTn-*.
Many wno were not killed were knocked un
conscious by dismantled seats and debris, and
lay limp and helpless. It was at first thought
that the number of dead, wa; very large, but
on recovery from the wreck, and on the ar
rival of medical aid, which was hastily pro
cured by the company, many revived and
were able to be transferred to this city, where
every attention is being shown them. The
following is a list of th* kill- d and wounded:
Killed—Robert Brown, Mount Pleasant,
la.. Mrs. Powell, New Albany, Jud.: Mix
W. C. Carroll, San Gache, Col.
Injured—A. B. Cole, Grand Rapids, Mich.;
C. H. Howell, sleeping car conductor; G. R.
Hawkins, conductor; A. J. Lindsey, Creston,
la,: W. J. Davenport, Burlington, la.; Dr.
W. C. Cai Toll, San Gache, Col.; Mrs. M.
Farrell, Prescott, la.* Isaiah Wdterman,
Coming, la.
The accident was unforseen, and was due to
the change in the weal her during the last few
days.
PRIVATE HENRY’S JOURNAL.
It Tells of the Sufferings of Lieut. Greely’®
Party in the Arctic Region®.
Washington, Feb. 10 —The journal of
Private Henry, who was sh< t for stealing pro
visions, by order of Lieut. Greely, in the Arc
tic regions, covering the jieriod between Oc
tober, 1883, and June, 1884, has been made
public. He writes under date of May 3:
“He (Whistler) who vas 1 id in his de
nunciation of the unfortunate who was
tempted to purloin a scrap of meat, was to
day caught in commissary, having broken
open the door, and was found with about a
pound of meat in his pocket.”
The entry May 11 is;
“Cowardly action in Greely in wanting to
ehoot Dr. P.; also drew rifle on Bender. Calls
Kislingbury a liar and apologizes to enlisted
men.”
Four ’ays later is the following:
“Y torday Biederbeck and Whistler had a
row ou 1 of doors ami some one stole Elison’s
bacon, which was under charge of Lieut.
Greely. The terrible struggling of death by
starvation actually had no terror for us; we
looked on with stolid indifference up»n our
coming fate. A few hours before d ath in
stead of craving for food they kept cal) e g for
water and could hardly be controlled or satis
fied. All, with one exception, were uncon
scious for hours before dying. Poor
Lock wood came out of his bag
to stand in the alley way while moon
shine dis-tilery was goin : on, and was the last
to receive his potation. Ere the rest of us
bail their share, he requested a repetition of
the dose from the officiating stewart, and,
upon being reprimarub**] by the officer for
asking such a thing from the steward, he
turned around to the doctor and said: ‘Weil,
I will go to the fountainhead,’ and he re
peated his demand. Upon being absolutely
refused, he dropped to the floor, and hardly
ever opened hi® mouth again to utter another
word."
Ma> 28, after noting that Whistler is dying,
Henry says:
“Called in tent and informed that five men
made sworn statement that Pavy stole Eli
son's rations, and that the official record con
cerning it had been tampered with. A. W.
G. if he dues die, dies the death <»f a miserable
coward.”
Private Henry then sp.?ak.s of Whistler’s
death, and says that tea was found in his pock
ets, On May 28 is this entry;
.“Poor Kislingbury is sinking rapidly and the
doctor has given him up. Last. night Dr. P.
and Lieut G. had another squabble over
medicine. The majority of us fourteen have
given up all hopes of seeing our friends again,
but a few have still a chance at the conclusion
of this terrible tragedy to be welcomed with
universal acclamation as woi hy frontiers
men of Uncle Sam, and as men who have
made themselves immortal by a splendid vic
tory and innumerable sufferings hitherto in
comparable in the history of Arctic explora
tion and against all laws of nature.”
The notes of the first four days of June are
brief memoranda of the rapidly sinking con
dition of those left. These were male just
prior to his being shot.

T.ady Drops Dead in Church.
Bloomington, Ind., Feb. 10.—The congre
gation of College Avenue Methodist church
was thrown into intense excitement by Mrs.
Lizzie E. Sibert dropping dead, while in her
pew, of heart disease. She had just entered
Ihe room, had taken a seat, and was singing
the familiar hymn, “Rest in the Promise of
Jesus,” when she dropped to the floor without
a word of warning, dying in a few minutes.
Her little boy accompanied her. The scene so
affected the congregation that the regular
services were dispensed with. Mrs. Sibert was
a leading lady worker of the church, was con
nected with all missionary societies, and was
much beloved by the citizens.

a messenger just from Berti brings the news
that Gen. Earle, with his command, is making
rapid progress toward Berber, the objective

comprised of a <ictaehment of cavalry, at the
time of the runner’s departure from Berti,
had reached Shakoob wells, where he surprised
and put to flight a large body of rebels who
had encamped at the wells on t heir way to

Italy Ready to Take a Hand.
Rome, Feb. 10.—The news of the fall of
Khartoum causes great excitement in parlia
ment, where it is teared it will be necessary to
Fond tr<>ops to the interior of the Soudan.
On tills matter Prime Mancini says he will
not answer the numerous questions on the
Fubjcct which will lie brought forward in par
liament, but will only give the news that has
tirrived from the Soudan. Signor Mancini
thinks it will lie necessary to retake Khar
toum without delay, else not only English
; stige will be lost, but also European civil
h:.‘ion w ill t»e endangered.
The deputies pretend to know what the
terms of the agreement between Ensaiid and
are. arguing that they are unfavorable
to Italian interests and that Italy for the ask
ing could certainly improve the conditions.
In any ea#® time will have to lie allowed to
argue the (‘(invention which naturally will l>e
presents Ito the h< wise. The g< ivernment
not w’ish to engage in a war without the full
approval of parliament, the more ao liecause
the expedition to the Soudan will cost fifty
million lira
There is no news from Massowah, where no
telegraph exirts, about the Italian shij*. They
will, in any case, remain for some time before
Massowah prior to going tx> Assab. Signor
I ■anterriiie declared that the minority will
vote the credits, even as much a a hundred
t. iilion, for the Soudan. A small number
only will vote against it. In the chamber it
is not. thought that England will yet ask for
military aid.
VHint French and German Paper® Sar.
Paris, Feb. 10.—Now that later news fiom
lh« Soudan confirms the worst previously re
ceived about the fall of Khartoum, the corn
tmms of tho French press vary in their char
acter. The Figaro thinks that Gru. Gordon
mnv have escafied southward and reached
S< naar, where he would obtain the support of
friendly tribes. The Republique Frtm<wse
•ay® that gold was the only powrer in the
world that ever could have saved Gordon, and
fielieves that when it was not forthcoming
I Jordon was killed long ago. It also expresses
the belief that all the letters and messages
[ iirpirting to have been from Gen.
I rdon were fabrications issued by the
wily Mahdi for the purpose of ensnar
ing the English. 1® Franeais throws the
ah* Je blame for the Soudan disaster upon
? i Gladstone’s delays in sending relief to
• ion. Im Paix and lx) National are of tlie
II iii<m that England lias secured a valuable
Ally in Italy. Apart from those quoted,
the majority of the French papers make un
favorable comments uj>on England’s conduct
in Egypt, but without exception they all con
i ii m the statement that the gallantry of the
Briti h troops deserves nothing but praise,
and that Gordon’s heroism Las been of the
lofti< kind.
Bi. run. Feb 9.—The German pajiers here
nil ailribute the disaster at Khartoum to Mr.
Gladstone’s he-ii«t i<>n. They advise England
to take vigorous action to recapture Kliar
toiim and to suppress the Mahdi. The Ger
man press unanimously agree that the con
duct of Gen. Gordon throughout the entire
j nod of his warfare in Khartorm deserve®
nothing but encomiums.
Gen. Sherman on the Situation.
St. Louis, Feb. 10.—Gen. VV. T. Sherman
was interviewed on the situation in the Sou
dan. Jn nnsw er to the question, what should
WoL cley do, he said: “That is aquestion that
i! • one but Lord Wolseley ran answer. It
v. ould l>e foolish at this distance for one to
lay down a propramme. VVe do not know
anything about the situation. I believe that
Vi .lst* ley will push on from Korti to Metem
neh, concentrate there, and then take
the course that s<?ems best, whether
it is to entrench at Metemneh or to
push on to Khartoum. You see the
position is peculiar. At Korti,” be
said, “is Wolseley with al>out 4,.5(0
mt n. At Metemneh is Stewart’s command,
with a number of wounded. He is across the
de ert from Wolseley and, while it is neces
sary that the tw o forces should concentrate, it
is . cry much easier for Wolseley to go to Stew
art than for Stewart to go to W olseley. In
the meantime Gen. Earle is up the Nile and it
would probably be just as easy for him to go
on to Metemneh as to get back to Korti. I
do i <’t see how Stewart’s force can get back,
but 1 do not we any reason why Wolseley
should not get to Metemneh. There are other
reesmis why he should make his stand on the
Nib-, somewhere near Khartoum. I fancy
that supplies womd be easier to get near the
junction of the two Niles than at Korti. I
rather think that a forward movement will be
made. The Mahdi’s forces are very large and
they are brave and determined men. Now
that Khartoum has fallen they will have even
n .ore confidence in their leader, and it would
s- *jn that Wolseley is compelled to get his
trcHjps together as soon as possible. After
that is done there are a number of courses
that might be pursued.”
Arabi Pasha’s Opinion.
Ceylon, Feb. 10.—Arabi, in an interview
ujion the fall of Khartoum, said he believed
that before the capitula* ion of the city El
Mahdi had at least 150,000 soldiers in his
army. By soldiers Arabi said he meant only
men armed with spears. The prophet’s army,
Arabi continued, varied in size according to
th- news of the British success or reverse,
up’ <n which the disposition of the tribal chiefs
(k)x*nded. The capture of Kiiartoum, he be
lieved, would draw- all the Arab chiefs under
• the standard of El Mahdi. Around Khar-
b >um, Arabi thinks the prophet liad 70,000
men.

COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 12. 1885.
THEBAGEOFGKEYSTONE
AND GROVER CLEVELAND HAVE A
PRIVATE FAMILY TALK.
But Nobody Know® What It wm all About
Except Dan Manning and Hr Won’t
Tell—Th© President-Elect Pleased
With the Result of His Trip.
New York, Feb. 10.—G. W. Smith, Mr.
Tilden's private secretary, canu down to
New York from Greystone early Sunday
morning to escort President-elect Cleveland
anti Daniel Manning up to Youkein. Few in
the waiting room of the Grand Central depot
recognized Mr. Cleveland as he walked
briskly through to the train, but as his burly
figure moved up the aisle of the last ear the
juissengers showed they knew who he was by
staring steadily at him. Hi® face was weary
looking. Mr. Manning, on the other hand,
looked fresh and his black eyes snapiied.
There was a jerky conversation on the way
up, in which Mr. Cleveland took litt e part.
Mr. Tilden’s coupe, w ith a coachman in
livel y on the box, was waiting at the Yonk
ers station, as was also a crowd of about fifty
persons. Mr. Cleveland had got nearly to the
carriage before the crowd fully identified him
and there was a wild rush to get near him, the
end of all which was a little knot eddying
around the syvit where the carriage stood
before the driver had whipped up his horses.
Mr. Tilden met his guest® at. the door, and a
big mastiff rubbed its jaw s under Mr. Clever
land’s hands. The day was spent very quietly
Tht're were no ether guests. During thi
greater part of the afternoon the j>arty con •
sistiug of Mr. Tilden, and Ids sister and secre
tary, Mr. Cleveland, Mr, Manning and Min.
Manning, who had been left there on Satur
day while Mr. Manning came down to the
city, occupiisi the spacious dining room, vary
ing the delights of the table with a view
stretching beyond the palisades, to the half
hour music of Mr. Tilden's timeful set of
chime®. At 2 o’clock dinner was served, with
Mr. Tilden and Mrs. Pelton, Mr. and Mrs.
Manning, Mr. Cleveland and Secretary
Smith at the table. The remainder of the
afternoon was given up to talk of a confiden
tial nature Ix-twren Mr. Tilden and Mr.
Cleveland. They were closeted for several
horn's. Men and measures were discussed and
the rich treasures of Mr. Tilden’s political ex
perience were heavily drawn upon by Mr.
Cleveland and as freely offered by Mr. Tilden.
Names were mentioned and the qualities and
capabilities of the men at once given
by Mr. Tilden. Mr. Cleveland played
again liis role of the attentive listener
and took in the talk with w hich Mr. Tilden
favored him as he did that of the dozens of
politicians who have daily called upon him at
the Victoria.
Lite in the afternoon it was decided by Mr.
Cleveland to remain during the night as a
guest at Greystone. This was at the earnest
solicitation of Mr. Tilden, who wm anxious to
show some social and personal attention to the
President-elect. This fact was telegraphed to
the w aiting Col. Lamont at the XHctoria.
There was not much sjieculation over Mr.
Cleveland’s visit to Greystone. Deleft Albany
with the intention of going there. The com
mon interpretation put on the visit was not
that ho was solicitous for Mr. Tilden’s advice,
but that he was entirely willing to outline his
views to Mr. Tilden and hear what Mr. Til
den might have to say on them. It was not
supposed that Mr. Tilden would assume to
direct Mr. Cleveland’s judgment, but there
was no doubt that he would be gratified to lie
consulted oven though as a listener
only. The visit was construed also hh carry
ing with it incidental deference to the
mossb.-u k ilemoeratic element that still wor
ships the Tilden idea, and that oould lie con
vinced in no way so well of Mr. Cleveland’s
sincere purpose to fit himself with the best
counsel for his coming duties.
A close friend of Mr. Cleveland said that
on Saturday night Mr. Cleveland expressed
himself highly pleased with the results of his
trip. Hl* had enlarged his acquaintance with
r-*j»r< entative yiarty men, had gathered new
id- as and strengthened his old ones, and felt
much better prepand than when he came
hi re to direct his mind in accord with the
most advanced and most thoughtful views of
his party friends, as well as for the common
good.
In regard to Mr. Cleveland, Congressman
Hewitt said: “He is an able, sensible, careful
man, thoroughly fit for the office of presi
dent. It would, of course, never do for me
to tell what Mr. Clev< land told n>e privately.
What he said to me publicly, all had an oj>
•ortunity to hear.”
“Can you give any idea in regard to the
probable composition of his cabinet?”
“That is a matter upon which I can not
qieak. I can say this, however, that he is
trying intelligently to make up hi® cabinet
and that when it is announced it will lie per
ectly satisfactory to the democratic party.”
In the corridors of the Hoffman, the Vio-
Loria and Fifth avenue, no little amount of
criticism circulated upon the visit of Mr.
Cleveland to the city, and his manner of con
ducting himself, while statesman from the
four corners of the globe were pouring advice
into his ear.
The opinion general that the
wiseacres who once picked up a governor
as an easy man to manage have discovered in
ui ex-governor’s visit to the city that, the easy
nan was one of the shrewdest, clearest
headed politician® that has came to light in
many a day. As a member of the Amster
• lam club said, it was not deemed possible
i hat a man in the position Mr. Cleveland is in
jould subject himself to the questions fired at
lini in the last three days and yet remain the
ame calm, uncompromising statesman of
Albany.
(Jongrossman Delville who came on with
he Temuisscxj delagation to advocate the ap
jointment of Gen. Whitthorne to the position
jf secretary of the navy, said that his last in
erview with the president-elect, and a cursory
•onsideration-of the life Mr. Cleveland led in
New York, made him feel more than ever
that the choice of the democracy was one
founded on wisdom, and would be fruitful
beyond all expectations. The congressman
went on to picture the honest democratic
fashion in which he had come and gone.
When Mr. Cleveland entered the white house,
Mr. Delville said, he would enter with a solid
lemouracy at his back, and the good wisUe®
of the entire jjeople be with him.
(ten. John Cochrane said: “Tammany’s
committee was cordially received by Mr.
Cleveland, and a very pleasant time we had
liscussing little things. Mr. Cleveland is, in
ny opinion, a man of sound sense—a man
who cannot be twistetl around one’s finger.
He will not t>e a figurehead president, but a
real, Jive, active president, who will occupy
his position fully and completely. By this
time the people throughout the country have
begun to understand Mr. Cleveland as he is,
since the smoke of the campaign has lifted
and shown him in his tree light. Since he has
been in the city he has won the admiration of
all men alike, irrespective of party.”
Back to Albany.
New York, Feb. 10.—Mr. Cleveland’s re
turn to this city from Greystone Monday
morning was considered < <?rtain. His apart
ments at the Victoria hotel were retained, and
Cut Lamont awaited the preudenV-elect, ex*
poctiug that he would reach the hotel before
noon, but the president-elect decided to re
main with Mr. Tilden at Grey stout* until 8:80
Monday afternoon, when he returned to Al
bany.
Cleveland's visit to the sago of Gramercy is
said to have been very satisfactory, and that
the disposition of the cabinet portfolios has
lieen virtually st* tied. It is reported on a
number of excellent authorities that Bayard
is to be appointed secretary of state, and Gar
land, of Arkansas, attorney general.
It is believed that Mr. Cleveland decided
not to come back here, owing to the fact that
many of tlie congressmen who were in the
city Saturday went to Washington tliat night.
THE ISSUE JOINED
Between the Rival River® and Harbors and
Appropriation® Committees.
Washington, Feb. 10. The threatened
conflict between the committees on rivers and
harbors and appropriations was brought to
an issue as soon as the s[)eakor’s gavel fell at
10 o’clock.
Mr. Townsend (ILL) moved to go into com
mittee of the whole on the postoffice appro
priation hill.
Mr. Willis (Ky.) protested and said that on
Saturday the house had almost unanimously
voted two hours with the understanding that
the time was to be occupied in consideration
of the river and harbor bill.
Mr. Townsend suggested that the commit
tee take two horn's for the river and harbor
bill with the underetanding that they then
yield to the appropriation committee.
This Mr. Willis declined to assent to.
Mr. Blount (Ga.) expressed some doubts as
to whether all appropriation bills could be
passed, and urged that th a river and harbor
bill could be considered at intervals between
the appropiation bills.
Mr. Holman suggested that the appropriar
tions committee lie allowed to go ahead with
the consideration of the postoflice appropria<-
tion bill and that the river and harbor com
mittee work upon their bill during the inter
vals which will occur between the regular
appropriation bills. “The postal bill is now
ready,” said Mr. Hohmm. “It will bo fol
lowed by the legislative and sundry civil
bills.”
After fruit leys efforts to reach an understand
ing the y(?as and nays were ordered on Mr.
Townsend's motion. The vote resulted yeas
58, nays 127.
Mr. Willis then moved to go into commit
tee of the whole on the river ami harbor bill,
which was agreed to. The amendment of
fered by Mr. Hepburn, providing that no
part of the appropriation for New Orleans
harbor lie used for levee® or to protect private
property, was rejected B 0 to 105.

C.. upon which to erecta city postoflice, was
also passed.
On motion of Mr. Vest, a bill providing for
the erection of a public building in Tyler,
Tex., was passed.
By unanimous consent the resolution sub
mitted by Mr. Cameron (Pa), directing the
finance committee to inquire whether any
part of the surplus revenue in the treasury
could be lieneficially expended for the purpose
of reviving American shipping by allowing
rebates on tariff duties now imposed, was
taken up, and Mr. Cameron submitted some
remarks in explanation thereof.
A Mnrderous Young Brute.
Wheeling, W. Va., Feb. 10.—Friday even
ing last, about dusk, a negro boy named
Stewart, aged about seventeen, living at
White Sulphur Spring.;, in Greenbriar
county, this state, attempted to kill hi®
mother with a razor. Hearing the woman’s
screams for help, a gentleman named Bowers,
who was passing at the time, ran in to her as
sistance. The young brute turned on him
and cut him horribly in the throat and about
the face. One ear was slashed off ami the
wounds on the throat are such that the man
can not live. The negro escajied, but a re

self-defense, and, strange to say, was cleared.

Pittsburg, Fob. 10.—The story that an- 1

anarchists, which, it is thought, had been
shipped from Chicago. The iiarties hav- ,
ing these arms, he said, are foreigners,
not workingmen out of employment, but an
archists.
Herr Joseph Frick, a prominent socialist,
admitted that anarchists were armed in this
city, and that they had their regular nights
for drilling. He said there vs ire ten “groups, 0
aud alxiut four thousand members iu Alle- .
gheny county.
Cleveland, 0., Feb. 10.- -F. K. Ge,ger, of
62 Linden street, formerly La agent of the In
ternational Workingmen’s Association of an
archists, says there are four groiqis of the or
der in this cit y, with two hundred members
and many sympathizers. Two are Bohemian,
and two German. A fifth, American, will
soon be organized. He says workingmen here
are ripe for a riot, and that unless the times
improve the greatest revolutions the world
has ever seen will be inaugurated. Socialists
are increasing in number here very rapidly.
Geger is a railroad clerk. The present agent 1
of liis group is Franta Sakiud, of 186 Croton
street.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 10.—At a meeting of
socialists the labor question was discussed in
a very temperate tone, but a black-bordered
cu’cular was freely distributed, which was a
bitter tirade against Germany for the execu
tion of anarchists, and calling upon the work
ingmen to organize and revolt against the
priestcraft, monarch and monopoly.
The Bohemian group of internationalist®
held a meeting at which the present wage sys
tem and all kinds of monopoly were con
demned, and revoluionary socialism advo
cat’d.
Chicago, Feb. 10.—Moderatesocialiste held
a largely attended meeting on the West Side
Sunday afternoon. Speeches were delivered
in English and German, counseling agitation
to secure the adoption of their principles.
Another large meeting was held on the North
Side, at which moderate socialists and an
archists divided the time in discussion. The
socialists counseled moderation and agitation;
the anarchists, as usual, the use of dynamite,
which, as one speaker remarked, would make
one man equal to a thousand. He favored de
fiance to all law.
Two thousand socialists met Sunday night
in West Twelfth street ball to denounce the
execution of Reinsdorff, ttie German an
archist. All the Hjjeeches were in Gorman and
of a bloodthirsty character, and the meeting
was called upon to combine with the dynar
mitors and “avenge the execution.” After
the sjleeches there was a tableau representing
the (hxldess of Liberty, a sanguinary looking
female holding a red flag over the head of an
anarchist who had a huge dagger iu one
hand, a box of dynamite in the other, and
wearing a bolt with the word “Commune.”
Red lire in the w ings lighted up the tableau,
and the crowd sang the “Marseillaise.” Loud
and prolonged cheers were given for the
“socialistic revolution.”
For I.ove of Wild Flower®.
New York, Feb. 10.—Mamie Dodson, six
teen years old, has beeu missing from her
home in Hug *unot, L. 1., since Friday morn
ing. Shu was an enthusiastic scholar and ap
plied herself with such industry that she in*
jured her health, and the family were pained
to notice a short time ago that her mind
was slightly deranged. She luid a pul
sion for flowers, and imagined herself
plucking buttercups and daisies us she
walked across the frozen fields. She was
greatly delighted with flower® sent to her by
friends, and would sit iu h< r room for hours
arranging boquets. Her father' died a few
weeks ago and her mother has not had time
to watch her as closely as before, and on Fri
day she wandered from the house unobserved.
Neighbor® who have taken a deep interest in
the case scoured the country ami kept up the
search during the night by the aid of torches
and lanterns. It is feared the child may have
died from exposure.
Cleveland and the Saddle of Muttou. 1
Louisville, Feb. 10. —George Abrams, a
butcher of this city, who recently sent a sad
dle of mutton to rresidentrolect Cleveland,
has i eceived an autograph letter in which Mr.
Cleveland .says:
lam glad to learn that your kind feeling®
tow ard me and your pleasure consequent ujton
a democratic victory prompted you to tender
to me a saddle of your famous mutton. I
don’t want to appear small in matters of this
kind, but I have a very great aversion to the
receipt of gifts; and I have made up my mind
to ask you to allow me to take the will for the
deed and to regard you as just as good a
friend and brother democrat as though you
liad presented me with a whole carcass.
