CmIcAGo, Nov. 10.—This is the first timel have cver attempted to avswer through the press any charges made or reflections cast upon me. Norwould I do ¢o now did I not. consider it my duty to let the public know the truth, and o correct some statements made by certain members of the Campaign Committee of which 1 was Chairmas. 1t has been stated that I appointed the mem- bers of that Committee. Such is not the fact. After the Conventivu, the candidates on the Democratic ticket met and selected the Cam- vaign Committee, and invited me to act as Chair- man. Atfirst I declived to accept the Chair- manship, sayine that in case of tne defeat of the ticket 1 did wot waut to Lave atl the growlers say that [ was the cause of eteat. It is the coustant practice of a certain sct of small-minded, unhapoy creatures to assien as the reason for defeat the action of one man, whereas the real causes of the disaster lie much deeper and cutirely bevoud their power of com- prebicusion. At the urgent request of several of the candidates, and under the advice of many prominent Democrats, | finally consented 10 act as Chairman of the Campaign Committes 1 defy any man to show wherea single m take was made in the conauct of thecampaien which is attributable to the action or the failure toact of the Committee. 1f the result of the clection had beew a victory instead of a defeat, every one would have praised tne management, and yet. we could not have done more even if we bad won. * Sinee the election has shown that the Social- ists pollea nearl; 90 votes, certain wise beads now say, Way did you not unite with them? while the tactis that these same wise ones before the election apposed a union with anvbody, and even fought agaiust the efforts of the Committee to harmomze and consolidate the Democraticand the Industrial tickets. They abuse us for domg what we did to unite the Dewmocratic streneth, and abuse us still more for vot uniting with the Socialists, when every one at all acquainted with the facts knows that a union with the Socialists was lwpossible. All money received by the Committee was re- ceived by Thomas Brenan, Treasurer of the Counnittee, who bas kept an account of the amount receved, from whom received, and to whom the same s been paid.

This was agreca upon. because the Committee thought it would help the ticket, and not because the members were Op- posed to the ngnropnaliun. It was supposed toat the Republicans would print their tickets 1n the satue form. Friday morning the Republicans sent a com- mittee of three, Col. Thumpson. 11. B. Brayton, and Senator Riddle to conter with us upon this subject. Mr. David Haltinan was appointed on bebalf of the Democratic Commitice to confer with them, which be did. When he returned from the confercnce he stated that he did not understand the question berore, but that it was important; that tae State-House people would have men at every poll ou election-Gay, and that if the Republicaus printed their tickets ¢ For the appropriation, and the Democrats shou.d printtueirs boih *“For” and ‘Aeuinst,” we wonld certainly losc a great many votes.

Weall met the same evening in conference with the Republican Cowmittee, and it was agreed that tie ticliets of both parties sbould be printed alixe 10 regurd 10 the appro- pristions for the State-House and the Court- House, and tnat the tickets should be printed & For” the State-House appropriation alone, apd * For » and “ Against ” the Court-House appropriation.

A visit to Mr. Smiths house resulted in the reporter's being told tnat the obect of his quest couid be found at the Grand Paufic, where he was o doubt at that moment enjoying the annual zame dinner for wineh Mr. Drese is noted. The reporter followed directions, and fou N Smith. He was promenading ihe when the reporter first sct eyes el o Bat afterwards retired to Gov, Wash- ‘burne’s room to have a smoke. Thither the reporter; impclied by astern sense of duty, fol- Jowed nim. By dint of some pleadinz Mr. Smith was induged to place bimself at the re- porter’s mercy for 2 few minutes and go i through the ordeal of an interview. Of course AMiles” story was detailed to bim at length, and a:mlbe reporter was winding up, Mr. Smith said: oo Well, on such a matter os that of course I'll talk. I suppose you want the truth, and that is what P'll rive you. . NT ONLY CONNECTION WITH THE AFFAIR is just this: One day during the close of the campaign I was cailed upon at my oflice by Senator Shutt and another: entleman {rom Springfield, whose name 1 believe to be Judge Prescott, or something like that. Ihad met Senator Shutt before, but he had a letter of introduction to me, which he presented, and then introduced his frieni. Senator Shutt said he wanted the State-House appropriation car- ried. “Sodo I,"said 1. *In fact, T am decided- Iy in favor of it, and also in favor of the Court- Touse uppropriation; and if -1 can do anything for you I will. There has been talk about stealing, as is always the case in such matters, but, as a tax-payer, I am williug to pay my pro- portion, no matter how much is stolen, rather tian have the building stopped. will vote for it myself, : am willing to pay my share of the tax, and I believe the_State-House and the Court-House should oe finished.” Well, Shutt wantedto kuow what De had best do, and at last suggested my Lim a letter of _introduction (o the Campaiz Commictee. 0, said I, * 1 will aot do that, but I will go over to the Pulmer louse with you, introduce vou to_ the gentlemen, and tell ihem I am i favor of the appropriation. I can do nothing more, brcause 1 have refused to bave anything to do with the Campaizn Com- will simply 2o over there and introduce you to them. That is alt I can do’” When I went over there I declined to o 1uto_the room, but we went into the nest room, and 1 sent for two of the Committee to come in. They came. 1 in- troduced the gentlemen from Springticld, and stated that, as tor mysell, 1 was w favor of the appropriations; for the reason 1 have already mven you. _As to what arranzement was en- tered into, I don’t know. Shutt uever suf ed angthing to me about money, and as to the manner which they arranged matters, nothing was_ suggested to me, mor do 1 care particular connection with the affair ceased Ir duced Shutt and his fricnd, and came away. You may say for me that I was never on any sub-commitice with Johu Forsythe or Maleolin MeDonald for that or auy purpuse: that L know nothing about any such committee; and, tur- thermore, that this woole story of 2 sub-com- mitzee being appoiuted, of which 1 was a mem- ber, to £o tu these rentiemen aud seek 1o per- suade them to come down with $300 or have the line ‘against’ appear on tae tickets, is made out of whole cloth—certainly as far as I am converned.” Mr. Smi.h added that he met Senator Shutt onee afterwards, but nothing was said as to the way the atter bad been arranged. i In the tew mements left—ior: Mr. Smith was already getting nervous and desirous of return- ing to bis tricnds—the reporter ventured to ask him bhis views of . THE CONDGCT OF THE CAMPAIGN. Inavery few sentences Mr. Smith expressed it as his opinion that the two rand wistakes of the Democratic manages ad been the cahn ienori { tue Commuuistic strengih, and the attempt to bounce Riechel from the ticket. {n regard to the Communists, Mr. Smith_ said he belleved both parties Dad been astonished at their strenoth, but they i have forescen it and prepared for it. Communists, be said, were becoming a more powerful element than some people imagined, and in his opinion it behooved both parties to have an eye to the great probiem of the future in which these same Commuuists appeared a5 3 dangerous factor. -MALCOLM M'DONALD. A reporter called last evening on Mr. Malcolm McDonald, a member of the Democratic Cen- tral Committee, whose name had becn men- tivned in Mr. Kebue's letter. Mr. MeDonald said that be and several other members of the Committee—notably Me: Lovejoy and Storey—onposed thie scheme from the instant they learnt of it. Taey uuderstood that the tickets were to be printed *or” aud “ against,” and were not informed until the morning preceding the election that auy change was contewplated. When the were notitied they repudiated the whole thing. “This matter,” said Mr. McDonald, *‘never came before the Committee at all. It was all fixed up privately by two or three men, and £ believe Miles Kehoe bad the handling of il When it was reported that the Republicans were o receive $1,000 it was felt that we ought to et the same dmount or else to return the $20).

They asked me to 0, and I declined to bave auything to do with the matter. 1 met that man Shutt, and he said it would be all right, and for me not to oppose it. There were, e said, 116 men from Sprinzficld, members of a labor or- gapization there, who bad ocen employed by the Sub-contraztors to come to Chicago and peddie tickete, and they would arrive on clection morn- ing. I'replied that I wanted notning to do with the affair. This was at the Patmer House, and Perry Smith and some more came alonz, and went off with Shutt into a private room, where they probably tised it up. Slutt did not come before the Committee ut Al Ex-Commissioner Lonergan, who was present during the isterview, and who- also served on the Central Committee, also declared that the matter never came before them us a body, but as fixed up by a few men. He. as well 05 Me- Donald, liad voted azamnsi the appropriation, and was diszusied with tne way in which it had been southt to push it throush. A. C. HESING. To the Editor of The Trivune. Cn1cAGo, Nov. 10.—You are respectfully re- quested to give me an opportunity, through your columns, to brand W. F. Storey as an in- famous liar and scoundrel. Allduring thelate political campaign thatscoun- drel, who, by diabolical malice and stieer cussed- ness, is trying to outdo the father of lies, cram- 1ned every issue of his paver with the most absurd slanders against me. Knowing full well that Iwas doing the best I could to insure the success of the entire Republiean ticket, he endeavored to maike his readers believe that I was scieming in seeret against Mr. McCrea, that the Staals- Zeitung was supporting him not at alt, o, at jeast, with only half a heart,—in fact, that I was playing the part of a traitor in the Republican camp. Even after the election the contemptible scoundrel hias coutinued tospatier his venomous lics uver me, inventing and repeating the story thut T had_made an unsuceessiulattempt to Repubtic- priut and aistribute counterleit an tickets with the name of Mr McCrea ~ left out. That story bas been taken up and embeilished with sundrv details by Lwo worthy disciples, or rathier apes,®! the arch-scoundrel Storey, viz.: Stone, of the D News, and Ruchard Michuelis, of the Veue Lresse. Now, 1 will state here that there isnot one grain, not one. particle, of truth m the cha that it is an infamous lic from beginnin: end; that I never zot into my Land, or saw, the proot of the Republican ticket; tnat on Mon- day aiternoon, when { asked Mr. Jetfery, of tue Juurnal, 10 show me the proof ot the ti be refused, probably because he wanted to con- ceal from my kuowledwe tne omissiou from the ticket of the_ line, ‘“ Against appropriation for State-House,”—an omission of which 1 Knew snotiing at_the time. dvd I would further state that I desired to see the proof for the single purpose of ascertaining whether my sug- gestion had been carried out, to print Mr. McCrea's name at toe head of the ticket, thus making it recognizable as the strught Repub- licun ticket at a glance. - Should tiis stazement not yet be accepted as a fwl and absolute refutation of tue in- famous lies of Storey, Stone, and Michaehs, I u furnish a better one yet. 1t consists in the that the Staats-Zeitung in its issue of ‘Tuesday morning @ave each one of its sub- seribers four Reprbhiean batlots, printed in the paper itself, with the back lett blauk, taus pre- venting curriers fromn tampering with them, and enabling every subscriber not only to make sure of his own ticket being genuine, but also to -distribute thre¢ among s fricods. These Staats-Zeituny tickets, of which about as many as tne total Republican vote cast at the election were distributed, were the only tickets contain- ing the line ** Against the appropriation for State-House,” and it is undoubtedly to the dis- tribution of thesc tivkets that the majority against said aporupriation in this county i3 due. 1t is not_expe.ted that even in the face of these facts Dirty-Dog Storey and his pups will stop their barking at my heels.

Just Such a Hotel as This City Is Certain to Appreciate, N Few structures ever ercceed in this, the city of beautiful buildings, bave attracted more at- tention and favorable comment during their construction than the handsome pressed brick aud stone edifice just completed at the wborth- east corner of Wabash avenue and GCongress street. Chaste aud elezant, without being too pretentious, this building has commanded the admiration of the thousands who have daily whirled up and down the avenue in question. Of course there hias been considerable comment and inquiry as to what the attractive structure was destined to be. But, zsit neared comple- tion, persous of sound judzment guessed that it was intended for an elesant family hotel, and wondered why somebody had not utilized' the admirable location for such & purpose before. ‘We are alad this morutng to be able to cons firm these shrewd guesses, and to announce Lo Chiicarro that the establisnment was yesterday duly opencd. Our reporter visited the place 1n the evening and found himself in_ what is cvi- deatly destined to prove the cosicst and most popular famizy hotel in this city. 1t has been furnlstied aud will be conducted by Mr. J. H. Nason, lous and favorably koown to our busi- ness community, aud is to become pleasantly familiar to us and to the world at large as **The Hotel Brunswlck.” The interior of this fine building is at once charming, bome-lise, and inviting. Its location gives sunlight on all the prominent sides, and the rooms are consequently bright and healtns ful. The furnishing und ntting” has been com- pleted with liberakity of outiay and excellent taste. Better than all is the fact that every- thing is paid for, sv that the proprictor can rin his own hotel, and his ruests will know that they arenot overcharged to help square up ola debts. e superb carpets, lambrequins, ond hane- ings, bave been furpished by A.T. Stewart & Co. The china and tableware has beco made expressly for the bouse by French & Co., of Boston, and the sitver is froin Matson & Co.’s, of tis city. Clark, Swan & Co. made to order the rich and cowmfortable furniture, much of it being trom uew and original designs. Wilks & Co., of Chicazo, made the kitchen ranges, and all the othier fixtures and adornments are the work of correspondingly well-known firms, ‘Fhe city has long needed just such an institu- tion; a hutel which should give handsome se- cominodutions aml_elegant” surroundings at reasonuble rates. This latter importunt feature isa certuinty here, for the reason that Mr. Nason is uuder obligations to no credital and can give his guests the. beuclit of that fact. ~The_accessibuity of the hotel to the business portion of the city is another very strong poinit in its Iavor. Gentlemen can reach it quickly from their stores or oflices, whil their wives are_ within convenient visiting dis- tance of cach of the three divisious of the ity. Boarders at the Hotel Brunswick witl thus suffer none of the customary vexations of time and patience lost by baving covstantly to travel un- necessary distances. Mr. Nason has been to uncommon pains in thic securing of his nelp, having eraduaily enzazed tne most competent and experienced” of a.sist- aats and servants, fnsread of waiting until the last mivute and takmg whoever migit come aloug, as is, unfortutatels, the gencral methiod. Spevial attention is to be given to keepiug the cuisive at an invariably high standard, and the tabie at futet Brunswick is destined to remain as good as the most expericnced of catening and artistic of cooking can make it.

C venieutly located, bandsomely furnished, equin- ped with every desirable improvement, out of debt, and in the bands of a sentieman secus- tomed to utake a suceess of whatever he under- takes, this hotel is likely to have a most pros- perous existence. A quiet family hiouse, where the privasy of home may be joined to the com- forts and conveniences of hotel liic, is some- thing for which there has been a positive de- mand. We belicve that these objects _have all been strikingly secured in this new and admira- ble institution.—~the Hotel Branswics. _ o CANADIAN NEWS, Special Disoatch to The Cilcago Iribune. ST.
