A curious story is told Initlustrating oneof the methods of that bureau, One Gen, Rearing, 9 dis- tinguished-looking personnge, but not a trained ciplomat, fall In with one Harnon, of Detroit, and perimitted: the latter to hn- |. preas upon him the bellof that he (1Iarmon) could show how Michigan could be carried for Sherman. ‘his was a process that Fearing much wished to understand, and aecorlingly he made an appointment to mect “Harmon at breakfast In New York one day Jast- week. » Now, Murmon is. well known Hero ns un active Democrat, and he has been tharged with bolug in confidential rekitions with Tilden, aud to have played a role similar to thet. which, Piuley has In years past, Secretary Sherman know this as well .%s anybody, and, Jearuing.of Fearing’s schome after tho latter had gone.to New York, is sald to hava telegraphed to him to return instantly, stating Iu tho tolegrain that the person with Whom he (Fedring) had an appolntuient was not the person to’ whom Sherman destred to contide the secrets of his * eaiupaign,. te ak THERE 18 ANOTHER curious Story with regard to tho Itterary burean, ‘Tho Shormnn Club had printed a Hst of 10,000 names of persons in Olle who were doubt ul, or who atleast were to be converted by the usu of: brijllant Sherman lternture.
