Corusmes, O,, Nov. 19.—Lt has been known for sone thine past that there was an unweit ten history regarding the Sherninn delegu- tlon at the Natiourt Republican Convention at Cnlengo, It will -be remembered that the Ohio delegation was divided, 0 portion of the delegates being pledged to Senator Blaine, with no hove of thelr being brought over to the support of Seeretary Sherman. It will also. be remembered that the Hon. Warner M. Bateman was In full charge of the Seere- tary’s interests, antl secured auartera at the Grand Pueltiy, not only for the dote gates themselves, but parlors where ‘the delegates from various States who were favorable to Mr. Sherman met fer the pur: pose of consultation: Among those who were the most hearty and warm supporters of Mr. rnin werd Gov. F 1) GOV. D : PIEhd ; ¥ and nearly’ the Oitiry” Republica Congress- fonal delegation of the State. Early in the = NISON, GEN, GATt- _ Struggle, before the Convention had come to- |’ * pether, it will be remembered the Secretary's friends were suecessti! tn securing some of the delegates from North Carolina and other Southern States, and It beeame necessary to seeure quarters - for them ainong the Shermunites. A meeting wns called, and Gov. Foster,. If E mistake uot, wos ade -Chalrman, = and_—sgiven the necessary authority to seeure accommo- dations for the new recruits, which was done, ‘These facts were well known ut the tine, but subsequent events were known to buba few who chanced to be present at the tlie when the last of the delegates were lewing for honie : AFTER THE CONVENTION, The facts have been studiously kept from public.-vlew until the present thine; but to hide them tonger appears to have been lim- possible, the gentleman in possession of the ren! facts, us. they .oceurred In Chiengo, having taken Into hls confidence too many frlends to profect the secret, and the result is what might, have been anticlpated, and‘at i tline when Its publicity must be re- rardog us ifladvised, considering the fact that the prominent figures are at the present thue the leading candidates for the United Btates Senate, Troma gentiomen fully eon- Versaut with tho facts ft ty learned that, as the delegates were departing from the Sher- man headquarters at the Grand Pusific Hotel, the proprietor, - x MI, DRAKE, entered the dining-room, where Goy, Foster and others wero seated, and tnformexl the Governor of the faet that no provision hit been made for eertaln apartiients that were ovcuplol by the various Committees during tho Convention, ludividually the friends of Secretary Sherman hid paid thelr personal bills, but for the parlors and the quartering of the colored delegutes no proyiston-had been made. Inquiry was then ade by one of the party of gentlumen if Mr. Bateman was not there, or whother he had not sutthed + the necounts,—that he was the gentleman who was recogulzed as having complete con: trol of Mr. Shermau’s affairs, both as ree garding the pling w be adopted and THE FINANCIAL VOITION OF THE PROGRAM. This fnquiry developed the f that Mr Butemah had already teft the eity, having drawn out the money.that he had deposited in the safe, which, had his favorit been nou, insted, would hays been used to pay fer tho quarters oceupled by the Sherman delega- tlons from the vuarlaus States, but which was not available, tt would appear, In the hour of defeat, ‘Tho membersof tha Obie delo- gation, who were thus controuled, were gen- temen who had given both the, iabor, and money tn aiding the Secretary af the ‘lrens- ury, 50 far us it was In thelr pawer, to secure hha the nomination for the Presidency, and ainuny them, L think, was ex-Gov, Dennison, also some Chleago gentlemen, WHAT WAS ‘TO 1 TONE? A consultation was held, and expressions of surprise and indignation were visible on the focus vf the entire party, twas clearly ap: parent that tho goud nae of the State and delegation from Ohio would be compromised ifn settlement wis not made, After con- sultation Gov, Foster Informed Mr, Drake thut he would sce that the bit was paid, and the party left. Noone nt that tne bait rene on to suppose.that o recoxuized manager of a Presidential candidate — would leave that candidate’s. friends in the lurch, potwithstanding appeprunces were strongly suggestive Uist such was tho fact, Gov, Hoster, in the course of tne, recelyed un Itemized bill from Mr. Drake for apart ments, meals, ete, : THE TOTAL FOOTING BEING 83,500, for entertalning Mr, Sherman's adherents, and which Gov, Foster paid. Gov. Denni- son, Jain advised, lind some correspondence with Dfr, Duteman on the subject, in which the Governor treated the inatter ag an excus- able guilgsion ou Alt, Batemun’s part, but the response from that gentleman was so decldedly tart that a charitable view in his caso wonld be out of place. Gov. Foster, Inst. June, expressed a dislike to wtter a word pro or con, aud further urgeil that the above information be kept out of the papers, and, at this earnest request, these facts have been withheld from the public. Calling upon Gov. Foster to-night, and ask- ing for some further information, he stated that Ut REGRETTED VERY MUCH that there had been anything said on the sub- fect. So far as he was concerned, he should say nothing whatever. Returning to my tne formant, the question was asked: “Are you positive that Secretary Shorman {3 nulvised of the fact that the expenses of his Presiiential tight had been shouldered by one iin, and that man his warmest friend?) Doyou think it possible he knows Mr. Bateman left Chl- engo without settling, and thet it was neces sary for the Governor to assume tho whole bill, in order to save hls delegution from the disgrace which would have followed had he note” “Its possible,” he replied, “DARKLY POSSIBLE, that John Sherman may be ignorant, but not atallprobable, Mr. Sherman knows how much money he sent to Chicago, and he knows what came back. Secretary Sherman knows where every dotlar goes, and his trri- tation and sulkiness on necount of his defeat is auficient evidence that he not only knows what Bateman dld, or rather did not do, and approved of his action,” x ‘The exposure fs ecalewlated to create asen- sation In political circtes, E ANOTHER VERSION, Diepateh to Chuctunatt Enquirer (Dem.). Conunuus, O., Nov. t8—Tho intimate po- Mtieal friends of Jolin Sherman annotnce, with considerable show and dignity, that he will be a candilate for United States Sen- ator, but that hie will nob onter Into a per sonal contest, This 1s also the tenor of let- ters from Sherman, But Sherman will prob- ably be competed to enter Into a personal contest. Sherman and Foster have both been announced ascandidates so positively that neither can retrent without skulking under tire, ‘The bugles on both sides have been sounded, and the clans are coming to arms, Some of Foster’s ngents aro in possession of ammunittont which Is probably uot in- fended to be used untess the contest becomes Intensely bitter, but atleast one of them fs bursting with the information, and fs Hable to prematurely explode. ‘Che Knqtttrer may as welt anticlpate the wreck and mitigate the shock, fe The mine over which the Senatorial con- test, and especially Shorman, is trembling, involves a story of Chiengo, whlch L subnilt first, with the coloring the Foster faction giveit. Then will follow the story from the other side, 4 Amprinls, WARNER M. BATEMAN, wasatthe head of the Sherman torces at Chi- engo. He was the responsible man. The intellectual business of the Sherman depart- ment was divided between Bateman, Den- nison, and others, but Bateman was the finanetal and directing head. He hired the hails, hung out the banners, and superin- tended the brass musle, Ie radiated from the Grand Pacific Hofel, and enjoyed .the courtesies of John 3. Drake, the-prinelpal proprietor of that establishment. Each Ohto alelegate paid his own Jegithuate hotel bil; but the expense for the partors,: banners, music, and other means of making 0 spread was to come out of a Sherman fund of whieh Mr, Bateman was supvosed to have control. One of the largest Items':of expense was for the entertainment of a company of tpecnnl- ous Southern delegates, Mr, Drake was unable to accommodate them In the hotel, but procured quarters for them nearby. it ig unnecessary to enumerate the Items, but anybody of ordinary acquaintance with pres: ent politieal methods cannot fall to perceive thut the ainount must have been consider- able, after the nomination of Garfield, the ardent supporters of Sherman—especially Mr, Bate- nun—were ina state of : DISAPPOINTMENT NONDERING ON RAGE, ‘They were not tn anamicablenttitude toward Republicans of the Moster pattern, ‘The nomlnation of Arthur for Vice-President quickly followed the selection of Garfleld for the first place, and the delegates, who had been detained long beyond thelr expectations, be- gan to make a rapld exodus homeward.’ In the hurry and confusion of the departure of, the crowd Mr. Drake—aceording to the story whieh Is now currentin private Republican eircles—was astounded to flud that Mr. Bate- man did not seem to consider niimself re- sponsible for the extra expenses tho hotel had been at in the Interest of the Sherman boom; indeed,’ ha found Mr. Bateman In such a state of choler that he saw no way of collecting iis dues except through means which would not have reflected credit on the Ohio delegation, He determined to push Batenan severely, whoover might be re- sponsible; but Bateman wouldn't senre. At this state of affairs Drake met ex-Gov. Den- alson, and Inid the matter before him. ‘The Governor, with courtly indignation, ex- pressed hls surprise that Bateman should be- Have inthe manner Indieated by the land- lord, but was unable to open away out of the dificulty, Justas Drako was about to Innugurate extreme measures in order to collect his bit UOV, FOSTER APPEANED in the hotel and heard the startilng story. Ie begged Drake to rein himself up until he (the Governor) could see Bateman. Drakengreed, aud Foster went to see Bateman, butreturned without accomplishing anything. ‘The Gov- ernor belng 11 a happler frame of mind than Bateman, saw that it would not do to let the scandal break out, and asked Drake If hoe would keep tho matter quict If he (the Gov- ernor) would agree to become responsible for the amount in dispute If it shoud not be collected trom the parties who ought to pay, “Certainly? sail Drake; © all 1 want is some responsible person to stand belund the bu Twill take you or Gov, Dennison, or any other responsible man, On the whole, I would prefer to have you,’? Vherenpon Goy, Foster, without knowing the amount of the bill, agreed to become se curity for it, with tho understanding that Droke should diligently undertale to collect {t from Shorman’s fnmediate agents, Mere tho matter rested until one day last ‘summer, when Foster reeelved from Drake an item: {zed DIM amounting to 82,800, covering the extras In the Sherman buam a6 Chicago, FOSTER PALD THE BILL, although it was several tines as large aa he expectedittoa be; andso the account now ‘ stinils, For the present, at least, both the Foster and Sherman mon are anxious to keep the niatter shady, and it ly diMleult to get at the dotalls, ‘Tho {yformation above fs tho best I have been able to obtain, and dt comes from sources which Lcaunot dlseredit, It ts the story whieh ts declared to bo in the hands of Foster’s agents, to be used If the Senatorial emupilgn comes to the personal polnt, ‘The version of the matter which comes from 4 seml-Sherman standpolut fs, that Fos- ter volunteered to pay tha account, arguing that ft wasan Ohio debt; that Sherman had falled to got the nomination, and that nelther ho nor his imuediile supporters should be vated upon to pay it; that another Ohio man had been nominated, and that Sherman hid paid enough for aman who wag * left’; and that, aa the friend of Garfield, and as the rep- resentative of Olio Republicans generally, Foster patd up, < STILL ANOTHER Stow is, that It was Bateman who took tho position substantially ascribed In the foregoing para graph to Foster; that Gartield had got all the Ohio honors, and that Garileld’s friends should pay the debt as an Ohio debt, or, at least, shary lu the puyueut of the debt, Bate- man Is repfesonted to have been anything but. tame In this assumption. ‘The amount, tov, is varionsly stated, One story Is that It was only $1,200; but the major evidence fs in favor of the larger amount, $2,800, and the version first given above, | In fact, the Informant who stggested that the sin might have been only $1,200 thought It wontld be better to stick to the $3,800 story In the Interest of truth, ‘Tho burden of the matter is, that Foster paid the expenses of Sherman’s campaign at Chleago; and one of the particularly inter- esting questions about it fs, to whatextent has Sherman been informed, and how does he look at the transaction? ‘The Sherinan men may ns well contem- plate a campalgn wil lol in it. “TREATY OF MENTOR.” A DEMOCRATIC MYTH Speclat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasntxaton, D.C, Nov. 10.—The daity additions which are mado to the story of what the Demucrats are pleased to call “tho treaty of Mentor’ makes the true account of the visit of Gen, Grant and his friends to Gen, Gartleld both interesting and {mportant, Tho Intest version was telegraphed from Columbus, O., last night, and purports to be an interview with Gen. Gibson, of that State, and the Democratle Journals In this region are making much of ft, After THE AUSURD STATEMENT that Gon. Garfielt visited New York to urge the National Committee to withdraw himself or Gen, Arthur from the ticket, it continues as follows: “After the Warren meeting, Grant, Conkling, Logan, and the elder Cam- eron called on Gen, Garfield, He received tem as hishonored guests, ‘They sat around his table and mapped out his Adintnlstration asthough they were making a partition of their own property, Gen. Garfield was too well-bred to take Issue with them under his own roof and under such circumstances. Ho listened to alt they said with dignified st- lence.

This is the true version of the ‘compact,’ and the first tine if has been given to the public.” . This is but ONG OF THE MANY: FOnMs ‘In which tho Democrats here are cireulating the story of this meeting, In view of these yarlous absolute milsrepresentations, a gen- tleman of the highest character, who was present during the visit of Gon. Grant, Conkilng, Logan, and others at Mentor, and also present at the entire interview between thenisglves and’ Gen. Garfield, authorizes the statement to be made, in tho most emphatio langtnge that can be used, that all states ments, from whatever source and no natter who — Indorses thom, which imply that. anything like apolitical agreement or proposition was made by any one of the party, or was dls- cussed by any one present, or even hinted xt by any one during the visit, are without the Jeast shadow of foundation In truth, NOTHING which bears the slightest resemblance to the accounts elreuluted In.the Demoeratic press took place.
