THE BOARD ROOM. The Washington stock exchange, however, is ina flourishing condition. It contains a la’ Pfoportion of young energetic bu who keep not only abreast of the times but eceasionally forge a! ead of old Father Time. The organization is still quite young and after a time may also havea gallery for Visitors. A HISTORY OF THE EXCHANGE. As a result of several informal meetings pre- Viously held the Washington stock exchange Was forme!ly organized on November 2, 1881, by the election of Geo. H. B. White, cashier of the National Metropolitan bank, as president; Henry D. Cooke, jr., of H. D. Cooke & Co. bankers, vice president; Jacob W. Kerr of the National Bank ot the Repubiic, treasurer. and A. E. Bateman of Bateman & Co., bankers, Secretary. D. W. Middieton of Middleton & Co., bankers, Chas. L. Bradley, cashier Na- tional Bank of the Republic, and H. E. Ofiley composed the governing commitiee. he following members comprised the board atgts first session. which was held November 7, 1831: D. W. Middleton. A. E. Bateman, H. E. ley. A. K. Parris, Chas. L. Bradley, J. W. Kerr, W. W. Barnard, H. D. Cooke. J. W. Cor- son, G. H. B. White, F. G. Middleton, C. P. Williams, 8. E. Middleton. Messrs. Jay Cooke. L. A. Bartlett, C. C. Glover, J. S. Brown, B. H. Warner and J. W. ‘Thompson were elected to membership at this Meeting. Asshowirg the drift and intention of the organization the opening address of the first president is of interest. Mr. White at that time said: ‘The Washington stock exchange, composed of well-known, enterprising and suc- cessful citizens, should rank with the most hon- ored in the country. and it is not doubted that its future history will show such a record. The local stocks of our magnificent, prosperous and rapidly growing city are second to none of even the great commercial centers, and it is gratifying that an organization has at last been effected where their true value may be rated to the fraction of a cent and become through published statements known to all at home and abroad. Gentlemen, this organization demands Your most careful attention, your most earn- est devotion to its interests and your most oF efforts for its welfare, and it is believed Will possess all these elements of success, sothat honor and fair dealing shall be its watchwords aud prosperity and perpetuity its Teward.” The exchange at this time met located in the building occupied by D. Cooke, jr., & Co., near 15th and F streets, where they remained until October, 1884, when & change in quarters was made to the Corcoran building. in the same vicinity, At the mecting March 25, 1882, the death of Mr. J. W. Kerr, the treasurer, was announced and the president spoke as to the distressing circumstances attending it and feelingly al- luded to his unsullied reputation and worth in the community. Mr. Albion K. Parris was elected to fill the vacancy of treasurer and has been re-elected each successive year to the Present. On December 26, 1884, at the annual election, Mr. Charles C. Glover of Riggs & Co. was elected president, succeeding Mr. White, who had served most acceptably for three years and who declined further re-election. With a limited membership anda limited list of securities on the call, it is not surprising that the record of transactions was not during the first few years of the exchange. The business was sutisfactory enough, how- ever, for those who had pioucered the organi- gation. and after its permanency was assured a umber of those bankers and brokers who had eld aloof petitioned for membership. The troublesome times of 1583 and 1884 left some traces and made some changes, itis true, among the list of members, but business moved along quietly, hardly jarring the even tenor of the exchange’s wa ‘The deaths of B. F. Grafton, July 30, 1893; Edward M. Nourse, December 7, 1886; Frank G. Middleto: + L. Towers, November 1886, and William W.

THE PRESENT QUARTERS. On April 1, 1885, the exchange removed to their present quarters in the Glover building. As the meetings are at present only arranged for the members no provision has been made for the accommodation of visitors. The securities listed are nearly all of an in- ‘Vestent character and speculation is rarely indulged in; still there is generally a smail arty of “bulls and bears” who, on occasions, Bae thecalls unexpectedly interesting. Mr. lover has each year, from the date of his origifial election in 1834, succeeded himself. e insurance feature was added on December 8, 1837, aud its benetits are already apparent. ‘The membership in the Washington stock ex- chapge is limited to forty, and the seats origi- nally costing $25 are now held at $150. All the an! houses and a number of the national banks are represented, the benefits of mutual and regular conference and meeting being well understood and reciated, The membership tay be divided into various classes, one rep- Fesenting gentlemen of wealth, retired from active business, who find itu pleasure as well a8 profitable to be on the ground of early in- formation, ness men, at a room iessrs, H. and are thus enabled the better to be posted im the matters concerning securities and information rtaimng to them for the larger efit of the trusts they variously represent, Another class represents the banks, banking and brokerage houses.

Hence, in a board so small, information not general in an institution of similar character in @ large city 1s quickly obtained and used to advantage. The “call” is ewphatically a dig- nified one, and he who oversteps the orthodox Bounds of propriety as laid down by the pre- siding officer stands a fair chance of being lectured by that dignitary, although this theory of lecture infliction is often laid low by the yanger members of the board, who insist on foe no respect for dignity when dressed for exhibition on the floor of the board, THE LIST OF MEMBERS includes men of every business.

THE OFFICERS. The officers of the exchange at present are C. C. Glover, president; Jno. W. Corson, vice president; W. B. Gurley, secretary, and A. K, Parris, treasurer. The’ president, Mr, Charles C.

Posseasing the necessary business qualities and having many friends Mr. Gurley entered at once into a large busi- ness, He was elected sceretary of the ex- change in November, ‘83, The treasurer, Mr. Albion K. Parris, is a member of the well- known banking firm of Crane, Parris & Co. Mr. Parris was born in Washington and gradu- ted from the old gram- mar school under Mr. 8. Jobn Thomson. In 1875 ‘gre entered the employ- uent of H. E. Oftley & Co., bankers, remaining with them for two years, when he went to sea on the Powhatan as ceretary to the fleet -aptain. He was absent for one year, when he returned and entered the nking house of Lewis Johusoi Co., ALBION K. PABRIS. where he remained four years, resigning to accept the position of cashier for Bateman & Co. In October, 1881, he formed a partnership with Mr. Augustus Crane and F. D. Winslow of New York for the purpose of conducting a general banking busi- ness, The firm was iaunched at a period of great financial depression, but the business has shown a very gratifying success, Mr. Parris is one of the youngest members of the board and has been its treasurer since 1382, A MEETING OF THE BOARD, It is interesting to watch the board at one of its meetings, The room, as stated, is just back of Corson & Macartney’s bank, The members seat themselves in all manner of attitudes, while the president stands at a table with a gavel big enough to brain an ox, let alone keep « body of men in order, The full list of stocks is then gone through with, the bids, asking prices and sales bemg recorded. At the end of this regular call the members hold an informal meeting, when other transactions take place, which are recorded as ‘after call.” The board holds daily meetings between 12 and 1 o'clock. The basis of exchange is 100 shares of stock or 1,000 in money. The business of the exchange in the last eighteen months has increased 50 per cert. ; It is hard to say what the daily transactions atthe exchange amount to. Some days they are high as $50,000 and again drop as low as 35,000. The members are, however, well satis- fied with the success of the institution, as it now compares very favorably with the Balti- more exchange, which is a much older organi- zation. THEY WANT TO SEE EACH OTHER. A larger room is one of the prime requisites at present, as the board is very cramped in its present quarters. The work in a stock ex- change isa good deal like playing poker and the players like to be able to look each other squarely inthe face, whereas at prescnt the members are compelled often to have their backs to each other. ‘The present stock exchange is not the first one Washington has had. In 1871 a board held meetings down town. It, however, only had an existence of two years, ape: Applause for Davitt. A large number of the nationalist mem- bers of the British parliament who made no secret of their disapproval of Michael Davitt’s action in addressing the Parnell com- mission, believing that he should follow the example of the home rule leader and leave the commission severely alone, are now foremost in expressing their opinion that he was right in pe hrm to his determination to be heard in his own behalf. Congratulations are flowing in to him from all sides aud there is scarcely a man to be found who will not admit that ithe famous land leaguer is not today a greater man in popular estimation than he was at the be- ginuing of his address, even prominent con- servatives voluntarily adding their congratula- tions to the voluine of approving letters and telegrams be is receiving. is. Devitt’s address was indeed a masterpiece and the Irish cause is greatly benefited by his having delivered it, ‘ision of the no matter what the commission may be. “How are you feeling today?” was asked of a recently divorced wife of a C cigar dealer. “I feel unmanned,” was the weary re- ply.— Tobacco, Some young ladies in Burnett, Wis., have formed a club to discourage the wearing of No. 2 shoes on No. 5 feet.

THE BEST MAN AND HIS MANY RESPONSIBILITIES— THE FLOWERS, THE WEDDING BREAKFAST AND THE BRIDE CAKE—WHAT SOME OF THE ITEMS COST—THE WEDDING REHEARSAL. In the preparation for and conduct of the marriage ceremony in the fashionable world there are numerous observances of conven- tional decorum of which only the well-equiped man and woman of society know the existence. The middle of the autumn wedding season of the year has been reached. Numerous pretty weddings have graced the churches of Wash- ington during the past month and many im- portant nuptial events are announced for the present month. Much of the talk of the town at this time is of weddings—weddings in retro- spective and weddings in prospective. The romantic side we will eschew and pro- ceed at once to the practical and material things that, properly tanaged. insure the comfort and eat of everybody concerned in the details of a wedding Triage isa Bac rament of the church and. so a Srau reporter who sought information on this subject was in- formed, should always be administered in the church, A wedding in any other place is a sub- terfuge, a makeshift, an evasion, for which some excuse of recent death in the family or an accident is always pleaded in its palliation. The church weddiug is the proper thing. THE BEST MAN. When a man is about to be married he calls to his assistance his nearest friend, who is technically called his best man. People are wont to exercise their wit in jests, protesting against any other than the groom having that title on that occasion, but be it known that the best man earns that distinction; his office is no sinecure, He attends to all the preliminary duties that would otherwise fall upon the groom, He orders the: carriages, buys the gloves, obtains the marriage license. engages the clergyman, the organist and the sexton, fixes’ the time of day and makes all the arrengements for renting the church, The best man meets the groom previous to the wedding, goes with him to the church, at- tends him in the chancel, holds the wedding ring until called tor by the clergyman, escorts the maid ot honor from the church, and at the reception that follows the ceremony at the resi- dence of the bride introduces the guests to the newly wedded pair. If there be no maid of honor he leaves the church alone, and he also hands the oiticiating clergyman his fee. In short it is the business of the best man to re- lieve the groom of his labors as much as is { possible. THE USHERS. When the groom has selected his ushers he writes each u note referring him to the best man for all information. The groom generally | gives a breakfast or a dinner a day or two | before the ceremony to his best man and the | ushers, when he presents them with scarf pins or whatever souvenir of the event he wishes to | bestow. It is also customary for the groom to | present his best man und ushers with scarfs and gloves for the occasion, and it is obligatory | on the part of the groom that if he asks a friend | from auother town from that in which he lives | toserve him in the capacity of best man or usher to see that railroad and hotel ex- are him. On the day assemble | penses set for the marriage. The first usher directs the assignment of positions in the church for | the other ushers, Their duties consist simply the guests as they arrive, being par- cular that the relatives and intimate friends of the families are advantageously placed When the aisles of the church are sufficiently | broad the ushers give their arms to the ladies when escortmg them to seats, but when the aisles are narrow the arm-offering is dispensed with, as it makes an awkward entrance and often the delicate fabric of the lady’s dress is crushed by the crowding attending the unnec- essary courtesy. The front pews in the middle of the church, with the pews back of them, should be reserved for the relations of the high contracting parties, and when they are placed the other guests should be seated as epson as possible in the order of their coming. When the bridal procession is formed the ushers must be arranged in relation to the bridesmaids which have been allotted to them, so that in going out of the church each may take his proper position. j THE PROPER ATTIRE. The dress of the ushers is regulated by that of the groom, and should be upon the same general style as his. Fora day wedding cut- away coats or Prince Alberts are worn, the former seeming to be preferred in this country, with white four-in-hand or Ascot ties, white waistcoats, light gray or drab trousers, accord- ing to the style of the day, and dark gray gloves without embroidery or heavy stitch- ing may be worn. It is optional with ushers whether they carry their hats or not while seating the guests in the church, but the best authorities consider it preferable to retain the hat, as the usher is uot expected to sit down while inthe church, and the etiquette of an afternoon call should govern in the matter, At a military or navy wedding the full dress uniform of the grade of the officer, with sword, is worn, and the men of a bridal party so at- tired add much brilliancy to the spectacular valfte of the occasion. For an evening wed- ding full dress citizen’s attire is de rigcur. A wide latitude in the choice of the flower for boutonnieres is allowed. Itis generally se- lected by the bride and is the same kind ofa flower 4s that she carries in her bridal bouquet. Recently an independent flower is much used, and this season the white violet is greatly in vogue, The bridesmaids are chosen by the bride from among her intimate friends and cotemporaries. The bride suggests what her maids are to wear. They dress uniformly, and a pretty and dainty conceit in picturesque cos- tuming is proper. The bridesmaids, unlike the bride, are not limited to a canonical gown of white satin or heavy silk. Sometimes the bride presents her bridesmaids with their dresses for the event. The bridesmaids and the maid of honor assemble at the house of the bride on the day of the wedding and follow her in carriages to the church. ‘The maid of honor or first bridesmaid, if there be no maid of honor, stands at the side of the bride during the ceremony and holds her bouquet while the ring is being put opon her hand, The brides- maids are escorted from the church by the ushers and should return to the bride's resi- dence in their own carriages, This rule should never be deviated from. The ushers also drive to the reception in their own carriages, ENTERING THE CHURCH, The bride enters jthe churcli on the right arm of her nearest male relative, who stands at her left in the chancel until the clergyman asks the question, “Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?” when he steps for- ward and places the right hand of the bride in the right hand of the groom and may then re- tire to the pew reserved for him or take his original position until the bridal party is about leaving the the church, when he makes way for them. The bridal cortege is followed by the relatives and invited guests from the church, anda well-bred audience will remain in the pews until they have all left the church, THE RECEPTION, On the return of the newly wedded bride to her father’s house she is the central attraction; her mother or sisters give way and she and her groom stand in the place of honorand receive the guests and the congratulations. A table is spread with acollation and the center of it is occupied by the bride’s cake. The bride is handed a knite by the beat man aud makes the first cut, dividing it into portions, The cake belongs to the bridesmaids until the ring is found. They take piece after piece and break them up until the coveted ornament is secured, It is not considered fair for the bride to be privy to the location of the ring in the cake. Sometimes the matter is all pre-arranged the bride hands to the favored friend the slice of cake that contains the ring, but the finding ought to be a matter of pure luck. ‘The rece tion should never exceed two hours in length, and at the close of it, when the bride leaves the company to change ber bridal robes for traveling dress,in going upstairs she stops at the topof the landing until all the bridesmaids are assembled in the hall, when she throws her bridal bouquet fairly into their midst, There is a traditiou, as there also is in relation to the ring in the bride's cake, to the effect that the bridesmaid who catches the bou- quet will be the first one of the party to be married. When the brideand groom are about leaving on their wedding journey the brides- maids and ushers gather at the door to say good-by and to send after the pair thetusual shower of rice and slippers, The throwing of rice after a newly;wedded pair is the survival of an old custom and is an expression of the wishes on the part of the guests for the pros- perity and happiness of the happy pair. The meaning of the slipper throwing is the preser- vation of an ancient German manner of wish- ing good luck. The best man, who purchases the tickets, is the only person who knows the destination of the pair, to whom it is told in confidence as @ precautionary measure in case of an accident.; THE REHEARSAL, Every wi shauld be preceded by a re- hearsal in the church with all the bridal party present, one of the bridesmaids taking the e of the bride, It is there the best man and chief usher arranges the entrance of the party, rehearses the order of the procession to the altar and points out the exits. They all assume the positions that they are to take at ony, and the minister explains to the bride and groom the nature of the responses, the handling of the ring, and acquaints them with the minutiw of the service in order to avoid any embarrassing balk at the supreme moment when the solemn vows are being made, It is not customary to have widowers or married men or cross-eyed men in the bridal party; the latter give bad luck to the bride. There is no difference in the world be- tween the functions of the usher and the duties ofa groom<man. The change is merely one of name. A few years ago all men attendants at weddings were groomsmen, whereas now they are ushers, It is unnecessary repetition and multiplication of personages to have two sets of meu, calling one lot ushers and the other groomsmen, THE WEDDING REPAST. The caterer and the florist play important roles in the modern marriage celebration. The caterer is generally given a clear field for opera- tions on a wedding occasion. The prices are, in the main, moderate. A wedding breakfost or a supper, which is the same thing, including birds, swectbreads, peas, oysters, croquettes, salads, bouillon, sandwiches, ice creams, ices, sweetmeats and the necessary articles for gar- nishing the table, wines, and the service of five excellent men, is served by the leading caterer in the city at the rate of £500 for one hundred guests. This is what is called a buffet standing- = breakfast. If the guests should be seated the cost of it would be about $100 more, For obvious reasons, seated guests will cat more than standing oncs. A simpler breakfast than the above, with a bill of fare including salads, croquettes, creamed oysters, sandwiches, co! fee, bouillon, fancy ‘ices, charlottes, jelly, cakes and dessert and champagne, with the | Same excellent service, buffet standing, can be served ior 2300 per hundred guest: The larger thoorder the less the cost proportionately, and one hundred people require as much service as three hundred. Nor is the bride’s cake an expensive confec- tion. The most costly one possibic would not execed $50. This includes the icing and is an excellent quality of silver cake. The best caterers in the city use no artificial ornaments upon bride's cake, only natural flowers. A very beautiful cake for a bride is furnished for from $15 to £25. The caterer puts the ring that is furnished by the host into the cake after itis baked and before the icing is puton. He | takes out a piece, likea plug froma meion, puts the ring into the apcrture, replaces the plug and ices over the crevices. In the same way he uts in the thimble and silver piece that also ave their signiticancies as porients of future states and events, The black or fruit cake that is given each de- parting guest in a ribbou-bound box is the groom's cake, and its coet is from 30 to 50 cents per box, the ¢ being regulated by the uality of the box, not the quality of the cake, that is always made of uniform excellence. THE FLOWERS. The florist beautifies and gives an artistic quality to the wedding feast, and here, too, it isa matter of surprise that the cost of floral decorations in Washington is so comparatively smeil. The beautiful wreath of fragrant La France roses that encircles the bride's cake, | with a basket of lillies of the vailey and maiden hair ferns, that also serve for the center piece, costs from five to twenty dollars, the price varying with the season, the average being from five to ten dollars, Tho extreme limit of price for a bridal bouquet for either bride or bridesmaid 1s fifteen dollars, and this price is unusual; the average price is from five to ten dollars. Church decorations, unless un- usually elaborate, do not exceed’ twenty-five dollars anda very pretty decoration can be put in for five dollars. In the former case the chancel rail is hidden in maiden hair fern and spreading palms and bouquets and blooming bushes are ireely used. THE COSMOS FLOWER that has been used so freely for decoration on wedding occasions this autumn was brought from Mexico and is raised out of doors so that | it will not be available for the winter season. | The prevailing flower for November weddings | will be the chrysanthemum, which, because of its rich coloring and the variety of it, allows of most effective massing and is a favorite with florists. The coat of garnishing a room fora bridal reception varies with the size of the room and the arrangement of spaces, The floral bell with its canopy, that cost from $20 to $25, is now little in demand. A quiet, good taste in this matter is the most inex- pensive and the florist when deferred to will generally conduct the decorations upon an un- ostentatious basis, Then, too, the custom is growing in this country of sending flowers’ as gifts on the wedding day, and these always assist in gladdening the drawing room. The groom furnishes the bride, bridesmaids and ushers with the bridal bouquets and boutonnieres. The mythical Puri- tan rose, it is not generally known, went out of use a year ago, It is not a perfect rose. For the greater portion of the twelve months of the year itis a green rose, so the florists abandoned it, and the nephetos and a fine white rose, called the bride's roses, both being delicate, pretty and available at all scasons, are used for bridal flowers, and both are often called the Puritan rose because the public like the name. Another English custom that has been adopted here very generally is the sending of flowers to the family of the girl when her engagement is an- nounced, An offering of flowers is always wel- come and can be sent to express good wishes and regard when nothing else could be used, ees de cattte A CRASH IN THE DARK, And Washington’s New Steamer Went Down—Capt. Randall’s Story. Capt. E.8. Randall, owner of the Crystal Wave, was at Tae Star office today and when questioned by a reporter gave some additional facts regarding the collision of the Wave and Cleopatra fifteen miles off the Delaware capes Tuesday morning. There was no fog, but it was very dark at 5:15, when the crash came. Capt. Randall was in the engine room talking with Thomas Gray, and as there had been bad weather his first impression was the Wave had struck a wrecked vessel, but he was quickly undeceived. Capt. Martin of New York was in charge of the Wave and stated that he first saw the mast light of the Cleopatra id next her green light, when he gave orders to haul the Wave over two points and let the two steamers pass on port sides. ‘The quartermaster replied that the Cleopatra was then showing her red light, and as it was too late to change the course of his boat Capt. Martin signalled the engineer to back at full speed, THE COLLISION. The boat responded quickly, but the Cleo- patra was close upon them andstruck the Wave 76 feet aft her stem, cutting to the keel, knock- ing out the stem and putting her fires out in ten minutes. The Wave was afloat sixty-five minutes after the collision, sinking head first in 100 feet of water. In lowering her_ first boat, containing Engineer Spencer and Henry Kengla, aged seventy-seven, the tackle broke and they were plunged into the sea, Engineer Davis also got overboard and Thomas Gray got well soaked in jumping into the boat. All were easily rescued.’ Capt. Randall would have re- mained with Martin, but was urged to goon board the Kanawha, as the Wave was sure to sink, and, securing all the clothing of the crew and passengers, he took leave of his boat. The Kanawha towed the Cleopatra a short distance, but found her too big a load and cut her loose, but while within range of their glasses she was still atloat and the last view showed a pilot boat making for her, CAPT. RANDALL'S HEAVY Loss. Capt. Randall is entirely satisfied with the conduct of Capt. Martin and believes he did all that could have been done. He talked of in- suring the Wave for the trip, but as she was a good sea boat and it would cost 214 per cent for a thirty-six-hour trip or $1,000 for a $40,000 policy old steam boat men advised him to take is own risks. The Wave was built thirteen years ago ata cost of $100,000and was.a fine bar- gain at $45,000, the price paid to the Bridge- portcompany. Capt. Randall offered a wreck- ing company 40 per cent of whatever they could save, but received a telegram today statin; "4 that they could do nothing this season.

HOW THE GENERAL DECLINED TO ENTER THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE AGAINST LINCOLN—THE INTERVIEW WHICH THE REPRESENTATIVE OF GREELEY AND OTHERS HAD WITH HIM. “Edmund Kirke” in a letter to the New York Sun Sunday told the story of his being sent by Horace Greeley and other prominent northern politiciaus in May, 1863, to get the consent of of Gen. Rosecrans to the use of his name in the nominating convention in antagonism to Lin- coln for President. He says that he went to Gen. Rosecrans’ headquarters in Tennessee at the instance of Greeley and others, first to find out if Rosecrans was a consistent aboli- point, to get permission for the use of his name to antagonize Lincoln in the convention. At that time some of the leading republicans were not satisfied with the way the war was being prosecuted and they were opposed to Lincoln for a second term. A TALK WITH GEN. ROSECRANS. ASran reporter asked Gen, Rosecrans the other evening what he recollected of the epi- sode. “Mr, Kirke,” he said, “tells the story with remarkable accuracy. Iam surprised at the power of his me: ~ Small details of conver- sation and matters of the arrangement of my headquarters are described with wonderful ac- Mr. ‘Kirke’—that is, Jas. R. Gilmore; him Kirke, for that was the only name Iknew him by—came to my headquarters at Murfreesboro’ early in 1863, I did not know him personaliy, but I was familiar with his lit- erary name, ‘Edmund Kirke.’ He had lette as he says, trom Mr. Greeley and a number of entlemen—recommendations enough to take him ‘through # stone wall.’ Thad no idea of his mission. 1 supposed he had come to look after his brother-in-law, Capt. York, who had been seriously wounded. Capt. York had al- ready been sent to Cincinnati, and Edmund Kirke remained at my headquarters for some time a guest. He was welcome and was free to be with me and my staff, just as any member of my staff was. “I assumed that, his brother- in-law having been cared tor, he remained to collect information as a newspaper man. A PRIVATE INTERVIEW. “Thad no suspicion,” said Gen. Rosecrans, “that he was on any other mission. I was con- sequently surprised when asked for a private interview with me the day before he said he iust take his departure. “He said to me when we were alone together, that he had come ona special mission; that he had been sent by the gentlemen from whom he had presented letters of introduction to ascertain if I was available for presidential timber; that he had satisfied himself upon the only point in doubt as to my being the man they wanted, and that he wanted to ask if I would permit the use of my name. He told me of the feeling concerning Mr. Lin- coln, and ali about the plan as far as 1 know. WHY HE DECLINED. “The thing was a complete surprise to me.” The general went on: “I was a soldier in the fivid, I had had nothing to do with politics. I abhorred slavery, but I regarded the agree- ment between the states as a solemn compact that the slave-holding states should settle the question of slavery for themselves and that the other states should not interfere. Therefore I regretted when the conflict bad to come; but there was one thing to do, to prosecute the war to complete victory. As I said before I was no politician; Iwasa plain man with a military education. It was clear to me that my duty was to remain in the field, where I could best serve my country. I told Mr. ‘Kirke’ all this and said that I could not accept the nomination, said I thought they would discover that Mr. Lincoln was doing the right thing and that he would end the war successfully. As for me, I declined to leave my post of duty. The matter was begun and ended there as far as I was con- cerned. My action was not the result of a con- ference with any one. I told Mr. Kirke that I would take no part in politics, certainly not until the war was over, if ever.” A SOLDIER AND NOT A POLITICIAN. “To show you how little I knew or thought of politics, I declare to you that I never wrote a letter toa Senator or Member of Congress for anything until 1864, and then under pecu- har circumstances, When I was relieved from command of the army of the Cumberland I made no complaint. I was ordered to Cincin- nati on waiting orders and was deprived of fuel and rations, False statements were sent out through the press about me; but I never made «complaint or asked redress from the President or the department, and I never made any sort of reply to the attacks made upon me. simply obeyed orders and said nothing. My reason for tollowing this course was that I felt that in the situation the country was then placed it was no time for personal disputes and personal vindications, When I was ordered to the command of the army of the Missouri it Was unexpected, { had made no effort in my behalf, and the efforts made by my friends was without my knowledge. But what 1 was get- ting at was how I came to write my first letter to @ Congressman, HIS FIRST LETTER TO A CONGRESSMAN. “As soon as I got to the headquarters of the Army of the Missouri I made an important dis- covery. I discovered the organization of the ‘American knights,’ sometimes spoken of as the ‘Golden Circle.’ The real title was the ‘Order of American Knights.’ Before this I had sent one of my staff to Washington with important dispatches and Secretary Stanton had had him arrested for coming to Washing- ton without permission. When i, made the dis- covery of the organization of the American knights and got all the information that was necessary I wanted to send an officer with the documents to Washington, To get permission to do this I wrote Gen, Garfield, then in Con- gress, a letter asking him to see the President and get from him an order for me or one of my ofticers to come to Washington to bring documents of national importance. This was the first letter Lever sent to a Congressman to intercede forme in any way. Gen. Garticld saw President Lincoln, then in Philadelphia, but for some reason the President did not see the reason for prompt action, but telegraphed me to know if the documents could not be mailed. I answered that they could not. I then sent a transcript of the documents to the governor of Missouri, and he telegraphed the President that the information was of great national importance. You see it was but a few days before the order was to make some dem- onstration and there was no time to be lost. Isenta epee to Gov. Curtin of Pennsyl- vania and he and Gen. Garfield took it and read it to the President. That was the only time I called on politicians for assistance.” A sescnanincane dia atl Who Killed Cronin? Peter McCahey of Philadelphia in a letter to the New York Sun says: Allow me to point out to your readers that no member of the Clan- na-Gael had any hand or part in the murder of Dr. Cronin, and that the outcry against the Clan-na-Gael was started in order to divert attention from the real murderers and enable them to escape justice. During the last four years there have been two Irish organizations in this country, the LN.B., publicly known as the Irieh Nationalists, and the Clan-na-Gael, Camp 20 of Chicago is acamp of the LN.B. and not acamp of the Clan-na-Gael, Allof the men who have been slandering Dr. Cronin’s memory are members of the LN.B. Camp 13 of New York and the camps in Brooklyn and elsewhere that have contributed to the murderers’ defense fund are members of the LN.B. Of course there are many honest patriotic men in the LN.B., and several LN.B. camps have contributed to the prosecution fund, but the fact remains that the leaders of the LN.B., such as Thos. H. Roynane, Michael Kerwin and Austin E. Ford of New York, Thos. J. seg f of Brooklyn, John F. aoe A of Chicago, F, Wilhere and John J. ley of Philadel- phia, John Leonard of Fall River, Dr. J. E. Scallon of Hancock, Mich., have manifested no disposition to aasist the authorities in avenging the murder of Dr. Cronin, although the mur- der was perpetrated by members of their or- sonal lone, Dut the May een sae 9 big Per~| Gonization, “This indifference of ithe leaders inne to run to River View till he can make an- | of the LN-B. is in marked, contrest to the Other raise.
