MDRAT HAISTEAD CHIMES Tells What Ho Knows About Garfield's ' Oonduct at Chicago. EMPHATICALLY DISAGREES WITH SHERMAN Ht niiA Honorable EfforlK In Ilc- liiilf nt Ohlo'K Knvorltc I'ocUct Iiilt-rvU'W 11 Uli ConUlliiK llvvllucA by Garllclil. ( CcpyrlBht , 1S55 , by B. S. McClure , Limited. ) NEW YOHK , Nov. 20. Mr. Murat Hal- stead , In a talk yesterday , declared Ills be lief In Garfleld's Integrity. Mr. Halstead knew John Sherman at the beginning of his political career , and became acquainted with Garfleld at the time he was first prom inent. In response to a question Mr. Hal- sicad said : "I was well Informed about the contest In the republican national convention held In Chicago when Garfield was the headof the Ohio delegation and the accredited " leading supporter of Sherman for the presi dential nomination , but himself received that nomination. The bark and pith of what I Itnow Is embodied In a forthcoming article for McClure's Magazine. The scope of that article you will gather from Its title "The Drama of Garfield'g Presidency ; Ills Nom ination , Klsctlon , Administration and. As- eaEslnatlon. " I was not present at the con vention , for the reason tint I was not certain I should support the nomination , and desired to ba at my desk In my olllco when the nomination was made. " "Was General Garfield personally aware of bin candidacy at the convention , and was he actively concerned In his nomination ? " JAMI3S A. GARFIEM > . "General Garfield certainly knew he was being prciseil for the nomination in that con tention , and knew It from the first ; but I ha > o always thought those who were en gaged In the management for him were at particular | > .ili)8 ) not to let him know what tlic-y were abuut. My recollctlon Is that he l < ail one vote on each ballot for the first thirty. Hut he did not get up and withdraw his name jutt because one man was voting for him , and It would have been regarded a ridiculous It he had. The man who per emptorily rcfuiei something which has not been offered to him , In the midst of the scenes of great political excitement that characterize national conventions , Is suspected of advertising dud liable to be laughed. At. UNDERCURRENT IN HIS FAVOR. "Kroiu the first day of the convention there was an undercurrent In Qarfleld'a favor. Ha could not help being conscious of It , and I don't quite kee how be could have prevented It. I have IIUIlllllltlllllllHlllM'- " " " " " ' " always thought Governor Foster of Ohio had about as much to do with the nomination of Garfleld as anybody. There is no doubt that John Sherman was extremely disappointed by his failure of nomination nor that Garfield was exces sively sensitive touching their affairs at thin time , and there has always been a certain cloudiness and an occasional ten dency toward an electrical disturbance about the circumstances of the nomination. The defense ot those who casljy consented to , and then actively aided in , the nomination of Garfield , was that it was not possible at any time , with the material in that con vention , to have nominated Sherman. 1 have found myself Impressed that there waa some reason for taking that view of the subject , and this Impression upon my mind has grosvn out of two facts ; one , that neither the state nor the city of New York has -ever estimated Senator Sherman at his just valuation ; and the other , that at that time Senator Conkllng , who knew of the firm leadership of Sherman In opposition to the third term , was very resentful and bitter and watt unreserved In his expressions. He felt more hostileto Sherman than to Dlalnc and was more denunciatory of Sherman lu that convention than he was of Blalne. This those who sat beside Conkllng have told me. "I know that Mr. Blalne did not believe Sherman could be nominated. Mr. Blalne did not believe It was within Ills power to nomi nate Sherman. He knew also that a major ity of the Blalne men of the New York dele gation who refused to vote for Grant and voted for Blalno would have voted for Grant as against Sherman ; and that If the break had come in that way , it would Inevitably have nominated , Grant. Blalne was watching Conkllng through the wire with Intense scrutiny of Ills strategy and did not think he could transfer the votes going to himself seas as to nominate Sherman. I do not know that ho wanted to do this , but I do know he wanted to beat the third term movement. This was not because of objection to Grant personally , but on account of the principle involved , -and of a resolve to beat Conkllng. Mr. Blalne selected General Garfield as the man to whom the transfer of the Blalne votes could bo successfully made for this purpose , and ho did transfer his votes , solid , with the exception of ono colored delegate from Virginia , who apologized to Mr. Blalne for not voting as hei wished and said It was worth $500 to vote as ho did. This In my understanding ot the circumstances of the nomination of General Garfleld , and I thought then , ami I think now , that the man who ought to have been nominated at that time was John Sherman. " "Do you believe that Garflold's action was strictly frank and honest during that con vention ; that ho did all in his power fop the nomination of Sherman ? " STROVE FOR SHERMAN. "No man over approached the presidency ; no nun over was. In the estimation of Me most flattering friends , a possible president In the line of cvldsnt public movement and practical business without being beset by such friends. No man I speak , of couree , of no man In our own country , and the ex- prenolon Is naturally limited to that 'extent- over loomed up BO as to be rationally In cluded wlthlu the list nt presidential candi dates who had not fool friends over zealous , urgent , violent , fiercely foolish. In the con ventions I have attended and I have been attending conventions since I85C I have nen a dozen men disturbed by what I would call. If It were not bad language , 'dam-fool friend : ; ' and you know nothing seems to de stroy the equanimity , the philosophy , the courage and the common tcnte of an Ameri can citizen Hle ; having a lot of fellows whooping him up far ilia presidency. I sup pose Garfleld was bhaken by them by their roaring. "I huvs never seen a man announced on the platform as 'our nsxt president' and I have seen u good many who didn't look as If he liked It and wanted , more of It. Now , it was pretty hard on Garfleld to have people running to him and telling him ho was cer tainly the coming man , aird that the only thing certain about John Sherman with re gard to the presidency -wee ( bat be could not bs nominated , even though , as all eald , be was 'the. best equipped man In the country. ' The fact Is , this got < o be a stereotyped phrase with the politicians who professed friendliness to Sherman and was carried to such an extent that the formula 'the bett equipped man In the country' became almost au Insult. But Mr. Sherman might , perhaps , console Mmst-lf with the reflection that with possibly three ptlong tb country has never chosen Its 'best equipped man' for president. IIONKST AND HONORABLE. "I think General Garfield was honest ant honorable. He meant to do the right thing , und I know ho was disturbed by what ho knew to be the Inevitable Implication upon him and bis motives for being1 nominated himself when he had accepted the duty of doing all that was In his power to nominate somebody else. He was particularly anxious and concerned as to what Air. Sherman would think , and worried some of his friends about that till they bicame Impatient with him. But I did not think then , and I don't think now , that this was a manifestation of con scious ) guilt. As for his desire to be presi dent , General Garfleld was brought hero upon various pretexts , the real purpose being JOHN SHERMAN. that ho should have a conference with Gen eral Arthur and Senator Conkllng. At first Senator Conkllng was not to be found , pos sibly out of motives of delicacy , and every body waa In a state of perturbation about It. General Qarfletd told mo , however , that he had an Invitation , which meant a private In terview , with Conkllng , or In Garfleld's ex act words , 'a pocket Interview , ' and that , he didn't want to bo president badly enough to accept * the Invitation. I thought that showed that Garfield was holding himself pretty straight ; that he waa In the right channel , according to the old charts. I do not care to add anything to this except the plainest ex pression of the opinion that It was not at any tlmo In the course of the Chicago con vention ot 18SO within the power of Qarfield lo have brought about the nomination of Sherman , and I ought to tuy , slnc I think It Is so , that If Garfield had discovered a : hance to bring about Sherman's nomination tie would have done so. Six weeks ago I suffered with a very severe cold ; w.is almost unable to speak. My friends all advised me to consult a phy sician. Noticing Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy advertised In the St. I'aul Volks Zeltung I procured a bottle , and after taking It a uhort while waa entirely well , I now most heartily recommend this remedy to any one suffering * ylth a cold.

"I don't want any notoriety about this , ' exclaimed a retired country editor to the Chicago Chronicle man. "I am here on pri vate business , but I will tell you of the In cident about which I spoke to the hotel clerk. I call It an Incident bscause the original feat to wipe up the floor with my body failed ; not because I nas a better man than the man who called , but because I was a sort of sirub diplomat. "I was editor and publisher of a weekly newspaper In the country town of a border county out In Missouri at Hi ? time of the In cident. There is a general idea , or used to be , that the country editor had to get licked or lick his assailants about four times a year. There was a good deal of moonshine about that. My recollection is that the average country editor was a peaceable man , and there were not many occasions when the people got up a riot on account of anything he wrote. It has become a sort of fad to make the country editor ludicrous. But I Imve noticed a tendency on the part of en lightened newspapers to blue pencil the jokes which their funny men write about country editors. Still , there were times when the monotonous routine of the country editor's life felt the undulating motion which earth quakes produce. I will tell you about one. MARRIED IN A CORNFIELD. "The country editor has no city editor or exchange editor or reporter or any other at tachment known to city readers. He Is the whole thing. He has got to get his news at the corner drug store or at the poatofllco while ho Is waiting with the town for the nail to be distributed. Then between the : lmes In which he Is helping to print some auction bills and run off his own paper he writes. I had been ) over to the drug store , where I heard some/news. In a remote por- : lon of the county thei'e lived a farmer who md a daughter , Sheuwas quoted as being 'air to look upon andna belle on the creek Mat meandered through her father's acres. You will notice that I said meandered. It was a trifle flne-lulrod , that word was , In those days , but I remember that I used It In Ii3 article. The glrti eloped with ono of the lelghbor's boys Itiwaa In the corn season. The corn In tli ? fields was higher than * a nan's head. The fellotr who eloped with the girl met her In the cornfield , where he had a ireacher concfaled , land the wedding took > ! aoo right there amid the rustling of the ilades and ( be nodding of the tassels. Then ho groom and his bride mounted ono horse- and rode awav. In doing so they rode down a good deal of maturing corn , let the fence down whore they derailed it and disappeared. "Tho preacher went to the house of the farmer and put up for the night. That was usual with country preachers. Just bsfore retiring the preacher called for the family ilble , as was the custom with preachers In hose days , and read one ot the pHalms ot David. That over , he and the farmer and his wife knelt for prayers , and Just about where 10 would have usually cut It off he put In a postscript requesting God to use his Influ ence In aaiistliiR the father and mother of hat household to bear wiyi resignation and fortitude the loss of their daughter by mar- lago with the son ot Neighbor up the creek , 'which marriage/ said the praying Minister , 'I hereunto witness and subscribe ny name , this day of . ' INTERRUPTING A PRAYER. "My informant at the drug store- said the preacher never got to the amen of his prayer. The farmer was up as It he had been hit by a hornet , and going over to the chair on vhlch the minister had his head bowed ho kicked the chair over and let the minister prawl on the floor , The good wife tried to act u peace commissioner , but the old man put her in the closet and undertook to lie the preacher. The reverend gentleman hai anticipated this and lit out. That was tli Item. "I wrote it out in extenro , an we used t say. About four columns of sheriff's sale had dropped out since the last Issue , and th Franco-Prussian war had closed two week before , so that I had space to kill. I made three columns of the elopement and comparec the young man to Lochlnvar , and spread ou the scene at prayer. The paper went to prcio Saturday. The following Wednesday ag I was locking up the form of 'a horse bll a man came In with the usual question abou the editor. I told him I was playing tha role. He said he believed I was the man who printed that article about the elopemcn of Mlos , the daughter of Squire . I said yes. 'Well , ' he replied , 'I'm one of hli neighbor ? , and he ast me to Jea drop In ant Ray as how he would be In town next Satur day at 1 o'clock , by the court house time and that he would on that occasion skin you alive and stop your durned old paper Indefi nitely. ' And ho never broke his word about anything. ' "faE'Xed ' the young man why Squlro had taken the trouble to Inform me so par ticularly In advance , and why ho had not come himself. The young man replied : 'He's busy klllln' hogs. Ho couldn't hlro any extra help , as he had desired. Hog klllln' has got to be attended to. I just came in to accommodate him. It's none o' my business , but he Is goln' to help me kill liogs next week , and I have to bo accommo- datln. ' And he always keeps his word. ' WAITING FOR THE INVASION. "I said all right , and ho went out. I said to ono of my printers that It was a funny lime of the year to kill hogs. My reason [ or doing this was to show my Indifference : o the threat. But the printer said that the 'armer was probably practicing , so as to getup up his nerve by Saturday. This did not make me any more comfortable. The day msed , and nothing more was raid on the caller or the threat. That night I mentioned It at the drug store , where the consensus of opinion was ) that Squire was a man of ils word , and that before ho had been elected a Justice ot the peace , and when he Ived In Indiana , he had killed four men , t'tolo ' another man's wife and turned a fourth of July Into a day of mourning. As ho day set for his call upon mo drew near I was Informed by many of my suberlbers of ho pqulre's determination to keep ila word , and some of my friends suggested that I had better go out of town or a day. That stirred my bouthern blood ! So Friday night I had a caucus In my sanctum the printing ofllce. 'Among those present , ' as you say In your society columns , vero my forman , a frail young man who hade o wear an overcoat to make a shadow ; the egular comp , a boy who had been at the case about a year , and the devil , a sawed- off boy who had been put to work In my ofllce to keep him out of the calaboose. I ex- ilalned to them the threatened Invasion and old them I expected every nun to turn In as soon aa Squire made the first hostile movement. I drilled each man for his part. The- foreman was to have , the long poker vhlch we used for the stove , the regular comp was to have the mallet , the devil was to use roller well Inked , while I was to use a side- tick of the forms. I put them through all f the evolutions and then sent them away or the night , THE INVADER OVERAWED. "The next day was full of suspense. As It var.bJ , as they say In the novel , toward 1 'clock , I massed my force about the Im- > oclng stone In the rear of the ofllce. At xactly 1 two men rode before the ofllce oor , dismounted , tied their horses to the wnlng post and entered. One of them was large man and he wore an army overcoat he kind worn by the mllltla. He walked ack and atkcj If I was the oJltor. I replied flirmatlvely , anil with Impresalvenees. He aid his name was Squire , and asked me if I had received the Information he had ent mo. I told him I had. 'I never broke ly word In my life , ' he said , and with that IB unbuttoned his overcoat and was about to lirow It aside when I raised my arm and hooting stick. My force fell In Just as I had rilled them to do. It must have been a ableau , The man looked for a moment aa If le were amazed. I suppose ; he was , Then 0 put on his coat and said ; 'How much U our paper a year ? ' When I had told him ic subscribed for' ( wo copies and paid for liem In advance.

' But I wa not sure that ho was satisfied , and did no know what I might m t at the tavern , told him It was my busy day , but Informci him that I had a bottle of bourbon on ham and we- sat down at the old pine table am Indulged. As he left me he said : 'I think would a licked you , but you see I'm laylu for that d d preacher. And If I find him reckon I'll want the press for a friend , fo it's a power In a lawsuit. ' "I never heard whether he found the preacher. I sold my office soon after and qul the country. i "That was quite an election we had las Tuesday.

A remarkable case of human sensitiveness is that of Clarence Barton , IE years old , son of sturdy country parents , who lives some flvo miles northeast of Redman village and twelve miles cast of Watertown , N. Y. His sense of feelIng - Ing , hearing , smelling , tasting and seeing , Fays the New York Herald/ are marvclously developed. A pin scratch will cause him to faint away from pain ; a half dozen sour grapes or a sour apple1 or an orange that Is not positively fresh , If eaten by the boy will ren der him perceptibly Intoxicated ; his Eight Is so rcmarkab'ly keen that ho can at once dis tinguish separate characteristic ? and pe culiarities In similar objects which an or dinary observer would utterly fall to dis cover ; his sense of smell Is so acute that If vessels of water from a dozen different springs in the neighborhood arc nubmltted to him he can Immediately tell by smelling each In turn what spring It was brought from , tell which Is the most strongly Im pregnated with Iron , which with magnesia , which with alum , etc. , although to the com mon individual there Is no perceptible differ ence even In the taste of these waters ; his sense of hearing Is moat acute , and , whlle > rot particularly nervous , as one might sup pose eo delicately organized a child would je , there are some seemingly trivial things which are almost unbearable to his sensitive ears. ears.The tick ot a watch , the buzzing of a bee , : ho patter of raindrops airtl the squeaking of a door upon' ruity hinges are among these annoyances. Loud or sudden noises , as of guns , blasting , etc. , he * does not mind , His sense of taste Is no less acute than his other senses. Food has to be especially uasonetl tor htm , and Is prepared In vessels which must bo scrupulously free ot the faintest trace of anything but the subrtanco or aril- eld which It is Intended each vessel Is to bo lartlcularly used for. Thus each article of 'ood has to be separately prepared In a ves sel In which nothing else has been previously cooked or prepared. The slightest quantity ot salt , peppir , spice , sugar , or of vinegar , etc. , Is sufficient for Ma needs. A single drop of alcoholic spirits In a gallon of water would at one ? be detected > y the boy. Adams is the railroad station neareit to tollman village , A mlle or so west of Adams a the large sei > d firm and barns of T. V. Maxon. Last fall Mr. Maxon harvested less nan a peck each ot three different new va- letlea of wrinkled peas , grown from samples ent to him from England a year ago last prlng. These peas , to the common observer , are. exactly alikeIn appearance that la to y , a handful of ono kind Is so like the other wo kinds that one would at once , say they are all from the tame kind of vines. However , when growing In the fields , there s a wide difference In these varieties , which ho veriest blockhead would have no 01111- ulty In discerning. Mr. Maxon Is an expert D3cd-grower , and very slight differences In Imllar eeeds arc quickly noted by him ; bu * when through the carelessness of a blunder- UK farm hand , who thought them all the am ? kind , these new varieties of peas were topclessly mixed In a bag , Maxon could no nore dlstlngulih , pick out or assort one [ In'J from another than If he had never seen pea. Ho wa * In a quandary. The needs were Imost valueless unless assorted. Maxon mew the Barton hoy's father , and , meeting iltn at Adams one day , ( old him how hl ow peas were hopelessly mixed. Ilirlon ealil e thought hli boy could sort them out. laxon became Intemted at once , and laid hat if the boy could do It , which could not bo verified until the plants were growing la the field , he would ( jive him $50. On returning home Barton told his son what Maxon had said , and a few days later Clarence and his father rode over to Adams and to Maxon's seed barns. The tack , or mixed peas was dumped Into o pickling tray , and after a handful of each of the threo- varieties ( which , luckily , Mr. Maxon had saved out to send away , Just before theyr were mixed ) , were shown to the boy for comparison , he went to work. Maxon doubted the boy's ability to accurately separ ate the peas , and said so. but Clarence kept right along diligently at work until the seeds were sorted , only remarking when bar drove away with his father : "I'll ccms after that $50 next fall , Mr * Maxon ! " It was with a good deal of doubt and mis giving that Mr. Maxon jiut those peas In the ground last spring , but about the mid dle of last month ho sent a check , payoblo- to the order of Master Clarence Barton not for $50 , but for $100. So far as could bo discovered not a single error hail been mad In the sorting. The boy's sense of touch Is also marvel- ourfy acute. Ho can name all the prime colors by simply touching Ills fingers to. whatever possesses the color cloths , draper ies , painted or colored woods , flowers , etc Another remarkable test , and one which , lias caused no end of wonder here , Is what , young Darton calls the typewriter test. In : hls test the typewriter carriage Is turned jack , and the. lad places the tip of his fore- Inger directly over where the types nro jrought against the ribbon , and as the keys , uro manipulated by a skillful operator h reads the words as fast as they are written against his finger. This Is considered hero as being the most remarkable case of th clnd on record. A favorite amusement with young Barton a tald to be. . the drawing of pictures of anl- tulculac , which he Is able to discern with he naked eye In a glass of common spring vater , but which to others would require a. ' strong microscope to discover. Otherwise , the lad Is much as all boys of ils age full of life and fun.
