criticism, gave to tho Associated Press
statement, In which ho declares that

fered by tho government who will tes
tify In accordance with tho statement
made by tho president." He also says
tho president Is in error In nearly
every statement presented as corning
from the secret service men, so far ns
these btatemehts refer to the Stewart
case. Mr, Tlnloy's statement, in part,
Is as follows:
"Tho president states that Stewart
swore ho lived In MePhcrsou county,
Nebraska, In making his final proof on
lands. As a matter of fact, Stewart
sworo ho had always lived in Council
Bluff9. Tho president Is In error in
nearly every statement made by him
as coming from the secret service
men. Mr. Stewart is not and never
was engaged In the wholcsalo business

dent's informant states, Ho Is not a
stockholder in tho Omaha and Coun
cil Bluffs Street Railway company, nor
Is he associated In any way with Post
master Hnzleton of this city, as indi
cated In tho president's message, and
a great Injury Is done to Mr. Hnzleton
to have, his nnmcthus connected with
such a controversy, it Is inconceiv
able, that thero should' appear in a
state paper emanating from the office
of tho president of tho United States,
a quotation so filled with error of the
most prejudicial character, but much
less Is It possible for one to associate
with such a paper the very distasteful
and inappropriate references to such
polished, dignified and conscientious
gentlemen bb William P. Gurlcy and
EdwnrcV W. Hart."
Mr. Hart, In a brief statement, de
clares that tho president's utterances
aro tho result of lnnccurato reports
