WASHINGTON- 21. IJrv. .1. Curry ,

thu day at the st.ifo depart inent , where he
had a consnlfatlon with the r.corelary and as-
Blstanlwcrctury of.slatc , with hlspredecwor ,
( Jen. Foster , and with Mr. Williams , United
States Consul general to Culw. To a repoi tcr

vein bert
"Ills said , " lemarked Ihe jejiorter , "that
you were once In command at Andcrpoiivlllo
mid were In part responsible lor the cruelties
practiced toward federal prisoners. "
"I novcr was in Andersoiivillu In my life , '
replied Dr. Curry , "mid I never had com
mand of federal prisoners In my life , except
snub as I captured myself , and those 1 turned
orcratoiicc. 1 cannot Imagine how such a
story got Its start , mid I shall IK ) glad if jou
will make my denial bioad and emphatic. "
"The critics of your appointment * ' con
tinued the tepoiter , "question the pioprlety
of pending a baptist clergyman asa national
repiescntallvo ton court so strongly catholic
as thai of Spain. "
'JhuciitlcNiii is unjust , " was the reply.
"It would lie a strange thing If the strongest

pilsert at the criticism , too. The hardest
struggle I ever had when I was in imlitical
life was as a candidate for the legislature in
Alabama during the know-nothing exclle-

to disqualify romanlsts from holding office.
Sly comity was a pivotal one , ami my com

Htale. My success was very gralifj ing. "
"Were von an anti-know-nothing if"
"Yes : Iwa.sthe champion , I eunnolsay of
the Catholics , but of that principle of Amer

A Washington dispatch to the World says'
Olllce brokers here seem to be doing a very
good business ami advertisements In the

'have plenty of clients , who pay them commis

kers wild out ehc.ulars to applicants forotlice
In which they tell them that tlm civil fccrvlco
lilies can be oveieoiuo by men who have
imftn-i Inlluence and upon payiucutor money
to them this Inlluence can be obtained. One
Mucombcr , a Conner alleged lawyer of
lluilalo , Is doing business with certain clients
throiiL'hoiit the coiinti y upon tlio bases that
he is a personal friend of the president ,
and theretore has pechil facilities for
obtaining good positions. A ( irund 1'apids

CINTINKATI , Oct 21. If there is no delay
on account of the controversy over thu tinner ,
feet returns , it js probable that the otllcial
canvasot Hamilton county's vote will l > c com
pleted to dav. The count at noon had gone
through tlioi0th ! waul , leaving but live more
wauls lo canvas. Thcie me two precincts ,
one in the ninth and one in the eighteenth
waul , are nolycliounte < l and this may cause
a delay , but enough will be known to-night to
bhow Uie result bo tar both sides claim the
election uf their legislative tickets.
The total vote in the tint twenty wards In
Cincinnati , omitting the Iwo precincts who < m
retmns are irregular , and which are both
democratic , gives J madly SK.M" , Foraker
2b. ! , ' > H , Leonaid 715. The vote on senators is ,
democratic from ' . ,13710 iJitOl , republican
from St ! l to 31,540. AftPi the city vote is
counted , the country pieclncts remain to be
counted , which will piolung thevvoik until
late to-nght !
The oliicial count has occupied the atten
tion of the candidates and their friends all
day. II has In-en doyly watched by both
parties. During the day the judges of pre
cinct F , Ninth waul , came in to complete
their let urns. The tcturns which tlm cleik
found when he came to canvass that vote con
sisted of a blank tally sheet and a Duck
worth club election blank with a vote tilled
in. Kx-tJovernor Hayes , acting for the re
publican candidates , protested against per
mitting an amended icturn being leceivcd.
Thu clerk , however , icceived the retuin
and Hayes said tlm matter would be
brought In-fore the court When pieclncl D ,
nineteenth ward , was i cached , ex-ioveinor
Noyes piote.sted against its being received
liecause the count ol votes did not begin un
til Wednesday night , twenty-nine boms
alter the ] > ells closed. The molest was noted
and the precinct canvassed. A protest was
also iniide by Noyes against piccinct F , nine
teenth ward , because one judge and one
cleik ictu.scd to sign the returns on the
gionnd that thu box had been icmoved to the
station house and the ballots tampeicd with.
The ballot was noted and the count pio-
ceeded.
Late In the afternoon Dr. Ansln Wilson ,

the canvasM'is that ho would apply for a
