ij ? , July 1) ) . Mr. John O. Nlco *
lay , President Lincoln's private secretary ,
lias tmtay nddrcsscd the following open letter
to Colonel A. 1C McClure , editor of tbo I'hll-
mlelphla Times :
I will not reply to your pcrsonnl abnsn ; It
utovt's nothing but your rusn and wounded
vanity at being expound in n press and blstor-
Joul m'H'tiitomont. You assorted tbat Presl-
dent Lincoln opposed the rentmilnrUIon of
Iliuinll.al Mainlln for vlco president. 1 re
futed thnt assertion by culling attention to
the wrlttifn record , wburuln Lincoln In Ids
own handwriting explicitly statci the con
trary. You now reussorl your statement , or
to put It In oilier words , yon accusu President
Lincoln of acting a low political deceit , und
with his own hand writing n del berate lie.
The country will not liellovu thu monstrous
Implication.
Allow mo to restate the fact. I was at tlio
llaltlmore convention nn u spectator. Thu
chairman of tbo Illlnnlsdiilrgnllon , lion II O.
Cook , bad n conrersutlon with mn about tlio
course of certain illsnirrcted loaders In Illi
nois. Thit conior3.illnn I rnptiuted to the
jirosldont In a jotter to Major liny , my assist
ant pi I vain HPcrotury. In part ns follows :
"What transpired at home .ind what bo lias
lienrd from suvoral sources IIUVH made Cook
inuplclous th.it Snolt inny ba untrue to Lin
coln. Onnof tliOHtnws ublch led him to this
bolluf IH tlrit Swell Imx tulugruiihud huru tire-
Ing tin ) lllluols dolcgnllnn to KO fur Holt ,
Cook wants to know conlldpntlally whether
fiwctt l.s all right , whether In urging Holt for
vlco president ho ri'tlueta thu president's
wishes , wliutberthu president has uny prefer
ence , ulther norsonully or on thu score of po -
Jtlcs. or whothnr Ho wishes not oven to Inter
fere by a confidential liullnilfon. "
Upon this letter President Llneoln made the
following endorsement In his own hanjl-
wrltlng. "Hwett la unquestionably till rlitht.
Mr. Holt Is n good man. but 1 hud not hoarder
or thought of him for vice president. Wish tenet
not Interfere about vlco president. Cannot
Interfere about plutfoim ; convention must
JmlKu for itself. "
This written evidence Is limited In our his
tory and no amount of denial or assertion to
the contrary can ever turn It. jln trying to
evade its force you assort that Lincoln called
you to Wiihhlimton and ill Rod the nomination
of Johnson and that you returned to Ilultl-
inoro to work and vote In obedience to that
request ngulnst your personal prouilectlons.
Lot us examine tills claim
The olllclal proceedings of the con\ontlon
nhow that you wcro ono of the four do legates
ntlurgu from Pennsylvania , the others hulng
Blnion Cameron , \ \ . w. U'ntehum and M. It.
.Lowry. while tlio list of dlstrlctdulojatos con
tains the names of mnny oilier prominent
1'oiinnvlvunluiis. The procoedlims also show
that you acted an ontliely minor part. Vou
wore a member of the common organisation
nnd presented Its report , lecommcndln the
Iiarniiincnt olllcors. whleli wore elected. With
that prcMcntatlon your service und inlliicncn
ondrd so far ns can bu g ilhcred from the pro
ceedings. Of the other Pennsylvania dolo-
RiitesV. . W. Kctchnm was ono of the vice
-v presidents of the ctjinontlon , E. MuPhoison
was on the committee on crodentlaln , A II.
Jtcodoron the commlltco on organlz itlnn , M.

J'oniiHylvanla delegation. So again umong
those who made motions and speeches worn
Clatiicnm. Tliiiddous Slovens , A. II. Keedur ,
O. A. Walborn , Gnlusha A. Grow and M. 11.
Lowry. but beyond the presentation of the
routine reuort 1 have mentioned your name
did not Rive forth the nnue.ilc of the smallest
mouse. Is It prohahla that Lincoln among all
these men would have called you alone to ro-
colvobls seeiot Instructions ? It Is u mutter
of public history that Simon Cameron was
more prominent and elllclcnt than any Ponn-
Bylvanlan In that st.ito to ulvo Lincoln a second
end term , and thnt on January 4 , 1SCI , ho
transmitted to the president the written re
quest of every union mom her of the Pennsyl
vania legislature to accept u runoinlimtlon.
This , und hi * subsequent open and unvarying
upport , ( oft no doubt of.micron's ( attitude.
How wus it with you ? I llnd among Lincoln's
papers the following letter from yon :
FIIANKMN KicromToiir OKPICE. OHAMIIKIIH-
nuun. Pa. . May 2 , 1W > 4. Sir : I havu been
nma7cd to see It Intimated In ono or two Jour
nals tlmt I am nutcordl.illy In favor of your
renoinlnatlon. I shall notice the Intimations
no further than to ansuro you thut you will
have no more faithful , earnest or cordial sup
porter In the llalllmoro convention than your
obedient servant , A. 1C. .McCi.uuu.
This IH only u month before the llaltlmoro
conviintlon that you felt called upon to per
sonally nrotost ug.ilnst nccus.itlons ot putty
disloyalty. Hut this Is not , nil. When the
time come to make the nominations for vlco
president , Simon Uamoron , chairman of the
Pennsylvania , delegation , and one of thu ear
liest and most persistent friends of Lincoln.
Iilmsnlf nominated Hannibal Iliimlln for vice
Iirosldont , while the whole vote of Pennsyl
vania was on tbo llrst ballot cast for Hamlln's
renomlniitlon. So also the Illinois delegation
cast It.s ontlro Vote far llamlln on the first
ballot. Docs ItHtat.-d to roaaon that Lincoln
culled upon you to desert Hamlln and nomi
nate Johnson and Rare no Intimation
of this doslro to the chairman of
the Pennsylvania doleuutlon and of the
Illinois delegation ? And once more , IH It
jirobnbla thut if Lincoln had desired the
nomination of Johnson ho would have allowed
Bwott. "one-of the president's most Intlmuto
trlundm to urge the nomination of Holt ? "
Hare you venture the assertion that Lincoln
was deceiving Cameron , deceiving Cook ,
currying on a sec rot Intrigue against. Hamlln
nnd another secret Intrigue against , Holt nnd
that on top of the whole he was writing u de-
llboruto Ho to us ? Thut may ho your concep
tion of Abraham Lincoln , but It is not mine.
That inuy bo your syutom of politics , uut It
was not his. JOHN II. NICOI.AV.
Now hot Us Hour 1'roiu Sickles.
Cuicuno , July 9. A former resident of
Tennessee , now rpsldlng in this city , who
was intimately acquainted witb Andrew
Johnson when ho was the most conspicuous
figure In Tennessee- , makes the following
statement in connection with tbo controversy
which has arisen between Editor McClure
of I'htladelplila nnd John Q. Nlcoluy as to
whom was 1'rosldeiit Lincoln's cholco as n
running mate ou the ticket oflbb1 ! : "In
May , IbiVI , preceding tbo national republican
convention , I mot in the soutb General
Daniel E. Sickles. In a conversation
with mo at that tliuo on political
matters bo said to mo that ho bad
coma soutb for the purpose of ascertaining
nil he could about tbo character and sUndlnj ;
ot Andrew Johtison.whoin ho was supporting
for the nomination of vlco president. I asked
blm at once what bo tlioupht Mr. Lincoln
would say to suoh an arrangement. Ho replied -
plied direct nnd with emphasis , us If ho had
forgotten the strong point in bis case , that ho
represented Mr. Lincoln in the matter and
that bis presence in the .south was at the per
sonal request of the iircsldont. It is needless
forme to say that I did all I could to aid Ucn-
ornl Sickles In bis mission. I leave to Gen
eral Sickles the remainder of thu story if ho
oca tit to relate it , "

A Very Ijuuky Ksonpo.
Last evening a straugnr attempted to board
n Twenty-four Mi street motorcar while under
full speed , and missing bis footing foil to the
ground close to the car. In some way his
clothes caught on the cur ami ho was drugged
nnd rolled along the ground and ever the
ends of the ties for some rods before the
train could bo stopped. Some of the tlmo
the unfortunate man wan almost under the
wheels. Fortunately hoescaped without
bolng much hurt.

The merit of South Omaha as a bog mar-
Vet Is demoaatrntod in ouo Way or another
pvery day. TUB UKK has lately boon sbow-
Ing that on account of the lower prices of
cirttlo at Kansas City several train loads of
stock are boughtovcry wnok on that market
nnd shipped here , A moro gratifying com
parison Is found In tl.o hog market. Whllo
the total packings for the season have do *
creased from I,80\JO ( in 1SOO to 3,891,000 for
the corresponding period this year. Chicago
scores a docrcnno of 240,000 to 1,310,000. Kan
sas City a decrease of 210,000 to 010,000
while South Omaha's dccrenso Is only 3'J,000
to 400,000. Hut whllo South Omaha shows a
decrease In slaughterings of ; K,000 It shows
nn Increase In receipts since January 1 from
011,03(5 ( to Sn2,7Wi. The plain inference is that
South Omaha ii growing as n stock market
much faster than nnj other ono In the coun
try , nnd that the quality of the hogs - received
ceived Is so much bettor thai other packers ,
notably Boston , till their orders for cholco
stock at this market.

CHICAGO. July 9. (
President Cable of tbo Rook Island loft
hastily for Mow York last night. When this
fact became known today.it caused some
thing of a sensation in railroad circles and
speculation has boon kept at a high pitch as
to the object of his trip.
Recent developments have convinced cer
tain Western passenger association lines ,
much to their surprise , that Mr. Cable's road
is not in sympathy with tno efforts being
made to dowa the Alton , consequently they
have concluded that his presence in Now
York moans a vigorous protest to the trunk
lines against any further enforcement of tbo
boycott.
"Things bavo reached that point now , "
observed n prominent general manager ,
"whoro something must bo done to remove
the causes thnt threaten to destroy the pros
pects of a prosperous year. Heavy crops In
Iowa , Missouri , Kansas , Nebraska , Dakota
nnd the northwestern states will glvo the
railroads plenty of ouslnoss this fall and If
rates can bo maintained they will make
money nnd wo need it , but n rate war would
simply ruin us. I doubt whether any corpor
ation west of Chicago eould keep out of a re
ceiver's bands with another two years of decreased -
creased earnings. "

nibal Hamlln , and did not influence the con

son. Mr. Cook siivs. to ascertain how Lincoln
stood m the question of the vico-prosidonov ,

Cook , "I was satlstled that ho would bo per

The Lake street elevated road Is to ba sold ,
not to the Canadian Pacific , but to a syndi
cate of eastern capitalists who have had rep
resentatives hero for a month. It U under
stood that in a day or tno the control of tbo
road , work on which had. stopped because of
lack of funds , will mss into the hands of
Jcsso Soligman , the Droxols , and the Thom
son-Houston , et ul. Lpcal , monlod man will ,
in all probability , bo Included in the syndi
cate , and James Piirsons of Philadelphia ,
who was ono of tbo , original stockholders ,
may retain his interest. The Now York-
Boston-Philadolpbia syndicate bad n com
petitor , though , in Canadian capitalists who
regarded Chicago as a profitable Hold for in
vestment , and they bent their engineers and
agents to examine the Lake street road. To
the activity of these Canadians , some of
whom reside in Montreal , may bo attributed
the story that the Canadian Pacific has
bought the road. The Canadians , it Is pre
sumed , wish they had. vVhilo they have not
desisted in their efforts , the eastern Ameri
cans have succeeded to the extent that the
final papers may bo aliened nny of these days.
The price has been fixed and It is given out
that the syndicate has a construction com
pany with n capital of $5,000,000 besides an
unlimited revenue on which it cm draw
should occasion require. Not only this , but
the Thomson-Houston company indicates
that tbo motive power is to bo electricity
rather than steam. It Is not known definitely
that electric motors will be used ou the ele
vated lines. They undoubtedly will bo ,
though , on the several loops in contemplation
which will servo ns feeders to the main or
Lake street branch. At first It was thought
advisable to extend the elevated line west to
Oak park , but this idea socms to have bf-on
abandoned In favor of the electric surface
road feeders which can bo built cheaply and
servo tholr purpose until the territory is
moro thickly populated.

Great Yield I'roinlsnd by the Nebraska
Fields Now Growing.
' The sugar boot crop Is in excellent condi
tion , " said Mr. C. 1C. Hamilton of Grand
Island , uho is one of the managers of the
great beet sugar factories at Grand Island
and Norfolk , while conversing with friends
at the Millard hotel last night.
"Wo have2,200 acres at Norfolk nnd 2,700
acres nt Grand Island , and if the weather is
not too web later In the summer I think tbo
crop will yield , where it has been ivoll cared
for , ever twenty tons to the acre. What wo
need now are moro laborers. Every man ,
woman and child in thu vicinities of brand
Xslnnd nnd Norfolk , who applies for work ,
can now IInd It in our boot lields , und I tell
you it is working good times for the people
up there. "
Mr. Hamilton had some samples of tbo crop
now growing nt Grand Island , and exhibited
the succulent , sachnrine-produclng vegetables
to these who happened to bo about tbo ro
tunda.
"Tho sugar beet , " Mr. Hamilton wont on
to explain , "must have good , largo leaves or
it will not bo rich in sugar. I'ho loaves of n
good crop will almost entirely cover tbo
ground when the plants are fully matured.
It Is the action of thp oxygen upon the salts
sucked up from the soil which produces the
sugar , so the larger and healthier the leaf
the bettor. "
The vegetables exhibited lust nl ht were
about three Inches thick , ten inches long and
had loaves moro than a foot in length.
