THE GARFIELD NOMINATION. Interview with Wharton Barker, the Man Who Suggested It—Correspondence Between Him and Garfield. Philadelphia Prea*. Duringa brief interview, Mr. Barker admitted that the management of the Gariield campaign at Chicago, before and after the convention of June, 1880, was wholly in his hands. ‘‘The oft-repeated charges,” he added, “that the late President Garfield was not true to the Hon. John Sherman I know to be absolutely false. But as I some day propose to write a history of the movement which led to Garfield’s nomination and election, I ran to-day only produce a copy of connected memoranda prepared bv me eighteen months ago, but never published.” The memoranda referred to comprise a batch of correspondence, forming a complete narrative of the events that occurred prior to June, 1880. Tnese indicate almost conclusively that the movement to bring Gen. Garfield to the front as the Republican candidate for the presidency had its origin in Philadelphia, and was brought about at the suggestion and through the influence of "Wharton Barker. The movement first manifested itself as early as May, 1879, in the editorial columns of the Penn Monthly, a periodical controlled by Barker. It was not until Dec. 29, 1879, however, that Mr. Barker directly opened the question of Gen. Garfield’s possible candidacy. On that date he Addressed a letter to the General himself, and idler a personal conference with him early in January, 1880. active steps were taken tor immediate organization. Under date of Feb. 2, 1880, Mr..Barker wrote to Gen. Garfield, stating. among ottier things: “The opposition to you here a year or two Since was very great, under the belief that you were a free-trader; but your letter to me, called out bv a short article in the Penn Monthly, giving reasons why General Grant would not do, and why you would do. has ' changed the opposition into support. In a word, that letter of yours, stating how you became a member of the Cobden Club, in my bands, and those of such men as I saw fit to place it, has worked the change.” Mr. Barker, on April 19, addressed a letter to the late President, in which he said. “At my office, this morning, I had a conference with the Hon. Wayne MacVeagh and M". James McManes, which I believe will result in a public declaration on the part of Mr. McManes, the whole Philadelphia delegation and of many country delegates to the Chicago convention. This move. I atn quite cure, will end the Grabt movement the country over, and so far will be a great gain. The move will at first aid Mr. Biaine; but I believe I understand how to move so as to kill him, andnt the Chicago convention I hope the nomination will go as we want to have it.” In reply to this, General Garfield said: “It is becoming every day more apparent that tiie friends of the leading presidential candidates are becoming embittered against each other, to such an extent that whichever of the three may be nominated there would he much hostility of feeling in the conduct of the campaign. It will be most unfortunate if we go into the campaign handicapped by the animosities of the leading politicians.” On May 19 Mr. McManes received this note from Mr. Barker: “1 want to see you before noon, if possible. You can make a move in Illinois that will without doubt destroy Grant’s chances! and make your voice almost supreme at Chicago, June 2. Please let me know when I can see you. I shall be at my office all day.” On July 17. after the Chicago convention, C?nmii Garfield wrote as tollows to Mr. Barker: “More than a month has now passed since the Chicago nominations, and on the whole 1 think things are looking as well as we can expect, in view of the great disappointment many of our friends felt in failing to receive their choice. I think, however, that the party is settling down to earnest work, with many elements in our favor that have rarely worked in harmony. It will be a close Struggle, and we have a fighting chance to win. We will need all the wisdom and effort of our best men to make it successful.” On Oct. 17 General Garfield wrote again, saying: “Next to defeat, the most dangerous thing is partial victory. Tlie victory in Ohio and Indiana was not partial in so far as those States were concerned, but it can only be utilized by pushing the enemy at every contested point. Now is the favorable moment to ask for further exertion, and I hope you will not relax any of the fine energy you have displayed hitherto until the contest is ended.” General Garfield again w’rote to Mr. Barker, on Jan. 4, 1881, as follows: “Yours of the Ist inst. received. I note what you say in reference to the senatorial conflict now pending in Pennsylvania. Any intimation or pretense from any quarter that I have taken pari is without the least foundation. The very essencetf good government requires the free action of the people and their representatives in their election of representatives and senators. The visit of Senator Cameron here had no reference to that aubject. If lam quoted by anyone as having expressed any purpose to interfere, he has done me wrong. Please tell me to what you allude when you say ‘dangerous promises have been made with seeming authority?’ ” Mr. Barker wrote on Jan. 10: “In answer to your question, I have to inform you that Senator Cameron, on his return from Mentor, began taking ati active part in the Senatorial campaign. It was then given out that he had been called to Mentor; that it was a matterof choice for him whether he accepted for himself or one of his friends a seat in your cabinet; that voters need expect nothing from Washington for themselves and their friends, for the old distribution of patronage was to be revived, unless they gave their votes for the Cameron nominee.” The last letter of the batch is from General Garfield, on Jan. 18, 1881. In this he says: “The report to which you refer is absolutely without foundation. The gentleman named came here of his own accord, on business not at all connected with either of the topics to which the report referred. I am quite confident he could not have authorized any such report. The cause of sound politics everywhere requires the utmost freedom of action in regard to the choice of persons to hold office, whether to be senators or members of the cabinet,” Utilizing thu Cactus. 1.0.

So lar as the Times’s poll shows anything It seems to us to suggest that on the Republican side Senator* Edmunds has really the rtcongest following, while on the Democratic ilde nothing is as yet settled. But the most •emarkable showing of all is the steady ad'tfs.ee Mr. Arthur has made in the good

opinions and confidence, not of his party alone, but of the general public. We suspect the result of tlie star-route trials has hurt him, because the people resent a defeat of justice and naturally hold the highest authority responsible for it. But, aside from this, it is evident that Mr. Arthur will be a considerable element in the calculations of those Republicans who want, above all other things, to carry the next election. By the j way, in the Times list Mr. Arthur and | Mr. Edmunds together hold 121 to Mr. Blaine’s 108 votes. ! STEALING NEWS FROM THE WIRES How tlie Sneak Thief Intercepts Valuable Information in Transit. I Philadelphia Times. “Please tell me how to tap a wire,” said a j Times reporter yesterday to L. E. C. Moore, an experienced telegraph operator. “That’s a good deal like telling you how to break a bank, but if I should tellyou, you Couldn’t do it. An expert is required for the work of picking out the one message wanted from a hundred, stopping it and letting the others g} on to their destination. A good many people suppose that it is only necessary to cut the wire, attach another to the cut end whence the message is expected, and run it off wherever it’s wanted. The instant such a thing is done the operator knows it. He throws himself back in his chair and sings out: ‘My line’s grounded.’ Off goes a lineman to find the break. You see, the circuit is broken and the current runs off into the ground, and, although the tapper can get the message through his instrument if he happens by one chance in a million to hit the second when it passes, the interference will be instantly detected.” “Then bow should I proceed?” was asked good humoredly. “it depends on whether you merely wish to hear tlie message or whether you want to intercept it and send another in its place. In either case the great thing is to maintain the circuit.” “What’s the circuit?” said the reporter. “The circuit is the course pursued by the current over the wire to its destination and back through the ground to the place it came from. In the early days of the science it was thought necessary to maintain it by a wire back to the starting point. Since then we have discovered that the current will pass back through the ground, like a homing pigeon through the air. To resume, in order to merely overhear tue message it is necessary to make a loop or Y running from the wire to the instrument of the tapper and then back to the line. The wire is cut, the loop line attached and run out to the instrument, wnere the operator is, and then connected with the main wire. It is simply adding another instrument to those in use on the line, for you know every message is heard at every station on the route. Except for the purpose of concealment the interloper might just as well attach his instrument to the main wire at the poles. But he can only overhear; he cannot intercept messages. At the most he can change one worn—for instance, the name of a winning horse.” “Then how can a message be intercepted, suppressed, as at Long Branch?” asked the re porter. “The way those follows went to work, I suppose, was this,” said Mr. Moore. “They probably cut tlie connection in the manner I just explained, but instead of leading it back to the wire, they stopped it short. For this they must have bad two batteries and at least two operators. In such a case, the wire would be cut and a line led off from the New York end to one of the batteries; another is led from the Long Branch end to the other battery. Connection is thus utterly interrupted from New York to Long Branch, but the circuit is maintained from each place by these batteries. Then the operator at the cuf end of the Long Branch line simply constitutes himself the New Y’ork terminus. He gets every message and gives it to his co-operator at the other battery and instrument, who transmits it to New York. This goes on till the expected message comes. This he intercepts, writes another one to keep the number straight—for the nnmberof each dispatch is telegraphed with it, and where one is skipped the connecting operator immediately asks what has become of it—and his fellow-conspirator telegraphs tlie false message to New 7 York. Meantime the Long Branch tapper can answer all questions from the operator, who supposes him to be iri New York, and thus avert suspicion. While he is playing New 7 York to Long Branch, his confederate is acting Long Branch to New 7 York.” “It is very simple, then?” said the reporter. “Simple enoug'n,” was the reply; “but awfully risky, because of the linemen. One may come along at any moment, and their trained sagacity is such that they will detect the smallest wire running down a pole where it ought not to run, and detect the whole scheme.” “What prevents telegraph hne-tapping from becoming more common?” asked the reporter. “Simply because the important lines are duplex. That is to say, one wire wiil carry more than one message at the same time. With an ordinary instrument these, w’hen received, would be unintelligibly mixed. To properly take the messages from a duplex machine an amount of expense is required which would make too large an outlay for such a risky venture.” ROMANCE AT LONG BRANCH A Young St. Louis Heiress Rescued from Drowning by a Stranger. New York Special. Miss Millie Coombs, a beautiful orphan of seventeen, and an heiress with some SIOO,OOO in her own right, arrived at Long Branch, fronHßt. Louis, with her aunt, on Monday of last week. They found that at the West End. at which it was their intention to stop, no rooms could be had. so they took rooms temporarily at the Morris Cottage. Just before sundown the other evening, Miss Coombs, accompanied by two ladies and a male cousin, went into the surf. The surf was somewhat rough, but Miss Coombs did not heed it. When about 200 feet from her companions, a scream from the young lady told everybody that she was in danger. Th*e young man, her cousin, hastened with the other two ladies, who were on the point of fainting, to the shore. In the meantime tlie keeper launched the life-boat and rowed to the girl. The screams ceased, and it was believed the sea had swallowed her. Suddenly a dark object was seen to mount *u wave, and a cry was heard, “Here, here!” The boat was directed toward the spot and two persons clambered into it. They were Miss Coombs and her rescuer, William Whittlesey, who had been swimming some distance out in the sea. Before the boat reached shore Miss Coombs was coot and collected, pouring out her thanks to her brave rescuer. Wheu she reached the arms of her aunt, who was standing on the beach, a shout went up from me crowd" The cousin of Miss Coombs approached young Whittlesey, shook him heartily by the Land and placing a wellfilled wallet in Whittiesy’s hand, said: “Here, take this.” “Oh, no,” replied the young man, “I have only done Miy duty,” and all the persuasions could not tempt him to accept the proffered w’allet. The young man was persuaded tr accompany Miss Coombs and her friends to their cottage, where he blushed like a school girl under the praises bestowed upon him. He finally consented to accept a gold watch and chain, which the girl he saved will purchase for him. Whittles) 7 is twenty-one years of age, | and is a clerk in a railway office at lowa City.

TIIE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, THURSDAY, JULY 1 <), 18S3.

TOM THUMB. Incidents and Anecdotes of tlie Career’ of the Fatuous ami Hi* Wife. Writer in Cincinnati News Journal. Anent the death of General Tom Thumb :at MidJleboro, Mass., Sunday. I have a | tolerably clear recollection—though probai bly not more than live or six years old at the time—of playing with the General at a little Indiana village where the show with which lie was connected was wintering. In a general way I remember a bright little fellow who wore smart clothes and had a great many pretty things to show me, and who patronized and overawed me by turns, and made his society so agreeable that I risked ! the parental reproof on a good many occai sions in order to enjoy it. He was I probably about twenty years old at the time, and, any grown person being present, would strut about with a killingly-mannish air, but alone with me he abonuoned hlniseif with the heartiest enjoyment to the ordinary romping and familiarities with which children divert themselves together. Upon one occasion, when I had made a clandestine departure from the parental abode, and was wildly absorbed in a game of “tug” with the General in the barnyard of the house where he was stopping, my father suddenly appeared upon the -cene and sternly demanded my instant return home, with an added intimation that some mysterious “settlement” awaited me upon arrival. The General dropped his child manner as suudenly as though it had heed a hot poker, and drawing himself up to his full height—which wasn’t great, to be sure—he stepped protectinglv in front of me and waving my father oIF with the patronizing importance of the man of the world who had stood unabashed in the presence of kings and queens, he remarked: ‘Don’t be alarmed, sir, (calling my diminutive Christian name) is in my charge, and I will see that no harm comes to him.’ My father was too much astonished and amused to continue the discussion, and had hardly turned upon his heel when the General was again in hot pursuit around the barnyard of the playfellow his diplomacy had rescued from disagreeable consequences. Tne General and wife both visited this city in 1881 in connection with Barnum’s show, upon which occasion they were interviewed by Mr. Fluster, of the Gazette, who elicited many interesting facts of their history. Noticing that the General had grown quite corpulent and somewhat gray, while a wrinkle showed itself here and there, the interviewer asked his age, and was informed that it was forty-three. "Many, I know,” said the General, “take me to be fifty, but the mistake is ow 7 ing to Mr. Barnum, he having represented rue in my young days as some seven years older than I really was. I began my show life when only four years of age, but the public was tolrl I was eleven.” “Ah. ha! Then Barnum does tell stories sometimes?” remarked the reporter. “Yes,” broke in Mrs. Stratton, “just see what awful stories ho told about our courtship and marriage.” “What were those stories?” asked the scribe. “Why, don’t you know? He claims all the credit of our marriage, leading people to suppose that he did the courting.” “Well, now, what are we to infer from that, Mrs. Stratton?” “Why, it’s all a mistake, as I can testify to. It was a match of our own making, wasn’t it, General?” “Yes,” said Tom, while a slight blush suffused his face. “I think I am man enough to do my own courting. Why, I have kissed more women, sir, than any man in the world,” and the diminutive rascal bolstered himself up in his cushioned chair, and winked slyly at tlie man of news. Mrs. Stratton assented: “Yes, he used to kiss every lady that bought a picture from .him, and as he has been traveling for thirtynine years I expect he has t kissed a great many. But he doesn’t do it now. Not while I’m around, at any rate.” “Now. General, not to be impertinent, but have you neve 7 regretted the tving of yourself up in tlie bonds of matrimony?” “No, sir (emphatically); no, sir.” “And you, Mrs. Thumb?” “No, sir. I am perfectly satisfied. The General treats me kindly, and we live about as happily as the rest, I suppose.” “Do you and the General ever quarrel?” “W-e-1-1,” drawled out the little lady, looking slyly at Tom and then at the reporter until finally they both laughed. “W don’t exactly quarrel,” said Tom, “we merely disagree.” “When married folks tell me they never have any spats,” said Mrs. T.. “I just don’t believe them, that’s all. lam too much of a woman for that.” The reporter asked Mrs. .Stratton if she had not bathed at Coney Island the same summer, to which she replied: “Yes. I was in the water only five times, however, in just the sweetest little duck of a bathing dress, but the crowds bothered me so, and then the water didn’t agree with me and I gave it up.” “You never bathed, General?” “No, only in a bath-tub; that’s water enough forme. But, here, have a cigar.” “You smoke cigars, General?” “Oh, always; cigarettes won’t do forme. There’s no strength about them, see.” The reporter asked about the diamonds that Mrs. Stratton wore. “I own,” said the General, “together with my wife, $25,000 worth of diamonds, and we don’t carry a detectiYe with us either. That necklace, brooch, earrings, bracelet and two diamond hairpins I gave my wife upo our wedding day.” “Have you any children?” asked the Gazette man. “None living,” said the lady; “we never had but one, and that is dead*, though, according to the papers, we have had several.” The General was probably the most extensive traveler that ever lived, and has been on visiting terms with more potentates and notable personages than any other man. He made the tour of Europe four times. He was at all times a genial, pleasant companion and very fond of the social circle. During his long career he had accumulated a good-sized fortune, and when asked, a few years ago, why he did not retire from active life, he replied that he had become so accustomed to traveling that he could not be contented in retirement. He has often been charged with being fond of high living and fine wines, but his most intimate friends and associates say that he very rarely ate more than two meals a day, and that he was always an entire abstainer from strongdrink. He made friends wherever lie went, and at tlie time of his death the deceased had prob ably more personal acquaintances than any other man. living or dead. Tom Thumb was at theNewhall House when that ill-fated building caught fire, lust January, but escaped without injury. General Thumb once met President Lincoln. The latter was holding a consultation with some of the generals. One of the party said sneeriugly: “They call you ‘General*’ do they?” Mr. Lincoln resented the remark by saying: “I wish some of my generals were as good a general as he is.” The General was prouder of no honor tint he had achieved than of his having attained the 32° in Masonry. He hud a beautiful home at Middieboro. Mass., where he indulged in driving, yachting and other pastimes, and where he constantly entertained crowds of friends. In his “Recollections,” Mr. R-irnum tells an nmuiing incident of his first visit to London, illustrative of the wit and readiness of his protege: “The Duke of Wellington called frequently to see the little General at his public levees. The first time he called tlie General was personating Napoleon Bonaparte, marching up and down tne platform,

I apparently taking snuff in deep meditation. He was dressed in the well-known uniform of the Emperor. L introduced him to the ‘lron Duke,’ who inquired the subject of his I meditations. ‘I was thinking of the loss of j the battle of Waterloo,* was the little General's immediate reply. This display of wit I was chronicled throughout the country, and was of itself worth thousands of pound to i the exhibition.” j When it became known that Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren were engaged it created quite a sensation, aqd the New York Museum. where both were on exhibition, was thronged every day. the receipt*averaging $3,000. Mr. Barnum says: “Seeing the turn it was taking in crowding the museum, and pouring money info the treasury, I offered the General and Lavinia sls 000 it they would postpone tlie wedding for a month, J and continue their exhibitions at the museum. ‘Not for $50,000.’ said the General, excitedly. ‘Good for you, Charley,’ said Lavinia, ‘only you ought to have said not for a ; hundred thousand, for I would not.’ They j both laughed heartily at what they considered my discomfiture, and such it certainly was.” CHINA AS A WAR POWER. An Ariuy of Two Million Men :nd a Number of Heavy Ironclads. Dejuorpst's Monthly. While all India is in a ferment, and a gnat national uprising is possible, there is also a determination on the part of the Chinese people to assert their independence of foreign interference. Since the occupation ot Pekitt by the armies of Great Britain and France, the Chinese empire has been steadily preparing itself for possible future conflicts. It has reorganized its army, and bought or constructed a rather formidable fleet. Nearly j 2,000,000 of Chinamen can be put into tlie i field, armed and equipped as perfectly as any European army. Its fleet is of the best, comprising sixty-three vessels. To say nothing of ten unarmed corvettes and thirty wooden gunboats, the Chinese navy comprehends two heavy ironclads, two steel-plated corvettes built at Stettin and armed with * twelve-inch Krupp guns, one monitor and two steel cruisers, built in England, and furnished with Armstrong and Gattlii.g guns, six steel and six iron gunboats of English construction, and four steel torpedo boats purchased in Germany. To these vessels will soon be added the Ting Yuen, an ironclad which is admitted by French experts to be one of the most perfect embodiments of naval science. China could easily take possession of the west coast of the United States and occupy San Francisco and the other harbors on the shores of California and Oregon. The whole fleet of our contemptible American navy would not be a matcli*for any one of the Chinese gunboats. Happily the genius of the Chinese empire and the precepts of tlieir religion forbid any but a defensive war; but the Mongolian has ‘been cruelly ill-treated by England. France and Russia. JYobably the most infamous war in history was the one in which Great Britain forced China to open its ports to the opium trade. Then the claim of extra-territoriality is an intolerable one. Under it the consulate of any foreign power in tlie Chinese ports is recognized as a court superior to the native judiciary. Any difficulty or dispute between the Chinaman and a foreigner is tried by the consul of the power whose subject is a party to the action. This, of course, brings into contempt the native courts, and the Chinaman is practically denied all justice. Let us put ourselves in the position of the Chinaman. Suppose, for instance, in San Francisco, that every dispute between a Chinaman and an American was to be settled by the Chinese consul, who would inflict all the penalties for any transgression of the law. An American community would resist to tlie death; they would prefer to be exterminated rather than submit to such a humiliating state of things. Yet this is the system which all foreign countries demand of China* Japan and the other Asiatic nations. The French invasion of Tonquin, China, seemed at one time likely to bring about a war between China and France. Os course, anything like equal numbers of the Chinese army would be no match for a French force. But the Chinamen would have the advantage of overwhelming numbers and defensive positions. Four hundred millions of people could supply myriads of soldiers, who now have the advantage of European arms and the military discipline of the'Western world. The Chinaman does not fear death, though he is not aggressively warlike. The Hoadly-Butler New Democracy. Philadelphia Press. There is a big basswood plank labeled “New Democracy,” which reaches from Massachusetts to Ohio, with tlie center resting on the Allegheny mountains. Ben. Butler is teetering on the Boston end and George Hoadly on the Cincinnati end. Robert Pattison stalids on the plank at the middle, as a makeweight, and all three are having the best Kind of a time. A great many folks are looking at them and wondering if they carry any accident policies. A tall, quiet man, who doesn’t like to see so much nonsense among boys, stands behind Pattison with a big ax, such as tlie lumbermen use tip in the Ciearfield forests, in his h&nd. His name is Wallace, and he is a chopper from Choppville. The boys keep on teetering, and imagine all the folks are watching them. But they are not. They are merely waiting to see whether Iloadly or Butler will be up in the air wheu Uncle Wallace spits on his hands aud swings that ax. A Politician's Prophetic Bride. Kentucky Central Methodist. Few men in the country are better known than the Hon. J. Proctor Knott, recently nominated Governor of Kentucky. The following incident was related to us some years ago, and the words seem prophetic: At the time of his marriage he was in moderate circumstances, but won tlie heart and hand of a highly accomplished lady. A short time prior to the marrisge a lady friend said, jocularly: “If I were you I should not think of marrying a man who would not some day go to the Legislature, to Congress, and be GoVernor of the State.” Site replied, w 7 ith emphasis. “Mr. Knott will go to the Legislature.” To the intimation that there was not much honor in that, she again replied: “And Mr. Knott will go to Congress, toe.” After further remarks by her friend, with increased emphasis she said: “Mr. Knott will be Governor of the State.” Perlpipg It Was Not Wrong.
