"hut i have read tho correspondence between
tho president and Hon. M. E. Denton,
United States district attorney, connected
witb bis restoration to olllee, lu whlcb It
that bo was suspended from olllee for
bis apparent neglect of ofllclal duties in
making campaign speeches. Presumably my
suspension was made for the same reason. I
desire, therefore, to statu' the facts In my
ca-e. I mmlo but two speeches prior to the
receipt of thu order of susuusion; ono at
liutler, In an adjoining county, on tho evening
of October 1, and ono at tvlltanulni;, a
town near to Pittsburg, on the evening of
October
"I did not leiivo Pittsburg for Butler until
nearly 4 o'clock, October 1, and luturnod on
the morning of October !., about t) o'clock. I
left Pittsburg Katurduy, Octobor v), atop, m
and ruturueil tho samo nit;bt. Upon both of
tho above dates the United States courts here

tuoruiug of each day for. ordinary motion.
I was in attendance upon the courts during
their sittings, and did not leau thu city upon
either occasion until long after the courts
had adjourned. On October IS tho Uniti-d
States district court boan its session at Pittsburg
