From the New York Star.
Within the last three weeks a yreat
deal of stress has been laid on the
statement given out at Democratic
State and National headquarters that
the German vote was almost a unit
for Cleveland. La<t evening a gen-
tleman who stands high in the coun-
cils of the (iermau brewers and wine
and liquor dealers of the city and
State was interviewed by a Star re-
porter. He gives a version of the at-
titude of the German population po-
litically, which differs materially
from that which Mr. Oswald Otten-
dorfer, editor of the Staats-Zeitung,
has represented to tiie Democratic
managers.
"In the first place," he said, "Mr.
Ottendorfer speaks without authority,
even if it were true that the Germans
are for Cleveland, which is not the
fact, ilis newspaper has persistent-
ly suppressed the other side of the
question. Several of the smaller Ger-
i-'.an papers, which takes their cue
from him, have followed his example.
He has assumed to act as the spokes-
man of
THE GERMAN VOTERS.
while many thousands of them here
and elsewhere rarely read Ins paper,
and do not like it because it is one-
sided in pontics."'
'•What is the real position of the
German element in the city and State, |
in your opinion ?"
' My duties take me through the;
State a great deal, and here in llioj
city I come daily into contact with '
German* of influence, representing!
the beer biewing and wine and liquor j
interests. Our organization is a large |
one, and extends all over the State.1
Next week we hold a State souvun-,
tion, but it is not probable that any
action will be taken looking to a dec-
laration of support for any one can-
didate. I can say, however, that at
the present moment the vote of the
Germans is pretty evenly divided.
While a majority of those interested
in the beer, wine, aud liquor trade
are Democrats, many of them will
UNDOUBTEDLY VOTE FOR BLAINE
for President. As a people the Ger-
mans arc scrupulously conscientious,
aud in the matter ot choosing a Presi-
dent of this «rre '* Nation they will
effect the election of tins or that can-
didate will have 011 their business
interests. They are the best judges
of thatquestion thems'h vjs, and they
believe that, with lilaiuc or Cleve-
land elected, their interests would be
equally safe*"
"Has any action been taken by
either the beer brewers or the Ger-
mans as a class looking to the united
support of any special candidate?"
*vNo; 011 the contrary, they are, as
I have said, about evenly divided.
In local aud even in State affairs the
German votars generally act together.
This is impossible in a Presidential
election, where their course is affected
by a variety of issues, differing in al-
most every State. I have been as-
tonished in my trips aioud the city
aud its surburbs to litul a great many
leading German I) 1 ewers, large em-
ployers of labor, for Blaine,"
'•What is your opinion of the prob-
able result of the electiou in this
State
"Unless a great chatuje takes place
I believe that Blaine will, have a ma-
jority here. The anti-Blaine Repub-
licans are few and far between out-
side New York City. Of course I
know little about outside States, al-
though I think it more than probable
that if the Democrats are depending
on very large German accessions in
Ohio they will be disappointed.''

Thcrs is a bottle four of five inches

Some of them are set in beautiful
gold ornaments intended for personal
wear. Most of them have been in the
custody of the Treasury officials for
forty-five years. These were sent to <
President Van Buren in 188!)by the
imaun of Muscat, a country of Asia,
as a testimonial in recognition of some
service to that country by his admin-
istration. Just when it was nobody
appears to know. Van Buren could
not accept them or himself, although
it was the desire ot the donor tint ho
should do so, by [reason of the clause
in the constitution which forbids «ny
person connected with the govern-
ment accepting any present 01 de-
coration from any foreign power or
potentate.
To have returned them would have
been an insult to the royal giver, and
what to do with them was a question
that puzzled the presidential mind.!
