Governor Tilden says that John Hanson told him that he heard Web Wagner
say that Anna E. Dickinson told him that D.S. Decker heard that there was
no doubt that John McLaren said that S.T. Benedict thought Fred. Seward
had told Jim Johnson that Cushney had declared to John Fulton that it was
generally believed that Harry Hull said, in plain terms, that he heard Al
Berry say that his friend, Harriet Beecher Stowe, had said that Fred.
Hotchkiss informed her, at Delmonico's, that it was well known all over
the country that Fin Helwig had caught Jimmey Farthing in saying that in
his opinion it was a matter of fact, of great public interest, that Nate
Wells had said Fred. Howell told him that COHEN BROS. would receive, on
Thursday, Oct. 28th, the first invoice of LYNN HAVEN OYSTERS, never before
sold in Gloversville, and all for 35 cents a quart.
