"Maybe this might stimulate his memory a bit,” he added. Judge Hamilton reached inside the breast pocket of his orat and produo od a sheaf of vouchers, some of wbloh bore the signature of the foremost men ln|fiuanoeof today, and stripped rdf a white receipt fnm such as the Republican national committee usee He smoothed out the bit of paper, gas*d at it with an amused smile, and spread It flit upon the table in bis \partment . "L >ok*ae 4f it was to tbiuk some mpre, does is i continued Mr. Hemlltcn.

When It wm first br ngbt to the attent on of The Herald, on Sunday, that Andrew Hamilton eald he held a voucher allowing that be had paid •76,000 to Mr Bliss, in addition to the 60,000 admitted by Mr. McCall to haue been paid to the oampslgu fund of tbe Republican party in 1896 Mr BUM asked oonoarnlng toe mat ter, and he denied all knowledge of si ci payment.

I do not know Andrew Hamilton, would not know him if 1 should see him. and never heard of him uniil recently.” In bis home, 189 Mtdlaon avenue, yesterday, the muter was again call ed to the attention of Mr. B11m.
