His
Spee
2ecli to the Missis
sippi legislators.
THE PEOBLEM OF COLOE
Touched ITp Lightly, While States
Eights Is Expatiated Upon.
EVERY DISASTER IN THE COUNTRY
laid to the Doors of Republican Constitu
tional Tiolations.
DEMOCRATS NEED KO MUGWUMP AID
Jackson, Miss., March 15. The train
bearing Senator Hill and party made its
first stop this morning at Meridian, Miss.
In response to the address of welcome the
Senator spoke, in part, as follows:
The Democratic party what shall I say
of itT In victory or defeat it has steadfastly
maintained, the rights or the people. It is a
friend of the poor. It has w elcomed them
from every clime and every country. Ap
plause. It is the party that has maintained
the rights of the naturalized citizen. Re
newed applause. It is the party that
believes in home rule, in the rights of the
States, in popular sovereignty, in civil
liberty, in the rights of habeas corpus, the
freedom of the press and trial by jury.
Applause. Such a party was not born to
die. Defeat after defeat it has met, but it
has risen from the disaster stronger than
ever.
We are on the eve of a great contest this
falL This gathering, tho gatherings w hich
we witnessed yesterday from the time we
left Washington up to this hour, show the
interest the people are taking in political
subjects. Applause. It shows that the
reign of the Republican party is rapidly
drawing to a close. Cheers.
A Blow at the Billion Congress.
The last Congress you know what it is
called, the "billion dollar Congress" will
go down to history as the Congress that
squandered the people's money. Applause.
You know what the Democratic position is.
It can be stated in a word: The place for
surplus taxes is in tho pockets of the people,
not in Jhe Federal Treasurj-. Cheers. We
believe in an honest, economical adminis
tration of nubile affairs. Our creed is so
plain that the humblest citizen and the
most unlettered can understand it. We be
lieve that no more money should be raised
for the General Government than is abso
lutely lcquiied for its administration. Ap
plause. It is the true Democratic doctrine.
This is common sense. This position is in
the interests of the people.
We don't believe that the Government
should buildup private interests at the ex
pense of the many. Applause. We do not
believe that the gi eat masses of the neople
should be taxed lor the benefit of the "few.
The sisns are bright for victory. United
we can win: dividod we shall be defeated. I
make a plea for union and harmony here in
Meridian and all over this great State of
Mississippi. Let those who agree with us on
these elementary principles of Democracy
to wliicli I have lefened, unite tosether,
make one strong pnll, and wo will drive the
intrenched enemy Irom power. Cheers.
The Arrival at the State Capital.
At Jackson, the first objective point ot
Mr. Hill's journey, an immense crowd was
assembled, and Governor Stone met the
Senator and welcomed him to the State
amid the cheers of 5,000 Mississippians.
Senator Hill became the guest of Governor
Stone durimr his stay in the city.
At 2 o'clock the Legislature met in joint
session. Uhe galleries and lobbies were
crowded to the utmost, and loud cheers
greeted the appearance of the guest of
Mississippi as Senator Hill entered the
hall in company with Governor Stone. To
the Governor of the State was assiened the
honor of introducing Senator Hill to the
joint assemblasre. Mr. Hill responded sub
stantially as follows:
I am tempted to remark that from this
vast crowd present to-day, Mr. Heed, who
was once Speaker of the House or Repre
sentatives, hut is not now applause, would
have no difficulty in counting a quorum of
the Legislature. The Old World has had its
cordial embassies from sovereign state to
sovereign state. In this Xeiv World, where
the people rule, shall w e not brighten every
tie that links our democratic dominions,
principalities and powers in the bonded
sovereignty of an imperishable Union? I
will trust your white-haiied veterans, famil
iar with "public caies. I will trust the
youngest man, who treads for the flrst time
these halls, burning to hurl his heart into
the service of the State.
The Whole Democratic Doctrine.
The ground upon which the Democrats of
the State of Xew York have taken their
stand is the whole Democratic faith and
tradition not some corner of it merely, not
some splinter of it merely but tho whole.
This is the groundupon which I would fain
see the Democrats of tho State of Missis
sippi, with all Democrats of the Xorth,
South, East and West, both of the regular
organization and the farmers' Alliance,
unite in their stand in the approaching
election. Applause.
Other duties for another day: for, like the
victory ot Jefferson and Union, this victory
n ill close a chapter of history, will doom to
final disintegration a degraded party, and
will fix the direction of our political
progress for some decades in the century to
come. Xow, as then, political principles de
pend for their triumph upon parties. It is
the Democratic principle which has created
the Democratic paity. In its union is
found a greater stiength than all its ene
mies combined can ever finally subvert.
Anplause. Itsuivivei. every disaster. It
is the great and most efficient organ of the
people'1- power.
The Democratic party is stronger than any
manor set of men. .Vo man is every indis
pcnEabl to its success renewed applause
for its strength is with the people. It is
greater and more powerful than any class,
however numerous. Therefore, it is large,
tolerant, liberal, piogressive. It invites to
its membershln, to its control, all who will
uphold the whole Democratic faith and
tradition and apply them to the people's
needs.
He Pkims Over The Raco Problem.
The government and social adaptations of
any group of men as civilized as we must
vary with location on tho earth's surface to
secure that end and aim progressive indi
vidual freedom in the pursuit of happiness.
Government help too often entails Govern
ment compulsion, and implies a lower stage
of growth or less felicity of circumstance
than ours. Applause. Every intermixture
of men less civilized than we complicates
the matter. Any difference m environment,
whether a difference in races ol men or
regions of the earth, implies changes in the
adaptation.
Fancy little Rhode Island lifted up, car
ried half way round the globe and diopped
don n in Mongolia, with Russia to westward
and all China to eastnaid. Would Roger
Williams' patent. King Chailes' ohaiter.
Governor Doi us' constitution or her present
Constitution do at all? I suppose that
neither James Madiscn nor Abraham Lin
coln would think the Constitution of the
United States a perfect fit for a new Repub
lic of the Island of Madagascar, comprising
lust the present white population of Ver
mont nnd the present colored population of
Louisiana. ,.,..
What disturbance did the Immigration or
a Jew thousand Chinese cause to our Pacific
coast States? What treaties and laws have
we not yielded to their special solicitude, o
that our peace with that most ancient and
hoduIous empire may depend on taking
back our own Christian missionaries in ex
change for these disciples of Conlucius? All
this that the Pacific States may have their
rightful will as to propiniquity with certain
Asiatics.
Color Eliminated From tho Constitution,
The South, In its propiniquity with the
Africans, whose type ot civilization awaits
historic record, has caused the only alterna
tion thus far made in our Governmental
structure. For'tbe compiomises at first em
bodied or concerted in its frame, there are
now substitutes in the last three amend
ments. The substance of these amen dments
is that neither color nor color status is
F
HERN
A
visible to tho eye of Federal liw. or ever
shall be visible.
Now, I do not come here to disouts this
one change in our governmental structure.
, What I shall seek to fix attention upon is
j absence or any other lawful change, the
I standing marvel of cotemporary history.
jicib is iue constitution onue umieuauiKD,
a Govermental structure, contrived to unify
in peace what has been lately called a group
or co-operative land companies strung along
the Atlantic border, which had beenassisted
to obtain separation from the jparent em
pire by war. Here, now, after a century or
storm and stress, is that same fabric almost
seamless, wholly unruptured. It has sufficed
without important change to house the In
dustries and liberties of the teeming,
thronging millions on millions who here
have lived, or who here survive and consti
tute to-day our stupendous continental re
public or republics between the Atlantic
and the Paciflo sea. Applause. I say It Is
the standing marvel in the history of civili
zed man.
Now, I think we shall find that the ob
jects or our Constitution, the spirit of it and
the letter of it explain that enormous
miracle ot its equal adjustment to our past,
our present and our future. The powers
which it grants are few and specified.
The Doctrine of State Bights.
It concentrates and centralizes those few
as it needs most. But, alter proniDinng
many powers to the States, it explicitly dis
tributes the whole residue of powers not
thus delegated to the United States nor thns
prohibited to the several States, as reserved
to the States respectively or to the people.
Nor Is this enough. The power of Con
gress to make laws for carrying nto execu
tion these powers vested in the Government
of the United States is again explicitly re
stricted to such as shall be necessarily and
properly executory- There is no limitation
of government by a written constitution
possible among men if this be not sufficient
written limitation. There Is no sound con
sti iiction possible, except it be a strict con
struction. Nothing to the Federal Govern
ment except granted powers; nothing which
can be better done by State governments
and more jealously watched; nothing to the
State governments which can be better done
by municipal, by county, by neighboring
Governments, and more jealously watched,
and even to these neighboring govern
ments nothing which can better be reserved
to the people. '
It is not any legalized excursions by Con
gress outside the Constitution, which ex
plains why we still live and move and have
our being beneath its aegis. It is in despite
ot transgressions, not by the help or them,
that we still live. Wo have not profited by
them, we have survived them. It Is Indi
vidual freedom, not Republican forcible,
nor Congressional leading strings that will
enable you, the strong and highly civilized
race, to guide forward your less girted tel-low-citizens.
Sectional Taffy for the South.
The late Republican Congress tried to put
manacles on Southern limbs. The Demo
cratic party answeied, "Shall Northern
limbs, then, wear the like, or are we all free
men now?" Never, beneath this canopy of
our surviving Constitution a Constitution
color blind and eanal laws, will the Democ
acy of the great North and the greater West
confound and confuse your present social
pronlemwith past and gone political prob
lems. , .
It shocks the historicsense to witness that
vpcoTit. fnroinirnf force bill chains. Garri
son .should be alive to tell the Harrisons
that slaverv Is dead, even white slavery.
Brvant or Wordsworth should be alive to
pour forth in lofty verse, the deep respect
ful sympathy with which the nobler hearts
among your kindred race now follow your
exceeding trial. How otherwise among
equal States should considerate and equal
free men speak?
Shall we now go on together and try to
live up to this Constitution of ours, which
survives unimpaired in substance and su
preme in authoiity? Shall we recur to the
whole Democratic faith and tradition and
re-establish Its supremacy in our politics
nnd law? Shall New Yoik not stand by
Mississippi? Applause. Will Mississippi
not sma oy jsew xoriii iaujuuc.j vm
Federal Constitution, unimpaired in sub
stance, admirable in purpose, clear In letter
and prescription, is supreme in ligunui au
thority! Every Calamity Laid to the Republicans.
I submit to your candid judgment that
every trouble, every disturbance that ex
ists, every disaster that Impends and every
danger that Is feared at this time through
out our whole land.not merely in some parts
of it, is the direct and obvious consequence
of Republican legislation in disi egard of the
spirit oi tne letter oi our uusliiuliuu.
Every disorder in our finance, every injus
tice In our taxation, is not only the conse
quence, direct and obvious, of Republican
legislation, but or legislation so plainly out-,
side the Constitution, so plainly dlsregard
fnlor its inhibitions and limitations, that
not one statesman or any partyiprior to li60
ever dreamed of advocating such trans
gressions. That is not all, nor the worst. Three years
aso the Democratic party experienced a dis
astrous overthrow and lost the House of
Representatives, which till then It had con
trolled for years.
What did the Republicans do with their
unhindered power? Did they repeal one of
those unconstitutional laws for which they
had been pleading the false excuse of war,
Its burdens, its necessities? Let our worse-than-war
tariff taxation reply. Let the dis
orders of our currency make answer. No:
they first cheated more power into their
own hands and then doubled its prostitu
tion. Applause.
A Blast at Tom Heed."
Their Speaker in tho House, by violent and
unparliamentary procedures, distended
the actually small to a fraudulently largo
majority, all of whom followed him with
dog-like docility. Laughter.
In the Senate six new Republican Senators
were seated to represent a smaller popu
lation than their census left unacounted
In the City of New York, and one State was
ueirauaeu oi its .Democratic cnoice. xneir
object was, not only to enact more and
worse unconstitutional legislation, but also
to put that legislation bevond the people's
amendments or repeal. This they did, and
their occupation within those Intrench
ments, and the occupation of the whole Re
publican and Mugwump press, has ever
since been to plant political discussion on
preferred bills which their President would
veto and their Senate won't pass. I regret
that some unwary Democrats in tho pres
and in Congress thus lender dally assistance
in taking off public attention from the un
surpassable monstrosities of their living,
laws, and assist the Republican party In
hiding the scope of that revolution it pur
sues. To call Republican taxation unconstitu
tional is like calling highway robbery a fault
of conduct, and flat but glary an indecorum.
Laughter and applause. But I seek to make
it clear that to repeal the McKinley laws Is
merely to take a fli st step toward living up
to our unimpaired authoritative Constitu
tion. Rpspects Paid to the Sherman Law.
Against the united Democratio votes the
Republican Congress also passed the Sher
man silver law.lnto which every Republican
monetary heresy is crowded that has kept
our finance In perpetnal disorder for 30
years. And while Sherman's silver law
is draining off our gold to Europe in a steady
stream and driving ns headlong to an exclu
sive silver basis, not one Republican lawyer,
not one Republican merchant or Board of
Trade or Chamber of Commerce In all tho
North has raised against that law the de
mand that we repeal it, reviving the less
bad law which it superseded, but that would
be a first step towaid living up fo the Consti
tution. We need no help from Republican parti
sans in the next November election, if the
good people of the United States w ill mako
alliance with one another and the Demo
cratic party. By unity and concord in our
ranks mow wo can surely triumph. Unity
will endow with needful power the great
Democratic party to-dav, the sole efficient
instrument of reform. Unity will enable it
to call a halt in the growth and spread of
giinding monopolies. Unity will enable it
to restore the sound, sale, sufficient money
of our lathers wheneverydollarwasasgood
as the gold dollar.
Let us once more unite and once more
defeat the Republican partvnextNovember,
and its dereat will be its death. It will dis
integrate, dissolve and perish. The reign of
autocrats and plutocrats will be over and
again we shall awake from this long
darkness and Its foul dreams to sunrise,
morning, and a new life.
At the conclusion of the speech, of which
the above is an abridgement, resolutions in
praise of the speaker and bidding him God
speed, passed with a hurrah.
FAVOBIlfa THE MOTHER COUNTBY.
Canadian Statesmen Talking of a Prefer
ential Tnsitt on Imports.
Ottawa, Ont., March 15. The feeling
is gaining ground that the government is
thinking seriously of a preferential tariff in
lavor ot Great Britain. There is a coterie,
within the Conservative party entirely fav
orable to the project, but many Ministerial
ists are undecided.
It is stated that if a step In the direction
of discrimination is made it may take the
iorm ot an ofler to receive goods at a rate of
duty lower than that already prevailing to
such countries as take Canadian, produce
free, or a rate that is approved by the Gov
ernor in Council.
GREAT DAT FOR DOGS.
The Show ' Opens in Pittsburg in a
Host Auspicious Manner.
A MANY-KEYED BARKING CONCERT
Canines Who Were Particular Favorites
of the Fair Ones.-
SOME SURPEISES IN THE. JUDGING
Yesterday the Auditorium was the scene
of a concert of another sort to that given by
Patti a week ago. It was incidental lo the'
dog show, "and not even billed as an attract
ion, and the music, from a dog's point of
view, truer to nature than to any high
standard ot artistic excellence. Among the
principal performers present might be men
tioned the dog with the soprano bark and
Messrs. Dogs -having contralto, base, tenor
barytone and the numerous shades of barks
to be found in that world where dogs move,
live and have their being.
There were to be heard angry barks,
pleased barks, hungry barks, well filled
barks, long barks, short barks and barks of
all sizes, conditions and sexes. At times
there seemed to be more barks than dogs.
This, however, is caused by a tout ensemble
effect on the imagination, sinoe logically
the inference is that each bark, as in the
case of a tail, presupposes a dog some
where. Moreover, harks and dogs appear
in the inverse ratio to each other. The
smaller the dog;the bigger the bark.
Does That Were Dignified.
Therefore the burden of the concert was
borne by the spaniels, pugs, terriers and
the English and Irish setters. As for the
Giving Pet ths Finishing Touches.
mastiffs, St Bernards and Newfoundlands,
they contented themselves occasionally by
carrying on a theme solus, after which
came the host of barks in accompaniment
like the "sound of a great 'Amen.' "
The big dogs lay at full length, with .head
down, as though they knew that nothing
served better to display their magnificent
proportions. Again you found that the
fellow who possessed "any particular grace
of head poise never forgot for a moment to
attract attention to it. No woman ever
was prouder of a noble" throat than
were some of the St. Bernards. Sev
eral of the Newfoundlands were
just as certain that their coats were
their glory, as ever St. Paul was that the
same could be said of a woman's hair. The
spaaiels having ears to show, showed them.
The ugly bull dogs, with their knotted-up
faces, seemed to realize their point of
beauty, and almost looked as if an addi
tional pout had joined the congregation al
readv on their countenances.
The Italian greyhound put on another
shiver, ana appeared more than ever to be
galloping into a decline. More hairs than
usual were in the Scotch terriers' eyes.
Thus every dog did his- trick, and if he pos
sessed 19 tricks, these 19 tricks, were vari
ously laid before the public.
Favorites of the Fair Ones.
An odd feature in the show was the sight
of the men crowded about the pet dogs. It
was equally strange to discover that scarce
ly a St. Bernard or a mastiff could be ap
proached for the ladies who surrounded
them. For the time being it was a com
plete reversal of the natural order of affairs.
The pugs, King Charles spaniels and
poodles were dosed with masculine admira
tion, the women in the meantime evincing
their love of the big brethren by stroking
them timidly on the head. This was as near
an attempt to putting arms about them as
female timidity permits. The dogs seemed
to enjoy the change in adorers.
The judging at the show furnished some
surprises. The greatest were the awards in
the challege class of the English and also
Irish setters. In the first named Count
Howard was given first over Edgemark,
Ain't He a Beauty?
which has been winning in the East. Dick
Swiveller, the Irish setter owned by "W. L.

ing promptly at 9:30. The results of yester
day, no doubt, give surprises, and there
may be more to-day. There was more ex
citement last evening about the decisions
than there lias been in this vicinity for a
long time regarding a dog show.
F0BMING A BIBB0N IBTJST.
The New Organization to Have a Capital
Stock or $30,000,000.
New Yokk, March 15. A trust includ
ing the leading ribbon manufacturers of the
country is being organized and it is the in
tention to start it out on the basis of a cap
ital of 520,000,000. Most of the ribbon
manufacturers in the United States are in
the East, the majority being in this city and
its immediate vicinity, and the movement
originated here. It is believed that by
combining forces goods can be manufactured
at a smaller cost, because there will be a
saving in expense for advertising, traveling
salesmen, and designing. Competition will
be abolished by the trust, and the manu
facturers will have no difficulty in maintain
ing prices.
A meeting will be held next Saturday, at
the offices of Guggenheimer & Untermeyer,
to formulate plans. Circulars have been
sent out urging this combination and show
ing the advantages to manutacturers oi such
a union. The' plan in the circular is similar
to that in the cigarette trust, and the manu
facturers will receive stocks and bonds for
the amount of their property. It is under
stood that while a number of large manu
facturers favor the plan, some firms whose
influence would be needed are hesitating
about going into any such scheme.
SHEEMAH'S DIVIDED THOUGHTS
Canada Does Not Understand His Remarks
on the Sealing Question.
Montreal, March 15. The Montreal
Oazdte, the official organ of the Dominion
Government, in an inspired article says :
The early portion or Senator Sherman's
remarks on the situation of the Bering Sea
question is all that could bo desired. Tho
tone of friendliness (which we are glad to
acknowledge is no new thing with him) In
which he speaks of the relations that ought
to prevail between the United States and
the motherland, does honor to his patriot
ism. But the Senator soon swerves from tho
line or good will and impartiality and takes
things for granted in .an astonishing way
when he talks of preventing 'poaching on
rights that were purchased trom Russia and
which the United States have openly as
serted and enjoyed for 100 years.' We are nt
a loss to know what this means. It is only
25 years since the bargain was concluded, by
Secretary Sewaid. It is only eight years
since what is meant by the word 'poaching'
was taken anv notice of by the United
States authorities and as lor purchased
rights, those so-called rights, while unpur
chased, weie disavowed as such Dy success
ive Washington administrations.

talk of the town, business being almost
suspended, and great crowds packing the
streets in the vicinity of the crime. Wal
ter A. Snyder is the confidential clerk in J.
M. Naylor & Co.'s hardware store, and one
of the most popular and wealthy young
men of this little city. At 8 o'clock this
morning, while engaged in a friendly con
versation in the store with two of his em
ployers, Edward T. Navlor and Burton W.'
Crowbaugh, without a word of warning, he
suddenly drew a large revolver from his
hip pocket and began firing at them. Two
balls passed through Naylor's body and
Crowbaugh was struck in the back.
Hearing the shooting, Thomas "W. Dow
ney, a fellow clerk, attempted to save his
employers by interfering, when Snyder
turned on him and shot Downey three
times. People came running in from all
directions, as the scene of tht tragedy is on
the principal street of the city, but before
anyone could lay hands on the murderer he
ran upstairs and shot himself through the
heart, dying instantly.
Many Things Caused the Tronble.
E. T. Naylor, a half brother of the pro
prietor, Crowbaugh and Snyder have been
employed in the store for years, and have
been like brothers. A short time ago the
senior Mr. Naylor announced his inten
tion to retire from business, and a change
of the firm .would be necessary. Although
Snyder, the murderer and "suicide, was
worth 520,000, it was tied up in real estate
in such a manner that he could not get at
it, and this so preyed on his mind that it
produced temporary insanity. Snyder had
been troubled for the past two weeks with
grip, also, and the worry and disease made
him a mad man, no doubt
The parties are all well and favorably
known,and the affair has created a profound
sensation in Northern Ohio. "Within five
minutes the story of the tragedy had spread
all oyer the city and the crowd became so
dense in front of tlie door, which is located
in the principal business portion of the
city, that It was necessary for the police to
clear the street Physicians were hurriedly
summoned and' the wounded men given
every attention.
Snyder died instantly, and his imperfect
i aim may possibly save the lives of his in
tended victims, though there is little hope
for Downey, whose injuries are supposed to
be of a fatal nature.
AH the Men Prominent.
Few men in Tiffin enjoyed the pnblic con
fidence more than those implicated in the
tragedy. Snyder, the cause of the sad af
fair, was verjr popular," though occupying a
clerical position. Ever since the Forty
ninth Regiment, of which he was a member,
was mustered out at the close of the late
war, he had been successful in his invest
ments and accumulated a competency.
Crowbaugh and Naylor stand high in busi
ness, social and political circles, and
Downey is highly esteemed by all. All
save Snyder are men of families. Naylor
was also a soldier in 'the late war, being a
member of the famous Eighth Ohio Eegi
ment Business in the city is paralyzed, and the
scene of the "bloody deed is still surrounded
by hundreds of citizlns all anxious to learn
the details of the tragedy. For years Sny
der has regarded himself as the heir of an
aunt, Mrs. Eva Weeks, who owns a. 530,000
plantation at Surrounded Hills, Ark.
Lately Mrs. Weeks, who is 66 years old,
was married secretly, and this also worried
Snyder. About 30 minutes before commit
ting the crime it is learned that the horui
cide'took three large drinks of whisky.
To-night all the victims of the shooting
are alive, but Downey is rapidly sinking.
He is shot through the head, the arm, and
one ball is lodged in his side. Doctors say
he will die beiore daylight. Crowbaugh is
worse injured than at first supposed. The
ball entered his right side, but cannot be
located. Naylor is resting easy and may
recover.
SENAT0B MOBBILL'8 GBIC.
Be Insists That Be Will Be Able to Make
Bis Own Speeches.
Washington-, March 15. Special.
Senator Morrill, although generally sup
posed to be at the point of death, has no
idea himself of quitting at present the
earthly scenes upon which his eyes have
looked for 82 years. He does not even pro
pose just yet to put aside the Congressional
duties which for the past 36 years have oc
cnpiedihim. Yesterday he said he must see
Senator Frye. "Impossible," said the medi
cine men. "Gentlemen," answered the aged
Senator, "while I live I shall be the master
of my own honse. I shall have Senator
Frye sent for, and when he comes I shall see
him."
Senator Frye soon came, and Senator
Morrill gave him the heads ot a speech
which he wished the Senator to make tor
him in opposition to the West Virginia
bond tax bill now befoie the Senate. Sena
tor Morrill this morning sent tor his barber
and when his toilet had been attended to he
again called for Senator .Frye, to say that
he felt so much better that he would make
the speech for himself some day in the near
future,.
TELLEB ON FEEE SILVER,
Be Says Bis Blghness, President Harrison,
Will Teto the Measure.
Hot Springs, Ark., March 15. United
States Senator Henry M. Teller is a the
city on important legal business. He was
seen at the -Park House by a reporter, and
discussed political and legislative questions
freely. On the silver question he said: "I
believe the Senate, as well as the House,
will pass the silver bill, but of
course 'His Highness,' President Harrison,
will veto it, and I don't think the measure
can be passed over his veto. " As to the
Presidental race, he said: "I am not a
Harrison man, and cannot say who I am
for, unless it is a silver man. Mr. Blaine
is friendly to silver, but he is not in the
race."
The Senator to-day appeared as counsel
for the Smuggler Mining Company of Col
orado, and argued betore United States
Judge H. C. Calwell, in Chambers, an ap
plication for a writ of injunction to prevent
the latter from working certain disputed
territory.

' PARTY LEADERS.

the Probable Republican Nominee Mc
Kinley Strong and Will Be President
Some Day Good Points of Uncle Jerry.
Ashkvtlle, N. C., March 15. Hon.
James Clarkson, Chairman of the Bepub
lican National Committee, who came to
Asheville four weeks ago to arrest a siege
of inflammatory rheumatism, came too late,
and has had a severe and painful attack of
it Mrs. Clarkson and a part of his family
are with him. To-day a reporter called on
Mr. Clarkson and asked him if the reports
that he is a candidate for' the Presidency
are true. He replied:
"Of course, there is no foundation what
ever for such reports. My answer to all in
quiries and kindly proflers of help on this
subject has been constantly no. I have
never heard, that bee sing, and its music is
not enchanting to me. Besides, I am not
wanted for the place, and I have sense
enough to know it Of course, lam grate
ful to the good triends in the various States
who have thought otherwise, but this is the
truth."
"Who is your preference for the Repub
lican nomination?"
"I have not taken sides in the matter,
and as Chairman ot the National Committee.
I could not properly do so. Find a man
most sure to heal and unite and inspire the
party in New York, Indiana, Wisconsin and
other doubtful States, and the man who will
draw enough Republican farmers back from
the Alliance, to make Nebraska, Kansas,
Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin surely Re
publican. In spch a situation the view of
Republicans of such doubtful yet necessary
States ought to be deferred to very largely."
"Do veu think there will be several can
didates'balloted for?"
"It looks so. Alger, Cnllom and Blair
are proclaimed candidates. Manderson is
likely to be. There is a strong undertone
or popular movement toward Uncle Jerry
Rusk, and one of gathering power for Gov
ernor McKinley."
"Is it not too early for McKinley, so soon
after the passage of his bill?"
"No, there is nothing in that. The Re
publican party is responsible lor the bill,
and the author would only add honor to it.
McKinley is one of half a dozen men given
to the nation in the century. He is strong and
splendid in everything that Americans
most admire, and he will be President
some day. TJncle Jerry Rusk, in whose
life there has been much that touches with
sympathy the millions of American homes
that are acquainted with struggles and
hardships, would make a strong and popu
lar candidate; but the party will do the
right thing at Minneapolis.
"Blaine could be nominated and could he
elected beyond a doubt if he would take it,
and he is onr only certain sure winner.
President Harrison has added to the glory
of the "country and party both.
He has grown steadily in public es
timation, and in the last year rapidly
in party estimation. It ie not unlikely, and,
indeed probable, that he may be chosen
again. If the party is leit free to'make up
its mind and flo effort is made which will
change the dignity of his position,
or put him in the light of
scrambling for a renominating the final
judgment at Minneapolis is most likely to
be in his favor; but he is showing his own
breadth and political wisdom in holding
that the party should, meantime, review
the field completely, discuss all available
men irankly, and then decide with some
thing like unanimity of party opinion and
desire." '

ODTlated A Receivership Postponed
for One Road for a Week.
, New Yokk, March 15. iffpeddU At a
meeting to-day of the directors of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railway
Company W. G. Oakman was elected a
director in place of C. M. McGhee and
Chairman of the board in place of
Samuel Thomas. It was expected that
Mr. Oakman would take the place of S.
M. Felton in the board, but a telegram sent
Mr. Felton, who was thought to be in Cin
cinnati, did not reach him. Mr. McGhee
resigned in order to create the necessary
vacancy. His resignation is understood to
be a temporary expedient, and he will re
turn to the board in place of Mr. Felton,
who will resign.
At a meeting of the directors of the Rich
mond Terminal Company to-day, no changes
were made in the officials of the company
and the meeting adjourned nntil to-morrow
afternoon. It had been confidently ex
pected that the election of Mr. Oakman to
the presidency in place of John H. Inman
would take place at this meeting, hut an
unlooked-for difference was presented.
Mr. Inman asked that the meeting
adjourn without action, giving as a reason
the fact that he had been requested to hold
over for a day longer by representatives of
the banking houses that had placed the
Georgia Central loan by 'which funds had
been provided to pay off the floating debt
of that road, and that he had consented to
the delay.
Those familiar with the re-organization
scheme said that it would have been given
out at the adjournment of this meeting. It
is withheld now until the contemplated
changes in officers shall have been accom
plished, that the complete programme may
be made public at a single announcement
In the matter of the application for a per
manent receiver for the Georgia Central
Railroad the Georgia court has postponed
the hearing until March 24.
INDIANS ON THE WABPATH.
Mexican Redskins Committing All Kinds
of Depredations.
Guaymas, Mex, March 15. ISpecldW
The Gagulis Indians are again on the war
path, and are committing many depreda
tions in the country adjoining their moun
tainous stronghold, terrorizing the unpro
tected citizens. One of their recent acts of
lawlessness and bloodshead was the attacking
of a party of Mexican wood-choppers, near
Ortiz, in which two of the latter were
killed.
They also burned two bridges on tho
Sonora Railroad, near Ortiz, and three days
ago made an attack on the inhabitants of
Bonaneita village, killing several men and
women and children, and burning to the
ground all the buildings in the place. The
white settlers of this section have called
upon the Government for protection.
