ACONVERSATION.

Passing down TO our office two or three
days ago, we came to couple Of friends
near Market street, one Wing, and the
other Democrat, who were in conversa-
ton. As we came up, the following col
oquy took place
Whig-You are a man Of too much
sense and candor, surely, to claim Mr..
Polk as a friend and advocate of pro.
tective Tariff
Dem. Certainly not.
Whig-But your papers are endeavor
ing to persuade the people that he is as
good Tariff man as MIR. Clay
Dem.-I know il, but not with my ap-
probation.-I have told our friends that
honesty was the best policy, and that we
could not. and ought not to pretend that
Polk is Tariff man, for we knoio to the
contrary and the people will find out
that be is not, and will then accuse US Of
dishonesty.
Whig.-I am glad to hear you speak
so candidIy. 1t is impossible to keep the
oeople in ignorance of Mr.. Folks real
opinions long. and what must they think
Of those who go deliberately TO work to
deceive them, by downright falsehood, as
seriing what they knou TO be untrue ?
If Dir. Polk is opposed to the protective
system, as he has again and again de-
cIared, and as we know he is, let him stand
I'D to his opinions like a man. Ifhe has
not the honesty and boIdness to do this. he
is certainly not fit to be President.
Dem.-l shall not fail out with you on
that point, for l agree with you exsctly.
The Democrat is personal friend OF
ours, aud as all can judge by his remarks
. fair, honest. candid man--wrong in his
political views, according to our notions
bu, generally. right upon all other matters.

We hereby certify that we were present at
Mr.. Tyler Stickney's in the town of Shore
ham about the 5th day of October 1e43, in
company with Mr.. Solomon w. Jewett.
Said Jewett asked said Stickney the usual
weight Of the ewes fleece when in her full
prime. Mr.. Stickney's reply was, that she
sheared seven pounds and some onnces, the
exact number of ounces we could not certain
ly testify to, but we know it to be between
seven and eight pounds Of wool, the eve we
have reference to was the one Mr.. Stickney
said was the mother of said 5. w. Jewett's
buck Fortune. NATHAN HARDY.

Mr.. S. W. JetceH:
Sir,-I well recollect Of being present
with you at Mr.. Tyler Stickney's in Shore
ham on or about the the 5;h day of October
1912 and Mr.. Stickney in speaking of the
eve which he said was the mother Of your
buck Fortune, made this statement, that the
usual weight of her fleece when in her prime
was something over seven pounds each year.

In view of the foregoing facts submit &c
the public whether Mr. S:ickney's charges
Of deception untruth and misstatements"
were not too hastily and to say the least some
what ungenerously made. But make many
allowances for Mr.. Stickney in the matter,
because believe he has been pushed for

GREAT WING CONvENTION-Io-
900 WINGS AT STEUBENvILLE.

We were, much TO our regret, unable to
attend the Wing Convention at Steuben-
vile, but hear from our delegates the
most enliveniDg accounts Of that great
meeting of the people in council. All
with whom we have conversed say not
less than 10000 persons could have been
there. Between 300 and 400 went from
this city. The Wheeling delegation was
very large, and came up in four steam
boats. They had about three hundred
banners and transpnecies. The Wings
of Steubenville, every man Of them, had
the latch string out, and all were accom-
modated with comfort. A gentleman who
attended the Wing and Loco oco Con-
veution in that place in 1910 is confident
that this was equal to both in numbers,
