yUOGE HILTON GIVES PLAIN STATEMENT OF HIS
REASONS FOR HIS COURSE.
The excitement aroused by the llilton-Sellg-
man controversy had almost entirely subsioed Yesterday
Oer topics preceded iniporiance and those persons
who s converscd abont IL talked with cain ness 'ldi-
eatiye of n very different feeling fIom that which had
prev fled two days before. The statement that pledge
was in circulation among the clothing merchants not TO
trade longer with A. r. Stewart Co. proved yesterday

proposal had been made and ~ FL st favorahy recev a.
Mr. Elfct OF the rm of Elfct Lew CO., who had heen

as the most eectual OF giving forcbc expression
to ;heir resentment at Judge Hilton's attack Upon
further reflection. however, it was determined to
abandon the idea inasmuch suon pledge
might lead unjust and undesirable reflections
upon those who signed II well as upon
those who did not. However. II was personally
known TO him that many large houses had withdrawn
their account with A. T. Stewart Co, and he HAD II"
doubt IN fact he had every reason for believing that
many Others would follow this example, not only IN tins
