Committee at Concord, n. H., last
night, preliminary to the State Con-
~vention to-day. manifested that there
was a formidable President Hayes ele-
mont in the party. Strong feeling
against Chandler was expressed
by delegates, while it was claimed by
Chambers friends that there had been
sn organized effort to crush him. Sc
eret meetings had been held for the
purpose and various prominent men
drawn into it,. At the meeting a
speech was made by ex-United States
Senator Patterson, who, though in
dorsing the President, doubted the adj
visibility of introducing the matter
into the convention, as there was a
disagreement upon it. Speeches adj
vocating either a conciliatory policy or
positive Endorsement of Hayes were
made by General Stevens, Major T..
w. Fair, o. G.. Moore and others. A.
III. Tuck and Mason w. Tappin Sc
verely attacked NJ. T.. Chandler, who
is a delegate. Chandler spoke at
length, criticising the action of the
President. He spoke of attacks made
upon him by two naval officers-Har-
riman and Tuck-and intimated GER
tain Irregularities on the part of Tuck
while in Office, Tuck replied by call
ing Chandler a political tramp, and
charged him with dishonorable con.
duct as a lobbyist. Moore and Tap
pin then spoke, the latter rejecting
quite severely on Chandler. Major
Fair made the closing speech, and in
speaking of the Southern policy SAID
he was willing to shake hands with
the man who shot a bullet through
his arm. b. f. Prescott was nominal
ed for Governor by reclamation.
a Pennsylvania Coal Mine on Fire
senator Jones Interviewed by n
Herald, Reporter ON the Sill
yer Question.
NEW YORK, Jan. 8.
A fire is reported raging in the shaft
of the Pennsylvania Coal Company's
mine, near Wilkesbarre.
A Herald Washington correspond
ent interviewed Jones on the silver
question. The latter said that industry,
business and prices have been SO de
pressed by the pressure of expanding
population against the shrinking of the
volume of money, that it must be a
long time, if ever, before the remone
tization of silver, with Unrestricted
coinage, could do anything further
than arrest the decline. 1t would be a
great point gained if it could be made
to serve as a breakwater against the
tidal wave of bankruptcy that Is now
sweeping over the country. There is
not enough of silver in sight to cause
any appreciable advance in prices.
There may, however, be enough, if
coinage is left free, TO render real estate
actually salable at the prices at which
it is now nominally rated. In other
words, the patient is now so Ok hausted
that for the present slimulants only
can keep him alive. The recovery of
the full tone of health and vigor must
come later.

Vice President of the Security Insur-

Striking ShOemakers.
BosToN, Jan. g..
The strike of the Crispins, at Lynn,
is extending. A large force of police
was necessary yesterday to protect the
non-unionists from assault. Several of
the mob were arrested. Manutactur-
ers declare that the action of the Board
of Arbitration, in ordering the strike at
Doaks IL Co.'s shops, was arbitrary
and unjust.
