WILSON AND HUTCHINSON AT
NEW CUMBERLAND.

4 WILSON AND HUTChlNooN ~
NEW CUMBERLAND,
HurcarSsoS and the hssligs"es' are
determined that he shall have, on pa
| Der, whatever glory he failed to get on
J the stump in his meeting With Colonel
WILSON at New Cumberland.
For downright Justification, the lHteCi-
~0eacsr's report of that discussion was
even in advance OF that journals habit
ual exaggeratiOns.
We refer to the special forwarded to 1t
Yesterday. But in addition to this, we
are informed that HUTCHINSON retained
the IntsQigeacer reporter at New Cum
berlsnd, slept with him, ii they slept at
all, in order to prepare Tor publication,
not a report OF the speech HUTCHINSON
did make, but such a speech as he de-
sires to 20 to the public.
As far as the meeting itself was con-
| cernel, it was a grand affair and reflect
ed great credit upon the good people oil
New Cumberland.
Col. WILSON was a little hOarse, but
hes not made y better impression, We
| venture 20 say, during the campaign
HIS opening speech OF one hour was Il
SPLENDID effort anu delighted hi1 DEM
ocratic auditors.
He did not 20 INFO Gen, GAGFIRLD's
private or personal record, but his ar
alignment OF the public record OF the
Republican candidate was 4 most cut.
ting and telling one
He fastened the centralizing tenden-
cias OF his party upon him with most
convincing and u~nanswerable lac, and
argument, from which there was no es'
| caDe.
Upon the financial questions he
showed by Gen. GARFIELD's recorded
votes in Congress that he was in full
accord with the measures Of contraction
! and against tho industrial interests OF
the country.
One noticeable feature OF the discus
sion, which will tell against Mr.. HUTcH'
ISsoy on the day OF election. was hls
absolute refusal TO answer the pointed
and cutting interrogatories p~ropounded
b. Col. WILSON, as follows:
l. 81 respectfully demand of Mr..
HUTCHINSON that he will tell these good
people whether he endorses the vote oI
his distinguished Tile leader, Gen, GAR
FIELD, in voting against the passage o.
the bill demonetizins silver, Over Mr.
| HAYES veto?'
.. "Does he endorse and agree with
| Gen. GARFIELD that the coinage OF the
| silver dollar is all wrong, and that II
should not now be money, and is he in
favor OF its demonet;zation?'
5. Il also demand OF Sir. HUTCmSsoS
to tell these people plainly and urequiv'
| ocally whether he endorses the vote o
| Gen. GARFIELD against the bill Offered
by Mr.. SoUrHwoRrH, OF Odio, to make
greenbacks receivable for custom dues
Also, whether he endorses the votes o
Gen. GARFIELD against making the trade
dollar exchangeabie for legal tender SIT
yer dollars at the mint; and to prohibi
the Secretary from cancelling aud retir
ing THAT il, destroying) greenbaci
money when paid into the Treasury
However Mr.. HUTCHINSON may dis
pose of these questions in tie speed
ne and the Int>'IgsRCer reporter have
prepared for publication, in his attempt
10 meet them at New Cumberland, 1t
wiggIej and squirmed and cut tn,
whole matter short by saying that HI
proposed Ito let the dead past bury it
dead" and that she would rattle

Expectation was on tip.toe to hea
Mr.. HUTCuINsoS explain himself and ex
press his views in answer TO thes'
questions. They are OF the great

the very lie Of trade and commerce
Our people will not he content with thi'

But We venture the prediction that t

We opine, however, that HOTCHIHsoN
