1t was first a street fight. A white man
and negro got into fight, and somebody
fred of pistol during the difficulty. This
was considered signal to murder some
one and the shooting became general. The
negroes were killed because they were
towards. Our white men whipped them;
that's all. The negroes tried Just as hard
as they could 10 kill the white men, and
had they succeeded as well as the latter, l
presume the people north would have said
nothing about II. AS 1t Is they try to make
1t appear a great political slaughter. There
were as many pistols brandlshed by the
blacks ss the whites. Some one has sug-
gested on the Republican side that the al
fair should be Investigated by Congress. 1t
is a matter that does not concern the func-

The wool growing industry, he said, was
closely allied 10 the agricultural and farm
ing class, which favored restoration Of
the old rates on wool, and this circum.
stance would give the bill strength before
the Representatives. His State was the
chiet wool producing Ststeiin the country
