Rev. Derrick Denies that He Refused
to Serve the New York Republicans.
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-The Republican
State Committee held an exciting discus
sion this afternoon upon the question of a
successor to Rev. W. b. Derrick, colored,
on the State electoral ticket. Representa-
tives of the various Republican colored
organizations called on the committee to-
day, and asked that Rev. Derrick's name
be continued. Rev. Derrick appeared in
person, and stated that he had not re-
signed. He claims to have written letter
to Police Commissioner Vancott, saying
that his duties as pastor of Bethel church
would interfere with a proper perform
ance of his duties as an elector. He af-
forwards, he says, withdrew the letter.
A proposition to substitute William M.
Evarts or some other white man on the
ticket was not acceded to.
Colored men objected to the substitu-
tion of Mr.. Evarts or any other white man
in place of Rev. Derrick. The committee
adjourned without taking action, to the
dissatisfaction of the cOlOred men.

COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 4.-Superiutendent
Carr, of the Columbus, Hooking Valley
and Toledo Railroad, has sent long tele-
gram of a friendly nature to Charles Ev-
ans at Straitsyillp, District President of
the Miners Union, informing him that
unless the striking miners go to work in
DAY or two at the rates offered by the
operators all the mines at Straitsville will
be abandoned by the syndicate. Straits
vile is the only mining town of cOnse-
quence in Perry county, whose Sheriff has
refused to ask for aid or 10 take steps
toward the protection OF property. The
operators have concluded to concentrate
guards at the mines in Hooking and
Athens counties at two or three places,
and hold the authorities of Perry county
responsible for any damage to property in
that county. This order has not been
given by the syndicate, but it is looked
for in day or two. A large number of
miners in StraitsVille own the dwellings
i'll which they live.
