| Washington Correspondence Louisville Cou-
rier-Journal.]
Hon. J. J. Hemphill, Representative
from the Fifth South Carolina District, has
been in the Capital for several days past,
looking after the interests of his consttu-
ents. Mr.. Hemphill is brother of the
Rev. Mr. Hemphill, pastor of the Broadway
PRESBYTERIAN Church of Louisville. He is
one of the brightest and best balanced young
members Of the House, and always makes a
good impression, whether in politics or So
Girl circle. He is apparently about 35 years
of age, tall and straight, his hair and mus
tache light brown, and his features full of
force and decision.
GLOW are your people pleased with the
appointments they have received, and the
Administration generally" asked the cor
respondent.
ments that have gone to our State have as a
rule, given entire satisfaction, and the gen.
eral policy of the President is heartily en-.
dorsed. We believe that the purposes of
the President are pure and straig ghtforward
and this alone would commend him to an
honest thinking people. We believe that
| he has q mind Of his own, with the courage
| of his convictions. We feel assured that his
course will be consistent for the four years
and that he will strengthen the party in the
eyes of the nation every day. The Admin
istration will be great deal stronger year
or eighteen months hence than now. BY
that time l am convinced we will all see the
wisdom of Mr.. Cleveland's prudent and up,
right policy. I have great faith in him."
''Was the appointment of Mr.. Trenholm
as one of the civil service commission agree
able to the people Of your State?"
"a better selection could not have been
made Mr.. Trenholm is a gentleman of
spotless reputation and a ripe scholar. lie
comes of a family famous for their culture
and practical business qualifications. The
President could not have found gentleman
of more accomplishments or better qualified
in every way than Mr.. Trenholm"
"How is your delegation on the tariff
question ?''
1--WE are solid for tariff REFORM"
"Do you believe in incidental protec-
tion'?"
"Not in the usual Interpretation of that
term. We are for tariff for revenue only
a tariff that will meet the expenditures of
the Government, administered upon honest
and economical basis. Farther than that
we do not go. OF course any tariff would
afford some incidental protection."
"Will Mr.. Carlisle be reelected without
opposition ?"
81 think so he certainly will be nomi-
mated and elected. That is foregone con-
cluson."
Chow are you on the silver question:"
"Some of our delegation, yselfincluded,
will vote for modification of the present
law. We hold that something must be
done to equalize the two coins, else there
will be crisis. Some capitalists have al
ready commenced to buy gold as specula-
ton. / heard of man in this city who has
bought $4,000 worth of gold to speculate
upon. He says that within year it will
pay him 20 per cent. more than he can
expect to realize in any other investment.
The treasury is being draiLed Of its gold,
which is worth twenty cents more on the
dollar than silver. Even the employees,
when they are paid off in silver at one
desk, go at once to another and demand
gold in exchange and it must be passed
over We might continue to use silver as
subsidiary coin, but l am of the opinion
that some legislation is needed to avert
financial disaster"
"Who will be nominated for doorkeeper
of the House by the Democratic caucus:"
captain Sam Donelson, of Tennessee, |
think. / shall vote for him."
"Will your delegation support him SOL
idly?"
81 do not speak by authority, but 1 be.
lievc he will get every vote from my State"
