DEAR SIR Your favor received enclos-

misstatemeut Of my views and votes.
am unqHaitiedy in fitvcr Of building our
navy in cur own yards and at home. No
one takes more pride in Wilmington mechan-

Of my Official life to plint 70 the excelleucy
Of our workmanship. But | need not en-
large tony fellow-ci izens who understand
and credit me with right motives.
II further explanation, in your Judgment

tiou.
Yours Very Respectfully,
CHARLES B. LoRE.
The explanation, as proifered BY our out
spoken lepr, sentative at Washington, was
immediately asked for from this ofS.e, in
the interests OF Mr.. Lprs's co nstltuency i'll
Wilmington, and the following open, candid
aud lucid reply which should satisfy all but
the most dI3ngehouous, cArpng aud dis
honest parties has been received.
House OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington, March 8, 1885
Edi or TIE WILMlNGroNlAN.
DEAR SIR Your Telegram Of TO- day just
received.
In the preliminary consideration of the bill
to build ten new Ships for the navy, with
best engines aud armament, it was proposed
by Air Hewitt that the Secretary of the
\ Navy be allowed to buy engines for one OF
I the ships in Europe il there should be any
4 great Improvement which We did not thel
4 possess and might set cnIy buy purchase.
For this voted with majority of th,
committee. You will see it was only a con
tngepcy and to secure any pnssi,l le new in
ventions. Upon subsequent consideration
we We're satisfied the authority was unnec
essary aud 50 struck it out by vote amos
unanimously.
/. The object was 10 gian to our own people
in the one model the most advanced European
ideas and thus afford any belp it might il
the other vessels, all Of whch were to b
built at home. But as l said this was onl,
professionally voted on and was stricken out
our votes being to build all at home.
think yoa will see that nothing is NOR
ridiculous than the charge based on thi
vote that was in favor Of building our en-
gines abroad. Ii the clause had stood, i
was only to be operative in case new an,
important inventions made it imperative 70
the Secretary 50 to buy in order to gain sucl
inventions
No one is mD!e earnest in demanding tina
We shall do all our own naval work than |
but would give our mechanics by purchas
or otherwise every m dern invention or idea
and then let the inevitable Yankee lead til
world.
THIS charge was SO ridiculous that
thought it unworthy of notice. 1t has bee
distorted and exaggerated beyond measure
shall be glad to give YOU any details tina
you may ask

SO rang throughout the world as the in

received conclusive assurances that kin
bred people regard with warm fraternal

confront master difficulty, and to obtain
in reasonable degree the main ends of
