A REPUBLICAN FIGHT.
Chairman Jones and Ex-SecIetary
Chandler Have Few Words.

PTTTsBURa, Pa, December 2.-In
his recent letter to the Boston Herald
Ex-Secretary Chandler eaid:
After the Presidential election the
chairman of the National Committee
wss indiscreet enough, in a published
interview, to impute to President Ar
thur and his Cabinet want OF fidelity
and zeal in the canvass. This charge
was baseless, and was so declared by
me at the time. All possible and ap-
propriate assistance was rendered. 1t
could not have been expected that we
should supersede the chairman or do
his work, although it would have been
better if some one had done so. A re-
Porter of the Plttsburg Commercial Ga
setl< called upon Mr.. B. j. Jones, the
chsilmal of the National Committee.
and asked him what he had to say in
reply to this paragraph, Mr.. Jones
said:
''The statements made by me in the
interview referred to by Mr.. Chandler
/ then considered necessary and prop.
er to make, and now, as then, know
them to be true. The purpcrt OF these
statements was that if Mr., Arthur and
members OF his Cabinet, with a few
exceptions, had been as loyal to Mr..
Blaine as Mr.. Blaine would have been
TO Mr.. Arthur had the later been
nominated, Mr.. Blaine would have
been President. SO far as Mr.. Chand-
ler's reference to me, personally is con-
cerned, / do not feel called upon to
defend myself. 1 have no taste for,
nor do sse any present occasion for
a discussion as to political methods
with one whose plens and proposals
during the brief intercourse / bad with
him in the campaign Of 1884 were not
such as to commend him to those hav-
ing the success OF the Republican par.
ty at heart. His criticisms at that
time of men, then the most prominent
in the party, do rot seem to me quite
consistent with his present express
sions OF regret in regard to bad feeling
between public men. 1 would not
like to feel called upon to make pub
lie the facts upon which my opinion
of Mr.. Chandler is based"

IsPEoIAL TO THE APPHAL.


HIGH POINT, N. O., December O.
The weather turned cold on Wednes-
day night and the ground had a froz IN
crust sufficiently strong to hold up a
horse. The day was cold and raw. A
cold wind blew from the northwest.
On the whole it was very poor day
for good field work. Short heats and
insufficient tests were the order of the
day.
The ftst brace was Daisy F. and
Gene. Daisy had the advantage in
every particular and won. Then
Chance and Mack competed. The
former had the better speed, style and
range, although Mack vas an extra
good dog. Chance outworked him on
birdsssnd won. Dan Glsdston, and
Dashing Noble ran a short heat. Dan
had greater speed and range and out
worked Dsshing Noble and won.
The next brace was Fannie w. and
Prince Imperial. Both dogs ranged
wide and fast. Fannie had the better
style and had little advantage in
the work, and won.
Bob Gates and Bell of Piedmont
ran a fine heat, in which the dog had
a decided advantage in speed and
range. He did also better work on
birds, and won.
Pet Gladstone and Slocum ran a
short heat, in which the former easily
defeated Slocum.
Fred W. and Clifford we're in the
first heat of the second series. The
heat was short and closely contested,
and Fred w. won.
Golster ran a short race. Gloster
had a slight advantage In range and
did the better work on birds, 80 far as
1t could be judged in the short time.
Bell and Roy Monarch ran very
short heat, in which little work was
done. Bell won.
Daisy F. and Mandan ran a very
close heat, which Daisy F. won. Both
ranged and worked well. Chance and
Dan Gladstone ran q short but SUI
perior heat. Chance had the advan-
tage in range and speed, and out
worked Dan Gladstone and won. Bob
Gates and Fannie w. ran a short
time, and were ordered up to be put
down in the morning. This ended
the days races.

The Convicted Anarchists.

The effort to get up sympathy for the
convicted anarchists In Chicago does not
meet with success. The people OF that
| city, and of the whole country, for that
matter. will rejoice If they finally suffer
the full penalty of their crimes.
The chances are that the motion for
new trial will be overruled, and that the
verdict will not be disturbed by the higher
court. Judge Gary, who presided during
the trial, was extremely liberal to the de-
PENDANTS, and their counsel admit that
they have no complaints OF the court to
make. An admission of that kind may
be accepted as indicating that there is
not much hope for the defendants
There is no reason to doubt that they
are guilty, and they are not, therefore, en-
titled to any sympathy. Many times in
their public addresses they advised the
people to commit acts of violence, we'll
knowing that such advice, II needed,
would result N bloodshed. They have for
months, and some Of them for years, been
engaged In the manufacture of bombs
with the sole purpose of numbering the
officers who are charged with the duty of
guarding the city and protecting the lives
and property of its citizens.
They had no good end in view. They
aimed to bring about confusion, disorder
and chaos, simply that they might load
themselves with plumber.
1t is probable that they Will die on the
gallows, and it is safe to say that there
Will be feeling of relief throughout the
country when the trap falls.
The anarchists had been acting upon
the belief that they could do as they
pleased in this country. Every day they
became holder. At first they talked
guardedly, and when they found they
were not molested they expressed them
| selves more freely. AS they became
stronger In numbers they began to pre-
pare TO defy the laws and those who ad-
ministered them. They have discovered
that the laws are enforced in this country,
and that there is as much power here to
punish such as they are as there is in
Germany or Russia.
John Most, the New York anarchist, is
in prison, and if the verdict of the Jury
with respect to the Chicago anarchists is
enforced it will be a good while before they
will again attempt to Stay the police with
bombs or advise the people to commit
murder
