Committees BAGkdOwn.
U. S. Senator C. j. Faulkner left yes
terday for Washington after being here
four days. In that time he supervised
the correspondence on the Democratic
side in regard to Judge Pleming's in
ability to cope with Coffin public debate,
II looks to man on the outside as II the
original intention to make demand on
the National Committee for share of
the campaign contributions of Presi-
dent Cleveland, the Standard ~ com,
pany, the Jay Gould monopotleS ana
other Democrats had been modified TO
the effect that the local Democracy
would do what it could to help itself. A
committee OF prominent Democrats has
been around for the past two days beg
ging funds. They have been instant in
season and ont OF season, and apparent
" did not care whether they tackled a
man on the street corner or IN the prl-
yacy OF his office. What success the
committee had Is not known.
Below will be found several express
sions OF opinion from prominent people
ON Senator Faulkner's letter lsigned by
Mr.. Riley.) These are from Republican
sources. The Democrats, when asked
about the matter, looked sad and said
they chad not had time to reaa the let
ters." -
II. P. McGregor-I wish Goff would
devote half hour some day to demo!!-
ishing Henry S. Walker. He can do 1t
in that time and not half try.
Thomas L. Lewis-That shows great
lack OF confidence in himself on Judge
Fleming's part, or rather lack OF conf
dence in him on the committees part.
The Democrats must be playing losing
game when they resort to such silly
bluffs as they do.
f. W. Dnnagqy-ThC Walker and
Wilson proposition is lhe Hlpslest pre-
text | ever saw. Fleming ought 20
meet Golf or the Democrats ought to
shut up. 49,,
=. ", Bowos-Fleming's square back
down tickleS the Republicans. II
Walker is SO anxious to shoot oil his
abuse under the gnise Of n Joint debate
we will send for Ingalls, He is more
after his style. Who can blame Got
for refusing to meet Walker, u man who
has not the respect Of hisown paFtyY,
W. A, Janes-I wouldn't say what
that Committee does about Judge
Fleming OF anybody on my ticket II
Thought it was so. is an awful au'
mission for their managers to make.
Gale Sylvis-The RegisIer has good
deal of gaul to keep up its game oil DIM
after the committees back down. 4.
S. G. Smith-We have the best Of It,
That 10 dead giveaway on Judge Flem
ing. an
about General Golf meeting Henry 5
Walker, but il they want to substitute
W. /. Wilson for Judge Fleming, 9ttel
the frank admission OF tho committee
that Fleming is no match for Goh, why
/ hope Gotf will accept. OF course he u
more that a match for Wilson, and he
has the right side. ,,,
Prof ]. IL. Jones-Tsp't that an awfu
admission, that Judge Fleming Is toc
busy speaking in the interior To inform
himself on the issues OF the campaign
wonder what he talks about to the peo
pie of the interior. a.. :.
A. ". CampbeIl-Thc committee. is
very frank as to Judge Elemings in
ability to cope with Coli pnderEtanc
in laicr correspondence Mr.. Riley in
gists on his declinatioa on behalf ol
Fleming and again challenges Goti OF
behalf Of Wilson. There seems to be 1
good deal OF talk aaoat about . meeting
between Gof and Wilson, and | thlaL
il would be appropriate for them tc
meet. ,,,,,
down. feel CORY for Judge Fleming
The committee should not have glVet
him away so.
William Erskinc-To say the least, '
was very amusing.
Frank Johnson--That portion OF th'
correspondence that struck me mos
iorcibty was Riley's letter about Judg
, Fleminga unftness to discuss the issues
II was the most honest confession eve
: heard OF, but still 1t was nothing new
