president or vice president, In addition to
the treasurer, and on the order of the
board of directors for all loans in accor-
dance with the search of title and liens

money by reason OF errors in your search
es while attorney TOR it
You had nothing to do with the rec.
omme- ling Of loans to tie association
except as director upon q favorable re-
port OF the Investigating commit ee, aud

securities for all loans made you by
them, and that they have never lost any

The following cOmmunlcaNOrs will
no doubt be read with interest.
Ths artsts published in the Evening
Journal Of the 3D. instant grossly and ma
iiciously attacks my character and
charges me with malfeasAnce towards
certain loan associations, clients and the
city OF Of Wilmington. If the publishers
Of the Journal In question have any finAn-
cial responsibility they will be held to
answer for the publication OF their mali
cious lioels. can only say at this time
that advantage has been taken of some
financial embarrassments to make
charges against me which are utterly and
entirely false, end while subscribing no
good end are calculated only to interfere
with the settlement of my Obligations,
which 1 hope TO discharge .honorably and
fully.
The insinuation that have had any
connect on whatever with Mr.. N. l..
Lichteustein or his defalcRtions is with
out foundation. Never was connected
or interested with him otherwise than in
being unfortunate enough to be a stock
holder In tho loan associations which
have suffered through him.
The suhjoined letter Of Mr.. Lea Pusey,
president OF the Perpetual Loan Asso-
cia ion, fairly shows my connection with
aud mode OF transacting business with
that association The same Is true OF
NY rslstiOn a. attorney 10 the Clayton
and 6ermaniA Loan Associations, and
after the investigations now in progress
In those associations are completed, my
relations 10 them will be found to be en-
tirely FREQ from any cause Of cenSure.
None OF these associations have ever lost,
and they will not lose a dollar in any
way BY any fault or negligence of mine
as attorney or otherwise.
With respect to the alleged statement
OF liens on record against me, some mort.
cages are paid and not satisfied and
others represent tums largely in excess
Of the amounts actually due,
so far as the city Is concerned all my
obligations, both legal and moral, to IL
have been and will be honorably fulfilled
do not propose to enter into contro-
versy respecting my business with ire.
sponsible newspaper reporters seeking q
sensation, but deem 1t proper 10 ask my
friends and the public generally to tiK no
credit TO such statements, and TO suspend
any adverse criticism which might be
suggested by such bold and malicious

of the state.
The following test will be required of cash
voter at the said Primary Elections:
Are you I'M elector, or will you be an clertor
at the ensuing election, and will you support
the nominees OF the National and State Demo-
cratic Conventions?
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
That this committee cordially and emphat-
italy Innurses the Admins alton OF resIdt ut
Cleveland. 1t las been thoroughly rue TO the
best interest Uf TIC Republic, ana tne peace
and prosperity of the country arc largely uue
to its Wise and benign policy with respect to
both foreign and domestic matters. 1t has re-
formed the civil service, abolished useless Of
iCes, reduced the Governments expenses
restored n.any millions of acres of laud TO the
public domain, greatly reduced the public
debt, prevented the importation of paupcr Ia.
Dor under CONT at, ana has wisely and cOnsist l.
emily endt avOred to effect q reduction of the

pie.
The line of policy laid down in the last an
nual message of the President for the revision
and reduction OF wir tariffs especially com
perity to oil classes of producers and of that
genuine and honest protection to labor 30 long
promised but never vouchsafed by the mo-
nopolistic legislation of the so-cslled Republi-
can party.
We congratulate the whole country, and es-
pecially the Pacific Coast, on the successful
negOt alton by President Cleveland with China
which effectually excludes all further inmi-
grafton of Chinese laborcrs to this country and
prevents those now here, who may go to China
l.returning, except in special cases.
We therefore avow, without hesitation or
qualification, our uDsl AIKEN confidence in the
wisdom, cou1 age and devotion Of President
Cleveland, and earnestly and hopefully recon-

fee which no has so acceptably filed.
| We favor the exclusion from our country OF
foreign criminal paupers, insane and all others
who may become q burden to taxpayers, ms

REPORT SHOWING THE CONDITION OF
THE WHEAT AND OTHER CROPS.
WASHINGTON. Nay 10. The crop
report issued from the department Of
agriculture says: Low temperature
and deficient rainfall, with drying
winds and some frost have reduced
the condition Of winter wheat in the
Central states. 1t, has also been
.c,,ld Oh the Atlantic coast and not
favorable o Improvement, and yet
the plant has nearly held its own in
this r ginn, On the Pacific coast
only medium development is re-
perie,'. in the Southern states
changes are slight, several averages

erage is reduced 0 per cent. from
82.7. Last years condition reduced
from So | in April.to S5.S in May.
The Stare average of winter wheat in
the principal States are as follows:
New York, rs; Penpsyl, ania, 80;
Virginia, 90; Ohio, So; Michigan, 81,
Indiana, 80; Illinois, 81; Missouri, 8S;
Kansas, 81; Texas, 80. Winter rye
remains very nearly as in April; the
average being so 8, instead OF 935.
The condition of winter barley is
So 3. promising a medium crop.
Spring plowing is not 80 well adj
vanced as usual. Ii is relatively la
ter 10 the more Northern States of
Atlantic coast; sli-btly later than
usual in the Middle States ard
scarcely up to q full average in tire
oonth. I'sprogress is an average in
the Ohio Valley, but late in the
Northwest, especially in Dakota.
Cotton planting was delayed by ex-
cess of moisture in February end low
temperature in March, the soil not
being in condition for early planting.
The delay was greatest in Texas and
Louisiana. In Arkansas, Tennesse
and North Carolina, from 4 to 6 per
cent. less than usual was plated on
the first of May. In States on the
coast from South Carolina to Aissis-
sippi, piseting is neatly up to Its ay-
rage advancement. An iEvestiga-
ton of the rate Of wages of agricul,
tural labor shows that no material
change has occurred since the last
previous injury in May 1885. There
il a slight increase in New England
and in the Northern States from
Michigan westward and in some OF
the Southern States. There is no
sppreciable change 10 the Central
States. The May report will give
rates by States. ..- -:
