dents special coufdont, was naturally
well satisfied. Z" II is fine letter, said
he, ga magnificent letter, aud the man
who wrote it deserves, as he will receive,
the endorsement Of the American
people"
A CONCLUSIVE DOCUMENT.
Mr.. Wilson. OF West Virginia, who
has earned the reputation of having
made the best speeches both in the
House and on the hustInPs that have
been made on either side since the cam
paign began, is enthusiastic in his
praises. lie SAYS it is a clear, calm and
conclusive document. II lays down
the true Democratic doctrine in true
Democratic style, and 1t will 20
home to the hearts OF the people.
MIR. Wilson and Mr.. Mills have pro-
missed to be in Richmond next Friday
night TO address the Democrats OF your
city, and it is needless to say that their
presentation OF the Democratic doc
trines on the subject of the tariff will be
thorough and exhaustive
REPUBLICANS CHAGBrNED.
The Republicans are evidently very
much cbagrined at the tone of Mr..
Cleveland letter. They had hoped that
it would be much more radical IN its
treatment of the tariff than it is. Their
game has been TO stampede the skilled
labor of the country with the cry of free
trade, but Mr.. Cleveland has cut the
ground from under them by his own
very emphatic reputation of the free
trade heresy. He endorses very fully
the Mills bill, which imposes All
average tariff Of over AZ per cent.
on dutiable goods. Not much
free trade in that. The President, how
ever, sympsthizss very deeply with t Q
masses of the people who are now op-
pressed by the present tariff, and does
not hesitate to say so. lie Is far
trader, not a free trader and believes
that unnecessary taxation IS unjust
TAXATION" That is sentiment that will
find very hearty response from nine
tentbs Of the American people.
THE PRESIDENT DEFENDED.
Senator Morgan to-day made very
able defence of the Presidents policy on
the Chinese question, and during the
course OF his remarks had occasion 10
deliver singing rebuke 10 Senator
Mitchell of Oregon. The latter
had interrupted him to say that
he did not believe that any man
in the country honestly believed that the
Chinese Government looked upon Har-
rison as their friend and were holding
off the treaty in hopes OF his election, as
Senator Morgan had stated. 81 will
not, said Mr.. Morgan, "haye my hon
esty impeached by man OF your charac-
ter either here or elsewhere.
LOOKING TO ADJOURNMENT.
Now that the Presidents letter of ac-
ceptance is out the Democrats are anx-
Ious to adjourn Congress and take the
field for the canvass. A call for caucus
is being numerously signed TO day, and
it is probable that about Thursday
a caucus will be held with view
to fixing upon a time for adjournment.
Meanwhile the House conference com
mittees are doing all in their power to
get rid OF the appropriation bills now in
conference. With this object III view
they to-day recommended the adoption
of the report on the Notifications bill,
and it was agreed to by the House.
THE TRUSTS.
The caucus will determine whether or
not the bills introduced by Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, of Arkansas, for the suppression
OF various trusts shall he con
sdered. 1t is well understood that
these bills would be pigcon-holed
bv the Republicans in the Senate
if adopted 10y the House, but Mr. Brock
inridge and others insist that it is the
duty of the Democratic House to pass
them and throw the responsibility Of
suppressing them upon the Republican
majority in the Senate.
NEW YORK.
Advices from New York are to the eff
feet that Judge Humans presence in
that city and in New Jersey has been
productive Of the best results. The
mere sight Of the "Old Roman
seems to have enthused the
Democrats of the two States.
The New York star to-day claims that
Mr.. Cleveland will receive a great many
votes from the colored people Of the
Empire State, and quotes from several
of the leading men Of the race to that
effect who have been interviewed by Its
reporter.
DIR. CURRY TO RESIGN.
Yirginians generally will regret to
learn that DR.. J. l.. NJ. Curry has ten
dered bis resignation az Minister 10
Spain. The reason assigned by ID.
Curry is the insalnbrity of the climate Of
Madrid. He will leave How're, France,
for the United States on September I'D.
THE PRESIDENTS DONATION.
The President to-day sent the follow
ing dispatch to Jacksonville;
d" 10 james ". Schumacher:
"Please draw on me for $500 in aid Of
the people OF jacksonville, and assure
them that while in their dire extremity
they may be led to expect no moro as
sistance from the Government than can
be extended within tie limitations Of

doing all that is permitted, and the
people of the country will gladly respond
10 tho call of their distressed fellow
countrymen for relief.
