CLEVELAND'S LETTER
WIN Be Ready In Two Weeks and w
Deal with tho Tariff.

WIN Be Ready In Two Weeks and WIN
Deal with tho Tariff.
WASHINGTON, August 4.-The frequent
inquiries at the White House as to when
the presidents letter formally accepting
the st. Louis nomination would be made
public have been uniformly met with the
reply that no information could be given
as to the date To-day, however, Colonel
Lamont informed the Democratic member
of congress that the letter would he forth
coming in q couple of weeks. While it
has been two months since the nomination,
there has been no unusual delay in the
matter, as in 1884 the president did not
issue his letter of acceptance until August
10.
1t has been asserted that the President
has been waiting until tho Senate should
act on the tariff bill; but this is absurd, in
asmuch as the Senate bill is not likely to
be passed until the campaign is half fought
out. The Presidents position was dis
tinctly announced in his message of De-
cember last, and his letter of acceptance
cannot be made more pointed or striking.
1t is the general opinion here that tho
letter, in effect, will follow the lines of
the revenue reform message without much
admixture of other matters, unless some
thing in relation to pensions is intro.
duced.
The pressure on the Presidents time is
very great Just now, as Congress is turning
out large grists of bills which he must
approve or reject, and the President never
shirks in these matters. This has doubt
less delayed the appearance of his letter Of
acceptance more than anything else.

Who are Leading Their Race from Politi-
Cal bondage.
ST. LOUIS, August Al. Milton Tur-
ner, chairman of the National Negro DEM
ocratic Executive Committee, has returned
to the city from the indianapolis Conven-
ton. He was seen by reporter, to whom
he said: "The indianapolis Convention
was by far the most intellectual gathering
of negroes that ever assembled together
in this country. There were nine
lawyers, five physicians and large
number of teachers, among the latter be-
ing Prof. Peter II. Clark, the greatest ne
gro educator of the age. l shall call q
meeting at an early day for the Executive
Committee in New York, when we will
communicate with the National Democrat
ic Committee. Oar policy will he to CO.
operate with the party in doubtful States
by furnishing speakers. literature and
workers. A national Democratic negro
paper will be established in Washington,
ID. c., and the result of the movement
will he . far better understanding be-
tween the whites and negroes at the South
than has existed heretofore.
1.-THE attempt of Republican papers to
ridicule this movement is an admission
that our arguments are unaswerable. The
negro's interests are with the party which
advocates tariff reform. He is producer
of cotton and other raw mater
ials, and under high hprotective system
ultimately pays tax on his own
labor. We are not actuated, as Republi-
cans claim. by mercenary motives, nor
was the Democratic National Committee
at all concerned in calling or directing the
movement, which represents the highest
thought the negroes represent in this coun-
try. As rapidly "a he is able to grasp
the subject of the tariff he will become
Democratic. The fact that the tariff ques-
ton is the issue is q happy circumstance
for the negro who wishes to break the
shackles of party slavery. 1t takes him
out of politics as an issue and enables him to
make terms with the men of that section
in which he must earn his living. The
American negro can live in no other coun-
try but the United States, and he can live
nowhere in the United States as well as in
the South. There IFS labor is necessary.
1t is well-settled principle that love is
always aggressive, and in the natural
course of events the negro will come to
own the soil, or his part of it which he cul-
tiyatesD

PRIMARIES.
LOVELY REPUBLICAN /. ROW.
a Hot Fight Between Two Factions in Lewis
County.

WESTON, W. VA, August 4.-The Re
publicans held conventions sn each of the
Magisterial Districts Of the county to-day
for the purpose of appointing delegates to
a general convention to be held here next
Saturday, at which the county ticket will
he nominated. For some time
there has been spirited contest
over the nomination for the prose-
cutting attorneyship, the candidates
being Eugene SomIaerville and George G.
Cole. The nomination of Cole has been
cbsmpioned by the town bosses, whilst
Sommerville is said to be more popular
with the country people. Alta recent con-
vention held here some hard feeling was
caused by the adoption of q motion,
fayoring a mass convention for
the nomination Of the county
ticket and as the County Executive
Committee had since called district con-
vention apparently in defiance of the ex-
pressed will of the people, at that time,
some trouble was anticipated to-day by the
friends of both candidates, as the dele
gates appointed wouln virtually settle the
question of who would be the nominee
However, as Sommerville seemed to be in
the lead, no objection was made to the &C.
ton of the committee, and everything
passed off even more smoothly than was
expected.
On Sand Fork, after the Cole men were
defeated, DIR. NJ. 8. Holt, editor of the Re-
publican, went up to W. B. McGary, the
Democratic candidate for the position, and
congratulated him and assured him that
he would receive his vote. Other Repub-
licans followed suit, and when the con-
vention adjourned one hack full Of Repub-
licans made the air sound with cheers for

which they remained stationary for the re-
mainder of the time. The close was firm

Morgan, who was hanged at Columbus,
Friday morning, was well-known in To
ronto, having on the night Of August Z,
1888, without moments warning, muir
dered James Maroney near the Revere

of Charles Andrews. On his trial he
pleaded not guilty, maintaining that the
shot was fired in self-defense. The jury
found him guilty of granddaughter, and he
was sentenced to Ave years in the Kings

well behaved, but succeeding in making q
hole through the prison walls, he and q
fellow prisoner named Kennedy made
their escape while the prisoners were en-
