Pittsburg Dispatch, tells this story of his cam
paigning in Indiana Arriving at a
town in which he was engaged to speak,
he learned that owing to a mistake
he was billed for the next night. To put in
the time he walked to a miners meeting four
miles away. The miners were discussing vari-
Gus things, but when they found that a
foreign speaker was at their door they in
vited him in, and in he went. He
though he was never in a mine in his life He
was in for it. however, and he started in with
a red-hot republican speech. 1t dismayed the
democrats in the audience, and they quickly
sent for Michael Sullivan, the democratic boss.
and Mike arriveda as the speaker was in the
midst of beautiful flight of rhetoric.
Nike advanced to the center of the room,
and breaking in on the speaker, asked: .'Phwat
the divil does this mane?'
''Sit down." said Hail.
''But want to know" persisted Mike.
''Sit down." said Hall. You will have your
chance to speak"
.Yes," said Mike, "an' thrue for yez. I'll
sphake me say, and yezll hear from me-"
That's all right" said Hall, and he went on
with his speech, which set the miners wild He
dwelt on the benefits of protection and was
cheered. As he neared the close of his speech
he whispered to a republican friend who sat on
the platform. The republican friend circulated
through the audience. Presently the astute Hall
finished in blaze of glory, there was a mighty
cheer went up, and in an instant every light
went out, and Michael Sullivan found himself
hustled down stairs before he had time to catch
his breath. The meeting had adjourned and
Mike didn't have chance to say his say.
That town went republican for the first time
in its history, and Mike Sullivan's power was

Not more than one-sixth Of the democrats

CLEVELAND AND HILL.
There was some talk at the capitol about the
way Hill and Cleveland appear to avoid each
other. When Mr.. Cleveland went to New York
during the campaign, it happened at time
that Mr.. Hhl had an engagement elsewhere,
and could not be ON the reviewing stand with
the President. 1t Is regarded as
A LITTLE CURIOUS
that on the occasion of Mr.. Hills visit to Wash
ington the President and Mrs. Cleveland should
suddenly find it necessary to go to New York.
The President and the governor met at dinner
last evening, but the latter did not call at the

he designates as the greatest democrat"

Special Dispatch to The EVENING STAR.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, Feb. 6.-Once more
legislative matters have assumed lively
aspect. The dull routine work of balloting for
United States Senator and adjourning has
been changed from the fact that another Rich
mond is in the field, and that several Of those
who have been voting for Kenna have refused
to do SO any longer. Kenns could have been
elected at any time with the vote of Dorr, Of
Webster, but Dorr has perslstently refused to
vote for him under any circumstances, and on
Monday made public statement to that effect,
and gave his reasons at length therefor.

the nominee of a conference, which he de-
clared was not caucus, and the action OF
which he said did not bind anyone unless they
saw fit to abide by it. He pointed out the folly
and danger of a minority nominating man
and taking the position that the nominee
should be sustained. He stated as his
opinion that two years ago johnson N. Camden
would have been elected United States Senator

could not eleot-persisted in designating him
a caucus nominee. He stated that he had no
ill-feeling toward Senator Kenna, and that if
at any time his vote would elect him or any
other representative democrat it would be so
cast When he had concluded he cast his vote
for Henry S. Walker.
Delegate Shankin also withdrew his support
from Kenna. When the roll was called Golf re-
ceived 43; Kenna, Al; Pierson, g.; Hereford, 2,

NEW CANDIDATE FOR SENATOR.
President of the Senate Carr has personally
announced his candidacy for the senatorsh p
and, as he can hold the three labor votes, he
can at least prevent the election of any one
else unless a number of republicans can be in
duced to vote for a democrat, or vice versa
which is hardly possible. Two of the three
labor men are democrats and one republican.
CHANGE OF PROGRAM POSSIBLE.
To-day the first balloting under the new Or
der Of things will begin, and it remains to be
seen how Kenna will hold out. The clicking"
democrats claim that Kenna has never been
properly nominated by caucus, only recon-
mended in a conference; hence they are not
violating party usage in voting against him for
other democrats.

THE SAMOAN CONFERENCES.
Secretary Bayard Accepts Bismarck's
Proposition for Their Resumption.

Secretary Bayard has informed Count Arco
that the proposition Of the 0srman govsrh-
ment for resumption, at Berlin, of the Samoan
conferences Of 1887 is acceptable to this gov
eminent.
The New York Herald this morning prints the
following, which was, it is said, dictated by Mr..
Bayard:
With the resumption at Berlin Of the amicsbie con-
proposal Of Prince Bismarck ana which il acceptable
70 thus government, there seems little ground 70
doubt that peaceful and permanent settlement Of all
the questions Of native rights in Samoa well the
rights OF tine three treaty powers will be attained But
further than to comment in terms of general approval
on the good temper shown by Count Bismarck in re-
the questions involved in the atmosphere Of dipo-
matte settlement. 1t is more respectful to Congress
That Mr. Bayards should be first laid
before them and In that way be made public.
THE CORRESPONDENCE
will probably be sent to the Senate this after
noon or tomorrow. 1t will probably not be
necessary to send q special commissioner to
Berlin to represent this government in the
conferences, as the United States minister
there could carry on any negotiations neces-
sary, unless it should be deemed necessary to
formulate treaty between this country, Eng
land and Germany, in which case a commission
might be sent.

Judge Merrick's Successor.
HON. JEREMIAH WILSON sUGGEsTED-THE sALAR
nEEIcE

Nun. JEhEh1Ah WlLeON sltGES fED-THE SALARY
OF THE OFFICE TOO SMALL.
In regard to the vacancy on the bench of the
Supreme Court of the District, caused by the
death of Justice Merrick, there is much
conjecture as to whether the Presi-
dent will send in nomination. The
prevailing sentiment of those who
know the condition of the business is that he
should send in the name of some one who
would be acceptable to the Senate. In this view
the name of Hon. Jeremiah Wilson has been
suggested, and that gentleman has been
sounded, but is not inclined to give
up his practice at the bar for
seat on the bench. "The diff
Guilty." said one of the most experienced prac-
ticioners to-day, lis that the salary will not
justify one in active practice taking hold, espe-
cially one in the prime of life. We should have
on the bench some not over middle-age and
with such condition of health as would give
some assurance Of good, long service. Increase
the salaries and then we can obtain younger
men,"

WANT SILVER MADE EQUAL TO GOLD.
Senator Stewart to-day introduced a petition
from sixty-three citizens of the state of yir-
ginia in which the attention of Congress is
called 'to the great depression existing
among the farmers of the country, which is
shown in the general decline in the value of
farms and of our great staple productions.
Believing that this decline of prosperity is
largely caused by the differentiation
OF silver, which has fostered the COM
petition of India with us, with her
low-priced labor in the great markets of the
world, therefore we ask that silver be restored
to its time-honored place as a coequal measure
Of values with gold by such legislation as your
wisdom may provide; also, that due provision
be made against any contraction of the volume
