FAVOR BLAINE'S IDEA.
SENATORS FRYE AND HALE COME OUT
STRONGLY FOR RECIPROCITY.

Free Sugar should Open Up the Spanish
Colonies TO American Manufactures
Congress May Yet Act Upon the sug-
gestion This Session.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DrsPArcH.f
PORTLAND, August 23.-Senators Frye
and Hale have come out fat-footed in favor
OF Mr.. Blaine's reciprocity scheme. To-day
Senator Frve said: ''I have for years been
favorable to reciprocity with the countries
south of us. Free coffee, sugar, hides and
one or two other products would have OBJ
tanned for us free entry into the Gen.
trail or South American Republics of
an enormous list of products of the
farm and factory. Coffee and hides have
been made free without attempt to obtain
reciprocal advantages. Now comes propo-
sltlon to place sugar on the free list. Can
we obtain any advantage for the people ex-
cept that of free sugar in the process of
making it free? think we cannot to
publics, for their production OF sugar is
small, though capable of increase, but from
Cuba and Porto Rico, am of the
opinion that Spain would, for the, ad-
mission of her sugar to the United States,
admit free to those colonies OF hers all
products of our farms, provisions, lumber,
coperage, many manufacturers of iron and
wood, etc. believe, too, that Spain would
agree that determination should be made in
favor Of our vessels engaged in the carrying
trade between our ports and those OF her col
onies. The attempt is at least worth max
ing"

countries adopted in some form be-
fore the session ends. No suggestion
from any public man for many
years has evoked so strong and SO
general expression of approval as this of
Secretary Blaine's, and there can be little
doubt OF its adoption by Congress. 1t would
benefit the United States by stimulating an
exchange of products which do not compare
with each other in the different countries.

How Delamater Talked Over Independent
John Stewart n Year Ago
ESPECIAL TELEeRAM TO THE D1sP AroR,
BEDFORD SPRINGS, August 23.-Dela-
matters recent visit to Chambersburg as the
guest of Judge John Stewart recalls to mind
a mysterious conference held by the two
gentlemen at the Springs Hotel or the 9th
of August 1889. The conference lasted
over an hour, and it was noticed that most
of the talking was done by Delamater. It
is believed that at that meeting the present
Republican leader won Judge Stewart to
his cause.
Immediately after the gentlemen parted
the writer asked Judge Stewart if the con-
terence had any political significance.
"You know am now on the BENCH" said
the ex-Independent, "and it would not be
proper for me to iscuss political questions.
But" he continued, "if 1 were otherwise
situated could give you points for an arti-
Gle that would, published at the proper
time, cause sensation"

CHANCE FOR HIS LIFE.

Murderer Smith IL Reprieved TIL November
by the Governor.
Governor Beaver yesterday sent a reprive
for William b. Smith to the Sheriff. Smiths
execution had been fixed for next Wednes-
day, August q. The Governor has now set
it for November 26. Smith is in Di1mont,
where he was taken on the order of Judge
Magee on the report as to his insanity made
by two members of the commission ap-
pointed to examine him.
Sheriff McCandless presented the papers
in the case to the Governor and succeeded in
obtaining the reprieve for Smith. There is
considerable conjecture as to what will be
done, if, when November 26 arrives, it is
still insisted that Smith is insane.

ESPECIAL rKLReRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
INDIANAPOLIS, August 23.-The cam
paign in Indiana this year promises to be
one of the most interesting in the history of
the State, especially for an off year. The
Democratic State Convention will meet next
week, and two weeks later the Republicans
will convene in the same capacity. The con-
ventions will nominate full State tickets,
with the exception of Governor, Lieutenant
Governor and one or two minor officers, who
are, with those named, nominated and elect
ed every four years.
Aside from the State tickets the most i'm
portant feature of the campaign will be the
struggle for the United States Senatorship.
Mr.. Voorhees, term expires next March,
and he is the only Democratic candidate.
The Republicans have no avowed candidate.
Attorney General Michener, who is Also the
Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee, is supposed to have an ambition
for the seat, but ne is not regarded by the
thinking men of the party very seriously.
The unknown factor in the Senatorship
problem is the Farmers Alliance. The or
ganizatiop has assumed such large and in
1uential proportions in this State that it
will likely determine indirectly who the
next Senator shall be. The only hope of
the Republicans this year lies in the difec-
tion OF the Farmers Alliance. The admin
istration has succeeded in making itself
thoroughly unpopular in Indiana, and if it
were mere test of strength between Demo-
cratic and Republican parties the latter
would suffer an unparalleled defeat at the
polls in November.
Chairman Michener sees this and anti
cipates nothing else unless some sort of q
combination can be made with the leaders of
the farmers organization. Just now he is
on the lookout for one or two popular farm
ers, members of the Alliance, who will con-
sent to do service on the State tickef. The
Democrats, however, block this scheme by
heading their ticket with farmer and Civ
ing him the nomination for Secretary of
State. In the Democratic counties the Re-
publicans have said to the farmers: "You
make your nominations and we will not
moke anv, but we will support whoever you
name" They then agree to give all the
county Offices to the farmers, provided they
name Republican farmer for the Legisla-
ture. By this means they hope to defeat
Senator voorhees,. This scheme has been
worked successfully in many of the most
pronounced Democratic counties of the State.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
GENERAL GRosvERNoR TALKS PLAINLY
TO THE COMMISSIONERS.

He Asks n Number of Pertinent Questions
and Wants to Know Why Applicants
for Whom There Are No Positions Are
Examined.
WASHINGTON, August 23.-Representa-
tive Grosvenor, of Ohio, to-day appeared be-
fore the House Committee on Reform in the
Civil Service Some time ago Gen. Grosvenor
delivered speech in the House upon civil
service reform which attracted wide atten-
tention and called forth denials as to the
accuracy of some of his statements. The
purpose of the General in appear
ing before the committee was
to answer these criticisms. He stated
that he was not an opponent of civil SER
vice reform, but believed in the merit sys-
tenn. He insisted that his assertion
that no man or woman had been
appointed to position from his
district was strictly true, though
many had passed the examinations, and re-
peated the statement made in his speech that
the commissioners induced persons to take
the examinations when they knew there was
no chance whatever of their appointment.
General Grosvenor commented upon the
action of the commission in advertising
throughout the South that examinations
will be held for positions in the, Pension
Bureau under the law providing for ad-
ditional clerks. He desired to know
if clerks in other branches of Govern
ment service could be transferred to the
Pension Office for the new work. He had
received many protests against what he said
seemed to be an attempt to drive Northern
men out of the bureau. He would not, he
said, lower the grade of fitness for the posi-
tions in the civil service, nor would ne dis
charge a man because of his political
opinions. He would abolish the Board OF
Commissioners. Its formation was not con-
templated by the Constitution, and he
would have a system OF examination some
what analogous to that in vogue in the Census
Bureau.
Commissioner Roosevelt replied to Gen.
eral Grosvenor at some length, and chal-
lenged the charges he had made against the
commission.
