An Open Letter.
% the Editor of the Paris Post-Intellgencer.


To the Editor Of the Paris Post mtegencer:
In late issue of your paper / notice a
criticism of my course in remaining at my
post Of duty instead of coming home " to
give an account of my stewardship" l
do not remember that a single Democrat
in the Eighth Congressional District has
either asked or advised me to come home
to canvass for a denomination. ] have
the confidence in my constituents which
leads me to believe that they would have
called for me to come home, If they had
| thought that my services were more
needed by my party there than here. If
| am willing to trust nay denomination to
the Democratic party without personal
canvass certainly those who oppose my
nomination can not complain.
There is still another reason which has
weight with me, which under the circum-
stances am justified in stating. Dur
ing the absence of some of our leading
members, who are speaking in favor of
tariff reform, Mr., Breckenridge, OF Ken
lucky, Mr.. Rogers, Of Arkansas, Mr..
Springer, of Illinois, and myself, among
others, were pursuing certain parlia-
mentary policy, on the floor of the House,
with a view to attaining certain ends
which we thought important to our peo-
pie. Mr.. Springer had to leave to fill
some appointments as a tariff missionary.
Mr.. Breckenridge also had engagements
which took him away. Mr.. Rogers was
taken sick and had to 60 home, and l was
requested by them to remain and keep up
the fight. l have done 50 up to the pres
ent time, and my intention is to remain
here until Congress adjourns, oruntil my
constituents require my services at home.
My colleagues who went home to look
after political matters had good reasons
for going, while think i had good rea,
sons for remaining here. | hope you will
use your influence to get out full vote
and l assure you that I will, as l always
have done, cheerfully abide the decis.
ion Of the Democratic party, and sup
port its principles and its nominees.
would have been glad to present the is
= sues and discuss them before the people
v if circumstances had permitted, but
must let my public acts plead my caus,
before the people Of my district, belev
ing as / do that the surest road to thei
y continued confidence is to do all in m,
Q power to deserve it. In their ballots OF
the goth they will say whether / hav
n failed or succeeded. You will pleas
publish this in your next issue.
Very respectfully,

An Explanation.

BY way Of explanation we will
be more explicit in the definition
of the term "knifng." knitting,
in politics, we understand to mean
opposing party candidate secretly
or by undetermined means, partic-
ularly when the motive is not a
public-spirited one, but private
greed or revenge, and a knifer is
one who resorts to these practices.
This class of politicians is found in
greater or less numbers in almost
every community ; when they can
not get nominations for themselves
or their friends they do not de-
nounce their opposition openly, but
resort to secret methods to accom-
plish the defeat of their successful
rivals. If this definition of knit
ers is correct, and we think it is,
they are a class whose practices
would need to be only a little more
common to be destructive of all
party cohesion and associated eff
fort, and who deserve the most un-
sparing condemnation which can
be visited on them. The fact that
when they have personal interest
in the success of the party, these
very men are the most clamorous
that everybody shall vote the ticket
straight only puts their conduct in
a worse light. A "bolter" may
sometimes oppose a candidate Of
his party from good motives il
the candidate is unworthy on pub
lie ground-but he does it openly
and in a manly way, but there il
nothing manly about the knifer.

The returns of the election held
in Vermont last Monday indicate
that PAGE, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, was elected by
only $4,000 majority. When Dill
LINdHAM, the candidate of that par
ty was elected in 1887, his majority
was 1856. Take the difference
and we find a loss to the Republi-
can ticket of over $4,000 in two
years Again, fifty-eight Demo-
Gratis were elected to the lower
house Of the general assembly; in
the last House there we're only
twenty Democrats. Last Tuesday
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor in Maine was elected by a
plurality Of only 1926, about half
the plurality OF the party in 1886,
when BURLEIGH was elected Gov
ernor, and about one-fourth Of the
plurality for HARRISON for Presi-
dent in 1883. These losses, sus-
tanned at q time when the protec-
tive features of the MCKINLEY bill
and the purposes of the force bill
are being discussed, tells the story
in plain figures without comment,
and the results in the two States
afford great deal of encourage
ment for the Democrats, while the
Republican leaders will find it very
difficult to explain the situation in
a satisfactory manner without con-
ceding the fact that the people are
opposed to the MCKINLEY bill and
the force bill.

The Southern War Claims Bill.

The Washington correspondent to
the Nashville American in speaking
of the passage of the southern war
claims bill by the lower House of
Congress says:
The bill as it passed the House is
substitute prepared by Congressman
Enloe. The only material amendment
is one agreed upon between Enloe and
Thomas, Chairman of the War Claims
Committee, which provided that the at
tOrney-general shall re-examine the
claims with reference to any new testi-
mony, and if he finds any cause for a
new trial he shall so certify to the court
and the case shall be re-heard When
there is no cause for a new trial the Sec
Rotary OF the Treasury shall pay the claims
on the certificate of the encouragement.
The claims must be acted upon within
six months. The bill provides for the
payment Of claims to the amount of about
$560,000, of which over $150,000 goes to
Tennessee, and large portion to Shelby
County, 1t is thought that the bill will
go through the Senate without any an
tagonism, and during the present session
if 1t is protract ed much longer.
The passage of the bill is due almost
entirely to the manly and aggressive fight
made by Mr.. Enloe, of Tennessee, who
has had the bill in charge. He cheerfully
met defeat after defeat, but defeat never
phased him. He came again and by his
skillful conduct of the bill and courage
Gus stand has won the admiration and
respect of both sides of the House. When
the bill passed to-day he was at once sur
rounded by members on both sides eager
to extend their congratulations

1T has been reported that num-
Der of Republicans will attempt to
vote in the primaries September
90. We advise the committeeman
to be. on their guard-let none
but Democrats vote in the prima-
ries, for no Republican will vote
for Democratic nominee, and no
true Democrat desires to be in any
way bound to support a nominee
who is at all dependent upon Re
publican votes for his nomination.

ton nominated good ticket and
there can be no just ground for OBJ
lection against it by any loyal Dem
ocrat or good citizen, but that the
ringsters and schemers and chronic
grumblers will secretly oppose it.
goes without saying. However,
the convention was conducted by
practical and influential men in

izen can object to and upon which

South Dakota Tin Mines.

Eastern papers are speaking very
highly OF the possibilities of the South
Dakota tin mines. The Galelna, I'm
Gazette, in u long article from which
We make an extract says:
1.-THE truth is that in the vicinity OF
the Black Hills, South Dakota, there
are some remarkably rich tin mines,
and q newspaper, called the Tin
Miner, has been established at Hill
City, South Dakota, to furnish in
formation relative to the mines. Its
editor, Mr.. Joseph Hare, says: Hill
City is situated exactly In the center
OF the tin belt, which is in the shape
of half moon, and is about thirty
miles in length and three miles wide.
We are twenty -eignt miles from Rapid
City, the nearest railroad point. The
richness of these mines is simply
wonderful, and one who has not been
there can hardly believe it, but l state
q fact when | tell you that there is
enough tin on the dumps and in sight
now to supply the United States Tor
five years. As soon as the big mill Is
started at Hill City we shall then be
able to ship the tin out iD bars. Some
of these mines have been pushed down
24O feet, and the deeper the richer.
The vein is eight feet thick and dips to-
ward the east ali angle OF about As
degrees. Some of the mines average
27 25 per cent of metallic tin, and the
whole ledge averages 10 per cent. The
capitalists interested are mostly New
York and English men. The larger
part of the capital is furnished by
New York men,"
