It was Just a straw which proved very
SUBSTANTIAL; and / want II distinctly
understood that I had no assurances
wha ever. and merely went on common
rumor that his vote on the force bill was
doubtful. Ne; did not think that exposure
at that time would enhance his prospects. 4"
Mr.. Dockery said he would prefer not TO
give publicly the names Of the two repre-
sentatives who were mentioned, but he
would do so privately. Senator Vest was
the man who gave him the information
about the conversation.
ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT ON THE STAND.
O'Brien Moore, correspondent of the st.
Louis Republic, was the next witness. He
said be had no knowledge personally con-
cerning the silver speculation. He had
heard that Representatives Clunie Of Cali
fornia and Ketcham of New York were
willing to testify that they had speculated
in silver. and that Mr.. Clunie
Peel examined the witness with regard to
publication affecting his (Mr. Pesl'sl ap-
pointment on the committee. The article
said that Mr.. Perkins of Kansas, who was
interested, according to the report, in silver
speculation, had urged Mr.. Peel's appoint
ment, and that the two were close
friends. The testimony Of Mr.. Moore
was 70 tu6 6IeCb blldU MI. Eeel
had told him that Mr.. Perkins
informed him (Mr. Peel two hours before
the speaker announced the committee that
he (Mr. Perkins, had recommended his (Mr.
Peel'sl appointment on the committee to the
speaker.
PEEL CoNFTRMs THE STORY.
Mr. Peel desired to be sworn, and he con-
firmed what Mr.. Moore had said regarding
the conversation between them.
Mr.. Moore further stated that the demo-
Gratis of the House had recommended the
appointment of j. B. Brown of Indiana on
the committee, and were disappointed
when Mr.. Peel's appointment was an
nounced.
Mr.. Peel testified that Mr.. Moore had
urged him not TO serve on the committee
because Mr.. Perkins had recommended bis
appointment, but he said that if Mr..
Perkins expected to be screened by his (Mr.
Peel's) appointment, he had sawed hmt
Off between himself and the tree, for he
would probe the matter to the bottom.

state officers except the controller, to which
the face of the returns indicates that Nicho~

bardment The railroad companies have
offered reward for the apprehension and
conviction Of any person found throwing
stones at the trains, but there have been
but few arrests made.
The orators of the strikers are discon-
tented with the views Of the newspapers in
regard TO the strike, and have baen Willy
ing the reporters of the Glasgow newspa-
pers.s The result is that the newspapers Of
this city have agreed not to report any fu-
ture meetings which the strikers may hold.
