Judge Meredith's Reply to Judge Staples

In reply to Judge Waller R. Staples
interview with reporter OF
the Dispatch published at great length
in that paper, Judge G. V. Meredith
published in the Times a long letter in
which he takes issue with Judge Staples
ON nearly every fact upon which he
based his objections to the re-nomina-
ton of Cleveland, and shows that they
were unfounded. This letter is very
long, and we have space only to pub
lish the concluding portion which is as
follows
CANNOT CARRY NEW YORK;
stYOu next asserted, in strong Ian
guage, that he cannot carry New York.
Pardon me if | suggest that some OF
your friends neither think you "a
prophet nor the son of a prophet" al
though they justly regard you as an
able lawyer.
Admit for sake of argument, and for
that purpose only, that Mr.. Hill is more
popular in New York, do you mean to
assert that because one is more popu-
lar in State than another man, the
nomination? If so, then the voters OF
that State cannot be trusted, even
should they be found asserting, Il am
a Democrat" But, Judge, those OF us
who have time to read the newspapers
know how the delegation from New
York was obtained. And those OF us
who remember little political history
recall the fact that the nominations OF
both Tilden and Cleveland, upon his
first nomination, were as bitterly OPP
posed by factions from New York as
Mr. Cleveland is now. Yet both Tilden
and Cleveland carried New York. We
also remember that the nominations OF
Hancock and Cleveland, upon his sec
ond nomination, were not opposed by
any faction. Yet both of them were
defeated 1t seems that there are a
certain class of voters in New York who
are safer when watched than when
trusted. Would it not be folly for the
Democratic party to be driven off by a
few threats, gotten up for the purpose
of frightening the timid? Ought not
the Democratic party to pursue the
same wise course which it pursued
when it nominated Tilden in 1876 and
Cleveland in 1884, and disregard such
| threats?
You seem to be impressed very
strongly with the IDEA That IL is tne
business OF a party TO get VOTES.
| that pc SO, pray let us take that step
| which Will gather the large dndepend-
ent vote IN New YORK even II they pe
| what you choose to term "Mugwumps.
Ihey Will Iuliy Onset any supporters OF
Mr.. Hill who may prove traitors.
PUBL1c SENTIMENT FOR CLEVELAND.
Judge, you sheer at the idea OF the
great change that Is gong on IN pubic
sentiment In favor OF Mr. cleveland.
You seem to think that 1t IS not real
that 1T is mostly brag. All! Judge, to
entertain such an idea you must have
been assoclatlng good deal with our

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets infamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness Caused by
catarrh) that we cannot cure by taking
Halls Catarrh Cure Send for circu-
lars, free.

HEBREWS IN RUsSIA.-Mr. Chas.
Emory Smith, the United States minis
ter to Russia, who is returning home,
has left Berlin en- route to New York
He believes there is a prospect of d
heavy Hebrew emigration from Russia
this summer, although the prohibition
of the entry of Hebrews into Prussia
would tend to check such emigration.
The Russian authorities are relaxing
the measures against the Hebrews, as
they do not wish to force large masses
of the population to leave the country.
The sum of ITO, 900 reubles were sent to
Mr.. Smith from the United States for
the Russian famine sufferers, and he
handed the money to the Jewish relief
committee in st. Petersburg

THE SILVER PLANK.

In the Democratic platform we will
have either to put in a plank favoring
free silver or we will have to ignore it.
If such a plank be added, surely you
would not expect to carry New York
unless the party shall nominate a man
who has already declared his opposi-
ton to such a measure. With Mr..
Cleveland as our nominee the people Of
the manufacturing and commercial
States would feel safe, notwithstand-
ing such plank.
Should such a plank be left out
What would be the effect of such an
omission Do you suppose for an in
slant that it would deceive the voters
in the commercial and manufacturing
States? Would there be any chance Of
getting their votes, unless we should
nominate man in whom they had
What other candidate has bravely an
nounced his views ON that subject but
Cleveland Then can you doubt
whether in our platform we favor silver
or omit to mention it that it would be
unwise to nominate any man but Mr.
Cleveland if we expect to carry New
York?
You can suggest but one answer in
opposition-namely, that Mr.. Cleve-
lands nor lination will arouse opposi-
ton among the farmers of the South
On the other hand, l believe that the
farmers of the South will take an in
telligent view of the situation.
OUR FRIENDS IN THE NORTH.
Our friends, the northern Democrats,
say to us of the South: 1--WE will help
you to prevent the passage of the Force
bill. We will help you to get relief
from the burdens of tariff taxation.
We will help you to get full and deserv-
ed recognition in all the departments
of our common Government. But our
help will be of no avail to you if you
insist upon measure which will bring
financial ruin to us. Is it fair or Just
in you of the South to demand ali at
once so much? Can you expect us to
be willing to run the risk of bankrupt
cy? Would you not yourselves shrink
from such course? Will you not be
wise and lay aside for the present, at
least, question upon which we are
divided and make the fight upon issues
as to which we are in accord?" Will
the people of the South say: mo, we
including the Force bill, rather than
not insist upon the silver question:
You cannot believe it. Let us give
our people credit for fair dealing and
intelligence. We had better trust to
that than accept almost certain defeat
by nominating one whose views are not
well known on the silver question
There stands but one candidate to-day
whose views are well known ON that
question. He is Grover Cleveland
Then the logic of the situation de-
mands that he be nominated. The
time, the place and the issues at stake
all point to him as not only the best,
but the most "available'' candidate"

O'FERRALL AND CLEVELAND.

o'FERRALL AND CLEVELAND.
After several days, discussion in the
House of Representatives on the
Noyes-Rockwell contested case, in
which the Elections, Committee, of
which Hon. Chas. T. O'Ferrall is the
Chairman, reported in favor of seating
Noyes, the Republican contestant, was
decided in the House on last Friday in
favor of Rockwell, the Democrat, by a
vote of 1913 to 1906 Thirty-nine Demo
Gratis voted to sustain the report of the
majority. There was no break in the
Republican ranks.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore San says
AHIT AT SENATOR HILL.
Mr.. O'Ferrall, who closed the debate
devoted the first part of his speech to
the law and the facts of the case, MAX
ing an able and telling defense Of the
report of the committee. He then al
luded to the pressure that had been
brought to bear in behalf of Mr.. Rock
well since it became known how the
WOuIo ICPo1o III ILLS SepS'
He said he had heard many things
that surprised him. He had even
heard his democracy assailed, but he
did not have to go about the country
with badge on the lapel of his coat
inscribed II am a democrat" His
democracy was too we'll known for that.
At this indirect hit at Senator Hill
there was tremendous uproar on the
floor of the House, republicans and
democrats uniting in applause, while
some of the avowed friends of the New
York Senator looked rather uncom-
Portable. Continuing, he said it had
been charged that he was warped by
his preference for the nomination of a
certain distinguished man for the pres
idential nomination. He denied that
this preference had anything to do
with influencing his action.
REFERENCE TO CLEVELAND AP-
PLAUDED.
"But,n he said, II do prefer certain
mana great big man; lion, not a
fox; man who stands head and should
ers above all other democrats in this
Countrywide great and grand Grover
Cleveland, who is not bounded by any
State lines; whose patriotism knows
no North, no South, no East, no West,
but covers one country under the folds
of the same flag" The applause that
followed this reference to Mr.. Cleve-
land was loud and long and extended
from the floor to the galleries.

Never before has so large a percent
age of the crop been exported, and the
inference is that the old crop must be
pretty well exhausted. Last year the
shipments were very large in April,
