AN INTERVIEW
Between Senator Hill and n southern
Member of the Elections Committee of
the House.

Between senator hil anu ooutilerh
Member of the Elections Committee of
the House.
SpsctcI telegram 10 the Rs0istst.
WASHINGTON, March 1s.-The Elec-
tions Committee of the House to-day de-
cided by a vote of seven TO one 10 turn
Mr.. Roc ckwell, Democrat, of the Twenty
fourth New York district, cut of his
seat and give the place to MIR. NoyeS,
Republican, and thereby hangs tale.
The Twenty-fourth New York district
is that in which Elmirs, Senator Hills
town, is situated, and Rockwell is a
friend of Hill.
Hill, il appears, interested himself in
the case. After it was heard by the
committee it soon became apparant
that a majority Of the members, includ-
ing, Of course, most Of the Democrats,
were of the opinion, that on the evil
dence, Mr.. Rockwell, the sitting Demo-
cratic member, did not have good title
and that he ought to be disposSeSsed in
favor of NoyeS, the Republican contest
ant. AS soon as Senator Hill heard OF
this, it is charged, he began
to try to influence the Demo
cratic members OF the committee
to change their opinions in order to
save Rockwell. The Senator invited
the Democrats TO meet him, and all but
one Of them, il is understood, accepted
the invitation. That one suspected
what the Senator was driving at. SEN
ator Hill arranged 10 get this member
OF the Election Committee to meet him
in a committee room. When the mem
Der appeared it is said that Senator Hill
undertook 10 lecture him, which the
member, a Southern man, promptly re-
sented.
Mr.. Hill, il is asserted, demanded to
know If the Democratic members OF the
Committee on Elections intended TO
turn a Democrat out of the House. The
member replied that the Democrats Of
the Committee on Elections intended TO
be honest and 10 do their sworn duty,
and II that involved the turning Of a
Democrat out OF the House,
then the Democrat would have to
90. He told Mr.. Hill further
that he had no business to interfere in
the matter and that an attempt on his
part 70 cOerce the Democrats OF the
Elections Committee into following a
course contrary TO the judgment which
they had formed after weighing all the
evidence in this case, was Objectionable
10 the members OF the committee, and
that he, for one, would not entertain it.
By this time both the member and
Senator Hill were angry, and it seemed
to those present that II the interview
was NOT ended at once they might come
into personal collision. In fact, one Of
the gentlemen present said that he
feared the member of the Elec-
tions' Committee would strike the Sem
tor. so indignant was he. but restraining
himself this member told Mr.. Hill that
he thought that they had better discuss
this matter no further, and turning on
his heel left the room.
An effort has been made 70 keep this
Episode from the public, but it has ere
ated a great sensation among those
members who have heard OF IL.

The journey TO this city was quickly
made and with but few stops. The
little city Of Waynesboro, was reached
about o'clock in the afternoon, and
there a very pleasing ovation was tend
cred the distinguished New Yorker.
Nearly the whole population had
gathered at the station, and after the
bahdj had played Dixie, the Waynes-
boro company Of the Georgia National
Guard received the senator with a
salute OF three rounds Of muSketry and
then performed a series Of evOlutions.
The ladies presented Mr.. Hill with a
bOquet, bearing card with the words:
TO Our Great Democratic Leader,
Who Leads But To Victory" and the
recipient bowed his thanks. The Sena-
tor was introduced as "the next Presi-
dent Of the United States. He made a
brief speech. AT its conclusion the
crowd gave three cheers for Hill and
the train pulled out.
10 was exactly o'clock when this
city was reached, and here again was
witnessed scene of great enthusiasm.
So great was the crowd and intense was
the desire Of every individual to get
look az the city's guest thatit took Sen
ator Hill and his party ten minutes TO
force their way through the good
natured throngs to the carriages.
Major j. II. Alexander and CON-
mittee of prominent citizens met the
Senator and his party at the station
and after music by the band the car
riages were escorted 10 the Arlington
Hotel by the Irish Volunteers, the
Cadets OF the knights of st. Patrick
and the Cadets Of the Sacred Heart.

New YORK, March 1S.-This morn

viouS 10 his having written the letter TO
Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, in which he
left IL to be inferred that ii the people
so wiled it he would accept the Demo-
cratic nomination for the Presidency,
he had prepared a letter for the Associ-
ated Press, in which he positively de-
cined 10 be candidate. After writing
it, however, the story went, he was per-
suaded To destroy it.
'Why?" said the eX-President 81

and surely il had penned such letter,
certainly would kdow something about
it. "Wel, well" he continued, $50
they say Mrs. Cleveland induced me to
suppress a letter that was never writ

main fact that Mrs. Cleveland never in
terfereS in political matters in which l
am concerned.
THE only letter / have written OF
late was the one to General Bragg, and
that was written in hurry and just
when l was on the point Of leaving for
my cunning trip. That letter which the
general has seen fit to give TO the press
expressed my views plainly. | did not
think at the time wrote the letter that
it would ever be used in the manner it
has, might have taken more time in
answering"
During the conversation, which was
in the reception room of his isolated
cottage, Mrs. Cleveland sat in the ex-
Presidents private study, which ad-

LINCOLN, NEB., March 1S.-EX-G overnor
Thayer returned yesterday from the inter
ior Of the State and represented himself
much surprised TO find the Thayer-Boyd
Gubernatorial case dismissed and that
his attorneys made no appear
ance in his behalf before the Supreme
Court last Tuesday morning. He says the
United States Supreme Court mandate
was kept from HIM, and his principal coun-
sci, John L. Webster, is blamed for desert
ing his client.
1t is now reported that Thayer will enter
a motion at the session of the Supreme
Court next Tuesday morning TO have the
case reinstated on the grounds that il was
dismissed without his knowledge, and that
his attorneys neglected his interests by
failure to appear in his behalf.

New YORK, March 1s.-"Are the

That is the way the Herdid'S Wash
ington man opens a special to his paper.
He adds: ''If the Democratic House
passes by substantial majority free

lowed by the insertion of free silver
plank in the Chicago platform, it is not
improbable that the year 1892 may wit
ness repetition of the political events
OF 1860, when two Democratic candi-
dates contended for victory, not alone
against each other, but against the can
didates of the Republican and Whig
parties as well. | am assured that
leading anti-silver Democrats OF the
House are considering the advisibility
of such course as the only means of
correctly defining their position on the
great questions of the day. 1t is argued
by these gentlemen that IL would be i'm
possible for any consistent Democrat TO
vote the Republican ticket and by so
doing give his endorsement TO the Nc

action by the statement made by En-
peror William that he did not wish

of the bill after forcing it through the

decided as that Of Baron Won Zedlitz.
