That's the Way General Clarkson Sizes 1t
Up-He Says Stevenson Was Far More
Efficient Headsman Than the Present
NEW YORK, June 23.-[SpeciaL CHAIR
man James S. Clarkson. of the Republican
National Committee, with Mrs Clarkson,
arrived at the Plaza Hotel, from Chicago
last evening. Mr. Clarkson said that be
looked in at the Wig@am on Wednesday,
to see how his Democratic friends run their
conventions. Concerning the ticket, Cleve-
land and Stevenson, he said:
at is good one-to beat. think that
the selection of Harrison and Cleveland as
opposing candidates this year will cause
the campaign to be conducted on higher
plane than Presidential campaign has been
for many years. There will, in my opinion,
be less personality and mud-slinging than
usual Again, the fight will be one Of pro-
lection and honest money against free trade
and dishonest money.
II don't think that the Republicans have
much to fear from New York, though take
no stock in the stories of Democratic disaf-
fection here. The affiliation between the
Democrat and his ticket is such that he
never deserts mis- TICKET at the polls. There
is more to be feared by the Republicans
from some of the Western States. where
third party doctrines have taken root, but 1
confidently believe that the Republican
team will come under the wire first next
November.
"Mr. Stevenson having been my prede-
cessor in Office, I have had occasion to
search his record, and therefore know some
thing about him. 1 can tell you that as
First Assistant Postmaster General he
chopped q blanked sight more heads off
than die"
Mr.. Clarkson went to Washington to-
night, to arrange for the meeting of the
Republican National Committee there next
Monday. 81 am not going to serve another
term as Chairman of the committee" said
he, in answer to question. at is most
thankless place. II you win you are
treated with ingratitude, and if you lose
you are accused with being incompetent and
blunderer."

FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

MINNEAPoLIs,Ju June 23.-The Northwestern
Muller says: The mills did moi get out quite
so much flour last week as in the week be-
fore, yet the output was next to the largest
on record. The weeks production was
21O, 4SO barrels, against 214, $50 barrels the
preceding week; 125, $50 barrels for the cor
responding week of 1891, and 80, 500 barrels
in 1890. Two less mills are running this
week, leaving IS in motion, with the daily
output about 80, 500 barrels.
The -four market continues rather dull,
the variations in wheat preventing the
establishment of much confidence. The
domestic trade has fallen of materially in
the past two weeks and were it not for
wheat being sold for export the volume OF
business done would make sorry showing.
Foreigners are buying rather freely. Low
grades are less in request than they were
a week ago, while bakers seem to be sought
after little more.
The direct exports last week were 69,9O5
barrels, against 70, 42O barrels the preceding
week. 1t is pretty certain that the years
work will aggregate $500, 900 barrels. The
direct exports of -four to foreign countries
have also been nprecedentedly large. For
the nine months ended June 1. 2,617, 900
barrels had found foreign market, against
1890 in 1890; 1858, 900 in 1S89-9O, and

He Thinks the Platform Will Satisfy All in
the Manufacturing Districts.
CHICAGO, june 23-Colonel c. H. Jones,
Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions,
and who was also Chairman of the sub
committee in which most of the discussion
of the platform took place. in the course
of an interview on the subject of the plat
form, said:
"As originally drafted 1t would have been
the shortest platform that has been put
forth by the Democratic National Conven-
tion for 40 years or more. Its length is due
to the TACT that number of resolutions were
added bv the committee, and a number of
amendments adopted, each one of which ex-
psnded it.
"How are you satisfied with the tariff
plank as it now stands?" he was asked.
Personally, L prefer it to the one re-
ported by the committee" he replied. 'It
furnishes platform upon which we can un-
questionably gain ground here in the West
believe also that it will prove satisfactory
to Democrats of the manufacturing portions
of the country and where, of course, busi-
ness interests are more sensitive than else
where, to any declaration upon the tariff
question. 1t is simply declaration
of fundamental principles The only
Mckinley law Of course it is
nothing more than Republican device to
pretend that any legislation which the
Democrats in Congress would enact in pur-
suance of the platform declaration would
have destructive effect upon established
industries. The Democratic belief is that
the legislation it has proposed in exemplif-
cation of its tariff reform principles-such as
the Mills bill-would foster American in
dus:ries at home and enlarge our markets
abroad. 1t would not and should not strike
a destructive blow at established and le-
gitimate industries

INDIANAPoLIs, June 23.-Ex-Governor
Gray said, after he heard the news: Il was
not candidate for Vice President and did
not desire the nomination. At meeting
of number of my friends on the delega-
tion. held last Thursday, L informed them
that L did not want them to put me
forward for the Vice Presidency, nor
to make any arrangements to bring
about my nomination. Last Sunday a mes
senger from Chicago came to see me and
said that the Cleveland managers had pro-
posed to give me the nomination for Vice
President if 1 would advise nv friends on
the delegation to vote tof Cleveland. 1 per-
emptorily declined the proposition.
'The office of Vice President has been
filled bv the greatest men that the nation
has produced, and is worthy the ambition
of her most eminent citizens, but for certain
reasons did not desire the nomination.
MY friends pursued the course which they
undoubtedly thought best, and L deeply ap-
preciate their friendship and will ever re-
member their devotion, but am infinitely
better satisfied than 1 would have been if
they had succeeded in nominating me-

Takes tho Campaign Out Of the Mire.

The Boston Evening Traveller (Rep.) says:
The people, without distinction of party,
have a right to congr ratulate themselves on
Mr.. Cleveland's nomination, since it insures
a campaign in which principles rather than
persons will be discussed, and frees the
country from wallowing in the mire of per-
sonal abuse and vituperation which has
characterized so many previous campaigns

ordinary array OF electoral controversies

population SURPRISING the number OF their
white citizens, shall, ry Federal law and Fed

A Lot in That City Which Belongs to the

1t appears that lot of land 15x57 feet,

grandson of William Penn, was Governor
