I'm Favor of Annexation.

SAN FRANCISCO. May t3.-In interviews
with passengers on the Mariposa from Homo
lulu il is learned that on the 2Sth instant
the Hawaiian legislature will meet and that
the most important question to come before
that body will be the question OF annexation
to the United States From what can be
gathered the proposition seems 10 meet with
considerable favor and it is stated that sugar
planters are working for the annexation OF
the islnnds TO the United States.

THE DEMOCRATS of Norfolk and Dam
vile yesterday followed the wise exam
pie of those of Lynchburg, Alexandria,
Petersburg and Portsmouth, and elect
ed Hill delegations to the State demo-
cratic convention. The object of all
good and true democrats is success at
the next Presidential election, not only
for the good of their party, but for that
of their country, and the wise men
among them know that the only way
to achieve that object is to nominate for
President a man who can carry the
State without thcvo of which no dem
ocrat can be elected. not one whose
ability to carry it is doubted even by
his most sanguine friends.

Other very important matters will
come up. There arc at this time more
than fifty vacant Episcopal churches in
Virginia. This is caused by the draft
upon this State for clergymen by other
dioceses. How to dispose ofthcm is Il
serious problem. A committee will re-
port a practical plan, the details of
which have not yet been disclosed. At
present the diocese tries to take care of
these vacant churches by means ofthrce
cvangclists.
Another matter of considerable con-
sequence will be the effort to repeal
the nineteenth canon. This is the can
OH which proposes to discipline
members of the Church for attending
theatres, public balls, horse-races, Sc.
The contest over the repeal will be Il
question purely legal, some having
doubts rs to whether the dioccses or the
General Convention should legislatc
about such matters.
Another important practical matter
will be the Incorporation of trustees of
church funds. The last Legislature of
Virginia granted to the Episcopalians of
the State very liberal charter upon
this subject. The approaching council
will decide whether or not to accept the

THE VIRGINIA negro Baptist State
convention, now in session at Washing
ton, yesterday resolved that a resolu-
ton adopted by the Southern Baptis.
Convention last May, in reference TO the
negro Baptists, SIS simply ridiculous
and, its authors being sincere but blind
ed by their own prejudices and false ed
ucation, deserve our pity and render it
the solemn duty of all the well wishers
of our common humanity to pray to
God to remove their blindness of mind
and hardness of heart But for the
fact that southern people understand
negro character and make allowance
for its delinquencics, the negro churches
in the South would be by no means as
numerous as they have become.

Hon. George Frederick JJIiijums.
My Dear Sir,-On the occasion Of
your recent speech in Richmond you
are reported to have made references
to the Senators from Virginia and to
have attributed their preference for
some presidential candidate other than
Mr.. Cleveland to personal motives.
The correspondent of the Petersburg
Inder Appeul says you stated that their
opposition was because Mr.. Cleveland,
when President, would not give them
the control of the patronage they de
sired, while the Richmond Dispdtch
has it that you said: when he (NIr-
Clcveland) did not do what your Scna-
tors wanted of him they went back on
him."
Speaking for myself alone I could
hardly believe that you were correctly
reported, us there is no foundation i'll
truth for any such animadversions, and
| write to ask that you will give me =
full and correct report of what you said
that embraced me in its alluson, that |
may not be misled and may properly
notice it. | would also ask that you
give me at the same time the source
of your information and authority for
any statement made by you concerning
myself.
/ have the honor to be very respect
fully your obcdicnt servant,
JOIN w. DANIEL.
P. S.-A prompt reply will oblige
me. ). W. ID.

Hon. John ". Daniel i:

non. oOHE " IUHtet
Ny Dear Sir.-I hasten TO answer
your inquiries of the 9TH instant rs to
the real text Of my remarks in Rich
mond, which are reported TO have been
made concerning you, In point of fact
my references 10 any Senator from
Virginia were entirely impcrSonal. and
| did not know that they had any APP
plication TO the present Senators from
Virginia. Let them speak for them
selves, and l think they will not prove
offensive to you.
l addressed my audience nj some
length upon this themc-viz. that Il e
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland rs 4 candi-
date for the presidency came mainly
from men who were offended because
Mr.. Cleveland undertook when Presi-
dent to exercise his appointing power
in accordance with his own Judgment.
| proceeded Oh this theme about in
these words:
There are in this country from / 900
to 100000 politicians who entertain the
idea that they are involved in pre.i-
Dental election TO the extent of the
administration of the government SER
vice within their districts, great or
small. Mr. Cleveland conceived the
idea that when the people voted for him
they intended to put upon him the re-
sponsibility for appointments to the
public service, and he proceeded to
take that responsibility to the disgust
of all the other would-bc presidents.
To such a point had this evil come, that
Senators of the United States demanded
as a right the dictation ofappoinunents
in their own States.
Il speak entirely without knowledge
of the facts or conditions in Virginia,
but if you had Senator or Senators
during Mr.. Clevcland's administration,
who are now opposed to his renomina-
ton, will wager dollars to doughnuts
that Mr.. Cleveland would not let them
run the offices in Virginia"
At this point the audience made a
demonstration, and remarked to them:
Il guess hit something"
This is the phraseology of my remarks in
their original homeliness as nearly rs | can
recall them.
l dislike to admit it, but it is fact, that
when L spoke these words, was not aware
that either of the present Virginia Senators
was in Office under Mr.. Cleveland, or was now
opposed to him. If there was any personal re-
Election upon you or your honorable colleague
| was unconscious of it,
have not any authority to state, and have
never stated. that you were actuated by per-
sonal motives in your presidential prefer
cnces.
beg to assure you that meant no person.
al reference to you in my words and thank
You for giving me this opportunity to state
the exact facts to you before you make pub
lie allusion to the distorted and false reports
quoted in your letter.
Please make such Use of this letter as you
see fit, and believe me to remain, very re-
specially, your obedient servant,
