respondent called on Hon. Andrew Ed
miston late this evening at his office
and asked him IL he was going to the
convention at New Martinsville.
He replied, mo, sir, shall not be

"Why, are you not a candidate for
the nomination for Congress?'
"Well, yes, have been mentioned in
that connection off and on for the last
five months, yet, in the strict sense, l
have never declared myself candidate,
chiefly, however, owing to the fact that
Hon. John o. Pendleton has claimed he
is entitled to another term, hav-
ing once been unseated, and accord
ing to party tradition the claim
is not groundlesss. | have uniformly
said, all things considered and equita-
bly, speaking, Penjleton is entitled to
the nomination, and now, owing to the
bad blood which seems TO have been en-

held responsible, 1 think 1t would be
good party policy to torenominate Pendle-
ton. My name having been banded
about since the State convention In cor

revenge, of which | do not approve l

THE STRIKE is BROKEN

Is the Claim OF President Potter, But the
Amalgamatsd Association Says 1t Is
Not SO And That the FiRht Is just
Begun.
HOMESTEAD. PA, August 1.-One OF
the most eyentful days In the great
Homestead struggle is closing this even
ing with result, that the firm through
Superintendent Potter announces that
twenty-seven of the old men had ap-
piled and been granted their positions,
and that over one hundred men came
in from the East. The influx OF un-
skilled workmen, Mr.. Potter says, has
been so great that to-day he telegraphed
TO send no more for the present. 1--WE
have broken the strike," he said.
That is the company's side. That
there has been dissatisfaction in the
ranks of the locked out men was plainly
to be seen, particularly this evening,
by the excited groups Of men denounc-
ing deserters. The Amalgamated men
are pothing daunteG, however, aud IL is
a rash and unwarranted conclusion that
they will flock at once to the mill. In
stead they worked might and main all
day and night TO check the growing
panic among the laborers and members
OF the mechanical departments, and
they are well satisfied this evening that
they have succeeded, aud Chairman
Crawford said that not only would there
not be further desertions, but that IN
day or so some Of those who did go into
the mill would reconsider their action.
All OF ths % live sin Homestead, and
this evening when they left the mill for
their homes, they were met by commit
tees, who endeavored 10 get them 10
promise not 10 return. No threats
were used. There has been much mis-
understanding among Amalgamsted
men over the question as TO whether
they would be entitled TO strike bene-
fits. 1t was alleged that being locked
out, they would not be, and that iron
and steel workers OF PittsburE and the
Ohio Valley district, now on strike,
would reap the benefit Of the Amalga-
mated treasury. Ga this subject Trus-
tee VIM. T.. Roberts, who is leader
here, announced this evening:
"The Homestead men need not be
alarmed. They will receive strike ben
efits as soon as they Deed them. BY rea-
son OF the fact that they were locked
out on June 90, they need not wait two
months like Pittsburg iron workers, but
can get money at once. The Amalga-
mated Association is confident that
though the fight has but just begun, II
will win, II is in excellent shape TO
prosecute the conflict"
The Advisory Committee states that
this week $1,000 was contributed by
business men in Niles, o., and nearly
81, 500 by the same class at Youngs-
town for the benefit OF the locked out
men here. The workingmen have not
been appealed to yet.

He KnaW Him

The tailor never did know how he
managed to get the young man to pay
his bill, but 1t came to pass In two or
three years that he did, and one day,
perhaps month after that happy event
the young man came in to see him.
..What will you charge me-" he In
ouired, confidently, "for suit of
clothes? Something real nice, don't you
know?"
The tailor calculated for minute or
so.
''Well," he said, 81 guess about
s375."

few open.
ABOUT s375," responded the tailor
calmly.
The young man leaned up against q
pile of cloth TO regain his composure-
How much for cash?" he invuired In
a subdued tone.
The tailor frightened up.
''Oh, about $40 or $50" he said cheer
fully, and the young man walked out.

One Hundred Tramps.

PITTsBURG, PA, August 1.-The Thirty

STRAIGHT OUT DEMOCRACY
Has Carried the Day In A'abama--JOne'
Has Big MaioriIy.


MOBILE. ALA, August $50 far as
known az this hour % p. M the cleo
ton throughout the State has been a
verv quiet one, though great interest
was manifested.
The Register has received bulletins
from twenty-eight Of the Sixty-six coun-
ties in the State, which show hand
some majority for Jones, except In Hale
county. The indications are that Jones
mas carried Montgomery county (his
home) by 5000. Bullock by 1000, and
Talladega by 500.
The evidences thus far are that the
straight ont Democracy has carried the
day, though there Is no doubt that Kolb
has carried few of the remote cOun-
ties.
The expectation was that the vote would
be the largest in years, but the results do
not show that this expectation was real
lied
A conservative estimate places Governor
Jones majority at not less than $4,000.
