DOES NOT sEE HARD TIMES.
GOV. Mckinley tn. Author OF the High
Tariff Law Endorses Cleveland.


Buffalo, n. Y, May Gov Ne
kinley, cn route to Columbus, Ohio,
from Boston, stopped in this city a
short time to-day In an interview
published by the Times this after
noon the governor said: There Is 40
danger of panic or any danger of
serious alarms. Ii is one of the
little tiurries liable To come upon
the people and an administration at
any time. They come like the thief
in the night. People at times create
a panicky condition of affairs, when
they is eally no occasion for IL. The
most dangerous of il all is the effect
il has on the poorer classes. They
grow inpatient and take their money
from savings banks. These things
are always unfortunate, especially
so when there is no apparent reason
| for it.
Il don't credit this talk about hard
times. This country has too many
resources and too much money.
Besides that, the people irrespective
of party affiliations have too much
confidence in President Cleveland.
They would stand by and hold up
his hands in every possible way
needed.
The President and Cabinet are in
a better position to know the cause
and effects OF stringent money
market than any of their critics.
They have the means within their
grasp of getting at the true con
dition Of affairs. If necessary he
could convene Congress for the
repeal and enactment of such meas
ures as would give any needed
relief. There is no question about
acting when he and his advisors
deem it necessary. In my judg-
ment the duty of the people at this
time is to continue IN the even
tenor of their ways and all will
come out well and right"

of their making common cause next

1t is no evidence at all for it is a

lowing words:
EXECUTIVE MANSION. May 5.
II has become apparent. after two

heretofore promulgated regulating

wholly failed in their operation.
The time under which those rules
was set apart for the reception of
Senators and Representatives has
been almost entirely spent IN listen
ing To applications for Office which
have been bewildering in volume,
perplexing and exhausting in their
iteration, ana impossible of remem-
brance.
A due regard for public duty. which
must be neglected if the present
conditions continue. and an observ-
ance of the limitations placed upon
human endurance, oblige me to de-
cline from and after this date all
personal interviews with those seek
ing appointment to office, except as
|, on my own motion, may especially
invite them. The same considera-
tions make ii impossible for me to
receive those who merely desire to
pay their respects except on the days
and during the hours espe cially des-
| ignated for that purpose.
| earnestly request Senators and
Representatives to aid me in securing
for them uninterrupted interviews

stituents and friends when visiting
the Executive Mansion during the
hours designated for their reception.
Applicants for office will only pref

The Best Line to Ship by-A Letter from

Association.
Especial Cor. to THE CAUCAsIAN.)
| am in receipt Of circular letter
from the Secretary of the ''Truckers
and Produce Association" advising
truckers not to ship by the A. c. D..
Line. His reasons are as follows !:
This Line terminates at Jersey City.
The Hudson river divides New York
and Jersey City. This Line has
heretofore delivered all truck on the
New York docks, greatly to the con-
venier ce of receivers and dealers, by
means of great floats. The New
York docks gratuitously furnishing
room to commission men to sell this
truck to all dealers. This season
this Line refuses to deliver this truck
in New York. If we ship by this
line we may expect to pay carriage
on every package. He advises US to
ship by A. G.. L., this line is by way
of Norfolk, thence Old Dominion
Steamship Company.
We have an excellent reason tt
adopt this line this season. The on,
assigned above is sufficient within
itself, but there is one other that
shall give as Secretary of ''The E
C.. Truckers Association" and tina
is this: When our Association ask
ed for fruit train, the officials o
the w. & w. R. R. and all other con
Meeting lines, until we struck tina
i Pennsylvania line, were willing an,
anxious for said train. The Penn
says NO, it can't run over our line
This same line says no, we will no
deliver goods in New York. The A
