over, il would take about fifteen months TO
complete It's coinage, and in the meantime
Of course no more bullion would be pur-
chased.
AS the visitors were leaving Mr.. Clifton
Breckenridge, Of Arkansas, called. He had
received an invitation. He was asked TO
stay to dinner, it then being Mr.. Carlisle's
dining hour. On their way to the table he
apolOgizsd to Mr.. Carlisle for his late
arrival by saying that he did not receive his
invitation until late hour that afternoon.
Mr.. Carlisle assured Mr.. Breckenridge that
he had not sent him any invitation, where
upon that gentlemen fshed the invitation
out Of his pocket and presented it to his
host. Mr.. Carlisle produced the note he
had received. Mutual explanations fol-
lowed.
When the compromise measure agreed
upon at the remarkable conference was
brought to the attention Of the silver men
in the house yesterday, it met with their OBJ
jeCtion, but this would not be effeotiveif q
special order for it's passage could be OBJ
tanned from. the committee on rules, and
this, in turn, amended so as TO allow of the
insertion Of a cloture rule. As st least six
OF the democrats who were at the confer
enCe had voted for the previous question and
were willing to vote now ON the opposite
side, the anti silver men felt hopeful of se'
curing the adoption of oloture rule for the
new proposition. They hugged this delu.
sion TO their breasts until late in the after
noon, when a canvass Of the house indicated
very plainly that the republicans would vote
almost as aunt against it.
AS soon as they learned this fact, the
Rnti-silver men virtually gave up the fight.
Even with the aid of thirty-6vs republican
votes at the last endesvor to get up the sill
YER repeal bill, the friends of the latter
measure lacked nine votes of a majority,
and they could not hope to gain on the dem
OOratiC side enough votes to make up for the
republican losses.
In order to fully appreciate the true
inwsrdness of the above it is only neces-
sary to fully identify the Mr.. Kenney
and Josiah Quincy who seemed to figure
so prominently in the arrangement of
this Sunday conference. In dong this
] will let Mr.. Kenney identify himself.
In the Post Of February % / find the
following card over his own signature Of
which I am willing to give him and the
Economist the full benefit:
GARD FROM MR.. .KENNEY.
EDITOR Posr:-The statement printed in
the Post of this date, connecting Mr.. Josiah
Quinoy's name with the Economist, is an
unmitigated fslsehood. Speaking for that
gentleman, and as a stookholder in and
treasurer in the Economist company, dis |
tinotly state that Mr.. Quincy has not one
dollar Of interest in the Economist, and is
in no manner, shape or form associated with |
its management. Personally can afford to |
pass over the balance Of the statement
above referred to, written evidently With the |
purpose Of placing me in an unenviabIe |
light in the eyes of certain public men.
HORACE KENNEY.
The Shorehsm, February 81.
Mr.. Quincy is the Doodle agent of the
national democratic committee. Taking |
this matter together with that which
appears in another column, embodying
the correspondence of Mr.. Clayton, and
both the status and the character of the
Economist seem to be pretty we'll set
tied. Let it be added that the national
executive committee of the Farmers
Alliance and industrial ITnion No lon0aP
