WASHINGTON, Nov. 2o.-Although
Senator Cameron. of Pennsylvania,
does not carry his dislike Of the news
paper man in search Of au interview
TO the extent Of contemptnously rel, r
ring to him as one OF 'lhem O.
literary fellows, as his distinguished
father once did, he disiikes being in
terviewed for publication so much til. t
he very rarely meets such a request
favorably. This fact is well.known to
the takers who have been writing so
much tomfoolery about the political
partnership formed between Senators
Jones, Of Nevada, and Cameron, to
promote the organization ola new par
ty with only two principles-the free
coinage Of silver and protection
which is to nominate Senator Cameron
Tor the Presidency in 1896. The build
ers of the story, or series Of stories,
counted upon Senator Cameron pub
icly expressed silver opinions, his
friendship with Senator Jones. and
every mans willingness to become
President, to give an air OF probabili-
~ to their stories, and, Judging from
etters received in Washington from
Ill sections, they did not count in vain.
These stories were first started Just af.
er Senator Jones announced that he
rad become Populist, and soon died
ut. Within the last two or three
days they have been given a fresh
start with many additional details. As
fairy stories they do credit to the inn
giuation of their authors, but as po-
litical information they are simply rot
of the worst sort. 1t can be stated up
on the personal authority Ex-senator
Cameron that he has never at any time
even considered withdrawing from
the Republican party; that he knows
of no possible combination of eircum-
stances that would cause him TO do so;
that he does not expect to be nominat-
ed for President by a silver party, aud
would not accept such a nomination
we're it rendered to him, although lie
iavors a free use of silver as money
and hopes to see the Republican party
lake steps toward that end in the near
uture.
