Baltimore. Aug. 1.-The sensational IN
terview between United States Senator
German and State Senator Hayes, which
took place just before the state demo-
cratic convention met. and which was
briefly outlined in these dispatches yes
terday. has excited wide interest and has
put all the city politicians agog. The
News, democratic afternoon paper, to-
day prints what is asserted to be an ac-
curate report of the stormy session.
According to this report, Mr.. German
sent for Mr.. Hayes and asked him, In
view of the grave crisis which confronted
the Democratic party in Maryland. 20
withdraw from the contest. AS a reason
for his request, Mr.. German stated that
Free" Rasln the Baltimore leader, was
unalterably opposed TO him (Hayes) AMI
without Rasins votes nothing could be
ACCOMPLISHED in the way of defeating
the nominee of the Cleveland democrats
Judge Fisher Senator Hayes is quoted
as replying to Senator German in these
words:
DO you think you can fool the people
into believing this, Arthur German? DO
you think that they will believe for mo-
ment that you could not do as you wished
with this convention, and have had me
or any other man nominated, as well 5s
John L. Hurst who has always been
against the Issue on which we have fought
and won this campaign? Do you imagine
for q moment that any one will believe
that you have been doing anything bur
deceiving them all the time? Why, you
know that at least eight Of the city dele
gates will leave Rasin and vote as you
order. You know this Is all true and yet
you bow to Rasn and allow him to sell
the nomination and defy the popular will.
You repudiate the issue on which you
have won and expect to delude the people
again, as you have deluded them before.
You will not be warned?
You have made mistakes before, and
have recovered from their effects. From
this you can never recover. You will drag
down the party and bring it TO defeat by
your treachery. The party can recover
from its defeat but you never can.
Here Senator German, who had become
pale with rage, attempted 10 interrupt Mr..
Hayes, but the latter continued:

If you swore to IT, Arthur German, l have
stood up for you and defended you for
years, when you were attacked. am one
of the few men who have always believed
YOU to be true When some of my friends
even limited at possible tredchery on your
part have spurned the very thought and
would not believe It. Now / know that no
deceit, treachery or baseness is too great
for YOU. You have crowned at last long
career of double dealing, treachery and
falsehood by this act Of infamy By your
course to-day you will bury yourself be-
vond resurrection. / am only sorry that
YOU will bury the party with you. But the
party can live, while you, overcome by
your treachery and falsehood, will meet
with the fate you deserve. ] am no tool
nor puppet TO be fooled and triied with,
and l want nothing more to do with such
a man as you
You have posed as In favor Of reassess-
ment and have used me for your base
purposes II you had given me a few more
hours to expose your nefarious schemes.

know OF your deception l despise your
methods and do not fear you or your
henchmen. / am determined that II / can

party shall end with your nomination Of
