SET RIGHT.
A Slur Cast Upon the Populist Conven-
ton Is Resented.

The Times has been attempting to say
son,e thing against the parliamentary
work of the late Populist convention. AS
usual that alleged journal does mot
know what it is vainly attempting to
talk about. The following copy Of Il
document with the signatures of
competent witnesses attached will set
tie the question without further discus
sion:
LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 16, 1896.
Prof. Edward l.. Hutchinson, Los Ange-
les, Cal.-Dear Sir: We. the under
signed, in view of the unjust criticisms
upon your conduct as chairman Of the
county convention of the Peoples par
ty, (made for partisan purposes), beg
leave to assure you of our high apprecia-
ton Of your services as chairman and
your knowledge of parliamentary law.
The position of chairman of a political
convention is most trying, and the duties
devolving upon the chairman are most
difficult to discharge.
In all our experience in such matters
we have never known a chairman better
posted in parliamentary law,nor one SO
impartial in his decisions as yourself.
In consideration of the fact that this
was your first attempt as chairman of a
political convention, we beg you to dis
regard the criticisms of political oppo-
rents and to assure you of our desire
that you may be called to still higher
positions where your knowledge as a
parliamentarian may be of still greater
benefit to our beloved country
Respectfully yours,
(Signed) II. c DILLON,

Though ruined, Cdrlen castle sat
proudly upon its steep activity, its dis
mantled and crumbled keep on the sea-
ward summit, its fine castellated gate
way facing landward with stately de-
fiance, and looking up long valley be-
tween chalk hills. 1t made good point
of view from Carlen house, a modern
white mansion on the opposite hill slope,
half hidden by the thick beechwoods,
which. screened by each hill from the
salt sea winds, climbed both hills, the

when Carlen folk gathered double
harvest, one from the fields and another

clustered thickly outside the Carlen
arms and the Castle inn, in company

what once had been, and loopholes in

was level green sword, closely shaven
and shaded by trees; near the gateway
was stone cottage with mullioned win
dows amid much greenery and bloom,
and plot of garden ground. Here
lived the old gatekeeper and his wife.
Another garden, free of the tower
shadows, lay beneath the broken wall
opposite the castellan's cottage; this
was enclosed by wire fencing and led
to a small modern Tudor house built
into the ruins out of old and weathered
stone. This garden had down the mid
