SENATOR SMITHS VIEWS.
1t Is No Walk Over For Mckinley
Next November.

Senator Smith. of New Jersey, who
declined 10 vote in the National con-
vention, is strong gold man. inter
viewed Wednesday. he said;
There is much more silver senti-
ment in New jersey than is generally
supposed. The agricultural element of
each party is affected TO a considerable
degree by the enthusiasm of the West
ern farmers for this idea. It will be
no easy task TO overcome this enthus-
iasm wherever there is a large agricul-
tural element.
Il cannot foresee a walkover for Me-
Kinley. On the contrary, | am con-
WINGED that if the election were TO be
held next week Bryan would win.
People here in the East do not appre-
ciate the hold the free silver idea has
taken upon the masses of the entire
West and South. They believe they
are right in principle and will be inn
pressed more and more as the cam
paign progresses by the personality of
their candidates.

Mr.. German Commended For His Let
ter--His Mistake Pointed Out.

To the Editor: As a friend of Bry-
am and silver / am glad to see that
the able Senator from Maryland, IN
spite of his gold proclivities has decid-
ed TO support the Chicago nominee.
But [ must express my regret and
surprise that he has been so careless
reader of the history of the coun-
try as his letter, copied in the News
and Observer, from the New York
Journal, displays. He says he can best
EXPRESS his sentiments by relating the
experience of Stephen A. Douglas, at
his first meeting with General jackson.
He begins with the blunder of saying:
LAS every one will remember, Con-
press passed resolutions condemning
General Jackson for his conduct at
New Orleans. Long after this, reso-
luton was offered and passed IN the
Senate ordering that black border be
placed around the resolution of con-
demnation, as it appeared in the journ-
al of the Senate. OF course this order
was carried out, and the black border
still remains"
This is a tumble of errors. In the
first place, Congress did not pass res
olutions condemning the conduct of
General Jackson, at New Orleans in
declaring martial law, and arresting
Judge Hall for attempting to disre
gard it. The Judge imposed a fine on
the General, of one thousand dollars,
after the civil authority was restored;
and Congress for many years refused
to pay the fine. At length the fine
was repaid, after General Jackson
went out of Office.
The "black lines" drawn around the
resolution of Congress. to which Mr.
German referred, were the "Expunging
Resolutions" presented and urged by
Mr. Benton, as early as 1884, for eX-
punging from the journal, a resolution
OF the Senate, condemning the con-
duct of General Jackson for remov-
ing. or compelling the removal of the
public money from the bank of the
United States, and placing it in GER
tain State Banks. The expunging res
olutions were finally passed, after long
debate. as early as 1895, while Mr..
Douglas was barely out of his teens.
The great speech" of Mr.. Douglas,
referred to by Mr.. German, was made
on the bill providing for refunding the
thousand dollars to General Jackson.

QUINCY SEES THE PRESIDENT
His Visit Brings Out a Story That Mr..
Cleveland VIII Knife Bryan.

Boston, Mass, July 15.-Last night
the free silver campaign opened here.
Bryan and Sewall were Endorsed, like
wise George Fred Williams, and 9th
ers. But there was one thing lacking,
and that was the presence of the Hon.
Josiah Quincy, present Mayor of Bos-
ton, and friend of Mr.. Cleveland. He
was invited; in fact, a special messen-
ger had been sent, and the invitation
was nothing more or less than a de-
mand that he come out of his hole and
declare himself either for free silver
or gold. The Hon. Josiah did neither.
But he did take an afternoon train
for Buzzard's Bay, and while old
Fanueil Hall was being coated with
free silver speeches, he and his friend,
the President, sat in the quiet night
and talked things over.
ThOlIon. Josiah returned this morn
ing, but he refused to say why he fail
ed to attend the free silver rally; he
refused to say why he went to Buz-
Yards Bay, and finally, refused to see
anybody But it is stated tonight
that no help will be given Bryan or
Sewall from the White House. In fact,
it is understood from Mr. Quincy's
visit that the policy will be to do all
that is possible to defeat the men nomi-
mated at Chicago.

Mr.. THACKSTON'S VIEWS.
He Thinks That Bryan VIII Garry North
Carolina.

at will be surprising if Senator
Marion Butler does not lift his voice
at the St Louis Populist convention
against indorsing Bryan" said Mr.. J.
w. Thackston, of Raleigh, N. c., at the
Metropolitan to a Washington Post
correspondent.
"If Bryan is indorsed there it puts
Mr.. Butler and others of his class in
the condition of Othello with his occu-
patton gone. When they go over to the
Democracy they have the wind taken
from their own sails and their Job as
professional agitators and kickers is
gone. But whether Butler and his
colleagues like it or not, the vast body
of Populists in the State viii support
the Chicago ticket. The platform suits
them well, even if it is silent on mat
ters like the government ownership
of railroads. There are a goodly num-
Der of Republicans, too, who favor
free silver, and who will abandon Ne
Kinley because of the Republican de-
claration for gold. Altogether there
isn't much doubt Of Bryan carrying
North Carolina"

POSITION OF HILL AND WHITNEY

A special to the Washington Post
from New York says: THE belief APP
pears to be growing among the local
Democrats that Hill and Whitney will
not bolt the Bryan ticket, that they
will content themselves with de-
nouncing the 16 to l plank and some
other features of the platform and
appeal for the election of sound mon
ey Democrats to Congress, and that
they will then accept Bryan for the
sake of being regular If they adopt
this course a general revolt in the
Democratic ranks is likely to follow.

WHAT A PROPHET!

......in the very teeth Of an aggres-
siye administration gold policy, South
ern Democrats affect a belief in the
nomination of a silver candidate for
the presidency and the ultimate restor-
alton of silver as a Democratic meas
ure. 1t seems impossible that any in
telligent man should entertain so
transparent a delusion. The Demo-
cratic candidate will be an avowed
and unconditional gold man.-From
