THURMAN IS NOT SCARED.
Such Interviews as Mr.. Whitneys, He Says,
Should Brighten No 0ne-The Effect
the Reverse.

Columbus, o., June 27.-After the in
terview given by Ex-Secretary W. G.
Whitney in New York today, in which
Mr.. Whitney said that there seemed to
be no hope of saving the democratic
party from disruption unless the south
ern and western democrats would listen
to reason on the coinage question, Allen
w. Thurman gave out the following
statement tonight:
There is now going on in this country
an irrepressible conflict between the
British standard gold on the one side,
and the American standard gold and
silver, the money guaranteed by the
constitution, on the other. Shall the
democratic party declare in its platform
that it favors violation of the consti-
tuition, that the people shall not obey 1t
unless the governments of Europe give
them permission to do SO? This is what
all the talk about an International agree
ment really means. This is what the
republican party said at st. Louis.
Shall the democratic party merely echo
the voice of the republican party is q
question that cannot be suppressed, and
which will overshadow all others in the
coming campaign.
eff so, why should we go to Chicago
at all? Such interviews as Mr.. Whit
ney's will frighten no one. On the con-
trary. they only intensity the issue. and
his writing about the dishonesty of those
who differ with him will only make them
more determined. The silver men of the
west and south have long known that
the democrats of Mr.. Whitney's school
would much prefer seeing a gold repub-
1ican president rather than see a silver
democrat in the presidential chair. Mr..
Whitney's interview will make this per-.
fect1y clear to every delegate at Chi
cago, and while all will regret that Mr..
whitney has determined to leave the
party, they will bear 1t rather than to
put their principles into his keeping.

and the subsequent sale of damaged
goods. Since then there has been rush
for the bargains offered Yesterday and
last night especially there was perfect
rush at the Surprise Store. The crowds
going in and coming out gave the block
on Second avenue, between Nineteenth
and Twentieth streets, lively look. The
buyers were composed of all classes
the rich and the poor, the learned and
the ignorant, the producers and no-pro-
ducers. But all of them were alike. in
one respectively were wise enough to
know where to go to get bargains.
The goods at the Surprise Store dam
aged by the fire have nearly all been
sold, but new and fresh goods will be
sold at the same price. Monday there
will be another rush. The Surprise
Store is conducted on strictly business
principles and the people know it.

A CALL,
For a National Conference in
Washington on Arbitration.
The Object is the Establishment Of a
System for Settling Disputes
Between Great Britain and the United
States-It is Desired That All Parts of
the Country be Represented at This
Conference to bc Held in April.

WASHINGTON, March 20.-The follow
ing letter has recently been mailed to
over 1000 representative men through
out the United States:
WASHINGTON, d. c., March IL, 1885,
DEAR SrR:--A widespread desire has
been manifested, both in the United
States and Great Britain, for the estab-
lishment between these two countries
of permanent system of arbitration.
With view to the accomplishment
of that end, we hereby invite you to at
tend national conference, to be held
in the city of Washington on Wednes-
day and Thursday the 22d and 23d of
April, next, to express the general con-
viction that such system of arbitra-
tion should be speedily provided for by
the proper authorities, and with the
most comprehensive application prac-
ticable.
1t is earnestly desired that all parts
of the country should be represented at
this conference, and in order that this
may be assured, a similar invitation has
been sent to representative men, ire
spective of party or creed, in every
state and territory in the United States;
the combined membership of the two
houses of congress being taken as a
general basis of numbers and appor-
tionment.
Assuming that you share our belief
0as to the Importance of the end pro-
posed, we deem it unnecessary in this
communication to enter into an ex-
tended statement on the subject. By
repeated acts, as well as by repeated
declarations, our government has ap-
peared before the world in advocacy of
international arbitration as a measure
conformable to our interests and the
general interests of our institutions, as
well as to the cause of general justice
and civilization. TO this effect patriot
ism, philanthropy, craftsmanship and
religion have spoken as with one voice.
In confning the present movement
to the promotion of arbitration be-
tween the United States and Great
Britain we are not unconcerned for the
wider application of the principle in
volved. But, taking into consideration
the Importance and value of practical
results, it has seemed wise to concen-
trate our immediate efforts upon the
attainment of "a permanent system be-
tween the two great English speaking
people.
Earnestly trusting that we may re-
ceive at an early day your acceptance
of the invitation hereby extended, we
remain, yours faithfully, etc,
The call is signed by Chief Justice
Fuller, Maj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,
Adm. John G. Walker, Hon. John W.
Foster, L. L. D., Hon. Abram S. Hewitt,
and 20 other representative men in the
ecclesiastical financial and business
world

We have gone carefully over our en-
tire stock and find every garment and
suit to be perfect, well made and good
styles. The reason why we did this
was to refute the stories that our 'reli-
able" competitors get up when they
decry our goods. Because our prices
are so very low in comparison to theirs
We make them for our customers ben
eft. Come and see what we can do for
you in this line. Post yourself and we
will sell to you sure.
