country. They insist that the rate of
duties contained in the former Mckinley
law will protect American manufacturers
and force the consumers of this country
to buy all they need-the necessaries of
life-from the American manufacturers.
They do not propose to allow the foreign
manufacturers to compete with the
American manufacturers. They propose
to force the American consumer to buy
exclusively in the American market; in
other words, compel us to live off of each
other This they claim will bring pros
perity. The republicans, in their plat
form, declare in favor of bimetallism, but
insist that the American people are too
poor and impotent to maintain none
tary system of their own and cannot re-
store bimetallism without the aid of the
European powers. Now, is not this posi-
tion utterly inconsistent with their posi-
tion on the tariff question? In one case
they propose to build a wall around our
country and compel us to live independ-
ent of the world. In the other, they ad-
nit that we are too weak to maintain a
financial system unless we secure outside
aid. | confess that am unable to recon-
cile these two inconsistent and illogical
positions. I will leave it to the republi-
cans and their democratic allies to make
an explanation on this question to the
voters of the country.
The last speaker, but by no means the
least, was DR.. r. M. Cunningham of Br-
mingham, one of the best stump speakers
today in the south. Those who heard
him before had an added treat. Those
who never heard him before will never
fail to embrace any opportunity which
they have in future. He is natural ora
tor, good thinker logical speaker,
and at all times entertaining. Although
the hour was late, none left the hail. The
doctor charmed all by his eloquence and
his wit had silver tip to the arrow that
never failed to find it's mark. His COM.
pliment to the ladies stands unsurpassed.
In arguing the money question such a
logical speech has never before been
made here, and the ideas he enuncated
were heartily applauded. Mobile will al
ways be pleased to welcome his return
and guarantee him full house.
The republican party in its platform
has preferred the following indictment
against Mr. Cleveland and his admins
tration. 1t says: "In administrative
management 1t has ruthlessly sacrificed
indispensable revenue entailed an in
creasing deficit, eked ordinary current
expenses with borrowed money, piled up
the public debt $262,000,0O0 in time of
peace, forced an adverse balance of trade,
redemption fund.- pawned American cred
1t to alien syndicates. In the broad ef
feet of its policy it has precpitated panic,
blighted industry and trade with pro-
longed depression, closed factories re-
duced work and wages, hailed enterprise
and crippled American production while
stimulating foreign production for the
American market. Every considera tion
for public safety and individual interest
demands that the government shall be
rescued from the hands of those who have

In Favor OF Faneuil Hall Crowd.

Boston, Mass, Oct. 1.-THE ballot law
commissioners this afternoon rendered
their decision in the matter of the rival
democratic state conventions-that held
in Faneuil hall under the direction of the
democratic state committee and the one
held in Music hall by the followers of
George Fred Williams.
The commissioners decided in favor of
the Faneuil hall convention. Both con-
ventions nominated Williams for gov
ernor, but he declined to accept the Fa-
neuil hall nomination. This decision
throws out the Music hall proceedings,
but as nomination papers have been filed,
the ticket nominated at that gathering
stands, as well as the Faneuill hall ticket,
which differs only in the choice of one
elector

meeting to October 10, when the PROPOSE
ton for fusion with populists will be con-
sdered. This was declined once, but the
first proposition was in the shape of de-
mands from Populist Chairman Butler.
This one comes as a request from Chair
man Jones. Senator Walthall and many
other prominent democrats favor the
scheme for the good effect it is thought
it will have in other states

Where Is That Letter.

Washington, Oct. Ex-senator Butler,
chairman of the populist national COM
mittee, up to noon today denied himself
to all inquirers. 1t was said by one of the
attaches of the populist committee that,
SO far as he knew, Mr.. Watson's letter of
acceptance of the populist nomination for
vice-president had not yet been received
by Senator Butler. He could not say
when it was probable that the document
would make 1t appearance.
A telephone message from Senator But
ler who had remained at home during
the morning, stated that he had not heard
from Mr.. Watson, nor had ne received his
letter of acceptance. At republican head
quarters 1t Is asserted that the receipt of
Mr.. Watsons letter by the peoples party
committee here in Washington was not
a matter Of doubt, inasmuch as 1t can be
substantiated by evidence supplied by
postoffice registration records. The be-
lief is that the letter is being held back
by the populist committee with view to
securing some modification of its terms
before It Is made public.

Picking Out a Soft Spot.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 17.-George f. WASH
burn and H. w. Reed, members of the
national populist executive committee,
arrived here tonight on their way to see
Thomas E. Watson. They spent the night
here and will go down in the morning to
Thomson. Both Mr.. Washburn and Mr..
Reed declined to discuss their mission be-
yond saying that there were certain po-
litical matters concerning which they de-
sired to consult with Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. Reed said that he signed the recent
address to the populst party because at
the time 1t was the best thing that could
be done. Neither he nor Mr.. Watson was
satisfied with the fusion arrangements
made in the west by the populist leaders,
but Mr.. Reed has come to the conclusion
that an attempt to break it up would in
jure Bryan and the silver cause One
purpose Of their visit to Georgia is to
checkmate the efforts of the republicans
to get fusion with the populists. If 1t
had not, been for Mr.. Watson and Sea-
born Wright, the recent populist candi-
date for governor in this state, there
would have been fusion on congressman
and electors between the republicans and
populists this week

accept the situation when he gets the ac-
count from Mr.. Washburn- A movement

THEY SAY BOIES WILL WIN

Iowa Democrats Confident of the Elk
Governors Success.
DIES MONIES, June 9.-The Iowa dele.
CATION to the Democratic national con-
vention met here to organize and set
afoat the boom Of Ex-Governor Horace
Boies for president. The delegates were
all here in person or by proxy. Ex-
Governor Boies attended the conference

agreed that the Iowa member of the

ously oppose putting anything in the
platform to cause discussion to be led
away from the money question and free
coinage Of silver at 16 to l. The want
only a simple seven-word declaration
favoring tariff for revenue only.
The delegation is very confident of

the solid South and that Mr.. Boies
will also have Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Washington, Nebraska, Kansas and
other Western states. They put his
vote at 275 on the first ballot and $50 on
the second.

NEW BILL PASSED.:
The Senate Acts on the Deficiency
Measure as It Came From
the House.
--'a
Attempt to Tack ON the Bowman
Claims Defeated on a Point
of Order.
House RevOkes Leaves Of Ab-
sence-Bill to Investigate
Seal Fisheries.

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The new de-
lions of the presidents recent veto, was
taken up as soon as the senate met.
Before proceeding with it further con-
ference was ordered on the Indian and
District Of Columbia appropriation bills.
The activity and confusion on the floor
of the senate while minor measures
were hurried through their final stages
indicated the near approach Of an ad-
journment. The large attendance of
the senators overcame the fears that
had been entertained that the senate
would be left without a quorum.
The Amendment Out of Order.
When the deficiency bill had been
read, Mr.. Harris Dem., Tenn offered
an amendment covering the claims un-
der the Bowman act, which had been
omitted in the house bill, although there
was no specific objection to them in the
veto message Mr.. Harris said that in
the former bill, the Bowman claims
were coupled with the French spoliation
claims. He had never examined the
spoliation claims and felt no interest in
them, but these Bowman act claims
amounting to about $500, 900, had been
subjected, he said, to judicial scrutiny
and should be paid as much as any obi
cations incurred by the government.
After further debate the vice president
submitted to the senate a point of order
against the amendment and it was voted
to be out of order
The senate then passed the bill as it
came from the house.

Spanish Authorities Admit Its
Existence by the Use Of Sig~
nificant Words.
General Bradley Denied Admit
lance to Moro Prison Dur
ing Time Of War;
General Lees Arrival in Havana
treasures Americans--His
Mission.

NEW YORK, June ga special to
The World from Havana says: A local
newspaper prints an interview with
| Consul General Lee onithe subject of
| his mission, in which General Lee is
! quoted as saying that he came to inform
himself on the problems presented in
Cuba and would report to Washington
with strict impartiality and justice.
The reasons why he was selected were,
| first, his great friendship for Cleveland,
! with whom he is identified in ideas and
sentiment, and second, having COM
! manded Gen. r. -. Lees cavalry and
been accustomed to reconoitre, he better
than any one is able to understand the
| kind OF war the insurgents are making.
Consul General Lee has visited the sew
+ eral Americans imprisoned in Cuba's
fortress. He found the Competitor men
very wretched and in filthy quarters.
He will apply for their relief at once.
No Formal Charge Yet Mad.
It is reported that no formal charge
has yet been made in the case of
Thomas R. Dawley, the correspondent
Of Harper's.
1t is expected that be will be released
soon. He complains that his arms were
tied behind him when he was arrested,
and that he was threatened with death
because he could not carry baggage
General Melquizo, who had Dawley
arrested, is the same general who is
charged with the responsibility for
many murders of ''pacificos.
Americans in Havana breathe more
easily now that General Lee has come.
He has pleased everybody. His prompt
ness in the Dawley case gives promise
of vigorous administration of the con-
sulate in the interests Of Americans It
may be interesting to know that a
Havana newspaper has already nomin-
ated him for vice president on ticket
with Cleveland
Dawley has been in Cuba for some
time, as correspondent of Harper's
Weekly, and all the recent work in
that journal on the Cuban war has been
from him.
Spain Acknowledges the War.
e Notwithstanding the reluctance Of
the American government to recognize
that state of war exists here. Gen.
eral Weyler and the Madrid govern
ment seems to recognize it. In denying
to General Bradley permission to visit
Dawley in Moro, the captain general
used these significant words: ''Under
Spanish laws, no foreigner can enter a
Spanish fortress in time of war;
The words are much commented on
in Havana. They are commended to
the consideration Of Mr.. Olney.
Another fact Of much interest is the
act of the Madrid government in send
ing note to the powers complaining Of
the alleged use of explosive bullets by
the rebels. Why, since no war exists,
and the rebel government is not reeog-
nized as a belligerent power, should
Spain do this? It is customary for a
government not only to avoid bringing
it's domestic concerns to the attention of
foreign powers, but even to resent any
notice taken by other governments of
it's domestic troubles
