MR.. HARDIN FINDS rAyLr.
snys the Report About thc Conference
with Senator's Was wrong.


philadelphia, Pa. March 2O.-Some
of the Philadelphia manufacturers who
were present at the conference last
night in Washington with the silver
Republican Senatorsv are dissatisfied
with the report OF the meeting as It
appeared in to-day's papers. They al
lege that the report furnished OF the
conference was in the nature OF an
ex parte one. and did not fairly rep
resent the views of all present.
Among the gentlemen who take ex-
ccption to the report Of the conference
is Charles II. Harding. OF the firm
of Elmer, Hardin & Co.. yarn manufac-
tWers.
Mr. Harding to-day gave out the fol-
lowing letter:
The account given in the morning
papers Of the conference Yesterday In
Washington between the silver Re-
publican Senators and some gentlemen
from this city and elsew whcre. Is not Il
complete statement OF facts and several
persons are thereby placed In false
position. My own experience Is the
simplest Illustration. a gentleman said
to me: MIR. Clark has n letter from
the Republican Senators who voted
against consideration of the Dngley
bill. In which they say they would like
to see some of the Philadelphia manu-
facturers and business men. He does
not know what they have to say. but
they particularly wish to have some
gentlemen who are known not to he
silver msn In the company. Mr.. Dolan,
Mr.. Dornan. Mr.. Dobson and Mr.. Search
are expected to go; will YOU go also?
We do not know what Is to be done, but
think the matter important.
II agree 10 go and meet the party at
the train No one on the train was pre-
pared To say what was to be eXpeC;ed.
When the conference began the silver
Senators stated their reasons for their
treatment of the Dingley bill: said that
II was hual: gave their present attitude
toward all tariff legislation. and annuun-
ced that Il was not to he changed. 1t
must be protection and free silver here
after for them. ana that by virtue of
the position of their constituents. The
gentlemen present were invited to speak
their minds on the situation. Besides,
what was said (and Is repor:cd) by these
manufacturers whose names are given.
supporting the proposition. there were
remarks made In dissent. more or less
vigorous, by Mr.. Crow, MIR. Croft, Mr..
Miller MIR. Vrooman, Mr. Campbell. Mr.
Holmes. and myself Others shared our
opinions. and Mr.. James and Mr.. Flsier
authorize the use of their names as
among them.
The absolute suppression IN the ac-
count given to the press OF these expires
s!nns, and OF the fact that we made
such protest. diycredits all the conclu-
si"ns tina; may be drawn about the har-
mony and influence of the meeting
There was perfect frankness and every
thing was done. OF course, in courtesy
and good humor. hu; to muzzlc SO many,
as Is done by the published report. and
10 put large number In the apparent
position of supporting Il movement which
ihey positively repudiaie, is 10 do us n
serious wrong. 1t may be a smar; game
of politics. bu. it looks very useless
one, II not harmful to the cause these
gentlemen seek TO further.

Col. Lambs Statements Concerning
SIR. Tyler's Charge.

Concerning Congressman TyIer'e

Colonel Lamb. the latter has made this
statement:
1T Is the veriest nonscse. Mr. Tyler
has no harbor bill OF his own and never
would have had one. ! went TO Wash
ington at request of the Chamber OF
Commerce, saw Senator Daniel. AMI
wrote joint resolution. calling on the
Secretary OF War for an estimate for a
channel $50 yards wide and IS feet deep.
from Hampton Roads to Norfolk navy
yard
The Senator promised to answer 1t.
Before this was done 1t was amended OF
the request Of Mr.. Thomas. counsel for
the Atlantic and Danville railroad. by
addressing request for an estimate for
small Improvement in the mouth Of
the Western Branch, which knew our
own commercial community favored.
The joint resolution went promptly
through the Senate and would have
gone As promptly through the House
but il was entrusted TO Mr.. Tyler.
1T was referred 10 the River and
Harbor Committee and ! appeared be-
fore that committee and on being as
sured that they would ask for the esti-
mate. invited them to come 10 Norfolk
to see the necessity of the work.
Had Mr.. Tyler let the Speaker know
why he wanted recognition. he could
have gotten 1t at once, but it seems he
has not yet learned what every Con
gresham Is supposed to know. thai only
the leaders Of the House can get the
floor without previous arrangement"

Grafton's Tug of War.

There is lots of trouble in thi.
world even, sometimes, in electipg
town representative, as the goodl,
people of Grafton found out at the
recent election. 1t was not for the
lack of candidates, Enough of those
were to be had and willing ones, too,
but unsnlmity among the voters seem
ed TO have been the discordant ele-
ment. The uncharitabe might sur
mise that each wanted it for himself
aud thought that the longer the fiuale
was postponed the better would be
the chance of each, that is the matter
was regarded in the light that while
there is life there is hope. That the
voting was spirited is fully attested
BY the fact that at II O'Clock, p. m.
the regulation ballots had all disap-
peared-the capacious nav of the
ballot box had swallowed them up
and without giving forth sound as

others. Here was a quandery that
almost paralleled the case of the
Union army at Cedar Creek with

used up and the printing office u
miles away. There is nothing in this
world more commendable than being
equal to an emergency, and right here
is where Grafton came to the front.
The ballot box was left in charge of
the town hall, said hail being duly
locked and sealed, and the officers
and voters sought rest through the
dreamy hours of nigh in the quiet SOL
itudes of home while the messenger
sped him away TO procure more bal
lots. The next day at l o'clock, p.
M, the ballots having arrived, the
hall was unlocked and the ballot box
being found in its place, no Klu Klux
having demolished it or carried it
away, voting was resumed and with
the same spirit that characterized it
the day before. This was kept up
for over ten hours when the turning
Of the box revealed a choice and 10 .
