perS of the conference yesterday in
Washington between the silver senators
and some gentlemen from this city and
elsewhere is not a complete statement
of facts. and several persons are thereby
placed in a false position. My own ex-
perience is the simplest illustration. A
gentlemen said to me: Mr.. Clarke has
a letter from the republican senator's
who voted against the consideration of
the Dingley bill, in which they are said to
look to some of the Philadelphia manu-
facturers and business. He does not
know what they have to say, but they
particularly wish to have some gentle
men who are known not to be silver men
in the conference. Mr.. Dolan, Mr.. Dor
Ian, Mr.. Dobson and Mr.. Searcy are ex-
pected to go. VIII you go also? We do
not know what is to be done, but think
the matter important
Il agreed to go and meet the party at
the train. No one on train was pre-
pared to say what was to be expected.
When the conference began the silver
senators stated their reasons for their
treatment of the Dingley bill; said that it
was final; gave their present attitude
toward all tariff legislation and announce
ed that it was not to be changed. 1t
must be protection and free silver here
after for them, and that by virtue of the
position of their constituents. The gen.
tlemen present were invited to speak
their minds on the situation. Besides
what was said (and is reported) by those
manufacturers whose names are given,
supporting the proposition, there were
remarks made in dissent more or less
vigorous by Mr.. Grow, Mr. Croft. Mr..
Miller, Mr. Nrooman, Mr. Campbell, Mr..
Holmes and myself. Others shared our
opinions, and Mr. James and Mr.. Fisler
authorize the use of their names as
among us.
THE absolute suppression of the ac-
count given to the press of these express
sions, and of the fact that we made such
protests, discredits all the conclusions
that may be drawn about the harmony
and influence of the meeting. There was
perfect frankness and everything was
done, of course. in courtesy and good
humor, but to muzzle so many, as is
done by the published report and to put
large number in the apparent position
of supporting a movement which they
positively repudiate, is to do us a serious
wrong. 1t may be a small thing in poll
tics, but it looks very useless, if not hurt
full to the cause those gentlemen seek
to further c. H. HARDING"

and Will Certainly Carry Conecuh
County.

Evergreen, March 20.-(Special.)-A
large and enthusiastic audience greeted
Captain Johnston at the Savage opera
house here today. He spoke for almost
two hours and nearly every period was
loudly applauded. The captain did not
have a word of abuse for any one, but
made a strong, earnest and unanswer-
able democratic argument, and his visit
here has certainly strengthened him in
Conecuh county. And as certain as the
convention meets he will have the dele
cation from here. Captain Johnston will
go from here to Brewton, where he will

ABSOLUTELY PURE
COL LEW GINGER.

The gentleman who Is managing the
big fair for the G. A. r. has a most
interesting history. He entered the
army in 1861, at the tender age of 14h
years, and served through the entire
war. His regiment was attached to the
famous 18th army corps, under General
Phil. Thomas, the Rock of Chica-
maugua,' and participated in AZ en-
gagements. At Chicamauga he was Or
derby for Gen. e. A. King who COM
manded the Second Brigade. Fourth di-
vision 14th corps and was with that gal
liant officer on the goth day Of Septem-
Der, in the bloody battle when he (Gen.
King) was killed. At the close Of the
wal Col. Ginger travelled in foreign
lands for nine years and in that time
visited almost every country on the
civilized globe. Eight years ago he
commenced this work for the G. A. R.
and in that time has placed in their
funds we $4,000. He Is known
among the old soldiers Of the west as
the Good Samaritan Of the Grand
Army of the Republic. The enterprise
here will doubtless be the greatest Of
its kind ever held in the state. The
committee believe now that every tick
ct will be sold before tae opening night.

HE DEFINES CONFIDENCE
MAJOR M'KINLEY'S LOGICAL AID
DRESS TO THE WEST
VIRGINIANS.
"A Republican Has No Embarrassment
in Speaking to an American Audi
dience-He Need Not Have a
Different Speech for Each Locali-
ty'-Political News Generally.

Canton, O., Oct. I'm the course Of
his response to the West Virginia and
Huron and Seneca delegations, Major
Mckinley said:
"A republican has no embarrassment
in speaking to an American audience.
He does not have a different speech for
each different locality. What w should
say to the people of West Virginia or
any other state Of the south we could
say in New England or in the far west,
or on the Pacific coast, for the princi-
pals of the republican party are as ma
tional as our flag. Our purposes m
braces the good Of every American in

the country is the lack Of confidence.
AS to what has brought about the lack
of confidence we may differ, but that
there is a lack Of confidence every citi-
zen everywhere must concede for every
citizen has felt 1t in his own experience.
What is the thing called business con-
fdence.' 1t is a belief in the stability
Of values, faith in our markets and our
money, faith that the consumption next
year will be Is great or greater than the
present one; faith that men will have
work and that the currency of the
country will be fixed and stable and un-
d~eprecia.ing in value. The merchant
has confidence when he stocks his
shelves with more goods In expectation
Of larger sales. The manufacturer has
confidence when he his ma
chinery and hires more men, adds a new
factory. or lays in his material in ad-
vance. certain hat it will not decline
before the finished product Is cold, con-
ndent he can pay wages to labor and
prices for raw material and not find in
the end goods to be driven out of the
American market by foreign goods I'M
der a free trade policy. The laborer
feels confident when assured a steady
employment. He buys a lot and starts
the building of a house for himself and
family. The farmer feels confident that
what he reaps will be in demand and
bring him a fair return for his toll.
When confidence is shaken, mkfor-
tunes come not singly but In battalions
and suffering falls on every commun-
ity. No part Of our population IL e1-

eventful day. From dawn to dusk the
nominee sped across West Virginia.
from Charleston to the Ohio river, stop

OF Importance and then along the Ken
lucky banks to this city. Arriving
here at 6:45 he was mex by q local COM
mittee and members of the Duckworth
club. At music hall the biggest meet
ing tonight was held. At the conclu-
sion of his speech there he addressed
two other successive meetings from
stands erected at street corners, to
crafty thousands who could not gain
entrance to the hall. Then he visited
Covington. The hall was 80 thickly
packed with people 1t vas next to i'm
possible to move. Even the aisles were
clogged with standing men and women.
In the beginning was started what
looked like an attempt to break up the
meeting but it was quickly suppressed
and thereafter the candidates utter
ances were greeted with utmost enthu-
siasm. The disturbance was created
by a gang OF roughs in the gallery. Bry-
an appeared upon the stage at 500 and
an ovation greeted his appearance
which continued without abatement
for eight minutes.
