the State OF South Carolina, even if
said brokers were related to the COM
missioner.
Uron the above theory the under
signed company feel very we'll assured
that we are right in exonerating Mr..
Yost, one of our representatives from
any wrong intention or disposition to-
ward the State of South Carolina or
from any attempted corruption or
bribery
We now state 10 you gentlemen the
fact and assure you Of its accuracy
that the prices at which our goods
were sold to the State of South Caro-
lima were from 5 to 20 per cent. less
for the same grades as sold by us to
other large buyers throughout the
United States.
Your committee has asked these
companies the questionsin categorical
form as to whether either OF the under
signed companies have directly or in
directly made to any officer OF the
South Carolina dispensary, any rebates
premiums, commissions, drawbacks, or
other valuable considerations, since
these companies have dealt with the
State of South Carolina up 10 the pres
ent time.
Now, with the exception OF pocket
knives and other little advertising de-
vices, which we send freely 20 any
customer anywhere in the country
we answer NO.
We regret the absence from Cinciu-
natl on account of illness Of our Mr..
Jos. +. PEBBLES. We cannot disturb
Mr.. PEBBLES during his illness. Bat if
there are any other points which you
desire to have covered in correspon-
dence if you will address the letter to
either of the undersigned companies
al Cincinnati you will receive frank,
full and complete answers.
Before closing this letter we wish to
say to you, and through you to the
gentlemen in South Carolina whom
you represent, that we appreciate the
force Of the request that you made
viz. that you Will be furnished with
stenographer and be allowed to ques.
ton and take down in shorthand the
conversation, questions and answers
made on your present visit and inves-
tigation at Cincinnati, Ohio. Various
members of the undersigned compa'
MES, and in factall the gentlemen you
have personally met, were quite will
ing to do this But we have an attor-
ney who is associated with the busi-
ness of both companies and it is upon
his advice that we prefer to answer
these questions in the form we have.
As the reputation of both companies
is high and we desire to keep it so, we
do not desire to have our two compa-
MES made responsible for oy mistakes
in language or accidental blunders of
the stenographers on matters that are
of the greatest importance to US. Be
sides an investigation that would be
inQuisitorial IN its nature and touch
ing upon points entirely different from
the matter under discussion would run
on to great length and would be tedl-
Gus and involve the time Of some OF
our most valuable people.
In truth we feel q great sympathy
for the people Of South Carolina If
they have really been injured by any
dishonest officers and we feel willing
and free to help ferret !: out to the bot
tom.
Now we sincerely hope that justice
will Dc done to al. We cannot help

ricd on In Cincinnati. that IS really
without strict authority of law.

The Republicans are far from being
confident OF their ability to elect Han
mas man Mckinley to the Presidency.
The situation in the doubtful States
has alarmed them, and they are now
claiming States that have heretofore
been conceded by them to Bryan in
order that they might pull their can
didate through by the skin OF his
teeth. To show our readers 10 what
desperate straits the Republicans are
reduced to make any show whatever

"The Webster faction rejected all

afterwards ratified by the full execu

The conference committee came TO-

After several hours of 'dilly daily

accepting the agreement entered into

tied the hands of its conferees by the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the committee OF

allowed four representatives on the
