 Lynchburg, Va. ssp.. 4-umscd States Senator John ". Daniel has addressed a letter to MT. Carter Glass, editor of the Lyncfburg News, which will be published tomorrow. in which he replies to the in- terview of Gov. o'Ferral, published in the Washington Pest. of last weanes- day.
 Senator Daniel starts oult by saying that there would be no occasion for him saying word respecting the interview, but for the fact that the governor makes an unfounded and unprovoked criticism upon me DalnfeD, and in cor recting thals cnltaeism deem it proper to poin. out some other errors into which he has fallen"
 Senator Daniel quotes the following paragraph from the o'Ferral interview:
 t'Nor could forget aflialt it was Sem ator Daniel of my own state who of- fered a resolution in The senate of the United States commenting g MT. Clevel1nl for his course in connection with Lhe  suppression of the mob at Chicago. This sen.ing vo.e. Yet, if I remember aright, Senator Daniel was member of the committee on resolutions at the Chicago convention when that conmittee de- nounced MT. Cleveland for doing the very eting for which Senator Daniel had praised him. If Senator Daniel raised alss voice in the committee or in the con- vention against this plank I have not heard of dt"

Senator Daniel than quotes the Chicago platform 'denouncing interference by federal authorities in local affairs and to MT. o'Ferralrs statement that it de- nounced MT. Cleveland for the very thing which had praised him. Senator Danial says that by no fair grammatical construction can the plank be so inter- preted that the denunciation of arbi- trary federal interference in local affairs is old time doctrine that this arbitrary interference is the main general proposl- tion and government by injunction the thing being the exclusion of another thrg: that this clause was not regarded by MT. Cleveland's peculiar friends in the convention as having reference to his action at Chicago which democrats in the senate and house had endorsed. that he DanieD never heard from any one at the convention and never surmised that any one supposed MT. Cleveland to be aimed at in this clause.
 'Tn point of fact. Mir. Editor" says Senator Daniel 'as I am informed by you who were present in committee when this clause was passed on. all refer ence to Mir. Cleveland was expressly dis
