Senator Berry Writes Governor Jones
That he Will not be Able to
Meet Him at Hamburg.

Gov. Dan. W. Jones announces that
he will formally open his senatorial
campaign at Hamburg January 10, On
January / he addressed Senator Jas
n Berry rs follows:
Although have heretofore publicly
stated that l would be candidate for
the United States Senate, | take this
opportunity to advise you directly that
will make the race.
''In view of the fact that some OF the
counties are to vote in this matter early
in the present year. | shall begin my
canvass before the Democracy somewhat
earlier than I had intended. have
been invited to speak at Hamburg or
the 18th inst. and to discuss my candi-
dacy and position upon the public
questions at issue, and have accepted
the invitation. | should be pleased to
meet you there In joint debate on that
day, and respectfully ask that you ad
wise me IL you will be there. / shall
continue my canvass from time to time
in other parts Of the state, and would
be glad to meet you on all these occa
sions. II it is your desire to do so, and
you will so indicate to me, | will take
pleasure in giving You ample notice OF
my appointments. Trusting that 1t shall
be my pleasure to have you meet me in
Joint discussion and awaiting your
answer, am very truly yours.
Senator Berry replied as follows, his
letter having been received Saturday
evening:
II have Just received your letter of
the 1st Of January You state that 1t is
your intention to begin your canvass for
the United States Senate at Hamburg
on the 18th of January, and that you
wish to continue your candidacy from
time to time in other parts of the state,
and that you would be glad If | would
meet yoa on all these occasions, and also,
that if | desire to do 80 you will take
pleasure in giving me ample notice of all
your appointments. | thank you for
the letter.
1T is impossible for me to be at
Hamburg on the 18th of January. The
house bill to establish the gold standard
and retire the greenbacks, to which l
am very much opposed, is now under
discussion in the senate, and / feel it my
duty, for the present ut least, TO be
here. Whether or not | will be able to
meet you at the other places it is i'm
possible for me to say until know the
dates of such appointments and also the
condition of public business in the
senate, If you will, as you suggest,
kindly notify me of other appointments
that you propose to make | will be very
much Obliged. l will be glad to come
II | can do 80 without neglecting my
duties here -

On Both Sides.

II appears that Gov. d, W, Jones has
been upon both sides OF the imperial
question during the year 1899, Here Ia
what the Batesville Guard says on
this question;
"Some time In the early part Of the
year, the Governor used the following
language In an interview published In
the Arkansas Democrat with regard
TO the Philippines, which constitute the
only territory involved In the issue Of
expansion;
1--WE should demand the cession OF
coaling ports In the Philippines Of which
Manila should be one, 70 strengthen our
Asiatic trade relations. SO far a. exer.
cising governmental functions over the
Islands, | do not consider II feasible or
expeaient, further than to control as
much territory 2s may be necessary for

Fusion In Kansas,

According to the Hon 4. r. Ridgely,
the Populist Representative Of the Third
Kansas district, IN Congress, the fusion
forces are certain to give the electoral
vote Of the SunAower State TO the Demo

intention not TO co operate with the
Democrats again this year is all moon.
shine, said Mr., Ridgely TO /" Times
reporter yesterday. ION all national
issues fusion never WAS as strong in
Kansas as II Ia today. There IL some
division on purely local issues, and the
recent Republican victories In Kansas
were entirely due to the apathy among
our people, caused by squabbling over
local questions, mainly the distribution
Of the Offices. The Republicans have
made no material gains anywhere In my
State over their vote OF 1895, and the
administration currency bill will cause
a falling of In their strength In all parts
Of Kansas, Bryan or any other good
Western Democrat will get tho electoral
vote Of Kansas this year by an increased
majority. Next to Bryan, Stone, OF
Missouri, would be acceptable TO the
