From Hon. James H. Pou.

From Hon. James H. Pou. |
Mr.. Editor:
Ihav cad the letter of Mr.C.
N. Vance to DR.. Faison. I regret
that Mr.. Vance wrote The letter.
but I feel sure that It will not
iujure Mr.. Simmons.M MI. Vance's
animus aud uufairness over
reach their object.
All who know Mr.. Simmons
know that for the past twelve
years he has been a consistent
advocate of silver at the old
ratio. When the National Demcc-
rscy seemed about to antagonize
that ratio Mr.. Simmons was
openly an advocate of coinage at
16 to L.
In 1894, ] was chairman OF the
Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, and I had frequent COM
versations with M. Simmons
during the campaign, and I know
he was for silver at the estab
lished ratio.
During that campaign General
Carr Was president Of the State
Associations Of DemocraticClubs,
A convention Of said clubs was
called to meet at Raleigh in Saps
TENDER. Gsp. Carr invited a
prominent member of President
Cieveland's cabinet to address
the convention of clubs. This
cabinet officer was both an able
and eloquent advocate Of the
presidents gold standard policy.
Our State convention in August,
1894, had declared for the coin
age Of silver alto to l., and for
immediate action. It was felt that
a gold standard speech at the
convention of clubs would do
great harm. I consulted with
Mr.. Simmons and other Demo-
Gratis. and acting upon their ad-
vice, [ enclosed a copy Of our
State platform to the cabinet Of
fcer, and suggested that our
campaign was beng run on the
lines marked out by the plat
form. The cabinet officer did not
speak.
I think Mr.. Vance unfair when
he attacks Mr.. Simmons record
on silver, because he held an Of
fee under President Cleveland.
We have just nominated by ac>
clamation, and elected by~60, 600
majority, governor who held
office the same time under Presi-
dent Cleveland. Nc one has said
that Governor Aycock was un-
true TO silver. No one doubts
Mr.. Vance's fidelity to silver;
yet IN 1895, after the breach be-
tween President Cleveland and
the silver wing Of the party had
become irreconcilable;. after
Cleveland had vetoed the seign-
forage bill, and after Congress
had defeatedSGat banks of ISSUE, !
MI. en-. Vance was an applicant
for the appointment, at the hands
Of President Cleveland, of the
dictatorship Of the Western
district, The first ~intimation I
had that MI. M. e. Carter had
died was a telegram from Mr..
G. N. Vance, asking me, a $ chair
man Of the State committee, to
endorse his application to Presi>
dent Cleveland for the collectors
ship of the Western district. The
tact that Mr.. Vance applied for
this appointment proves that a
silver mar could hold is without
sacrificing his principles.
I regret that Democrats see
fit to make such unfair attacks
on Mr.. Simmons. I know r.
M. Simmons as few men know
him, 7 know him to be a Demo-
.crat, and a man without fear and
without reproach. His life is as
an open book. He is as honorable
as clean and as upright a man

CORNER STONE IN PLACE.
for Monument to Memory
of Albert Pike.

of Albert Pike.
The corner stone of the monument which
is to be erected in the triangular reserya-
ton at Indiana avenue Sd and D streets
northwest to the memory OF Albert Pike
was laid this morning. There were no cere-
monies. but the event was not allowed to
pass by without a gathering of members of
the Scottish Rite of the Southern Jurisdic-
ton this morning at the home Of the tenn
Pile, corner of Sd and E streets. In this
house. which had been tie home for so
many years of Albert Pike, the revered
some of those who cherished his memory
should come together. A parchment had
been prepared containing brief statement
that the corner stone was laid on this
date. and attached to 1t were the signa-
lures of members who came to the temple
this morning for the purpose Of signing it.
About 10 o'clock the parchment was in
closed in a bottle, which was Theoretically
sealed and then, headed by Col. Robert l.
Fleming, the little group of Scottish Rite
Masons went over to the site OF the monu-
ment An opening had been left in the
foundation in which the bottle was placed
and it was firmly imbcGJcd in cement, Col
Fleming himself using the trowcl with skill
full hands. Just before the workmen swung
| the great piece Of granite constituting the
corner stone in place. DR.. Woodman took
a photograph CT the group surrounding the
stone as it was poised in the air. The
sculptor of the statue, Mr.. G. Trentanove
who was also present had his camera, with
which he secured several snap shots.
When the store finally rested upon it's
bed the little company dispersed. Next
fall, when the statue of Albert Pike is in
place, surrounded aith aliegorical figures
the entire composition making an artistic
whole, it will be dedicated with appropriate
ceremonies.
Among those who came to the House of
the Temple this morning and signed the
parchment were Col Theo. F. Bingham

grounds; Col Henry F. Blount, Stilson

GROWTH OF HONOLULU.
Delegate Castle to Philadelphia Tells
of the Prosperity of Hawaii.

BOSTON, June 16.--The Hon. William
II. Castle of Honolulu, n delegate to the
Republican National Convention, is in
Boston. He says the people are satisfied
with the recent Government bin and
that there is u remarkable increase in
population. Immediately after the pas
sage of the bin meeting was called at
which u Republican party was organized
and steps We're taken to elect delegates
to the National Convention. Mr.. Castle
added:
"There has also been n movement In
Honolulu looking toward the formation
of Democratic party, but when / left
no active steps had been taken. There
has been some talk also of the forma-
ton of native party to be composed
wholly of native Kanakas, the rallylng
cry of which Is to be opposition to the
whites, but 1 do not believe that viii
amount to anything. Two Of the elected
delegates to Philadelphia are natives and
one was IA prominent member OF the
Queens Cabinet.
at the time of the recent attack of the
plague In Honolulu an informal census
was taken as part OF the systematic eff
fort at stamping out the disease. TO our
great surprise we found that tFnra were
AZ. 900 people in the city. At TIN 'uat ctn-
sus there were $1,000 This shov an in
crease of 1900 people in five ypais. IL
Is wonderful growth"
