The Bryan Interview.
The interview mentioned by Mr..
Cleveland in his letter to Mr.. Reeve
was published in The Times on July
10, 1906. Mr.. Bryan was in London at
that time and he stated his views in
no uncertain manner. He said that
he was more radical than in 1896, that
he had nothing to withdraw on the
economical questions discussed, and
that he still believed in silver. Elk.
tracts from the interview follow:
81 notice that I am now described by
some as conservative, and in order
that there may be no misunderstood.
ing on that subject, permit me to say
that in n sense l have always been
conservative. The Democratic poll
cies are conservative in that they EN-.
body old principles applied to new con.
ditions. There was nothing new in
principle in either of the platforms on
which I stood.
IF, however, by the word conserva-
tive they mean that I have changed
my position on any public question or
moderated my opposition to corporate
aggrandizement, they have a surprise
waiting for them. 1 am more radical
than l was in 1896, and have nothing
to withdraw on economic questions
which have been under discussion.

Little Rock, February 28.- Hon. R. H. McCulloch, secretary of the National Farmers Union, is in the city to-day, and ir con- nection with the report of the raising of S2,50O,OOO at Memphis on the cotton crop of Arkansas, now in the union warehouses, he gave out the following

wide prohibition. He said it was a burning, living quesion that Will be presented squarely to the next legislature, and that the people were entitled to know how the candidates stood upon the question and stated that he thought it was cowardly to dodge the question.
 Mr. Hinemon certainly made a difinitied, able and convincing speech. His personal brainy and strong patriotic and forceful ut terances showed him to be a man above the petty and dis gusting political practices which have grown too much in vogue n Arkansas politics.

 Little Rock. Feb. 28. Special. A well defined rumor reached this city Thursday night to the effect that the Iron Mountain shops at Barring Cross on the north side of the Arkansas river would remain closed for another week, and not open on Monday as announced when they closed a week ago. Another rumor was to the effect that the shops would remain closed for not less than 30 days, and probably longer Master Mechanic B. F. Stevens stated late last night that he had received no instructions from St. Louis, but that he would not deny the reports, from the fact that they might be true.

 He favored working the con, victs on the public roads, keep ing enough on the farm to grow enough to supply those working on the roads, and thus save the state the expense of buying supplies.
 He also said that the state of Georgia had by remedial legisla. tion placed sixteen hundred mil lion dollars of untaXed capital upon the tax books it was useless to say that the state of Oklahoma, only about twenty years old, had three times as much wealth as the state of Ar. kansas, and that the time had come in Arkansas that there should be such a change in the assessment laws as would re quire the wealth of the state to bejustly taxed and that if this was done the rate of taxation could be lowered.
 He resented the idea that those who had been elected to high office should spend their time in going over the state instructing the people how to vote instead of attending to their official duty. And stated that Attorney-Ge al Kirby was sworn in last Jan- uary and acted as Attorney Gen eral until July, and then began the race for governor. Thus spending six months in the dis charge of his official duties and eighteen months in running for office at the expense of the state.
 He also stated that both Mir. Doneghey and Mir. Mcfar lane had been on the commission to build the State Capital, that both had failed to build the capital, and both were running for Gov ernor upon that issue, as if the building of the capital was the only question before the people.
 He grew eloquent when he came to discuss the schools of the state and made a strong of the folly of the time in discussing the question of a state house while the children of the state were being neglected.

Hon d. H. Hnemon Addressed Representative Audience at Opera House Last Night Favors Working Convlcts
 Public Roads and State Wide Prohibition

MT. Hinemon spoke to about three hundred people at the opera house last. He made a dignified and forceful speech on the pending political issues. He began by stating that all the candidates, except MT. Doneghey had made more than one hundred speeches in joint debate, and that Mr. Kirby and MT. Me Farlane spent most of their time in making charges against each other and against Mir. Doneghey, but that he did not approve of this method of campaigning that no matter how unfit the other candidates might be for the position it did not argue that he was a suitable man for so i'm portant a position. Therefore he had no charges to make or refute.
 He stated that the race be- tween the other candidates was simply a battle of charges and counter charges, none of which could enable the people to say which candidate favored the principle which would assist in the development and upbuilding of the state.
 He discussed the convict lease system, and stated that the lease was made at a time when labor was cheap and that the convicts had been leased ata price that had entailed a great loss on the state, and that the state had been held bound to carry out this contract. He also said that the contract
