comment, an extremely scurrilous at
tack on me copied from the Gwinnett Herald,
purporting to have been written by }. 9.
Head, "a Yankee Preacher" My answer to it
appeared in last weeks Jefersoniam.
The accusation was that I had charged
Bryan with voting for 'Blain Republican,"
for "Speaker Of the Senate" against Crisp,
the Democrat The "Yankee Preacher" de-
clared that Bryan had triumphantly demon
strated the falsity Of the charge, and covered
me with shame, and that [ was too wicked or
proud to confess my "sin."
BY way of reply, [ stated that Blaine was,
at the time referred to, a member of Har-
rlson's cabinet and not candidate for the
speakership or anything; that there was no
such office as Speaker of the Senate" that
BRYAN had never been charged with voting
for a Republican against Mr.. Crisp; that [
myself was not the author of the charge
which "Yankee Preacher" evidently had in
his mind; but that Alfred Henry Lewis the
well known author and newspaper CORES
pondent, was responsible for it; and that
Bqyom had never denied at.
The charge was, that Bryan had continued
to vote for Springer (Democrat) IN the DEM
ocrotic cotcus after Springer himself had
ceased to be candidate FOR the caucus 7101o-
a,eatiom, and was himself voting for Crisp.
In other words. Bryan threw away his vote,
IN the caucus, rather than give it to Crisp.
Mr. Lewis was present in his capacity as
correspondent of the New York Herald. His
curiosity was aroused by Bryan's peculiar
conduct. Some time later he asked Mr..
Bryan why he had SO persistently refused to
vote for Crisp as the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic caucus. In effect, Mr. Bryan answered
that he could not afford to cote for an e~-Con-
federate soldier.
Of cours after Mr.. Crisp became the NOM
sgaee Of the Democratic caucus, it was Bryan's
DUTY as a Democrat to vote for him in the
House To have voted for the Republican
nominee (Thos. B. Reed) would have been
suicidal.
The whole thing turns upon the difference
between nominating Mr.. Crisp IN the caucus,
and voting for him in the House, after he had

cold, being accelerated at every gust
by the gentle zephyrs from across
the prairies. The minister stood hes.
itatingly with his book Of rital ready
TO pronounce the last final rites when
the corpse was at the bottom Of the
grave. The situation was becoming
critical and too aggravating for the
irish blood of the driver Of the
hearse. Finally, as climax to the
occasion he gave a spring and leaped
down into the inclosure striking both
ieet squarely on the box, which yield
ed to the sudden impact and dropped
TO the bottom Of the grave. There

Puerto Cortez. Honduras, February zo' Via Wireless New Orleans.-The peace conference between the envoys of Pro- visional President Manuel Bonilla and President Davila is still deadlocked.
 Rosales is contending for the selection for temporary president of one of his three men suggested, claiming that all of them are non-partisan. He objects to t..e three men suggested by the Bonilla en- voy on the grounds that they are all strong partisans of Bonilla.
 Dr. Meinbreno is contending for the se- lection of one of the three names suggest ed by himself asserting that 1t is neces- sary that one of them be chosen to in sure the safety of Bonilla's supporters in Honduras. pr. Membreno declares the three men suggested by Rosales are anti Bonilla men,
 Umpire Dawson is still hopeful how ever that the conferees will agree among themselves, and he is deaf to their re- quests that he select a provisional pres ident. It now appears that Forth is the least objectionable of the candidates sug- rested by Rosales All of Bonilla's candi- dates seem equally objectionable to Ros- ales.

 This fact is taken as another evil dence that the House is doing all it can to avoid an extra session and is anxi- ous to get the last of the appropriation bill to the Senate in ample time to per init their consideration. Only the defi- ciency bill remains to be passed by the House.
