Before leaving the city for the summer for hishome in West Virginia tonight Senator John ¥. Kenna talked freely tp a number of friends who called to see him. The Senator is confident that the democrats are ina splendid condition to win a great national victory next year. Regarding the presidential candidates ho said: “The heads of the tickets will be Cleve- land and Harrison again. To my mind there is no doubt who the democratic candidate wilt be. It isin the air. All the signs point to Cleve- land. Some democratic Senators are opposed to him, but that is all there is to the opposition. It is confined to the politicians. The great mass of the people want Cleveland and in the end their wishes must prevail. I believe that Cleveland is stronger today with the rank and file of the party than he was when he left the White House. He is identified with the ques- tion which ‘is to form the iseue in the eam- ign of next year, the great question fringing from lo millions of money for no legitimate p of government. ‘That ia bound to be the issue next year, and on it the democrats win. silver question is an important one, but it will be subordinate to the tariff question. While the | his le masses of the party believe no doubt as I do that free coinage of silver would be br oy thing they will not turn away from Cleve- land because be takes a different view of the nestion.

HAMMETT PROTESTS AGAINST THE MANNER IN WHICH RE HAS BERN TREATED—A DELEGATION OF CITIZENS IN FAVOR OF DR. TOWNSHEND—MR. DOUGLASS WILLING TO GIVE A REASON. The contending forces of Health Officer Townshend met today at the District building, and both sides were heard by the Commission- ers. The first to arrive was Dr. Hammett. He had a long and earnest conversation with Com- missioner Douglass in the board room. The doctor told Mr. Douglass that he bad been shamefully treated. He did not know until. ~—last—night, during a conversation with Commissioner Toes, that the renson he had been treated so badly was becanse of the charge that he had vilified the President. Dr. Hammett denied this in toto, and said that on the contrary le had always spoken in the highest terms of the executive, and presented several letters from eminent divine corroborating what he said. The doctor waxed warm as the conversation Propressed and said in a very detormined tone that he had been badly treated and proposed to be vindicated. If he was not, he said, there would be war, war to the knife. Commissioner Douglass replied that he had nothing to say. The Commissioners as « board would dispose of the matter as soon as Col. Robert returned. 4 TOWNSHEND DELEGATION. A messenger announced the presence of a delegation and the Commissioners went into the board room to hear what they bad to say. It was adelegation of business men, which had called in the interest of Dr. Smith Townshend. Among those present were Messrs. Horatio Browning of Browning & Middleton, Bennett of the Arlington Hotel, Jobu -L. Vogt, Simon ‘olf, L. F. Queen, Geo. J. Mueller, W. H. Crosby of National Hotel, Frank Hume, H. T. Wheele James Hotel, Edward ler of the St. Graves of B. F. Charlton & Co., Jas. Lans- burgh, John Keyworth, B.” W. Guy of Curran & Co. Jacob Meyer ot M. Galt &” Co, Emmons §. Smith of the Boston Varicty Store, W. E. Clark. president of the Central National Bank; Jas. P. Willett, Harrison Dingman. Commis- sioner Ross had to step out for a few minutes and while wasting for him Commissioner Douglass kept the delegation in good humor by relating a fanny story, which called forth a hearty laugh. Commissioner Ross then came in and the business of the delegation pro- coeded. ‘MR. WOLF's REMARKS. Mr. Simon Wolf was the first to speak. He explained that they were all friends of Dr. Townshend, who believed in him as acitizen of | Neal. high respectability, honored among thove who knew him best, and an officer of ability. What they wanted to know was why he was to be removed. If his resignation was asked because he has not done his duty it was a matter that he andthe gentlemen with him had nothing to do, but if he was to be removed to make room for another he hoped the Com- missioners would frankly say so. He did not doubt the authority or right of the Commis- sioners to remove any map. ‘They protested against his removal in such a way as to leave a cloud of insinuation on hi record; they did not believe the Commission- ers were the kind of men todo such an injus- tice. The health of the people of the District was the best evidence, he said, as to the effi- cient manner in which Dr. Townshend had discharged the duty of health officer. He trusted that the Commissioners would, if pomible, reconsider their action rogarding the ealth officer with as much promptness as that which had characterized their action in asking his resignation. That was why the delegation was before them. They asked this by their presence and the position they held in the city. FOUR OLD LETTERS. As soon as Mr. Wolf had concluded his re- marks Mr. Frank Hume arose and supple- mented his remarks by reading letters from ex-District Commissioners Morgan, Webb, Ed- munds and Wheatley, testifying to their confi- dence in Dr. Townshend as an official. It ap- red on inquiry by Mr. Douglass that these tters were dat in October, 1839. Mr. Wolf arked if it would make any differ- ence if the letters were dated today. If so they could be duplicated. Commissioner Ross remarked that Mr. Douglass thought that the fact that they were written before this controversy arose was in their favor. This was the only time Commissioner Boss spoke during the entire hear: ‘MR. HUME’S REMARKS. Continuing Mr. Hume spoke briefly in the same tenor as Mr. Wolf. He said that there was no better testimony of Dr. Townshend's effi- ciency than the success of his administration of the health office. During hie administration the city had been kept clear of epidemics, and he was doing as well as any man who could be found. They all, he said, knew Dr. Townshend and liked hima and.as citizens and taxpayers protested against his removal. Mr. Hi Dingman said he wished to second the remarks made. A soldiers’ organi- zation of which he was a member, the Union Soldiers’ ce, ly sent a memorial to the Commissioners on this subject, and he had been requested by that body to be present to express the interest they had in this ques- tion. AM ADMINISTRATIVE REASON. Mr. Douglass said that none of the gentle- men who had spoken had touched on the reason which had influenced his action in the matter. His reason was one which his predecessors had aptly termed .an administrative reason. It related simply to the manner of doing business i said, bad been formed in the t, 1889, and he bad then in- .

Thurman, son of the “Old Roman,” is to be the temporary chair- man, as this selection is made by the state cen- tral committee. It is apparent to all except the friends of other candidates that Gov. Jas. E. Campbell will be renominated on the first ballot, although the friends of Hon. Lawrence Neal still insist that their candidhte has a fighting chance. Hamilton county will cast a solid vote for Neal unless the strenuous efforts that are being made by the Campbell men to have the renomination go to the gov- ernor by acclamation should finally induce Neal and line to withdraw in the interest of harmony. The feeling against Campbell among Hamilton county delegates 16 so strong, howaver, that it 1s a very sanguine man indeed who would predict harmony in the convention. Gov. Campbell's friends are complaining of “canard which they say is being circulated by the enemies of the governor to the effect that he contemplates declini atfer winning the fight, and that the Campbell men are then to throw the nomination to John A McMahon of Dayton.

It is not likely, however, that stepe will be taken until after the Bebcuacy conference, after which it is believed Polk himselt. WHAT IT WILL ALL AMOUNT To. The effect of the organization of « third party in the southern states will result in one of two things—the attachment of the farmers for the democratic party and a recognition of the hopelemess of attempting to elect « shird party electoral ticket will prevent them from ¥ of the latter to any the south will remain solid as of yore, or the subtreasury clement of the alliance will take the bit in oir teeth and Ton away with the ides that they are “teaching the democratic party a lesson” by polling = large number of votes for the third party can- didates, thereby electing the republican electoral ticket in several states. Take this state for instance. If the third partyites should poll 40,000 vows in 1892 the republicans would elect their ticket by from 15,000 to 25,000 majority. The republicans see the game in sight and this week a state eutuon of proveuve leagues will be held at Asheville. These leagues have recently been organized throughout the state and are composed principally of white re- publican protectionists.. There are a large number of white republicans in the western portion of this state. Inanumber of the western counties there are few negroes, and at least two-titths of the whites are republicans and protecuoutete; and in about a dozen of these western counties » Majority of the white voters are republicans Such counties as Wilkes, Ladkin, Surry, Stokes, Forsyth, Madison, Mitchell, dc., are republi- can, and in most of them there are very few negroes. Wilkes, for instance, is Republican by 1,00) majority, and there ure noi 500 Voters in the county, showing that a majority of the whites are republicans. The most of these men were whigs befor the war, Union men during the war and republicans ance 1365. In the last legislature the republican coutingemt came from these white western counties, and uot from the “black belt” as would naturaily be Tt is this class izing the protecuve cagues, and they expest to poll a heavy vote at the next election. dent Polk's private secretary at Wash- ington (ue is er citizen of Raleigh) is re- Ported as saying that the third party will poll 100,000 vous in North Carolina mex. year. Well, if it polls one-third of that number the republicen electoral ticket will be elected tm this state “beyond the peradventure of doubt,” for the reason that at least nine out of ever; ten of the votes cast for the third party candidates will come from the democrat ranks. The negro alliance men will yote the republican ticket almost to a man. ———— CAPTURE OF A SMUGGLER, ‘The Sloop Flora of Seattle Fined 6400 at Victoria, B.C.
