Democrats May Call on It for Help in Kentucky. THE MONEY QUESTION THE ISSUE No Fear of Black Domination in the State. DEMOCRATIC SPLIT LIKELY ———+—___. There are democratic leaders deriving a certain comfort from the opinion that how- ever much their brethren in Kentucky may now be warring oyer the silver question, they will be brought together before the day of election by the negro question. It is urged that in Kentucky, as in the old slave states further south, the fear of negro domination may always be relied upon to unite the democracy in an emergency. A Good Deal of Misinformation. This opinion represents a good deal of misinformation. Those familiar with Ken- tucky affairs are unable, indeed, to under- stand how men could have been so very much misled. The negro as a voter has never caused the slightest alarm in the ‘lue-grass state. He has never been denied his political rights there. Election riots, with the negro retreating before loaded guns, or nimble manipulations of ballot -oxes, or countings out after the closing of the polls, have never been known in Ken- tucky. Until very recently the voter de- clared his choice by word of mouth, in the hearing of the election officers and all by- standers, and could see the record made of the choice announced. This rendered “‘fine work” at the polls very difficult, if not im- possible, and it gave to election methods in the state an openness that served a good purpose. The negro came up as did the white voter, called off his ticket and saw his name entered in the proper column. There was no friction, nor even the charge of unfairness toward him. Never a Menace in Kentucky. Then the negro was never, even in slavery days, so numerous in Kentucky as in the cotton states. The Kentucky crops were not so exacting as was the cotion crop, and hence it was never necessary to herd him by the hundreds and thousands on im- mense plantations to insure profit from his labor. When freedom vame, therefore, and, following it, citizenship, the negro was not considered a menace in Kentucky. He voted, as did his brethren in the cotton belt, the republican ticket, but he was not sufficiently numerous to cause uneasiness, or to invite the hatching of bad schemes through hope of his uninformed support. No state ticket has ever been elected there by his vote. Led by Native Whites. And in Kentucky the negro has always been led politically by native whites—his old masters, and men of’ recognized ability and the highest character and social stand- ing. Gen. Bristow, Gen. Harlan, Col. Good- loe, representing the top notch of social possibilities, were republican leaders there in days past, while Col. Bradley, the pres- ent leader, 1s a worthy successor to those men and ranks among the best lawyers in the state. The talk of negro domination, therefore, could never, had it been raised, have conveyed any sense of disquietude to the minds of men able to see just what the negro vote amounted to and for whom it was being thrown. A Sound Money Platform. But there is an interesting feature in the Kentucky situaticn connected with the negro vote, and this is that it is expected to be thrown next fall solidly in favor of sound money. The republican state plat- form calls for the continued enforcement of the republican financial policy, and Col. Bradley will stump the state on that Issue. So far as can now be seen he has his party behind him. If there is any defection it is as yet concealed. He is especially popular with the colored voters, and there is the certainty that great crowds of them will hear him during the campaign. Can this ycete be divided on the money issue? And, in case of a serious democratic split, will such a thing be attempted? Can the issue of more money be presented to the colored voters so as to wean a portion of them from their long allegiance to the repubil- can party? If silver triumphs in the demo- cratic convention, and sound money mem- bers of the party retire in the sulks to their tents, can their loss be made good by recrulting from the colored republican vote, despite the effort of Col. Bradley to hold it together? May Call on It for Help. This sort of speculation has more point to it than the other. Instead of the solid negro vote causing the divided democrats to come together, it is thought to be much more likely to cause them to make a raid on it for help if their present distraction keeps up. — COLUMBIAN’S COMMENCEMENT.

The General Synod at Hagerstown Listens to Reports. Condition of the Institutions—Recom- mendations of the Committee— Reception to Delegates. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. HAGERSTOWN, June 11, 1895. The reports of Secretary H. C. Haithcox and of Treasurer L. G. Kammerer of the board of education were read this after- noon by Secretary Haithcox of Polo, Ill. The former showed the condition of vari- ous educational institutions under the care of the board (Gettysburg College and Wit- tenburg College, prominent institutions, are self-supporting and not under the care of the board). Midland College, Atchison, Kan., shows net assets, $S1,441; thirteen professors and instructors, six students in theological de- partment, forty-seven in collegiate, fifty- six in academic. Seventy-eight per cent of this number profess religion and 16% per cent have the ministry in view. Carthage College, Carthage, Ill., shows net assets, $43,591; six professors, four tu- tors, forty students in college, 116 in academy. Seventy per cent profess religion, twelve students preparing for the ministry. Hartwick Seminary, New York state, shows net assets of $96,655, nine teachers, sixty-four students, eleven candidates for ministry. Sixty-four per cent of total at- tendance are Christians and 100 per cent of the boarding students profess Christianity. There are no statistics from the German Theological Seminary, Chicago. Western Theological Seminary, Omaha, not yet opened. Several young men are taking the theological course at Midland. The following recommendations were of- fered: That 10 cents per communing mem- ber be the apportionment for the board for the bienniu: that pastors be urged to secure the offerings from Sunday schools and their people on the second Sunday in September; that action of board of educa- tion in temporarily locating work of West- ern Theological Seminary at Midland Col- lege be approved and they be authorized to continue the work there until it seems best to the judgment of the board to locate elsewhere; that they be authorized to elect a professor of systematic theolozy ard the general synod take steps for his support; that the support of the Western Theological Seminary be commended. The treasurer's report showed receipts for the biennium, $15,288; disbursements, $15,606; balance on hand, $33. The repert of the committee on nomina- tion of a board of foreign missions was adopted, and the new board constituted as herevofore named, The old educational board was renom!- q mated and elected, with M.

THORMAN IS EQUALLY FOSITIVE Chairman Smalley on the Latter’s Manifesto. THE DRIFT OF SENTIMENT Special From a Staff Correspondent. COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 10, 1895. Is the democracy of Ohio to follow the lead set by the democrats of Illonois, and make a declaration for the free cotnage of silver? This is a question frequently asked these days of Ohio politicians. Senator Brice runs his fingers through his auburn locks and answers with a smile, “Well, hardly.” % Mr. Allen W. Thurman, the son of the old Roman, and the chief apostle of free silver in the state, knits his brows and says with determination, “It will be very strange if it does not.” In this connection it might be timely to state that a movement ts now on foot among the sound money people to beat Mr. Thurman in his own home, and prevent his being sent as a delegate to the state con- vention when it meets. The experience of the last two or three weeks has demonstrated that there is good ground for Senator Brice’s idea in this mat- ter. There has undoubtedly been a decided weakening of the sentiment in favor of silver, many men of prominence who had Fitherto inclined that way coming ‘out on the other tack and some radicals modify- ing their views. One of the most notable instances was in the case of Col. Kilbourn of this city, who was known to be a radi- cal. He now deprecates Mr. Thurman's movement, and, as he is a politician of prominence, his example will have weight, it is thought. Senator Brice is now gofhg through the state and is making a thorough and bust- ness-like attempt to control the party machinery, to prevent, if possible, the send- ing of a free silver majority to the state ecnvention. More than this, he ts using his perscnal influence with prominent men all cver the state in the same direction. Chairman Smalley Replies to Thur- man, The chairman of the state central com- mittee, Mr. Smalley, replies to Mr. Thur- man’s recent silver manifesto, under recent date, as follows: “Mr. Thurman's recent proclamation to Ohio demccrats calls for a brief notice from me that all may know the exact re- lation he sustains to the Ohio democracy. Mr. Thurman was made chairman of the state executive committee last year by the action of the state central committee, of which I have the honor to be chairman, The duty devolved on him as chairman to manage the campaign, and, if possible, to guide the party to victory. He had ex- clusive control of the movements of. the éemocratic trocps, and, after putting forth herculean efforts, he came within 137,000 votes of winning the battle. His published manifesto suggests that he could increase these figures to at least 150,000 if he were again chosen to drill the boys for the en- suing fight. When the campaign closed in disaster last November there remained no further duty for Mr. Thurman as chair- man to perform, except to gracefully drop back into the ranks, from which the central committee had drafted him. “As Mr. Thurman is in no way connected with the state central committee it is diffi- cult to comprehend why a multitude of democrats are embarassing him with cor- respondence concerning the business which belongs solely to a committee with which he is not identified. None of these letters with which he has been deluged has been forwarded to me. The Inference he would have us draw is that there is a popular up- rising cf 400,000 indignant democrats de- manding immediate action on the part of the committee, and that they are harassing the life out of Mr. Thurman urging him ta do something. It certainly is well known that I am the chairman of the central com- mittee, for Mr. Thurman has been em- phasizing that fact for several weeks. This reported urgent demand that the commit- tee do something, boiled down, amounts to this, As chairman I have not received half-a-dozen letters on the subject of the state convention. Of those received, one was from Allen W. Thurman and one was from Col. Taylor.” ‘ Mr. Smalley begs leave to be permitted to confer with Senator Brice, with Gov. Campbell, with Larry Neal, “and hosts of other safe, level-headed democrats, about matters affecting the prosperity of the democratic party,” as well as with Mr, Thurman. He suggests that Mr. Thurman “should be impressed with the importance of keeping all his ammunition to use against the common enemy,” and to save himself for a charge on the republicans. Mr. Smalley closes as follows: ‘Dismissing Mr. Thurman and his procla- mation, I will say that the committee will soon convene, and doubtless harmony will prevail in all its deliberations.” It is the belfef of many that Mr. Thur- man and his radical free silver followers will eventually be driven into the ranks of the populists, or into affiliation with the new silver party that is to take root in ti central states for the accommodation of those democrats who find themselves op- posed by their state organization. The best-posted politicians in Columbus expressed the opinion to the writer that the sound money men will be able to con- trol the state convention so as to prevent its taking a stand for silver, and that by the time the next election comes around the sentiment of the voters will have changed in the direction of sound money to the extent of preventing a serious split, in the party. ——— BATTERY A’S MARCH. To Leave Tomorrow on an Expédition to Marshall Hall. Everything is in readiness at the armory of Light Battery A, D. C. N. G., for their annual march and encampment For the past few days Capt. Forsberg and his men have been as busy as bees, and early to- morrow morning, when other members of the guard are on their way to their armo- ries to prepare to go into camp at Fort Washington, the battery boys will be on the move to Upper Marlboro’, men, horses, Gatling guns and all. The battery has been most fortunate this year in procuring the finest lot of horses they have ever had for use during an encampment, and Capt. Forsberg is especially delighted in this, for if ever an artilleryman feels proud and soldierlike it is when he is well mounted. Probably the busiest of all in the battery are Quartermaster Sergt. “Joe” Biondi and Saddler Sergt. Fry, for on these rests the greater part of the responsibility for the success of the unleftaking. One of the wagons under the charge of Sergt. Biondi has been ingeniously fitted up as a kitchea, pantry, refrigerator, etc. and an abun- dance of eatables will be taken, so that the fare en route will be first-class. The horse: too, will be well fed three times a day dur- ing the whole of the encampment, for Sergt. Fry will take over the road the finest of oats and baled hay, drawn from the stores of the regular army. Occasional halts will be made along the road,so that the march will not be fatiguing. Lieut. Robbins will not accompany the boys over the road, but will be with them part of the time when they reach Fort ‘Washington, as he has been detailed by the general at’ brigade headquarters. Maj. Alexander,inspector general of the brigade, is jubilant in anticipation of again being with the battery on the march, for he will accompany it over the entire route. From Suitland, the first halt, the battery will go to Forestville, thence to Upper Marlboro’, where camp will be made for the night. In the morning the march will be resumed toward Piscataway, passing through Wood- yard and Surrattsville. Marshall Hall will be reached on Saturday, where the battery will~be in camp four days, having a mcunted drill each day except Sunday, Thursday Marshall Hall will be left behind and the march will be resumed toward Fort Washington, where the battery will camp two days with the brigade, leaving that place in the morning of the 22d for home, arriving in this city again in the afternoon of the same day.
