TO AVERT A FIGHT Why Mr. Chandler Agreed to a McKinley Indorsement. WR. DEPEW DISCUSSES POSSIBILITIES Importance of the Smith-Crisp Debates in Georgia. : CURRENT POLITICAL NOTES itor Chandler has written from Con- cord, N. H., to Senator Lodge, explaining the action of the state convention in in- dorsing both Reed and McKinley, saying that the plank was a concession of the Reed men to the Meinley sentiment. Sen- ator Chandler says he acquiesced in the concession, though he knows it to have been cowardly, as the Reed men outnum- bered the McKinley men. In his letter, Mr. Chandler says: “The ludicrous incorgruity between the delegates elected and the last resolution of the series adopted by today’s convention needs ex- planation from me. “A short time ago a McKinley movement was organized at Manchester under the head of Henry M. Putney. “The pretext of the outbreak was my de- nunciation of the campaign methods of Messrs. Osborne and Hanna, which was represerted as an assault upon Mr. Mc- Kinley personally. The argument seemed to be that because Mr. Chandler had inju- dic‘ously told the truth about Osborne and Hanna, therefore New Hampshire ought to abandon Mr. Keed and support Mr. Mc- Kinley. An assumed virtuous indignation was to change men’s deliberately formed opinions. The movement did not seem to threaten anything serious. Public opinion settled upon those persons as delegates known to be favorable to Mr. Reed. Yes- terday Mr. Putney came to Concord as the guard of the Manchester dele- gates. He had been designated by th ate committee, with two other gentlemen, as an advisory committee on a platform. He called on me and asked for my views. I began by saying that I assumed that no resolution concerning presidential candi- dates would be adopted, as we had not done that even during the exciting days of the Blaine canvasses. “He said that if a resolution of instruc- tions for Reed was proposed the Manches- ter delegates would oppose it. I replied that no such resolution was desired, but that the delegates ought to se uninstruct- ed and free and uncontrolled by resolu- tions of any kind, as they had always gon2. I understood him to assent to this plan. I then expressed my views «= to the currency plank, and he thereupon ask- m2 to hear him read his resolutions, vhich I did and gave to them my assent. They were literally those adopted today by the convention without the last resolution so adopted. He went away and I saw him no more to speak to him until he appear- ed o7 the stage of the convention. “This forenoon about 10 o'clock, just be- fore starting for the convention, which met at 11 o'clock, I heard accidentally that the committee on resolutions the night be- fore had decided to add to the platform whiea had been shown me a resvlution de- elaring that Mr. Reed was noble and il- lustrious and that Mr. McKinley was pure and able; that New Hampshire could be happy with either, and preferred neither one or the other. I also learned that it had been arranged to keep the decision a secret from me to as late a moment as possible. A Hasty Conference. “Immediately I asked to come to my room such candidates for delegates as could be found and a few other friends, and we consulted hastily. The candidates said that they had all been known for weeks as unreservedly for Reed; that they were sure of an election by acclamation; that a disturbance in the convention was undesirable, and that it was possible, al- though not probable, that of the seven hundred delegates then pouring into town from the cars a majority might be found against us if we had an acrimonicus de- bate on an attempt! to defeat the resolu- tion, and that they thought we had better let the whole platform pass without a fee Wcss I was embarrasse] by the fact that I was to preside at the convention, and had no time to arrange the proxram of a fight, I reluctantly ytelded to their opinion, and we went to the hall. ‘The convention met a little after 11 c'cleck. We nominated the delegates by mation and adopted the platform as Je unanimously. A motion was made pstitute for the currency plank the gold standard resolution of the Mas- setts convention, which was opposed Senator Gallinger and others, and only received one vote, that of the mover him- It was unsuited to the opinion of Hampshire and to the candidacy of Reed, who ts a bimetallist. Tne con- vention ended before 1 o'clock, joyous and enthusiastic over the prospect of an over- whelmuing republican victory to state and nation. “Cowardly Self-Restraint.” “This explanation may not he satisfac- tory, but it is all I can make. I confess I was unprepared, at the moment of enter- ing the convention, for the device which was the ultimate development of the, Os- borne-Hanna movement In New Hamp- shire. Our gelf-restraint was cowardly. It was the opinion of good judges, and It was clear to me, after all the delegates had ssembled in the hall and cheered first the ame of Reed, and later the name of Mc- Kinley, that the convention was for Reed three to one. “I have acquiesced in such an act of covardice once before, when we allowed to pass a resolution at the New Hampshire convention in 1877 that Hayes’ adminis- tration was good and pure, rather than have a controversy over the question whether its conduct had been dishonorable in surrendering to democratic usurpers the lawful government of Louisiana and South Varolina, whose title was as good as that of Mr. Hayes. I saw and denounced an- other act of cowardice, when, on the fool- ish pretext that it was necessary, in order to count in Hayes, it was agreed by Ohio statesmen to make the aforesaid surrender of the two lawful southern governments. Hayes and Packard and Chamberiain and ican honor might ali have been saved if the republicans had shown the ccurage their convictions. 2 the mongrel resolutions of today tmight have been easily defeated if men had not cried peace when honest, manly warfare was requircd. But the delegates are all for Reed, and { do not think Hanna can capture any one of them at any siage of the contest.” LOOKS FOR A SPLIT. Mr. Chairman Roxelle of the Missouri Populist State Committtee. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ST. LOUIS, April 2—Arthur Rozelle is in St. Louis. He is the editor of the La- mar, Mo., “Industrial Leader,” and is going to take charge of the Hterary bureau es- tablished in St. Louis by the national com- mittee of the people's party. Mr. Rozelle is himself a member of the committee, and is also chairman of the state committée of the people’s party. He is confident that the democratic party will split in two on the currency question, and that the popu- list party will get the silver wing of it. “There will surely be a bolt at Chicago,” he said. “The majority will adopt a gold platform, or at least refuse to indorse the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. A great many of the delegates will then leave the convention. I don’t see how they can do- differently after the talking they have done. While we are not going to run after them, we expect to get them, and shall welcome them to our ranks. Yes, the silver democrats of Iowa are going t@ hold their state convention after the democratic and before the populist national conventions Scme other state democratic conventions are to be held about the same time. There may be an object in it. I shouldn’t be sur- prised if delegates from these state con- ventions were sent to our national conven- tion. We might not admit them as dele- gates, but we would not shut our doors on them. You may be sure of that.” Mr. Rozelle says that his party expects to nominate a candidate for Congress in every Missouri district.

SMITH-CRISP DEBATES. Importance of the Money Debate in Georgia. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. ATLANTA, Ga., April 2.—Secretary Smith and ex-Speaker Charles F. Crisp feel that their discussion of the money question has more than a state meaning. President Cleveland is understood to be looking to his Secretary to hold Georgla in the sound money ranks, and to save the delegation to Chicago, as he did four years ago, when the odds seemed to be against him. It was the personal work of Mr. Smith in holding Georgia for Mr. Cleveland against a power- ful Hill combine that made him Secretary of the Interior. Seven joint debates have heen arranged for, covering a period of two weeks. If Judge Crisp does not sustain his side of the question with great ability, the silver cause will suffer a great setback in Georgia, and the ex-Speaker will fail to reach the Sen- ate, for which he Is the only formally an- nounced candidate. Secretary Smith, who had been regarded as a candidate, stated in his correspondence leading up to this discussion that he is not a candidate, and does not desire to be one. Fleming DuBignon, a prominent corpora- tion attorney, and ex-president of the state senate, has stated repeatedly that he would be in the race, but he has never formal- iy declared. He is a sound money man, but his friends suspect that others who would like to be in the race, but do not want to contest with Crisp, are anxious to have Du- Bignon make the fight, and then, at the last minute, enter the race as dark horses. The financlal question will be the only issue in the state this campaign. Secretary Smith talked state banks to the legislature last fall, but the voters are sticking to the one issue. The masses of both the silver and sound money factions want a straight-out fight. Many of the politicians prefer a straddle or comptomise of some kind. Whichever it is, the populists and republicans will profit thereby. Plans of Republicans. The republicans never have been so active in Georgia since reconstruction days. They will put out a full state ticket for the first time in years. They will run candidates for the legislature and for Congress all over the state, whereas, heretofore, they have not maintained their organization for state campaigns In more than a dozen counties. The truth is Georgia is by no means dead sure for the democratic party next fall. The republicans and populists cut the demo- eratic majority of 71,000 for governor in 1892 down to 25,000 in 1894. There was a total loss to the democrats of 46,000 votes in two years. This year a further decrease of 13,000 would lose the state to the democ- racy. The republicans, if they do not fuse with the populists, stand a good show to carry at least one congressional district, the first, and, if they fuse, they may get three from the democrats, the first, fourth and tenth. ‘Yom Johnson, a son of ex-Governor Her- schel V. Johnson, who ran for Vice Pres!- dent with Stephen A. Douglass in 1860, will probably be the republican candidate for governor. He lives in Savannah, and has money and a good pull in the republican party. He could probably be collector of the port of Savannah if McKinley is elected, but he wants to fill the chair which his dis- tinguished father honored, although the salary is scarcely half as much as the fees of the collector of the port. Interest in the Debate. Populists and republicans are, thercfore, deeply interested in the coming joint de- bate on the financial question between the member of the cabinet and ex-Speaker of the House. The debate is sure to lead to more intense factional spirit in the democratic party, and to widen the breach which al- ready exists in Georgia, AFTER THE ELECTRIC LIGHT CO. A Warrant Issued Charging the Oc- cupation of Public Space. The United States Electric Light Com- pany is again to be taken into the Police Court. This time the complaint came from the Commissioners’ office to the police. Commissioner Powell addressed Lieut. Kelly a letter, calling his attention to an alleged violation of law on the part of the company in rear of the Hotel Emrich. It is charged that a lcop was put in from C street to the rear of the hotel. Yesterday afternoon Policeman Whalen swore out a warrant in the Police Court, charging Su- pertendent F. H.

What the Friends of the Maine Man Say. ~ A COMPROMISE POSSIBLE The wavering of the Reed line in New Hampshire recalls to the minds of the poll- ticians the stories that were in circulation a full year ago about the Maine man’s strength in New England. At that time Gen. Harrison was thought to be in the race for the presidency, and current report was that he had a very considerable fol- lowing in Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut, and would he able to hold it against Mr. Re2d. No explanation of this was vouchsafed by anybody. The Senators from those states would neither deny nor confirm the report. Those who in- dulged in speculation on the subject fan- cied they saw in the influence of Senator Proctor, who had served in Gen. Harrison's cabinet, an explanation of the Vermont situation; but the situation in Rhode Is- une and Connecticut remained unexplain- ed. . Has He Inherited Harrison’s Strength? ‘The question now comes up, has Mr. Mc- Kinley inherited this Harrison strength, as he appears to have inherited that in other sections? And, if so, will the fact appear at the conventions, soon to be held, of the three New England states named? Ver- mont, Rhode Island and Connecticut have yet to speak, but soon will do so. Their action will be awaited with all the greater interest because of New Hampshire's ac- tion. It is conceded that if they are for Mr. Reed they ought to speak with great distinctness; that a copy of the New Hampshire deliverance as to the candidates would in effect be another McKinley vic- tory—or rather three McKinley victories. Mr. Reed's Position. And if four of the six New England states go on record in this wavering way toward the local candidate, where will that place him in the race? At the outset he was accredited with the whole of New Eng- land without break or qualification. His strength elsewhere, as developed, is in New York, Pennsylvania, and in several of the scuthern states. He has no following .so far elther in the west or the northwest. So that, if weakened in New England, will he still be the best man upon whom the antl-McKinley forces can combine at St. Leuis? Mr. Reed, his friends point out, would, even in those adverse circumstances, be as well off as Mr. Allison. The Iowan has lost outright the whole of his surrounding ter- ritory. Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, the Dakotas and Nebraska, which stand in geographical relation to Iowa, as Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island and Connecticut do to Maine, are allin the McKinley column. As a com- promise man, therefore, the Maine candi- date and the Iowa candidate, on the score of positive strength to stand with, are thcught to be about on a par. As to Gen. Harrison. As a part of this speculation about a compromise man is heard again mention of the name of Gen. Harrison. But the talk awakens but a feint echo. Not that Gen. Harrisen has lost any of his hold on the hearts of the republicans, but his wartmest admirers Insist that a serious movement to make him a factor in the fight ncw would be unjust to him and to his fame. They have accepted his letter on the subject of a renomination as final, and are satisfied that such was the way that he himself meant it should be accepted. And, of course, the McKinley men accepi it as final. Morecver, as they have won since it was written in all the territory which before the letter was written was ciaimed for Gen. Harrison, including In- diana, they express themselves as confident of their ability to hold their own there lcw against all possible combinations. They ore confident that the men who tried to defeat Gen. Herrison at Minneapol could not this year make any Weadway With Mim as their unwilling candidate. EE SES RIDAY SERVICES.

The report of the committee on post of- fices and post roads, presented by Rep- resentative Swanson, and recommending the passage of the bill increasing the salary of the postmaster at Washington to $6,000 per annum, is accompanied by a letter from Postmaster General Wilson, in which he shows the justice of such action. In his communication the Postmaster General recites that since 1883 the gross receipts of the Washington office have increased $204,110.42, or 101 per cent. . Continuing, he says: “The commercial matter revenue of the Washington office today entitles the post- master to a salary of $5,000 per annum, and on this basis, plus $1,300 increase in the year 1883 allowed the postmaster at that time, the salary would reach $6,300 per annum, irrespective of the increase in governmental franked matter from that period. “In addition to the information shown aove the bond of the postmaster was in- creased on November 11, 18M, from $100,000 to $200,000.
