THE AMEK1CUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECOEDEK: FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1891.
FROM WASHINGTON.
THE REPUBLICANS NERVOUS ABOUT
THE CAMPAIGN IN OHIO-
McKinley Crying Out for Money to Help
Him—"Soap" Alio Is theOnly Thing That
Will Save Iowa—Sherman Likely to With
draw from the Senatorial Tussle in Ohio.
Washington, July 01, 1891.—“Ilelp
me, Cassius, or I sink,*’ was the sub
stance of a communication from Mr.
McKinley, of Ohio, to the national ex
ecutive committee of the republican
party, which met here this week. The
story, as it is told here, is that Mr. Mc
Kinley sent a very urgent appeal to the
committee for a large sum of money to
be used in the Ohio campaign, and that
ho sent along with it a very broad inti
mation that unless it was forthcoming
the jig was up with both himself and
the legislature in that state.
He is also said to have suggested that
the committee might easily raise the
money by putting the screws on the
manufacturers specially benefited by
his tariff bill.
And that was not the only appeal for
money presented to the committee.
Mr. Clarkson told his colleagues that un
less a good sized barrel of cash was
rolled into Iowa, that state would take
its place permanently in the democratic
column, and Secretary Fassett presented
bills for a considerable amount left un
paid from last year's disastrous cam
paign. Hut these were minor things,
aud excited but little interest compared
with the resignation of Quay, not only
as chairman of the two committees, hut
as a member of the national committee;
and the resignation of Dudley as treas
urer of both committees. There was a
goad deal of pretended regret at being
compelled to accept theso resignations*
and high-flying resolutions were adopted
referring to both of them, which will
probably.be regarded by the retiring of
ficials as “vindications.”
Mr. Harrison tried to stem the Blaine
tide which controls the republican com
mittee by appointing ono of its mem
bers—J. Sloat Fassett—to be collector of
the port of New York, in place of Kr-
liardt, whose resignation lias beeu ac
cepted.
Harmony of the monkey and parrot
kind is prevalent in the treasury depart
ment just now. At least three of Secre
tary Foster’s most Important subordi
nates would hail with pleasure the news
that ho had resigned, and they would
resign themselves if it wasn’t for the
fact of their having to give up their sal
aries if they did. Tho subordinates
mentioned arc Assistant Secretary
•C’ronnse, Treasurer Nebcker and Immi
gration Commissioner Owens, all of
whom arc recent arrivals at the govern
ment trough. The trouble with the
first two is that Mr. Foster, with the
warning of the ltaurn case fresh m his
mind, refused to allow them to appoint
their sons to bo their private stfereta*
rics; and Mr. Owens is disgruntled be
cause bis opinion that Welch tin-plate
workers could be brought to the United
States under contract, without violating
the alien contract law, has been repudi
ated by the secretary, who has written
another letter to tho party who made
tho inquiry, stating that t/io depart
ment was not prepared at this time to
answer hypothetical questions, such as
the ono propounded. It is said that Mr.
Foster also took occasion to givo Mr.
Owens a very sharp lecture on the duties
of subordinate officials.
Mr. Wanamakcr has lod a delegation
of Alabaini ins, headed by Senators Mor
gan and Hugh, to believe that he would
favorably consider their request to make
Mobile one of the ports from which a
subsidized line of steamships will run to
gouth America.
With a great flourish of trumpets the
announcement is made that a reciproci
ty treaty has been negotiated with tho
mighty republic of San Domingo, which
will go into effect September 1.
Members of tho administration have
already begun to discuss tho ways and
means of raising the money th;.t it will
bo necessary to have in tho near future
to meet pension payments under the
present laws. Some sort of a new tax
has got to be imposed, and the most of
them seem inclined to put it upon whis
ky, by raising the revenuo from DO cents
> per gallon to something between $1.20
and $1.50 per gallon. However, all that
the administration can do is to make
suggestions; the democratic house of
representatives will determine what
shall bo done.
Senator Sherman’s fiicndsare trying
hard to rnako it appear that they look
lightly upon tho opposition of the far
mers’ alliance to Ids re-election; but in
reality they regard it as such a serious
matter that unless they can succeed in
patching up some soitof a reconciliation
before long, ono of them said that Sher
man would bo compelled to withdraw,
in order to save himself the ignominy of
defeat.
Had Mr. Harrison been able to circu
late, incognita, among the prominent
republican politicians who were here
this week, consequent upon the meeting
of tho national executive committee, lie
would certainly have arrived at the con
clusion that he was no longer “in it,” as
far as a nomination is concerned. It was
unquestionably a Blaine week in Wash
ington, and if the national committee
can bring it about. Blaine is to be nomi
nated, and ono of their number—Col.
Conger of Ohio—is authority for tho
statement that he will accept the nomi
nation it it is tendered him.
is IT SLAVEJIV?
TheConvIft I,M»cSy»teui to be Attacked
In the Court*.
Knoxville, Tenn., July;>0.—It seems
to be the understanding now that the
miners will not release the convicts
til the courts have taken action.
If they fail and the legislature fails
they will be released in sixty days.
Gene-al G. I*. M. Turner of Memphis
has been employed to fight the convict
lease system by the trades people. He
goes to Coal Creek this morning, where
he will make a speech to-night or to
morrow night.
Ho holds that there is no act author
izing the lease of the convicts. He will
also attack the lease under the thirteenth
amendment to the constitution of the
United States, claiming that to lease the
convicts is to sell them as slaves.
The labor union of this city, acting
with Chattanooga, will employ three ad
ditional attorneys to help him.
He concedes that if there was a law
authorizing the lease it could not be re
scinded by the legislature.
The bill will be filed in Gibson’s court,
and the question is often asked whether
he is competent.

A yellow lien with a blue tail is the
subject of an interesting lawsuit in an
Alabama court.
“I’m glad of It; served him right.”
This was the general expression yes
terday among many of our merchants,
while discussing the fate of Steve Ityan
of Atlanta, tho dry goods “plunger,"
who was recently plunged into a dun
geon cell by the edict of a heartless
judge.
“Yes, sir; I heartily, endorse the sen
tence of the court!” was the exclamation
of one of our merchants. “It is high
time this swindling was stopped, and
that is the only way to stop it—put the
swindler in jail. There lias been too
much of this falling business throughout
tlie country, and particularly in the
south. Why, it has got to be so that an
honest dealer can hardly get a dollar's
worth of credit from the large wholesale
houses in the north. And all owing to
certain scoundrels abusing the confi
dence of those who give them credit.
Such men as Steve Ilyan, who aim to
kill off all competition by selling below
actual cost, are a curse to any communi
ty. It is a very simple matter to sell
below cost, on the part of any dealer, if
he never intends to pay for his goods. I
trust that tlie fate of Steve Ityan will be
a warning to all such would-be dry goods
‘princes.' ”
“I believe Ityan was crazy on the sub
ject of being a big gun in the dry goods
trade," said another merchant. "You
sec, ho spent much time in N'ew York,
and bought very heavily. Consequently
ho was given a good deal of taffy by cer
tain wholesale men in that city. They
made him believe that he was destined
to wear the mantle of tlie late A. T.
Stewart, and all that sort of stuff. The
result was that he hail a severe attack of
‘big head,' and overplayed himself. That
is about the size of it. lie didn't Intend
to get away with the goods, but as lie
lost in the game of freezing out bis
neighbors, ho will have to submit to liis
fate. For my* part I have no sympathy
with him or any man who plays the
game of ‘hog’ on ids neighbor. IIo tried
to undersell other dealers, and drive
them out of tho business, by dishonest
practices. In tills he failed, and every
body is glad of it."
“Why, my friend, let me tell you tho
cold truth," answered another dealer to
tho reporter's request for an opinion.
I’m actually ashamed to ask for credit
in Xcw York since that Ityan exposure.
All my orders now are based on
the cash in ray possession.
1 wouldn’t run the risk of being
snubbed by asking for credit, although
I don't owe any men a dollar. This
Ityan failure has hurt us all along tho
lino. 1 can’t .peak for other merchants,
but in my opinion the present bankrupt
law needs overhauling and reconstruct
ing badly. Tlie simple truth is, there is
not, nowadays, ono honest failure out of
ten. A certain man steals live or ten
dollars, Is found out, and goes to jail for
being a tbief. Another man steals *100.-
000, salts it away, and, as a rule, goes
free, on tho ground that he is only a
bankrupt. In six months after the
financial storm, you will find this fraud
acting as ‘agent’ for Ids mother-in-law,
or Ids w ife, in the same business In an
other street or in another town, oil an
enlarged scale, with the money he has
stolen. And yet the law can't touch
ldm. What a farce! Iu my opinion,
thero are thousands of theso so-called
‘agents' who ought to bo in jail, and as
to Ityan, ho only got what ho deserved,
and I trust that somebody will iujcct
into our lawmakers tho necessity of doing
something which will make it impossible
for any other ‘plunger’ to play the same
game.','
