Macon Telegraph Bureau
No. 515 Fourtep-nth Street,
Washington, May 17. 1
My dispatches respecting the Republican
programme on tariff from the beginning of
(lie session have been based on reliable
and exclusive information. Eventa now
occuring bear out all I have written as to
the dissentions in that party. The Republi
can leaders are certainly conferring with a
view to agreement on a substitute for the
Democratic bill. They will probably modi-
* fy, in a few important particulars, the meas-
tire telegraphed Monday night. The sugar
programme will be changed somewhat.
The Republican leaders profess greater
confidence within the last few days in their
ability to defeat the Mills bill, the fact that
they do not immediately consent to
take a vole shows that they do not feel that
they are ont of the woods. They are making
acme wild calculations as to Mr. Randall’s
strength. It is learned that the following
are relied on as allies: Messrs. Randal), Hall
and Sowden, of Pennsylvania; Bliss, Green-
man and Merriman, of New York; McAdoo
and Pidcock, of New Jersey; Granger and
Ywiice, of Coiiiieetietit; Campbell Sad rerun,
of Ohio, and Fisher, of Michigan—thirteen
iu all. It is well known that this calculation
is wide of the mark.. The Republicans com
cede Fitch, of New York, and Nelson, of
Minnesota, to the Democrats.
MR. COX’S SPEECH.
Mr. Cox made, to-day, perhaps, the finest
speech of his life. His colloquy with Butter
•worth, his comfhents on Woodbum’s re.
cent effort, and his admirable defense of
English free trade leaders and the free
trade movement were all equally graphic,
although employing different powers of the
mind. Nothing ever said in the House
t.anscended his elegant and witty impale,
ment of Mr. Burrows. The Democrats
gave Mr. Cox n grand ovation at the opeu
ing and close of his speech.
Following the brilliant veteran from New
York, was a speech from Mr. Mason, of Chi
co go, which delighted his Repub
lican friends apparently beyond
any effort of the session. It was
more smutty and venomous than anything I
ever heard in the House. The fact that it
■was received with choking bursts of laugh
ter and thunders of applause shows to what
degradation the Republican party oan des
cend. Not r. Democrat replied to his abuse
of the South. The Georgia members say to-
nivht that the speech was too indecent for
notice by gentlemen. It may suit the slums
of Chicago, but will hardly please more fas
tidious Republicans when seen in cold type.
The fellow Mason selected a day when the
galleries were crowded with Baptist minis
ters and their wives and daughters to belch
forth bis obscenity.
To-morrow and Saturday will be the great
spectacular days *of the debste. The
speeches of Messrs. Breckinridge, Randall,
McKinley, Reed and Carlisle will be heard
by all who can get inside the chamber or
near the doors in the corridor.
GEORGIA MATTERS.
Mr. Blount presented the petition of Jacob
Gainey, administrator of Elizabeth Gainey,
late of Wilkinson county, for reference of
war claim amounting to $1,500.
Mr. Clements has presented papers in the
claims of Benjamin Hamilton and N. P. Hal
bon, of Whitfield county.
Judge Crisp has been detained at home
longer than expected by the illness
of Ms daughter. He expects to arrive here
8tturday. If Miss Crisp is well enough she
will accompany him.
Mr. Blount has been endeavoring, with
probability of success, to have postil cars
put on the Southwestern railroad. It is ex
preted that the cars will be running within
two weeks from to day.
Rev. Dr. Wharton, of Alabama, formerly
of Georgia, it here among the Southern Bap

Washington, May 17.—Mr. Henderson
of Iowa, presented a conference report

Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas opened bis

tional measure, desigued to injure the wool
growers of the North and West. In Bupport
of his denial, he stated that from 1875 to i . —
1887 sheep in Southern States had increased , ^ .
from 5,000,000 to 9,000,000, while during John Wise Organizes a Bolt
the same period sheep in New Englaud,
New York, Ohio and Pennsyl
vania had fallen off from
9,000,000 to 8,000,000. -The future of the
sheep industry would be in the South and
the proposition to make wool free, instead
of being sectional, wsa a generous offer, be
cause sheep were more of a product of the
South than of the States that were clamor
ing against this feature of the bill. In con
clusion, he said that the bill proposing to
remedy the existing evils of the tariff was a
moderate uud conservative measure. It was
not a sectional bill. The condition of affairs
at this time did not permit of the question
assuming sectional phase. There had been
a time when the development of the country
from which he came wmi limited by institu
tions which, he was happy to say, had gone
forever, but now, under free labor, his coun
try was developing in every way. The pend
ing question was a national one, and it was
for the people to determine whether they
would take the first step as proposed by the
Mills bill towards a return to something like
a peace establishment or whether they
would permit the war tariff and the system
of subsidy to obtain in the land. [Applause.]
SPEECH OF MR. COX.
Mr. Cox next took the floor, and for an
hour kept the house interested nnd amused
by one of his characteristic alternating, wit
ty, satirical and serious speeches, provoking
abundant laughter and applause. He held
that the prime question was to reduce the
to the election of lour delegate'! at large to
St Louis convention. The following were
elected unanimously by acclamation: Jas.
T. Hart, of York; F. W. Dawson of Charles
ton; Wilie Jones, of Columbia; nnd C. A.
Wood, of Marion. The following were
elected as alternates: T. M. ltayson, of
Orangeburg; A M. Ruth, of Hampton; S.
T. McCrai.ey, of Spartauberg; and F. F.
Rhoine, of t larendon.
The convention, bv vote of 207 to 81, re
fused to agree to a primary election for State
officers, but provided fora preliminary can
