2 REED AND THE PRESIDENT. IfHT HE WII.I, NOT TAKE THE STUMP FOR McKINLEV. Recollection* of Ornmafic Scene* In the Room of the Rlk Man From Maine— %ii Interview That \\a* Never Published. nn<l W hy—Ren*on for Mr. Reeil** \ntipnthy Toward* Maj. McKinley. Washington, Aug. 9.—Former Speaker Thomas Brackett Reed will not lift hi* drawling, nasal, hut impressive voice in behalf of the re-election of William Mc- Kinley. This statement cannot and will not be denied. It <omes direct from a prominent member of the Republican par ty. who is actively engaged In promoting the interests of M< Kinley and Roosevelt. It is sustained by positive declarations on the subje t by the former Speaker him self. Those who are aware of the real extent of the feeling existing between Mr. Reed and President McKinley, have nccer for a moment credited the reports now current that the former Speaker would take the stump in behalf of the Republican ticket during ihe present campaign. Mr. Reed's silence during the pending campaign will be apologized for on the ground that he differs with the adminis tration on its expansion policy. That, however, is not the real seat of the diffi culty. So deep-seated is Mr. Reed’s per gonal antipathy towards Mr. McKinley that he would perhaps go out of his way to give aid and comfort to the political enemies of the Republican party by sug gestion or otherwise, rather than lift his finger to promote the success of any pub lic or private enterprise in which William McKinley might be a beneficiary. \V l> Me llatew McKinley. Now that Mr. Reeel has publicly with drawn from politics and is said to be rap idly accumulating an Independent fortune as advisory counsel to a number of rail road. insurance and other corporations, it is in order to relate a few incidents to show why the big man from Maine is so vindictive and almost cruel in his hatred of McKinley. From Mr. Reed's own lips fell the most hitter and scathing denun ciation of William McKinley when the latter carried off the presidential nomi nation at Ft. Louis, four years ago. It will be remembered that Mr. Reed was fin active, aggressive and confident can didate for the presidential nomination. He remained in Washington during the con vention of ’96. but was in direct com munication with his political sponsors at work in St. Louis. The very few per sons who were admitted 10 the then Speaker’s private apartments in the Shoreham Hotel will never forget the in tensely dramatic scene there enacted when the information came over the wire that McKinley had been nominated. Mr. Reed's private office was a long, narrow room on the fourth floor of the hotel. In one corner was a cylinder-top desk and a large, well-constructed revolv ing chair, capable of holding with per fect security the 296 pounds of solid flesh and bones in addition to a massive and active brain. The walls were decorated with political cartoons, the majority of which had the ex-Speaker as the central figure. Many of these cartoons were the original pen and ink sketches of the ar tist. presented io Miss Kitty Reed after publication. There was a soft and three additional chairs in the room—more than enough to accommodate the occupants of the apartment, when Mr. Reed, with a burst of indignation, rage, disappointment and blighted ambition, poured out a tirade of personal abuse upon his successful rival. The language he employed to de scribe how McKinley and his managers had resorted to corruption, bribery, du plicity. false promises and all the other crimes known to the political decalogue, was not at all like the choice epigrammat ic and dignified expressions which usually characterized his utterances. On this oc casion they were coarse, brutal and even profane, so that they revealed traits of character in the man which were pre viously unknown to some of those pres ent on that occasion. Not only did he abuse McKinley' and his* managers, but he also named a numt>er of conspicuous members of the Republican party in the South and the West as being traitors to his cause and selling themselves and their Influence for “dirty money” furnished by Mark Hanna and the great financial cor porations behind him. A Ornmatic Scene. The scene was Intensely dramatic. The usually white, flabby checkp and brow of Mr. Reed were livid with rage which he made no attempt to conceal, as he paced awkwardly up and down the narrow room, relieving himself of the bitterness he entertained for McKinley and those who had promoted his nomination. Time haa no# wiped out the hatred which Mr. Reed entertains for President McKinley. During the period Mr. Reed remained in Congress after McKinley’s election, the former never lost an oppor tunity to emphasize his personal hostility to every project which originated with the chief executive. He shunned the White House as he would a leopard's cave, and be antagonized every measure in which he fancied the President had a personal Interest. Those who had Mr. Reed's con fidence know that he was as bitterly op posed to the United States going to war with Spain as Senator Hale or any of the most pronounced Spanish sympathizers. Fortunately for 'Mr. Reed, he positively end emphatically' declined to allow him self to be quoted on the subject, notwith standing all sorts of ingenious contri vances were resorted to to exact from him his views on the then all important subject. In this connection, another dramatic in cident in the little narrow room on the fourth floor of the Shoreham Hotel might with propriety be related. It was on the occasion of the President’s proclamation declaring war against Spain A Washing ton correspondent of a well known news paper was requested to obtain for publi cation a statement or some comments from Mr. Reed with regard to the Span ish war and the President’s proclama tion-. Mr. Reed received his visitor with his usual sarcastic, but none the less friendly, greeting, nnd listened with n quizzical smile upon his broad, round face, while the correspondent explained the ob ject of his mission. As on previous oc casions. Mr. Reed declined o he inter viewed on the subject, and with increas ing firmness, impressed upon his visitor hi* reasons for not desiring to he quoted as that particular time. Being thorough ly convinced that Mr. Reed meant what he said, the correspondent expressed his regret that the American people were to be deprived of the light which the then Speaker might th^>w r upon the subject. Heed In Fine It nice. Subsequently, Mr. Reed relented so far os to sav, that while he emphatically ob jected to having his name mentioned on he subject, he would venture n few time ly suggestions for the information and guidance ot' the correspondent which the latter might adopt as his own. Where upon Mr. H**ed “unbelted’’ beautifully, in structively. and with all of his inimitable figure of expression. He denounced the Spanish f>olicy of the administration from beginning 10 end. and predicted all kind* of disaster to the government and the Horsford’s Acid Phosphate Relieves Fatigue.

At tbar time. Cuba was the principal piece of foreign territory in the pubke eye. and the Cuban policy of the President was handled without gloves. The conversa tion continued for nearly an hour. Speak ev Reed occupying almost the entire time, exclusive of a few interrogations to bring j out more forcibly certain features of his ' p:o'Spanish argument. When the correspondent retired, he was obliged to notify the home office of his failure to obtain the greatly desired au thorized statement from Speaker Heed. Upon reflection, the correspondent con cluded to write a general summary of the statements made by Mr. Reed, not as in authorized interview, but os a genera! expression of the views of the Speaker on the subject. Quotation marks were not employed, end a general running story of about one thousand words was pre pared. Tiie correspondent returned to Mr. Reed’s apartments. related the circumstances under which the article was written, and urged the speaker to read it over care fully, make such corrections in it as he desired and then consent to its publica tion. Mr. Reed flew into a passion, de nounced the correspondent as having be trayed a friendship of long standing and accused the writer of having broken faith with him and of intending to publish the article regardless of the injunctions under which the information was originally im parted. The Speaker was assured that such was not the intention of the corre spondent. and finally reluctantly proceed ed to read the article laid before him. Af ter reading the introduction, which really contained the substance of the story, and the author fully Identified. Mr. Reed lost his temper, sprang to his feet and repeat ed his denunciation of the correspondent. The latter tried to explain that the article would not be published without the full consent of the person who had inspired it. A warm colloquy ensued, during which Mr. Reed reiterated his accusation of bad faith on the part of the corre spondent. Without any intention of com peting with Speaker Reed in producing dramatic effeciH, under the impulse of the moment, the cot respondent snatched the manuscript from the Speaker’s desk, tore it into small pieces, and threw it into the waste basket close at hand. This was too much for the Speaker. His passion subsided and he humbly apologized for having doubted the good faith of the cor respondent. The substance of that Interview has never been published, but it is fresh in the memory of the author of this letter. CARPENTERS GO ON A STRIKE. Seemed to Think They Had the Best of a Contractor. Augusta, Aug. s.—About fifty carpen ters. employed in the erection of J. B White's new flve-etory store and hotel, have announced a strike and will not go to work to-morrow. They demand one hour a day less work and an increase in pay. Contractor J. 11. McKenzie, who is put ting up the buildings on this burnt block, says he js paying them more than any Other carpenters in town are receiving, because it is a rush Job, and he wanted no interference or neediess delays fiom men quitting to work on other Jobs. He is working day and night, one force of bricklayers and carpenters working by electric lights. The carpenters, it is claimed, got the idea that hi contract was such that he could not lose litne parleying, and would accede to their terms. Contractor Mc- Kenzie says a clause in his contract al lows time In case of a strike, and he cannot and will not pay more. He does not know to what extent the strike will extend among other workmen, but ad vertises to-morrow for fifty carpenters to take the places of the strikers. COTTON GROWERS! TO MEET. They Will Organize a Branch Associ ation In Pntnan. Eatonton, Gn., Aug. s.—There will be a mass meeting of the citizens of Putnam county at the Court House next Tuesday, for the purpose of perfecting a sub-or ganization of the Cotton Growers' Pro tective Association. President Jordan will be on hand to address the meeting, and to explain the plans and purposes of the association. A great deal of Interest is manifested In the movement, and it is believed that this will result in much benefit to the farmers, and all business connected with and dependent upon the farmer. The movement in Putnam is headed by Thos. G. Lawson and John T. Dennle, two of the county’s largest planters and most influential citizens. The growth of the town is manifest in many ways, but none more significant than the opening of two commodious lodging houses within the past week. The proprietors of the new hostelries are J. R. Webster and C. B. Zaehry. These in addition to the two large hotels, will he amply able to accommodate the hoarding population for some time to come. RUBBER FOUGHT A WAITER. Roth Paid Attention to the game Womnn and Fell Out. Ealonton, Oa., Aug. s.—Friday after noon, about 5 o'clock, Fred Waters, a ton sorial artiet from Jasper county, who re cently moved Into Eatonton, endeavored to dissect the cranium of Lawson Scott, a waiter at the Hotel Putnam. It seems that Lawson and Fred move In the "up pah" circle® of Eatonton's darktown four hundred, and both Fred and Lawson were paying attentions to the same damsel. The colored barber publicly announced that he would make "hash" of Scott’s body In order to retaliate for numerous remarks made by Scott derogatory to Waters' character. When the difficulty occurred Waters gave Scott very little chance, but proceeded to break a heavy breast yoke over Scott's head, and started after him with an ugly-looklng razor. But for the timely Interference of the police, Scott would have been killed. As it Is now, Scott Is In a dangerous condi tion. Cases were made against both par ties, and no doubt the road gang will have two new additions. WAYNE COUNTY PHIMAHY. Candidates Selected by the Demo cratic Party. Jesup, Ga., Aug. s.—The Democratic pri mary was held In Wayne county yester day for the selection of candidates with the following result: Senator for Third Senatorial District, R. B.

IMMENSE ICE FLOES SEEN. They Will niork PiiNNnge of Peary Hellrf Steamer lVlnitwnril, St. Johns, N. F., Aug. s.—The Labrador mall steamer Virginia Lake, which ar rived here to-day. reports that the Peary relief steamer Windward passed through the straits of Belle Isle last Sunday bound north. She also reports that Immense Ice floes still block the northern ebast of Labrador. Thia will aerlousiy impede the Windward s passage. The mail steamer was unable to get beyond Double Island, the floe there being impaeeable. Hundred* of flailing schoen ers were similarly blocked. THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, AUGUST fi. 1900. REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL. THE ONLY I9SUK THtT DIVIDES FLORIDA DEMOCRATS. Voter* Will Deride In the Primary on Nov. (> Whether They Would Like to Have the Capital Removed and Where—The Legl*ln t are Will Then Consider a Constitutional Amendment to He Submitted to Ihe People. Tallahassee, F!a., Aug. s.—The only state issue dividing the people of Flor ida in the political campaign of this year is: Shall Ihe slate capital be removed from Tallahassee? If so, to what place? This question is to be practically settled by a white Democratic primary, to be held Nov. 6 next. It has been placed squarely before them for decision by the insertion In the platform adopted by Ihe recent Demo ratio. State Convention of the following plank: “The question of the removal of the seat of government and as to the holding of a constitutional convention should be set tled by the white Democratic electors of the state at a primary election to be held at the time of the state election, Nov. 6. 1900, to be participated in by only white Democrats, who, in said general election, shall have voted for the candi dates of this convention.’’ The constitution of Florida provides that “The seat of government shall be at the city of Tallahassee, in the county of Leon.’’ Tallahassee was established as the capital of the territory of Florida in 1823, two years after the purchase of the territory from Spain, the location having been chosen by a commission appointed by President Monroe for that purpose, consisting of Dr. W. H. Simmons and John L. Williams, Esq. Abortive efforts have been made from time to time since 1849 to remove the capi tal to a more easterly town. The pres ent movement, however, is by far the most serious and best organized ever started. The contest is entirely within the lines of the Democratic party, ahd only white Democratize will be allowed to participate. The Democrats are in absolute control of Florida, and their platform continues as follows: “In the event that a place other than Tallahassee shall have received a plu rality of the votes cast for the location of the sefiit of state government, it shall be the duty of the State Legislature to provide for the submission to the elector? of a constitutional amendment, providing for the change of location to that place chosen at said primary election, and it shall be the duty of all Democrats to vote for such constitutional omendrrent. If Tallahassee shall receive the plurality vote, then the Legislature shall there provide better and safer accommodations for the state’s records and business." Made a New Precedent. Thus has the Democratic State Con vention. establishing a precedent hereto fore unknown in Florida, sought to dic tate positively and directly the action of both the legislature, which is sure to be overwhelmingly Democratic, and also of the Democratic voters of the state, iri the event that the white Democrats give some other town than Tallahassee a plu rality of their votes at the November pri mary. This would, in effect, shut out all Republicans and colored Democratic voters from any voice in the location of the state capital. As seen, the constitution must be amend ed before the capital can be removed from Tallahassee. The constitution pro vides, concerning amendments, that such amendments proposed in either house of the Legislature, shall require for adop tion the votes of three-fifths of all the members elected to each House, shall be entered upon the journals, published in one newspaper in each county for three months immediately preceding the next general election, and submitted at such election for approval or rejection by the voters. The primary will be held Nov. 6. If a plurality of the white Democratic electors vote for removal to a place other than Tallahassee, the necessary constitutional amendment will be proposed at the session of the Legislature to meet next April, and if it is adopted by a three-fifths vote in each house, will bo submitted to the peo ple at the general election in November. 1902. If the majority of the electors voting upon such amendment favor its adoption, it will become a part of the constitution, to take effect as of ihe day of its adoption. The cities entered as candidates for the location of the capital ore Tallahassee, Jacksonville, St. Augustine. Ocala and Gainesville. With the exception of Talla hassee all of these towns are In the Sec ond, or East Florida Congressional Dis trict, All of them have formed active as sociations, composed of their strongest men, to work for the capital, and the whole state is being flooded with litera ture and oratory setting forth the advan tages of the several aspirants. The several towns striving to displace Tallahassee as the state's capital are each urging, as the main grounds for their se lection, that they ore more modern and progressive than Tallahassee, nearer the center of the state's population, more ac cessible by transportation lines, and that Florida needs a larger and finer state house to accommodate her officials and show to her winter visitors. There are many indications, however, that the whole question will resolve itself into one as to whether at this (ime the taxpayers of Florida are able and ready to bear the additional burden of taxation which would have to be imposed upon them iri order to remove the seat of government and erect a handsome million dollar capitol, as is proposed. The Old Capitol. It has been ascertained by direct inquiry that the present State House Is large enough and eufficlently protected for ill the needs' of every branch of the state government. It is an old building, hut one of the moet substantial in the state. Tallahassee enjoys advantages of superior healthfulness and cheapness of living. It Is widely believed, too. that the incidental expenses of running the state government were present removal plans carried through, would be multiplied over present figures. That portion of the state west of the Suwannee river is said to be practically solid against capital removal. A large number of people In Eastern and Penin sular Florida, however, desire the capital in their section. A majority of Florida's population is east and south of the Su wannee. but many of them are said to lie against capital removal at this time on account of the expense Involved. Especially are the fruit-growers,who have suffered so severely In the last half dozen years from killing freezes, opposed to this movement until they are able to recoup the losses which they had to bear. Another obstacle in the way of capital removal is that unless the constitutional provision relative to the issuance of state bonds Is amended, there is no way ro raise the necessary money except by direct tax atlon, and this would require such a large exira levy thai II Is thought to be entirely impracticable. Section 6of Article IX of the state constitution provides that "The Legislature shall have power to provide for issuing stale bonds only for the pur pose of repelling Invasion or suppressing Insurrection, or for the purpose or re- No Gripe, Pain Ordiscomfort.no Irritation of the In testines—but gentle, prompt, thorough healthful cleansing, when you take Hood's Pills Sold by all druggists. 25 cents ' -v. deeming or refunding bonds already issued, at a lower rate of interest.” The tax payers of the state are understood to be strongly opposed to changing or weaken ing this safeguard against the increase of the state’s bonded debt, which is now a little more than $1,000,000. COTTON GHOWDRS’ CONVENTION* Organized at Vnldonta—Other New* From That Town. Valtlosia, Ga., Aug. s.—President Harvie Jordan of the Georgia Cotton Growers' As sociation was here Saturday and organ ized a branch of the association in this county. About sixty of the most promi nent farmers of the coumy, both Demo crats and Populists, joined the club and the offices were about equally divided be tween representatives of the two parties. Mr. Jordan made a good, sensible address to the farmers, the Court House being full of them. It took some little time to-day to get down the names of all who will join the association and mans', being in a hur rs - to get out of town, did not become members, but may join later on. A .branch of the State Agricultural So ciety was also formed after the meeting and delegates were appointed to go to the convention at Dublin iPext week. The com ing of Ihe State Fair to this section has had a wonderful effect in stirring the far mers up on all lines and they are organ izing 10 work for themselves, rather than for ihe politicians in future. The young boy, Roscoe Jester, who was sent away from Macon last week to keep from having to send him to the chain gang, arrived here and spent two or three days. His experience, however, was much as it was in Macon. He robbed the man who gave him board df a pistol and then left for parts unknown. He carried an old rusty pistol when he came here, but being only 11 years old, the man who took him in charge persuaded him to leave the weapon with him, as he might get in trouble if caught carrying it around with him. The boy gave him his pistol, but when he got ready to leave he went in his host's trunk and stole his pistol, then left the city. The police and the board ing house man both seem perfectly will ing for the boy to keep the pistol if he will only keep away from the city. A negro named Dan Oliver had his foot mashed nearly off last night in an eleva tor which was used to carry material on the new Converse building. The negro was dangling his foot over the sides of the elevator, when it was caught between the joists, mashing it as flat as a pan cake. The negro suffered a great deal from his injuries. BRUNSWICK BASEBALLISTS. They Are Ready low for Anything That Comes Along. Brunswick, Ga., Aug. s.—Brunswick's baseball aggregation, headed by Manager Henry Hlrseh and accompanied by a num ber of local sports, returned this morning from Savannah. They were met at the depot by a crowd of enthusiastic fans and have been the toast of the boys to-day. To-morrow will be spent In practice, and Tuesday and Wednesday Brunswick will cross bats with Fernandina’s crack team on the Brunswick diamond. These two games are mostly for the purpose of siz ing up the relative strength of the two teams preliminary to placing bets on a SI,OOO series Brunswick and Fernandina will play three weeks from Wednesday in Savannah os neutral ground. The Brunswick boys are highly enthus iastic over the treatment accorded them in Savannah, and have nothing but praise for Savannah people. Wednesday night Brunswick's aggregation will leave for Atlanta, where they will meet the "All Professionals” in a series of three games for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. From Atlanta they go to Rome, Ga., and from Rome to Selma. Ala. At each of which places they will play a series of three games. Manager Hirsch states that Brunswick will be backed by ample cash, and the money is open to all comers when they reach Atlanta. Counting the bets, gate money and pursea won in Savannah last week, Brunswick's aggregation and their back ers came home several thousand dollars ahead on the three games. THE WEATHER.

The best is the Wheoler Brand of Bel fast Ginger Ale, made by Wheeler & Cos., of Belfast, Ireland, from the celebrated Cromac Springs of that city. These springs are the property of Wheeler & Cos., hence no other Ginger Ale manufac turer in Ireland has those waters but thcmeelves. The Wheeler Ginger Ale is made from pure Jamaica Ginger Root and not from Red Pepper, as others are; one Is deleterious—the other is a tonic. For Healthfulness and Purity the cele brated Wheeler brand of Belfast Ginger Ale is the best. LIPPMAN BROTHERS, Bole Southern Agents. Savannah, Ga. THE WAY TO CLEAN CARPETS.
