Senator Voorhets Talks About the
Sherman Law Repeal.
SENATE ON ITS PASSAGE.
|l Rtetlved tba Republican Vote Then
Rad the Democrat. Voted Solid
Against It—He Still Be-
r 1 loves In White Metal
Washington, July 8.—Senator Voor-
hees, chairman of the senate finance
committee, says that every Democratic
vote in the sentae was recorded against
the Sherman act.
He saye the entire strength of both
parties was represented in the vote;
that every Democrat who was present
voted against it, while absent Demo
crats were paired against it. On the
Other side, he says every Republican
vote was recorded in favor of the bill.
It was, be says, the atraightest party
vote cast dnring tbe lass congress.
He says that when the bill was pend
ing he and other Democrat* who be
lieved in a bimetallic currency went to
Senators Jones and Stewart, of Nevada,
Teller and Walcott,' of Colorado, and
other Republicans favoring silver, and
pleaded with them to aid in defeating
the Sherman bill; that they warned
these senators that the Sherman bill
was the moat destractive measure to
silver ever proposed.
“Now,” added Senator Voorhees,
“they see and feel the resalt of their
own work. Why shonld we not vote to
repeal the act,” continued Senator
Voorhees, “when all of ns voted against
it.*,
Senator Voorhees says he has not
abated one jot or tittle of his belief in
g ver, and that he contemplates a reac-
n which will bring it to the front as
the coin of the people.
Giovar Is Better.
Private Secretary Thnrber has re
ceived a letter and a telegram from the
president. The letter related entirely
to public business. The telegram states
that tbe president is so much better that
he is preparing for fishing Monday.
His troublesome tooth was extracted,
and that-was the only operation per
formed. His attack of rheumatism has
yielded to treatment, and the president
can virtually be said to be enjoying bis
usual health.
'll I* Georgia’. Own Fault.
Ten days ago Martin V. Calvin, of
Georgia, wrote Mr. Morton, secretary
of agriculture, protesting against the
low average production credited to
Georgia in annual national agricultural
reports in the matter of oats, corn,
wheat, bay, etc. Mr. Calvin says tho
0jov£jnmei»t reports are j^cepted bp the
United btates and toe world as oo.*reeL
Georgia has unwisely refused te make
provision whereby accurate and full
crop statistics may be collated. Mr.
Calvin save the government reports
discount absolutely the claim the peo
ple and press of the state are daily
making as to Georgia’s fertile soil.
Mr. Calvin urged Secretary Morten
to lond his assistance in correcting this
inequality. In an interview with the
secretary he pressed the situation home.
This most be corrected, else till efforts
to induce people to come to Georgia
will fall to tbe gronnd. It most be cor
rected at home. The department is not
at fanlt, but Secretary Morton will aid
to tbe extent of bis authority.

SOME STINGING WORDS
Between two Very Prominent South
• Carolinians.
Columbia, 8. C., July 8:—The sensa
tion of the day is a stinging attack up
on United States Senator J. L. M. Irby,
by Adjutant General Hugh L. Farley
in an open letter published in the
Journal this evening.
Both of these men are Governor
Tillman’s right-hand political aides.
The letter denounces Irby in un
measured terms, which may bring on
grave trouble. Oatside of the personal
issue which will be extended to the
friends of the two men, the affair has
a deep political significance, and may
create the biggest kind of a breach in
tbe ranks of the administration.
Referring to a newspaper article from
Washington, in which it was stated
that the rank and file of the Tillman
party were pleased with the liaiersbip
der to accomplish his selfish purpose,
and to gratify his malice and ambition."
He will not submit “to the abase and
misrepresentations of this load-mouth
ed, vagi or mannered bally and brag
gart who has already disgraced ns in
Washington and is now bringing dis
cord into onr own ranks by playing
the part of a dictator and tyrant. He
has no good record, and has done
nothing for the state, the party or the
reform movement worthy of distinction,
unless it be for strutting around
Washington like a big book nigger on
emancipation day. He is trying to
make onr innocent and unsuspecting
people believe that the bray of a jack
ass is the roar of a lion."

Tba French Chamber Pass a Strong Vote
of Confldenee.
Paris. July 8.—A violent -attack on
M. Dupuy, prime minister, was made
in the chamber of deputies by M. Pau
lin Mery and Tony Revillon. The at
tack bad its origin in the coarse the
government has punned towards riot
ers, and the three deputies were very
bitter in their denunciations of the
prime minister.
Their tirade had no effect on the sen
timent of the chamber, for the house,
by a vote of 848 to 184, adopted the or
der of the day, expressing confidence in
the government. After the result of
the vote was announced, M. Ernest R -
cha demanded that M. Dupuy be pros
ecuted on thi charge of fomenting civil
war.
The chamber rejected the demand,
and at 12:55 o’clock adjourned.
Think Order Is Restored*
Aside from the wreckage on the
streets in the section in which the riot
ers fought the police and Republican
Guard and the extra number of troops
on duty, the city presents its nsnal/ip-
pearance.
All newspapers agree that the lost
riots were milder than those that have
occurred every night for a week and
express their belief that tho firm hand
of the government will-restore order.
Two hundred arrests of rioters hav«
been made.

some of the lieutenants,” and with
Which Farley’s name is connected,
Farley says:
“The whole thirg sprang from the
malice and the imag iati m of one who
evidently aspires to be the champion
liar cf the state. I have the evidence
which shows that one, Senator John
Laurens Mooing Irby, dictated tbe
article to bis private secretary and had
itsenttothe Augusta Chronicle under
the name of Ciaddock, the regular cor
respondent, without his knowledge or
consent.”-
General Farley declares that “this
great political accident and political
misfortune (lrb]> is at the bottom of
tbe dlsse'sion and confusion in the
Tillman ranks.” He states that after
Irby, “by his fool course” in Washing
ton, had lost hiB influence “after
making an ass of himself, be tnrns in
envy, malice and disappointment to
blacken every man who, he thinks, can
not be made a tool of and will not sub
mit to his dictation, knowing that he
has no real power or influence of bis
own, be tries to drag Governor Tillman
into tbe quarrels to attach himself to
him like a Siamese twin, hoping to
save himself. His purpose is to bully
and keep down every other political
leader in South Carolina who belongs

GEORGE W. LYON RESIGNS.
Ha Has Saved the Secretary of the Treas
ury «ha Troublo of Removal.
New York, July 8.—George W.
Lyon, surveyor of the port, sent bis re
signation to President Cleveland to
take effect on the appointment of his
inccessor. Mr. Lyon bad obtained 80
days’ leave of absence and started for
bis country, home on the Connecticut
river. UntiLhis resignation is accepted,
Auditor Samnel D. Blatchford will be
keting surveyor.
Surveyor Lyon wrote- to Secretary
Carlisle a letter of explanation. He had
refused to prepare a list of employees in
the surveyors department for the Fair-
child commission, saying that he was
unaware of any authority the commis
sion had for its existence.
. Then Secretary. Carlisle directed Mr.
Lyon to give the information called for.
Mr. Lyon still demurred and wrote a
letter to that effect to be forwarded to
the secretary. The letter was not for
warded, and finally Mr. Lyon wrote to
the secretary that he had now compiled
a list of the employes and other infor
mation requested by the enstom house
commission, and left the documents in
the hands of Auditor Blatchford for the
commission. In explanation of bis
coarse in this matter one of tho survey
ors advisers said that Mr. Lyon had
concluded that his controversy with the
secretary might injure Auditor Blatch-
ford, who has held over under Demo-
to the reform party and will not do his -ratio and Republican administrations,
bidding, and then* raise old Cain and
keep hell a breaking loose until he can
get back into tbe senate.”
General Farley concludes by saying
that he will not follow such men as
Iiby, “who would drag the state into
bloodshed and actual revolution in or
