The Presidential Bee dezlng.
For Presidential candidates just now,
all roads lead to New York. McKinley
and Allison have already visited that
city, on private business, of course.
Tom Reed is visiting there now, and
General Harrison, fresh from winning
a big lawsuit with a $15,000 fee attach-
cd, is now on the scene of Tam~
many’s former triumphs. As for Levi
P. Morton, he is New York’s favorite
son at present, and makes New York
city his stamping ground whenever he
feels like it. >
There is naturally some curiosity as
to‘the reason for this pilgrimage 0f the
candidates to New York at this time.
The Republican convention is more
than a year off, and a good many things
inay happen in a year. Perhaps it is
the fear of what may happen that is in-
ducing all the prominent Republican
Presidential possibilities to become
early birds. But whether they are
coquetting with Mr. Platt or with
Mayor Strong and the Union League
reformers is what none of the Presiden-
tial visitors has declared in confidence
to anybody. Perhaps they are only on.
a visit of reconnoisance to try and find
out which is the bigger man in New
York politics, Plait or Reform.
There is one point which the visit of
the Republican aspirants to New York
stems to settle and that is that they,
one and all, realize that a fifty-cent sil- .
yer dollar candidate will not be selected
as a standard bearer by the next Re-
pubifciui convent-ion. They are one
and all willing to face the charge of
having visited where the gold bugs most
do congregate.
tainty indicated is that a Presidential
canvass is already under way and that
a whole lot of Republican candidates
are tumbling over each other to get the
start and a good send off in the first
heat.
Meantime, Rev. Mr.
sermon to the G. A. R. Sunday night,
put in nomination as a Republican Pres-
' idential candidate, brave, honest and
faithful Gen' Ben. F. Tracy of New York
and the good parson’s nomination was
seconded by the“‘vets” with all the ap-
plauding approval the proprieties of the
day and place rendered proper. The
Republicans might go further and fare
worse, than to nominate Tracy.
The democratic Presidential cauldron
is also simmering with more or less ef—
fervescence. Senator Hill, President
Cleveland, Whitney, Crisp, Stevenson
and Morgan of Alabama, all have their
"boomers” actively engaged in running
up the presidential nomination light-
And may the best man win.

The Silver Issue in a Nutshell.
The three Speeches delivered by-
Secretary Carlisle on the silver issue at
Covington, Memphis, and Bowling
Green may be accepted as sound text
books in the discussion of the money
question for all time. Taking the three
together, there is no volume extant on
the money issue that more clearly,
fairly, and conclusively, presents the
wisdom ct maintaining honest money.
In his Bowling Green speech deliver-
ed on Saturday, he presents the silver
issue in fivetersc sentences so clearly
t‘iat the wayfaring man cannot fail to
understand it. The five sentences
which thus cover the whole dispute are
as follows:
1. There is not 11. free coinage conn-
’5’ y in the world to day that is not on a
'silver basis.
2. There is not a gold standard
0 ntry in the world tc-day that does
not use silver money along with gold.
3. There is not a silver standard,
country in the world to— day that uses
any gold along with sivei.
4. There is not a silver standard
countrv in the vorld to- day that has
more than one-third of the circulation
per capita that the United States has.
5 'J 11010 is not a silver standard
country in the wozld to- day where the
laboring man receives fair pay for’liis
The only other cer-'
Wyatt, in his
day’s worki . _ ..
Here are five stubborn facts which
none will venture to dispute, and no re-
~ finement of argument of” thedry can
overthrow them. They show con-
clusively the effect of the silver stand-
ard in every country Where it has been
adOpted, and show also that there can
be no use of gold as currency, where
the rilver standard is adopted.
Especially, should the workingmen of
the nation study these five reasons
given by Mr. Carlisle which present the.
whole silver issue in a nutshell. The.
fact that in no silver country are workg
1 ipgmen paid living wages, is conclusive
against the interests of the industrial
people being identified with the free
silver craze.

Congressman Hill on Cleveland.
Our Pacific slope tourist Congress-
man, got down from his Olympus high
altitudes, long enough to write his
.friend Commodore E. C. Benedict, a
letter enthusiastically approving the
patriotic attitude of President Cleve-
land upon the gold-standard issue.
With such a solid endorsement from
our highest republican authority, the
President should feel that his own
future as well as the country, is forever
safe. '

Death of Rev. Swlft BylngtOn.
_ The Rev. Swift Byington, ex-pastor
of the First Congregational Church,
died Sunday morning at Exeter, N. H.
He was born in Bristol, Conn., seventy-
one years ago and graduated from Yale
in 1847. He later graduated from And-
over. In 1851 he settled in West Brook-
field, Mass, where he remained seven
years. The following six years he sup-
plied churches in Boston and vicinity.
For a considerable time he preached in
the Old South Church, which tendered
him a call. From 1864 to 1871 he was
settled in Stoneham, Mass. June 2,
1871, he was installed as the sixteenth
minister of the First Church in Exeter,
where he served more than twenty
years, resigning April 2, 1893. He
leaves a Wife, one son and two daugh-
ters. The deceased was a notably able
and eloquent sermonizer and was
among the candidates invited to preach
at the Norwalk Congregational Church
prior to the calling of Rev. Col. Edward
Anderson, to that pulpit.

night the bout between Tommy Ryan
and “mysterious” Billy Smith was de-
clared a draw. Up to the fourteenth
round it was Smith’s fight. Ryan seem-
ed to be going out but in the fourteenth
he started in and during the next three
rounds rushed Smith 1111 over the ring.
In the eighteenth he had Smith against
the ropes and was punching him terrifi-
cally when the police interfered and
saved Smith from a knock out. The
referee then called the fight a draw.

A Resolutiori”0pposlng the Street—
Rallway’s Crossing Under the
Washington Street Brldge.
Passed Unanimously.
The special city meeting cal-led by
Mayor Lee, of South Norwalk, at Arion
hall last night, drew out the largest
c1owd seen at a city meeting in years,
showing that the residents of that city
are 11p in arms against the proposed
extension of the Street Railway com-
pany’s tracks under the new Washing-
ton street bridge now being constructed
by the Consolidated railroad.
After the city clerk "Joseph Taylor
had read the call for the meeting,
Councilman Hatch, chairman'of the
finance committee, was recognized and
gave the estimated cost of widening
South Main street, which would be
necessary if two tracks were placed on
that street, would amount-to not less
than $50,000. He also explained to the
meeting that the diagram of the Street
Railway’s extension, which was yester-
day printed in the News and last even-
ing placed upon all the seats in the
hall, was incorrect in_t~hat it failed to
show the tracks of the Street Railway
1 running down East Washington street
and the tracks of the Tramway com-
pany running up West Washington
street. He then exhibited a large map
showing what the condition of Wash-
ington street crossing would be if the
resolution passed by the Senate should
be adopted in the House. He also pre-
sented a resolution recitingthe passage
of the majority report by the Senate,
which closed as follows:
RESOLVED, further, that our repre-
sentatives, Hon. Robert H. Rowan and
Hon. Edwin C. Keeler, be, and hereby
are, urgently requested to do their
utmost to prevent the passage in the
House of that certain resolution amend-
ing the charter of the Norwalk Street
Railway company, which passed the
. Senate on the 22d instant, and to take
the necessary steps, by amendment,
or otherwise, to prevent said company
from occupying any of the streets of
the city, or parts of streets lying east-
erly of the tracks of the New York,
New Haven 85 Hartford Railroad com-
pany, and to prevent the Norwalk
Tramway company from occupying any-
of the streets of the city, or“ parts of'
streets lying west-erly of said track‘s.
Mr. Hatch was followed by City At-
torney John H. Light, who explained
the reason for calling the meeting. He
read the majority report which passed
the Senate, showing that nearly every
street in the city could be built upon by
the electric companies if the resolution
passed the House. During his remarks
he made the statement that Senator
John H. Ferris had worked against the
city’s interest and that Congressman
E. J. Hill, who was now in the west:
was writing letters to the _members of
the House importuniug them to favor
the Street Railway. His remarks cre-
ated a sensation and were loudly ap-
plauded.
Mr. Nelson Taylor followed Mr.
Light and called attention to the fact
that the sketch of the Street Railway’s
extension showed double tracks through
North Main Street. He thought that
an amendment should be made to the
resolution calling attention to this, but
when informed that it would be unwise
to encumber the resolution he with-
drew the amendment. He made a tell-
ing'point on the fact that the Con-
solidated railroad was spending nearly
a million dollars to get rid of this dan- .
gerous crossing while the Street
Railway was trying to make it thirty
times more dangerous than it ever had
been.»
The question was further discussed
by J. DonOvan, John W. Scully, Rob-
ert Pearson, Charles Townsend, and J.
W. Powell. Representative Rowan was-
then called upon and stated that the
action of the House was doubtful, but
he believed that the majority resolution
passed in the Senate would be defeated.
After Mr. Rowan’s remarks, which
were received with loud applause,
Mayor Lee put the question and Mr.
Hatch’s resolution was passed without
a dissenting voice.

BUTLER re avails l
Former Calls the Latter a Blackguard
and Hints at 11. Fight. .
COLUMBIA, S. 0., May 28. —The state of
will appear in Richmond next week be-
fore a courtof appeals of the United States
and appeal from Judge Gofl’l decision on
the registration laws.-
Governor Evans, in an interview yester-
day, said he was confident of having Gofl’s
decision reversed. He says, moreover.
that no matter what may be done be pro-
poses to have the constitutional convention
held and the election conducted in such a
way that no shadowcan ever rest on the
constitution that is made so far as the
federal constitution is concerned.
Today The State published a corre-
spondence between tax-Senator Butler and
Governor Evans. Senator Butler wrote
Evans 011 May 15 the‘following:
SIR—I notice in The State of today what
purports to be an address to fellow citizens
from you and find the following as part of it: '
“The ex-senator who had been holding cau-
cuses in Columbia at private houses, having
the ear of the court and holding the foot of
the chancellor, returned to his home, feeling
that his movements had not been detected,
but the responsibility shall rest where it be-
longs. Let the people not blame the poor,
lean, hungry counsel, who are barking merely
for the bone, but visit the sin upon the heads
of the arch conspirators. "
I beg to inquire whether I am the ex-sena-
tor to whom you refer. Very truly,
M. 0. Burma.
Evans, on May 25, replied‘as follows:
SIR—In reply to yours of the 15th I beg .to
state you were the ex- -senator to whom I res,
ferred in that portion of my address quoted
in your letter. Absence from my office pre-
vented an earlier reply. Yours truly,
J 01111 GARY EVANS.
Senator Butler, after glvlngletters from
Messrs. Pope and Caldwell, the counsel in
the cases referred to.‘ to the, effect that he
had nothing to do with the matter, .ap-
pends the following:
by a blackguard. Since my service in the
senate ended on the 4th of March last I'
have been a private citizen, attending to
my own business'and this 'man' had no
right to draw me into his scurrilous,
sophomorlc. self advertisement, which be
styles an 'addrcss to fellow citizens.’ ” '
Ex-Senator Butler in his bitter denun-
ciation of Governor Evans, continued by
saying. “Be assails judges on the bench
with awkward vulgarity and brutal coarse-
ness, knowing them to be peace officers
and as such noncombatants. This he can
do with impunity, but the time may come
when forbearance with his incolence may
cease to be. a virtue."
