Baltimore, November 30. In dis
cussing the situation in CubA, General
Bradley T. Johnson, recently returned
from there says, that it is impossible
to get reliable or accurate information
as tojthe Cuban army. "I investigated
carefully" said he, "and was never sat

Baltimore among the southern sym
pathizers during the civil war. Recall
the exaggerations of enthusiasm - and
the dreams of their hopes. Then inten

he would come down in favor of the

out went old Dockery "a shortirt',
through the woods, dishing out ex

and about his knifimg the republican
j ticket in 18S8, and appealing tore-
publicans to vote for Bryan and Guth

voted for Watson and I 'Believe! it,)

Why was it that you did not re
ply to Dockery attacks on you dur
ing the campaign ?
"Have I not already told you that '
I wanted to keep him going ? Besides
it Consumed too much time in a
speech to take up in detail his stupid
falshoods. For example, he said
that my brother Thomas B. Russell
went to his house in iSSS to get him
to support me for governor. In thjs
there was not one 'word of, truth. It
was well; knqwn that I would -not ac
cept the nomination for governor' or
anything else in iSSS, ; because I
wanted to head off the democrats by
refusing to run a state ticket in that
year. The resuit showed that I was
right. He said that I bolted the
. , '. , ... .-j . . 1. . ..... -i
ticket and caused his defeat for gov-
ernor. The truth is that I supported
the whole ticket. I quit my private
business and lost several weeks in
that campaign, paying my own ex
penses, asI always have. Time was
worth something to me. My person
al earnings have not been confined to
beating confiding friends by1 borrow- r
ing their money and paying them in
bankrupt notices or desperate com
promises. I have not followed the
profession of office seekingfor a liv
ing. Indeed, I have, never, held an4
office that it did not involve pecuni
ary loss. Yes,"" In 1888 I bowed to
the decision of. the party because of
my devotion to its piinciples.

It is thought by some and denied
by others that the McKinlev admin
istration will adopt strong measures
to compell Europe to accept bimetal

The republican party declared for
this in equivocal words. The money -kings
of the world do not want silver
as standard money, even on a parity
with gold. They want a rising dollar
so that their. securities, bonds, billsr
notes and all other forms of, debts
due to them shall appreciate inj value

country expect the republican pajty
to redeem its pledges and show that
it is in earnest on this question. If
