C, Jane 29 Mr. James II. Soutbgate to-day sent the following letter to lion. Walter Clark in reply to bis recent letter, published in the Ntws and Observer. Mr. Soutbgate is President of the Hoard. Dr. Kilgo has made no re ply, and it is probable that Mr. Southgate 's letter will close the in cident. The letter is as follows: Durham, N..C, Jane 28, 1893. Judge Walter (lark, Kaleigh, N C. I'sas Sir: Responding to your fa vor of the 25th inst.. you will recall being present at the Jane, 1807, meet ing of the trustees when the Presi dent's report was referred to a sub committee consisting of yourself, Judge Montgomery and Dr. Swin dell. The first recommendation in this report waf : "That the law which requires the election of the faculty every "year be bo changed as to elect them not oftener than every four years, if, indeed, any time should be lixed other than the faithful dis charge of duty. This should not re fer to the election of a new member of the faculty. He should always be put on probation till he proves his fitness for a permanent election.'' One of the trustees moved that the President of the college be included in this recommendation, but the mo tion was withdrawn at the request of Dr. Kilgo. Your committee reported non-conenrrence on this item of the report, "Judge Clark explaining to the Board that its adoption was lia ble to lead to legal entanglements." Dr. Kilgo promptly arose, explained ms motive in making the recommen dation, which was to avoid having me memoers oi the tacuity in sus pense as to their election from year to year, and gracefully consented to a withdrawal of the suggestion be cause of the light you throw on it from a legal standpoint of observa tion. In all other particulars the re port was concurred in and adopted as a whole, and ordered spread upon the minutes. In the organization of the college, its literature in the-meth od of approach to and disposition of this matter, tne re appears to be no real way to confound Dr. Kilgo, the President with the faculty or to mis construe the benign effort of one in behalf of the other. You will further recall that later in this June, 1S07, meeting, along to wards adiournment, a resolution was adopted by a rising vote, you voting, cordially approving and endorsing the llorts of the faculty, especially of Dr. Kilgo, the President of Trin ity College, in behalf of higher Chris tian education with a pledge td en courage and aid them more actively and unitedly in the future than in the-past. This meeting of the trus tees was harmonious, pleasant, in which all, including yourself, ap peared to take an active, intelligent interest. Within three week3 of adjourn ment reports reached the President of the college which were calculated to damage him personally and, if true, the institution which he so ably represents, the natuie of which is set forth in the correspondence which follows and with which you are con versant. President's Office, Trinity College, Durham, N. C. Judge Walter Clark. Raleigh, N.C. Dear Sir: I have recently heard that since the meeting of the Board of Trustees you remarked that my motion to elect professors for a four years term, wa&really an effort on my own part to secure the Presi dency of Trinity College for a longer term. I am not disposed to believe this rumor, yet I think it jast to you as well as to myself, to inform you of the rumor. If it is true I would be very glad to know upon what basis you made the statement. I trust you are all well. Yours truly, (Signed) Jno. C. Kilgo. Raleigh, N. C, July 1, 1897. Rev. Dr. Jno. C. Kilgo, Dear Sir: Yours to hand. Who ever made the report to you has ev idently misconceived what I said. I did not say what you state. But I have no objection to saying what I did say if you will give me the name of your informant. Most truly yours. (Signed) Walter Clark. President's Office, Trinity College, Durham, N.C. Judge Walter Clark Raleigh, N. C. Hon. Sir: Your? of recent date has been received. Prof. R. L. Flowers, of Trinity College, informed me of the statement to which I called your attention. I will be very glad to get this matter corrected, as it is of importance to me personally. Yours truly, (Signed) Jno. C. Kilgo.. Raleigh, N. C, July 2, 1897. Dr. Jno. C Kilgo, Dear Sis: Yours to hand. Does Prof. Flowers say that I had such conversation with him! I' nave no recollection of any talk with him on the subject. If so, let him state time and place so I can recall what was said. 1 have not the slightest objection health, the caterers to monopoly to stating what I said about any government, and the blind, unthink- matter that you feel any interest in, ing partisan who votes and works but I wish to know the party who or the party with a record adverse I states the conversation that I may to the DODular interest as the mean- recall exactly and f ullv what I did The dnorganuera who have bolted the People's Party, and called their rump convent ion for Cincinnati, Sep tember ."it h, have been to discouraged at the mallnefl nf their following that thf j now announce that they may !"-trionea nomination, if their con vent inn is not large.

If they can pro diii'e a split in the psrty large enough tn I" damaging, then they will have - thing valuable to trade on; but, of ri'iir-f, if their bolting element is in ill then the gold-bugs and monopoly'- would not think it worth while to (ml up money to run a aide-show that mil. I be of no benelit to them. The ' un-f native middle-of-the-road Popu-Ii-.Im, everywhere, are repudiating tin- crazy and criminal scheme. it was Senator Harris, a Populist senator from Kansas, who lead the likiht a a member of the Senate Com iii a tee on Nicaragua ('anal, to have a reported providing for the con- x'rui tion and control of the Canal by tie I'nited States Government. The I'ti ition of Senator Harris was in line with the principles of the Peo ples Party and every principle of gnnd government. He is to be con Kralulated upon his success in so im l"rtant a matter. The Canal ought to Imilt right away. It will cost less to build .t than we pay out in pensions in one year; and when the Canal is li'iilt once, it does not have to be built .'U'lin. We notice that the big monopoly iu ss -pipers are advertising consider :i "the call for the Populist Nation al ' invention." They are careful not explain that this call was made by ho insignificant number of bolters from the regular organization. This gang of bolters will from now on get nil of the advertising that they want ! m the monopoly press, and will get nil of the campaign boodle that they will need and can use from the gold hug campaign fund. sot Flovers did not tell me that he bad had any conversation with you on the matter involved. He simply stated that be had heard that you had made the statement to which I referred in my first letter. Rev. N. M. Jurney, who had heard of your making the statement, told me on yesterday that he understood that von made it to Mr. J. O. Drown. I have not seen Mr. Brown, nor have l communicated with bira concern ing the matter. However, the only matter which concerns me is wheth er you impugn my motive in making the suggestion to the Board of Trus tees to elect faculty for a longer term. All this is very painful to me. and I would be glad to have it eleared up. louts truly, Jno. C. Kilgo. Raleigh, N. C, July 7, 1S97. Rev. Dr. John C. Kilgo, Dear Sir: Yours to hand. I wrote you directly in reply to your first let ter that the party, whoever he was, had misconceived what I said, but if yon desire to know what I said, I should state it, if you would say who alleged he had the conversation with me. It now turns ont that Prof. Flow ers told yon that he heard that Rev. Mr. Jurney heard that some one else said that I told Mr. Joseph G. Brown something like it. This is too much like the "three black crows.'' Mr. Brown and I are fellow trustees. As such I had a conversatson with him. I did not understand that it was usual for such conversations to be repeat ed. In that conversation I did not use the language you state. But if yon are curious to know what passed in a private conversation between two members of your board let Mr. Brown state, if he wishes, what it was. If it differs from my reflec tion in any way I will point it out, and then you will be in possession of a private conversation and my per sonal views as fully as it will be pos sible for you to get the information When I wrote you in my first let ter that what I had said was miscon ceived, and when you discovered fur ther that what was said was not pub licly but in a private conversation between two trustees, whose privi lege it is to discuss the management of the college in the fullest freedom and confidence, I should have thought you would have seen the propriety of letting the matter stand. But if you wish to investigate private conferences between trustees, and Mr. Brown wishes to repeat to you I shall give you frankly and fully what I said. Most truly yours, (Signed) Walter Clark. iou are at liberty to send a copy of this to Mr. Brown if you wish to pursue the matter. Trinity College, Durham, N. C. Judge Clark, Raleigh, N. C. Hon. Sir: Your last letter has been received. I confess a great de gree of surprise at what you have to say in this letter as well as in your f ormer letters. 1 do not thmK I am guilty of any impropriety in corres ponding with you concerning this matter. I am quite capable of dis tinguishing between the business of the Trustees and an impeachment of mvoersonal character. It is not the function of any trustee under any circumstances, to malign my charac ter bv impugning my motives. This is the question which has been at is sue and is still the question. I do not feel that I am called upon to work under any man or jnen who set so little value upon my personal in tegrity as to charge me with sinister motives. From all I have been able to learn, I regret to say that the orig inal report has been confirmed. Let me assure you again that am not concerned with any discus sion you may have had, or may yet have, concerning the business man agement of Trinity College; but at the same time I assure you that will never submit to any trustee as suming guardianship over my pers onal character. I do not so under stand their duties. I regret this whole matter, and hoped in the be ginning that it might be easily ad justed, but you have not seemed to be disposed to be generous in your treatment of it. No doubt you re member the time and place of your conversation. I leave you to settle that. At my earliest opportunity I will lay the matter before the trustees for their decision Yours truly, (Signed) Jno. C. Kilgo, SILVER FOHCES COST U3ITE tic,Mr. B. N. Duke, Mr. W. H. Branson, Mr. P. H.

When opportunity presented Dr. Kilgo arose to a question of person al privilege, the right enjoined by very member of a deliberative body, stated his grievance, read the corres pondence between himself and you. and on motion the said correspond ence was referred to a committee of five worthy men. men who perhaps rank second to none in North Caro- ma in according to yon, honor, rc- pect and fraternal devotion, name- Revs. G. A. Ogleaby, F. A. Bish op, w. u. Willson, S. B. Tarrentine and Col. G. W. Flowers, whieh ref erence resulted not in a trial of your self, as yon seemed to think, bnt the investigation of statements that you had made concerning another, and if any one was on trial it was Dr. Kilgo. Neither of you appeared be- ore the committee, which after a ireful consideration of the corres pondence, herein referred to, brought in a report to the Board of reaffirma tion and a hearty endorsement of Dr. Kilgo and his administration with the pledge of continued sup port: a depreeation and condemna tion of the uncharitable and unfair spirit manifested by you in your cor respondence with and charges against him; a positive affirmat OD, in the light of ample evidence, that your charges against him as includ ing himself to be elected as Presi dent of Trinity College for four years, which was to secure for himself "pro- ection from removal for fonr years" were not only unsupported, "but act ually contradicted by facts, and the expression of the opinion that yon ought to resign as a Trustee of the College. These conclusions in the form of revolutions sent you by the Secreta ry, Mr. V. Ballard, were read, dis cussed and carried, there being only one discentmg vote.

The majority of Democrats in this portion of the State were anxious for a union of the silver foroes, but the railroad influence prevented the elec tion of delegates who would stand up and vote for sucb a union in the State convention. Of course where a major ity of a party submit to being led against their convictions, nothing can be expeoted from that party to carry out such convictions. I see, therefore. nothing left for us but to join in with any such forces as can be combined to beat the influ ences that prevailed in this late Dem ocratic convention. They were the goiu sianoaru influences that pre vailed there. If the State is carried under these influences the gold pres tige will be so great in the State that North Carolina can no longer be counted in the silver column. You and a large majority of the Re publicans of your township, voted as you say for the silver candidates two years ago. I did the same thing my self. We proved that we cared in com parison nothing for party where this great money question was involved. But now our appeal for.a union of sil ver forces amounts to nothing, and falls on deaf ears.

Editor Caucasian: If I could spare the money I would see that ev ery farmer and laborer in the State got a copy, and not only one copy, but they should get every issue from this week's until after the election in 1900. If every voter in the country could read The Caucasian and The Silver Knight Watchman until the national conventions, our cause would be safe, Bryan wonld be our next President, but if something is not done to offset or counteract the poison read by the average voter, God alone knows what will become of our country. I had some hopes until the Democratic State Conven tion that that party in this State had an honest purpose, bnt their action has dispelled any idea of right, hon esty or honor in them as a party from my mind. I do trust that Hon. Marion Butler, with the assistance of such men as Hon. F. M. Stewart, Henry M. Teller. Joseph C. Sibley and other honest men can aecute the means to put the right kind of read ing matter in the hands of the farm ers and laborers of all kinds each week, from now until after the elec tion of 1900. This is all the people need, they are ignorant and unable to take papers, and if they could read weekly such papers as The Caucasian and The Silver Knight Watchman, and then have a speech or two from Senator Butler or some other good, honest speaker in every township, the state and nation could, and I believe would be redeemed Committee oa Platform.
