The Silver Convention.
Washington, April 8 Concerning
the possibility of a silver convention to
be hfcld in the near future, President A
J. Warner, of the Bi-Metallic League, said
to-day: "The report that such conven
tion is to be held in Washington at or
near the time of the arrival of Coxey and
Mb army is an absurdity. At least, the
Bi-Metallic League have nothing to do
with such a plan. I do not know of any
convention of this kind that is going to
beheld in Washington, and I do not be
lieve that there will be one.
"The Bi Metallic League, however, has
considered the advisability of holding a
vait silver convention somewhere in the
South, possibly in Memphis, Tenn. No
definite arrangements have been made,
however, and the time has not been set
It ia not even decided that the conven
tion will be held."

Ha Make No Attempt st Oratory But

Make Ont a Good Case for His Client
Bis Lengthy Review of tbe Testimony.
Wabhtngton, April 9. The beginning
of the Pollard Breckinridge trial this
morning witnessed the beginning of the
end in the commencement or argument
before the jury. There were few persons
present when the court convened, but
the plaintiff was among the spectators,
much to most persons' surprise. It was
supposed she would not care to hear her
character publicly discussed with the
freedom that counsel use in such matters.
Miss Pollard looked well and she ap
peared to be in the best of spirits, chat
ting with Miss Ellis, of the House of
Mercy, who sat beside her.
:-Col Breckinridge and all his lawyers
were prompt, including Major Butter
worth, who delivered a speech In Cin
cinnati Saturday night and left that city
immediately for Washington.
After some time had been spent in em-
Sanneling a new Circuit Court jury,
udge Bradley read his decision with
reference to the prayers for instructions
to the jury, which were submitted by
both sides on Saturday. He granted nine
of tbe fourteen prayers of the plaintiff,
modifying six of these, refusing four, and
deciding that one was covered by an
other prayer, thus practically granting
ten of the fourteen prayers. Six of the
twelve prayers of the defendent were
granted and a substitute of Judge Brad
ley's for another was accepted, thus mak
ing seven prayers granted, five with
modifications, and the other five were
refused.
After making his decision, Judge
Bradley said that while the burden of
proof rested on the plaintiff to show that
a contract to marry was entered into,
as the defendant had set up the defense
that the contract was not made in good
faith, the burden cf proof would rest
upon him to fehow that there was an
agreement that the contract was not to
be carried cut and that statements made
in the presence of other parties were
made with this understanding by both
parties.
Major Baiter worth and Judge Wilson
es,ch inndo an appeal to the court not to
set v. limit of time on the argument and
Judge Bradley granted the request with
the understanding that the counsel would
not tase up too maca time
Mr. CalJeron Carlisle then began the
argument for the plaintiff Without any
attempt at oratory he told the jury that
in hiR opeuldg statement a month ago
yesterday, bo nad been exceedingly tem
perate, but ho could now say that all his
statements and more than those had been
proved. Ho agreed with Mr. Butter
worth that there were three parties to
the suit the plaintiff,-the defendant and
the community, and he pointed out the
fuli Recounts in the newspapers cf the
progress of the trial ss evidence that tbe
community wts deeply interested. Fie
asked the jury t or.sldtr lis duty
to the community, ai d pr.-niU.d to point
out later on wtut the c uiniuaity Lad a
right to expect.
Before going in'.j the ital aspects of
the case, Air. Carhslo rt.tindtd the jury
of the distinguished career of the de
fendant and the advantages at his com
mand in preparing his defense Mr.
Carlisle said that the defendant had
known the fa-.her of the plaintiff, iho,
though a humble eaddler, was yet a
prominent Mason and Udd mellow,
lie sketched briefly the life of the
plainUfl up to the filing of the suit, a pe
riod ranging from 1878, when her father
died, until 1893; and incidental to this he
paid his compliments to Mrs. Miller,
alias Mol'ie rjhinglebauer. It had been
shown by reputable witnesses gn the
stand, said Mr. Carlisle, that during the
period covered by Mollie Bhinglebauer
1877 1878 ths plaintiff was in Pittsburg,
Pa , and not in or near Frankfort, Ky.,
as the Shinglebauer woman testified.
As to isrant and Kaufman, who swore
they knew the plaintiff as an inmate of
Lena Sin gk ton's disreputable house in
Lexington, Ky , Mr. Carlisle said it was
shown by reputable witnesses that the
plaintiff hau t spent a singie uigtt In
Lexington -u;ing the period fixoi by
"these twu constituents of a corgreseional
district," as Mr. Carlisle called liiem, and
farther than that it had bean shown that
the hotue fixed upon by one of these
young men in the "exuberance of his im
agination" as the place where Madeline
Pollard lived with Lena Singleton, was
not built until 1886 "I ask you, gentle
men," Mr. Carlisle said, "not to believe
such disreputable characters as John
Brant and Hiram Kaufman."
Then he took up the attack on the
plaintiff's character contained in the tes
timony of Mr. Rankin Roeell, who said
he broke his engagement with Miss Pol
lard because "he did not like the way
she allowed him to caress her." "I think
every one here has formed an impres
sion of Mr. Roeell in the beginning when
he testified here. I got one and I think
you got the eame one."
He told how Rosell Lad kept the tin
types of Miss Pollard and himself for all
these years and then turned them over to
the defendant and had come on to Wash
ington to say that ha had sat in the open
reception rooms of Wcs'eyan College
two, three or four times a week for from
an hour and a half to two hours, with
Miss Pollard in his lap He placed
against the testimony of Rosell that
given by Mrs Brown, the vice president
of Wesleyan College, which was that
visitors were allowed to come to the col
lege or.e night a week only and that
Rosellwas no exception to this rule. To
moreniiy show the character of Rosell,
reference was made to the fact that he
had jen forbidden to visit the college.
"Ntw," said Mr. Carlisle, "we get to
1884, and from that time forth there is
not ey ( an attempt to attack the char-acte,7-'
the plaintiff except so far as it
relays o the defendant himself. I am
not n, getting the slurs he has cast out
concaning this plaintiff and old man
Rhodes; I am not forgetting the slurs he
has threwn ont concerning the children
she has borne; I em not forgetting the
slurs concerning her presence with him
at disreputable placet; I am bearing
them all in mind, and I shall refer to
them when tbe time comes, but I want
yon to remember that there has not been
a clairx. that she was guilty of any bad
conduct with any other man than the de
fendant from 1884 until this tuit was
filed."
Alex. Julian, Miss Pollard's "Blind
Barnabas," was hauled over the coals by
Mr. Carlisle at length. Brief reference
was made to the story of Wood, the old
carpenter, who swore that the plaintiff
had broken her engagement to him be
cause fce refused to take her to Europe,
and Mr. Carlisle asked the jury to be
lieve the statement of Miss Pollard with
regard to the story of Wood.
'lThi brings us up to 1834, when the
defendant met her; and for nine years the
defendant was intimately acquainted with
this plaintiff, and yet with all the knowl
edge gainea rjy mat intimacy, ana wun
all bis influence as a member of Congress
at his command, all he is able to produce
we the depositions of each disreputable
characters as Brant and Kaufman, and
Mollie Bhinglebauer, and Aleck Julian,
and Rankin Koseil, and old man Wood."
The defense, said Mr. Carlisle, had
takes the depositions of Orris Brown
and ps sister, urt. Insertion, the chU
dren c f the president of Wcslyan College,
bnt they spoke so well and so highly of
v 1 : . : em ti . . . i . . . tn i
mo pi&iuuu mat me piamnu a counsel
had read the depositions as part cf their
evidence.
Mr. Carlisle handed to the jury several
tin types of the plaintiff taken just be
fore she met the defendant, where Miss
bollard is represented in short dresses
and the other marks of school girlishness.
"Look at those pictures," he Bald, with a
ring in his voice, "and see if she appears
to be the woman of experience on whom
this defendant wishes to place mere than
half the burden cf their intimacy. Look
at that picture and then look at the de
fendant look at the defendant and re
member what little difference there was
in his appearance then from now."
Then Mr. Carlisle told of the meeting
Del ween tne plalutis and the defendant
on the train in 18S4 He passed over this
qnickly, saying both parties said it was a
mere trivial conversation, the only point
of difference being that she said he ac
costed her; he said she accosted him.
"And now before we go further," said
Mr. Carlisle, "let us see what manner of
man this was who had to go through the
train to get his overcoat and who found
a school girl in his path." The history
of the Kentucky orator was sketched in
complimentary language. It was told
how he had had a classical education and
every advantage, social and mental; how
he had gone to the war, and how he had
married twice. "And on this stand." he
said, "this defendant has paid a tribute in
his voice and in his manner, to his de
ceased wife and the mother of his seven
children.
"He confesses here on the witness
stand that no man had less excuse for
what ho did than he had; that no words
could magnify the advantages which
he had; that no words could paint the
depth into which he fell in this instance,"
Mr. Carlisle Bald; "and this is the manner
of mac who met this school girl on the
train. "
The contract with Rhodes was taken
up snd fully reviewed as a preface to the
call of Col. Breckinridge at Wealeyan
College, when Miss Pollard wanted his
advice and assistance concerning tbe
threat of Rhodes that he would compel
her by law to marry him cr pay him
back the money he had paid for her edu
cation. Mr. Carlisle, in defending the p'a'.ii'.'fl
for writing Col. Breckinridge, after Ehe
had met him but once, said that the do
fendant had to!d her that he had known
her father, and she had said she knew
him by reputation. This brought up, the
subject ,f the letter produced by Col.
tsrtckinndgo in which Miss Pollard is
represented as saying tbat she wanted
Col Brtc&isridgs to call on her at the
college ana Mr tJ&rueie had just quoted
Miss" Pollard's statement that the letter
was a forgery when recess was ordered
Resuming his argument after recess,
Mr. Carlisle said that the knowledge of
the expert witnesses called by the de
fense to testify about the letter was not
an exact science. "We did not bring
expert witnesses, be caid, 'for ycu, gen
tiemcn, are our experts." Handing the
jury a fac simile copy of the marriage
certificate of Col. Rreckinridga and
Mrs. Wicg, fhe asked them to look at
this copy which looked so much like the
original, and see how easy it was to pro
dace it. "But I do net intend to take
your time with this matter," he esid
"Jast compare the letters I hand ycu
the letter of July 20ih and note the
points of difference between it and these
other letters which Mi89 Pollard admits
ehe wrote, and your opinion will be ns
good as a barrel of expert testimony."
Mr. Carlisle read tho letter of July 20
in which the writer tells Col. Breckin
ridge that whtt, she has to say ta him is
worse than a divorce case and that Ehe
likes his faco and thinks ehs will like
him. He said there was bnt little differ
ence in that letter and what the plaintiff
had stated, but tha plaintiff had exam
ined the letter and pronounced it a
forgery, and out of all the many letters
that had been written to the defendant
by the plaintiff, this and a little note
written in 1887 were all that he culd
produce. Speaking of tho celebrated
carriage ride, Mr. Carlisle said the fact
that on that hot August evening the de
fendant brought a closed carriage to take
the plaintiff to a concert hall demanded
explanation, bat the fefendaut had n t
attempted to explain it He had merely
contented himself with eayitg thf.t he
had picked out tbe carriage witac ut look
ing at what sort of a carriage it was
Reviewing the events of that niit
ftom the stat' men s r.f the p'&istiff and
the defendant and n hat happened the r ext
day Mr. Carlisl Eoir: "A d from thft
time on until May, 1893 she obeyed his
every behest and'was faithful to him ii
-every way."
Finally, reaching the time of the al
leged promise of marriage Mr Carlisle
laid great stress on the testimony cf Mrs.
Blackburn, which, he said, the d1 . fend&nt
had refused to deny. He had left him
Eelf two modes of escape and either one
would bring him face to face with a di
lmm on one horn of which he must
impale himself.
He referred to the cross examination
of two days ago and a half, to which Miss
Pollard had been subjected, and said it
was one of the most difficult tests to
which the human mind could be put.
There were only two things that would
enable a person to stand the test of such
a protracted cross examination. One
was a trained mind, a wonderful abili
ty, a knowledge of lawyers and their
ways, in fact all that was possessed by a
elever lawyer; the ether was the truth.
His client had stood that test without
any cf the qualifications of the first In
stance and the fact tbat she had not been
made to change her direct statement on
any subject showed that she must have
stood the test through the second quali
fication. Concerning the claim of the plaintiff
that she had given birth to a child at St.
Joseph's Pound ling Asylum at Norwood,
near Cincinnati. Mr. Carlisle quoted the
testimony of Dr. Street, who said that
she had sent "Mrs. uergwynn" to rat.
Joseph's and had visited her there, and
of Dr. Belie Buchanan, who recognized
Miss Pollard as "Louise Wilson," and
Dr. 8treet that "Louise Wilson" and
"Miss Bergwynn" were the same. There
was nothing in the testimony, he said,
to show that anybody bnt this defendant
was the father of that child and he was
its father.
The future relations of the plaintiff
and the defendant were reviewed from
the standpoint of each, and Mr. Carlisle
contended that it had been shown that
the guilty relations of the pair were con
tinuous despite the testimony of the de
fendant that there had been long inter
vals in those relations. Then Mr. Car
lisle tcok up the alleged promise of
marriage which Miss Pollard says was
made in Washington on August 31,
1892. Col. Breckinridge had testified
that Hies Pollard was not in town at that
time, but it had been proved by as entry
in Mrs. Minear's boarding house ledger
that Miss Pollard returned on the date
named.
As to the defense of CoL Breckinridge,
that he and Miss Pollard had merely pre
tended to be engaged. Mr. Carlisle refer
red to the very important testimony of
Claude De La Roche Francis, who told of
his accidental eavesdroonine at Mrs.
Thomas' when Col. Breckinridge said to
Miss Pollard that he was sorry she had
mentioned thtir engagement to witness.
At this point Mr, Carl's'e asked Judge
liradley permiMoon-to continue &u aa
dress to-morrow and as it was then with
in half an hour 0 adjournment, tbe court
aajournea.

Columbia State, tin.
Governor Tillman is taking advantage
of the fact that the eyes of the whole
world are directed upon this mate just
now, on account of the recent alleged
insurrection, to do something else cry
surprising. He comes to the front now
in a manner to attract attention to the
presidential boomlet several times re
ferred to alreadv, and suggests an up
heaval m national politics.
Yesterday while a representative of
tne btate was at tne .Executive Mansion.
the Governor read a letter to him from a
Populist of the West which he had re
ceived, the writer stating therein thit he
admired the Governor's political course.
except that he did not have the moral
courage to come out i qaarely and say
that he was a Populist. The Governor
then referred to the fact that several
Northern snd Western newspapers had
been speaking of him as the-Populist Gov
ernor, and after deliberating a little said:
"Yes, they call me a Populist. I will
tell the m that I am the truest represent
ative of Jeff ersonian Democracy in the
lead in American politics to-day. Let
me tell yon, I don't see anything ahead
now but for the Southern Democrats to
combine their ferces with the Western
Populists and go into the next national
campaign on new party lines. The
Northeastern Democrats and the Re
publicans are now together. It is a com
bination of the moneyed interests."
The Governor then turning suddenly
ar d in a somewfcat excited and very em
phatic manner, said: l I despise Cleveland
and his Mugwumps He is no better than
the rankest Republican. He baa de
stroyed the Democratic party. The
South and Weet will be forced now to
unite and have a complete reorganiza
tion of party lines. The people who are
afraid of the negro and other questions
will have to cast aside their fears on
tboee e cotes and come together on the
one line of fighting the money combina
tion Cleveland has been working under
the dictation of the New York bankers
and bargaining with them in the matter
of the issue r.f brn'ls He promised the
banks if they would take them there
would be no more legislation on the eil
vcr questiou by this uongrecs. Congress
P&f s .d lit ttigniornge act and he vetoed
the indicating plainly the natnre of
his bargain with the bankers. The
whoio thing is such a scheme I robbery
that he ought to be impeached for it. it
is a shame and a disgrace. lne icea oi
this great government having to beg a
lot of shylocks for assistance is so outra
geous that there is not any lan
guage too strong in which to char
acteriza it. Cleveland is owned body
and eoul by these scoundrels. He se
cured his nomination at Chicago
through the influence of a subsidized
press, and what votes he lacked there
af er cxhauticg such means he bought
with promueg of patronage, wnlcti
promises have been since redeemed
tne goods have been delivered. His at
tempt to browbeat and dtbiuch the
Senators and Representatives wa3 cut
iszeou'' in tbo extreme If those cow
ardly Congressmen up there had any
appreciation of their duty to their con
stituency at home, they would impeach
bim.
'Consider the farce and treason to the
interests of the masses of issuing bonds
under a prttenee of increasing the gold
reserves whfn tbe ame gold is paid in
at one window and drawn out at the
another with silver certificates, and the
same process can go on till the silver cer
tificates are exhausted and the people
have to pay the interest."
"Well Governor, what is your idea or
v,hat ought to bo dent?" was aeked.
The Governor thought for an instaut
and then said: "Well, I'll tell you: I
think that the silver men of this country
ought to meet in convention at Memphis
or St. Louia and organize a fight to con
trol the next Congress. Let the West
and the Bouth cast aside all questions
upon which they now have any differ
ences and get together. It is a fight be
tween gold and silver or poverty and
prosperty. One more word as to Mr.
Cleveland I ihink that it is most damn
able and outrageous, his being dictated
to and bought up by those bondholders.
It ii debasing bis office. He is abusing
his power to dicker with such people
and barter away the people's blood even
upon the pretext of financial relief.
' The newspapers which are snarling
and snapping'&t my heels as being a Pop
ulist are tbe paid hirelings of his bosses.
I am a Populist in the sense that I am for
the people's rights, but there are many
planks in the Populist platform which I
do not endorse. If the silver Congress
men will issue a call for a silver conven
tion, and carry the war into Africa,
we will teach those blood-sucking gold
thieves a lesson in politics such as they
have not had since Jackson's campaign
against the banks. The farmers in the
South and West will move on Washing
ton in a solid body and demand legisla
tion that will give them relief from the
grinding poverty produced by 0 cents
cotton and 30-cents wheat "

RALSion. Anril 0. The first of the
1894 series of weekly weather crop re
ports was issued to day. i It I as follows
and is of great interest :
The past winter has been a mild one in
North Carolina. The month of January
was three degrees above the normal in
temperature, and February only half a
degree below.; The rain-fall was deficient
in January and March, and about half an
inch above the normal in February. The
conditions were generally favorable for
farm work. The weather during March
was very unfortunate for agricultural
interests From tbe 1st totboSoththe
teniDerature averaged 12 degrees per day
above the normal, reaching on tbe 221 a
maximum of 91 degrees at Southern
Pines, and 89 at many other place ; !cu
peraturea so high were never before re
corded in North Carolina during ilaicb.
Vegetation was pushed i from two to
three weeks in ad ranee of the season
The severe freezeof March 27th and 28 -h
consequently : did enormous damage
everywhere. Undoubtedly the ptecii
crop is ruined, but there will be a email
viefd of other fruits, especially apples.
Grapes also were badly damaged, but will
grow out again, producing sometning
like half a crop. A good many straw
berries were saved by covering, as were
also some potatoes in the eastern district
The loss of truck waB very great, but a
good deal of planting was done very early,
with the expectation of having to re
plant, which is'often done eeveral times
a season. Keseeding is well unoer way,
and there is time for good crops Wheat,
oats, rye, tobaMjo plants and clover were
als more or less damaged by the f. etze.
Notwithstanding all this there are many
reasons for encouragement at the begin
ning of the season of 1894
The reports cf correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin for the
week ending show that the weather has
not been very favorable for growth of
crops, though favorable for farm work
Vegetation la now somewhat behind the
season Tbe Weather has been very dry,
with many windy days. : Frosts were
reported on three mor rings, the
last on tho morning of the 7lh
Warm showers are greatly needed.
In the eastern district the weather has
been fair, bnt rather changeable during
the wesk. Very light showers occurred
on three days, followed by frcst It has
been very windy. Farmers very busy
preparing land and are well up with work.
Planting corn is going on rapidly, and
replanting of gardens and vegetables.
Second planting of beans coming up. Po
tatoes also coming up again. Wheat,
oats and rye suffered very little by cold
weather and are looking due. ioDacco
plants are slightly damaged A big crop
of huckleberries was destroyed. First
strawberries were shipped this week.
In the central district cool, dry and
windy weather prevailed during the
week, with light rains on ist and 4in;
froet occurred on several days, last on 7ib,
but there is very little lef; to be injured.
A good warm rain is . much needed
Gardens looking badly and nearly all
have to bo replanted. Progress in prep
aration of land for planting is ia ad ranee
of the season Some corn has been
planted this week, which is earlier than
last year. The damage by the freeze to
wheat, oats and rye was greatest in this
district, and seems to have been greater
than anticipated. Six correspond
ents report injury to oats by inaccts.
In the western district the xvek was
very favorable for farm work, bat too
cool and dry for vegetation, with several
frosts during the week. Many urmsis
have re-planted early crops that were
killed by frcst, such as garden truck,
etc , and some have re planted oats,
while others are waiting to find out the
full effect of the recent frteze btforo re-
Elantisg. Wheat and cats are looking
adly; rain is very much needed for
plants that are np and for seeds in the
ground. Tobacco p'ants were not killed.
Corn planting is in progress, and iand is
being prepared for cotton, iraim work
is unusually advanced

Those of the grape-growers wno took

WAsnrKOTOH, April As an admla- ,
tration roaster Hllrs speech .was a fall
are, with all its accessories of advertise
ment and ! audience. As a Democratic
speech it was a most dlsmsl failure.- A
Republican fitly described It Just after its
delivery when he said it was a Republican
argument against the income tax. Hill
virtually served notice, and It was so ao
cepted, that no tariff bill with an income
tax in it will become a law.! He does not
make it perfectly clear, as his tariff speech
is yet to oome, whether he and his friends
will permit any Democratic tariff measure
to be enacted Southern Senators, it is
said, who voted with Senator Hill on
dilatory motions against the bill of the
party, and who sympathize with bis at
titude ou the tariff question, will have
some trouble In txplaining the matter to
their constituents, nearly all of whom
favor the paflsage of the Wilson bill.
Senator Pngh early said he would vote
for the bill whether he secured amend
ments or not. Senator Irby was recently
quoted in the Obskhvkk to the effect
tbat he might or might not vote for it.k
He says. this afternoon that he occupies
the same ground cf 'uncertainty, j xt '
ourrht to be noted that Senator Hill gives
no encouragement to the silver men, the
low tariff men or the internal revenue re
pealers. He denounces the Income tax
men as Populists. I
