Publishes the Corresponiklenjce-VIat j'assg edt letweenl Himioelf amid Dr. Ev:itim in IiCard to tho 8miall pax Trouble. (The State, 29th.) Upon his return to the city yester day Gov. McSweenoy gave the press the following in regard to the Union small pox situatiorr: "In regard to the action of the Union board of health, I deem it proper to make a statement in order to keep the record straight. Since I have been Governor I have made it a rule to refor to each department of the State government all matters per taining to that department. All cases of smallpox reported to me have been promptly referred to Dr. James Evan,j as secretary of the State Board of Health for his consideration and nc. tion. When I received the report of the Union board of health calling my attention to the circular of President Duncan and the resolutions p)assed by the Union board of health stat ing that enforcement of vaccination by the local board of health is im possible because of lack of power and funds atrid dangerous because of the inflamed opposition, I sent the followv ing telegram to Dr. Evans: " 'There is considerable dissatisfac tion in Union as to the manner of en forcing vaccination. In order to ad. just matters I deem it advisable for you to go there at once and take the matter up with President Du2can and the local board of health. This is very important.' "I also wired I'nesident D)uncan and Dr. Linder that I had asked Dr. Evans to go to Union to investigate the situation. Tfhis wvas on theodth of May. Dr. Evaiis went to Union promptly and on the 11th of May made the following report: " 'In my investigation of the small pox situation at this place (Union) I have found three families infected with, the disease in Mill Town, which has a populatioin of about 8,000 and is the locality in which the operatives of the Union cotton mills reside. ] Vaccination is imperative to prevent the furthe3r spread of the disease. Two t thousand of the population of tho town have been ,recontly and in the last two or three years vaccinated. I have arranged for the prompt vacci nation of the remainder who are not protected. I have the assurance in the prosecution 'of the work of the co operation and assistance of the city authorities, the local board of health and President Duncan of the Union cotton mills.' "I concluded from this statement of the secretary of the board of health aGENUINE C1 TEFi that everything had bovn sa( isfactorily adjusted, as he stated that he had the assurance of the co-operation of the city anthorities and President Dun can. Nothing moro was heard from Union until the resolutions published a few days ago in the Union papers from the local board of health ton(ler ing their resignation. As the peo ple soemed to be very much inflamed over the matter of onforced vaccina tion as stated by the lacal board thomselves, I deemed the course I pursued wiser and better than to have ordered the arrest of those who resist ed the board, for by such a course, instead of getting the matter settled satisfactorily, the trouble would have been increased and possibly some one killed. If the statement made by the secretary of the State Board of Health that he bad the assurance of the co-operation of the Union board was not correct it seems to me they should have so stated at once, becauso Dr. Evans' report to that effect was published the next day after it was made to me. "As to the statement contained in ihe resolutions of the Union board that [ am more interested in my elec tion than the enforcement of larw, I have no further reply to make th'an that contained in the facts of the case as herein stated."

About eighty Democratic ueubert attonded. Mr. McRao of Arkansa acted as chairman and Mr. Cum Miings of New York as secretary. At the outset Mr. Richardson of Ten. nessco, offered the following resolu tion expressive of the party attitude: Whereas' there is known to be a large and growing surplus in tho treasury over and abovo the nocessi ties of the govrnmient, arising froin the taxes levied anid collected1 undIer the War Tax Act of 1888; therefore, Resolved, That wo favor the re. dluction of the taxes providled for in said Act, and we do not tinkll the p)resenlt session of Congress 'should adjourn until said taxes shall have been repealed as to cert ain articles and reduced1 as to others, until there is a total reduction in the aggrogate >f at least fifty per contum. We pledge ourselves at all times o suppiort any rmasure or measures providing for such reduct ion. Mr.. Levy of New York o(Tered a mbstituto, which wvas defeated, pro esting against Congressional ad-| ournment until the war taxes aro re luicod or repealed. Mr. Richardson's resolution wvas dopted without division. The trust qjuest ion was thon taken up, Mr. Ball of Texas presenting ros lutions favoring an adverso vote on he anti-trust co nstitutional amend nont, and r favorable vote on tile iroposed Democratic anti - trust sub - tituto bill. Thol, resolution furt her rovidod that in the event of the do Dat of the substitute support should e given to the anti-trust bill is re ortodl. Thel resolutions brought ouit con derablo dIffleronco of op)inion. Mr. almon of New Jersey in.timated int without reference to thie action f tile caucus lhe would favor the! >nstitutional amendment. The Bail resolution was finally :10pted with minor amnendments. -s to the sub)stituto anti-trust bill,. ae rosolution states: "We believe that the adop0jtion of use drastic p)rovisions will demon rate the power of Congessa to do. 00 1 all Goods wi >t Cash ( stroy combination", monopolio and tihe consolidation of capital famil ary called iut. Should ti 'ub.tit Uto fail of adop. tion tho re(path ti(41hen provides for thioei support of thit ntiti-trust, bill ro ported by tile ma111J-rity. As to this easur the resti it ion says "While iot satisfactory to the Delocratic majority and not likely Ito remedy the tirust 3vil, iho bill does makO an, effort toward harrassing ad ou101twllwing Ih110se 'lonuies of tho public,' and Delmocats ll() not Will. ing o voto dowin anly m11On11ure tond ing to that vind."
