I have not given an interview on the subject at all. and if one has been published that justifies a single sentence in this editorial it is a fiction pure and simple. It is rather surprising. to say the least. that a Kentucky newspaper. and especially one with the standing of the Times. would so pervert the action of one of the States Representatives in asking the questions I did about a matter that the people of the State would necessarily be interested in. as to put him in a false light. as this editorial does. and I shall be very glad indeed to learn that the 1_nmes has been misinformed as to the facts. I can not expect a gentleman who is as busy as the editor of the Times must be to be familiar with what is contained in all the speeches of the delegation from his own State that tained on various occasions news items in its Washington dispatches showing that my position on this immigration question. ever since I have been a Member of the House. has been exactly the opposite of what this editorial represents it to be. and I think it would have been but fair for the editor to have made at least some inquiry before writing and publishing such an unfounded editorial. Only a little over a month before this editorial appeared I made some remarks in the House on this very question. and I am quite sure that sonme mention was made of it in the Kentucky papers. enough at least to make it certain that I did not entertain any such views as this editorial -4930 I states. I will insert these remarks here. as they are a complete refutation of the editorial:
