A. Woerishoffer, prominently identi-
fed with the bear interest, was inter
viewed to-day, regarding the situation in
Wall street. He said: 81 regard the
failure of Morgan & Sons as very seri-
Gus. They were an old house, greatly re-
spected. | do not think it will have a
great effect on the Stock market. 1t was
more of a commercial disaster. l do not
anticipate any more failures at present
though l think stocks will go lower"
Regarding to Gould's position he said:
could cannot fail. He lost a great deal
of money but has plenty left. Anything
may happen, Gould may go under, this
house may tumble down, but l I'm taking
my chances On it. l do not intend to
move"
The market, Woerishoffer said, looked
bad and he acknowledged he felt blue.

piled as follows: Mr.. Chairman and

your visit with pleasure, and accept with
gratitude, the sentiments you so gener-
ously expressed in the discharge of
the duty with which you have
been entrusted by the National
convention. Intending TO address you a
formal communication shortly in accord
ance with the recognized usage, it would
be out of place to detain you at this time
with remarks which properly belong
to the official u~tterances of the letter of
acceptance. | may be permitted to say,
however, that though l did not seek the
nomination for Vice President, | accept
1t as a trust reposed in me by the Reform
party to the Advancement of whose broad
policy upon all questions connected with
the progress of our government and our
people, | have dedicated my best ener-
gies and with this acceptance L may
properly signify my approval of the plat
form of principals adopted by the conven-
ton. 1 am doubly sensible of the
honor conferred upon me by my
friends in so unanimously tender
ing this nomination, and l
sincerely thank them for this tribute. l
am not unmindful of the great response
bility attaching to office, and, if elected, l
shall enter upon the performance of its
duties with the firm conviction that he,
who has such unanimous support ofhis
party and friends as circumstances con-
nected with the nomination and your own
words, Mr.. Chairman, indicate and con-
s~equently such wealth of counsel to draw
upon, n fail in the proper discharge
of the duties committed to him. l
tender you my thanks, Mr.. Chairman, for
the kind expression you have made and
l offer you and committee men my most
and cordial greetings" When General
Logan finished the chairman stepped for
ward and shook him by the hand as did
the other members of the committee.
Mrs. Logan warmly thanked General
Henderson for the sentiments conveyed
in his address. The members Of the
committee then took their leave with the
exception of a few who were engaged in
conversation with Mr.. Logan AM his
