aparagraph last week respecting ex-senator McDon-
aid which contained the following: ''He gave the
Democratic leaders here good advice touching the
tariff question. Although tariff refOImer, he did
not see any practical object TO be gained by agtat-
ing the tariff at this time, seeing that nothing
could be accomplished He believes that
tie whole question will settle itself within
ten years. This paragraph surprised and worried
Chairman Morrison. and he inclosed il to Mr. Nc
Donald with note asking himif 1t correctly stated
his views Colonel Morrison has received from
Mr.. Mcdonald, a letter dated March /, saying:
