EXULTANT IN DEFEAT
DEMOCRATS REJOICE AT THB PRESIDENTS
MESSAGE.
Il Draws the Lines Close and Makes the Issue Clear
The Battle Fought aAd its Rewards
Will bs Rsapsd IN -Four
More Years.

WASHINGTON, December 4.-COmment
on the Presidents message yesterday was
freurent and varied. Chairman Mills,
who had listened with satisfaction through
out the reading of the message, said: "The
President clearly maintains the general
principles which underlie the tariff reform
movement, that excessive protection is le-
galizsd robbery for favored few. If ne
had been faltering or equivccsl in express
ing himself on the subject Of the tariff in
this, his second message in that line, all
the moral effect of the great battle 10 Con-
gress and in the campaign would have
been lost. But the message read to-day
was as clear and pointed as words could
make it, and sturdy blow in the direc-
tion of the reform the party seeks. l am
highly pleased" e.
Representative McMillin, of Tennessee,
q memb:r of the Ways aud Means Com
nittes, said thai he was more than salts
fisd with the spirit of the massage. The
PIesident feels that ne is in good fight, )"
said Mr.. McMilliD, 'ard this message has
ring to it that will stimulate the party.
1t is aggressive. 1t keeps the cause Of
tariff reform in front and will help to keep
the party in Fitting mood until the bat
tie comes off once more. 1t is a battle all
the nearer won when the leader showes his
own confidence and courage"
EVEN FORAN IS GLAD.
Congressman Martin A. FOran, one of
the Democrats who voted againsi the
Mills bill, but who has sincs shown some
evidences of change Of hsart, said that he
was satiafed with the mss'age and would
have endorsed il if it had been even less
conservative. If the President had said
less or weakly followed his famous mes
sage Of a year ago, it would have been a
disastrous thing tor the party, but the
present message kept sharply drawn the
line between the party of tariff reform and
the party of trusts and monopoliee.
Reed, of Maine, whose leadership Of the
Republic IN side of the House is fast slip
ping away, had only one observation to
MAKE: "rbe message" said he, sis like
the be ard of Poluniu5-it is too loag. But
the victim Of a hsrging is always to be
allowed his say at thu gibbet."
Mr.. Randall was in the House, looking
weak from tie effects of his illness, and he
did not leave until the message had been
Rad throughout. He declined TO express

OHIO'S BIG THREE.
Sherman, Buttsrworth and Mckinley Par
tition Out spoIls.

Sherman, Butterworth and Mckinley Par
tition Out spoils.
WASHINGTON, D. c., December 4,-The
"big three" of Ohio-Shermsn, Butter
worth and Mckinley-were engaged in a
long and earnest conference to-day over
the Cabinet and Speakuship interests in
their State. Senator Sherman would not
decline an invitation of the premiership of
thu Harrison Administration, if matters
could be SO adjusted that the opposing
forces, headed by Foraker and smiled at
by Charley Foster, could be held in check.
The venerable Senator would regard the
premiership as a promotion, having been
Secretary Of the Treasury, and it would
approximate the Presidency about as close
ly az he can now ever hope TO attain, In
the sequence Of thipgsiti is regarded as very
doubtful whether Mr.. Harrison will 20 to
Ohio for his Secretary OF Stats. 1t is con.
ceded, however, that Senator Sherman
would perform the duiss with distin-
guished ability and public experience.
Toe most serious danger TO the interests of
Senator Sherman as a prospective member
of the Cabinet is the possibility OF
sn opposition from his own State.
II is now we'll understood that
Gen. Harrison intends to keep clear Of all
factionsl autsgonisms If he can.
Msi. Mckinley has announced himself
as formally in the field for the Speaker
ship. In view of this fact Col. Butt,r-
worth will not press his claims. A prcpo-
sition has been made to urge Sherman for
the Csbinet, with Mckinley for the Senate
aud ButterwOrth forSpeaker. In this sort
of deal there would be 50 many elements
of friction that the parties themselves are
iu doubt as TO even remote chance Of
carving it through. No one doubts tina!
Mckinley can make strong pail for the
Speakership, bat whether he can make it
sgainst Reed is the question. The Maine
man will have all of New England and
with tn, aid of Blaine's inf hence woul6
be most likely to seCure the Republi-
can Representatives of New York and
Pennsylvania and pick up strcng follow
ing in certain sections of the West. The
friends Of Mckinley will 60 on with the
preliminaries looking to the capture of the
Speskership, and if in the meantime Cabi.
net lightning should strike Sherman the
prestige of the chanceI Of winning fight
there would greatly strengthen Mckinley
as candidate for tho Senate. The three
gentlemen separated with o very clear
understanding of their plans and pnrposes
and will await certain expected develop.

Comments of the New York Press on the
Presidents Message.
NEW YORK, Decembsr 4.-The Sun in
it's editorial comments on the Presidents
message, says: The main fact is that
nowhere does Mr.. Cleveland specify or
even suggest any line of policy to be pur-
sued in dealing with the question of sur
plus and the taxes.
The Herald says: 1t is plain, business
like report of the various departments,
prefaced by few paragraphs in which MIR.
Cleveland speaks for more impartial law
aud stricter adherence TO constitutional
methods; that monopclies and trusts shall
not increase, but that all Americans shall
have o fair chance in the race OF life. What
he says under this head is ssDs bic and well
put, but ss the people have just elected to
power a party which favord monopOlits,
trusts and capitaiistic combinations. For
the present the recent election shows that
the people do not care enough about its
evils.
The Tribune says: The message is not
as carefully written AZ the Presidents
other official pspers, bat its crude or awk-
ward phrases count for nothing in COM
parison with its mischievous tone.
The Times says: The whole tenor and
important truth lying st the base of some
of Mr.. Clsveland's remarks are, in our
Judgment, somewhat obscursd by over
sta, ement. 1t is pretty true that some of
the higher protective duties of the tariff
foster monopoly, levy taxes not for the
common needs but for the benefit of a
priviled class, and imposing grO5s ipe
qualities upon the people, bnt the class
benefited is small. 1t does not include
all or even the greater number of manu-
factuIe-s. On the contrary the great
body of manufacturers suffer by the taxes
that enrich the few, being compelled TO
pay them the cost of materials made by
the few.

New YORK, December 4 Cen. Roger

trust prosecution before Judge Barrett in
the special term of the Supreme Court.
Tht particular trust under consideration
to-day was the North River Sugar REFINING
Company. -,
In his opsning address Gen. Pryor said
tbat q violation of the law by a person
called forth forfeiture Of his Liberty or per
haps his lite, and the violation of the law
by a corporation required the forfeiture OF
its charter. A trust he defined as com
bination of merchants, or other persons, fol
the purpose of enhancing the value of any
goods, 20 the detriment Of the general pub
lie. A right to exclude competition is in,
furious to the public, he continued, and
that was well exempted by the old saying
that competition was the life Of trade.
