FRIGID GOODNESS

Between Mr. Morton, OF New York, and
MIR. New, OF Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, July At now appears
that Steve Elkins came TO see Gen. Hsrri-
son with two objects in view. The first
one was to learn the pleasure of the gen.
eral in the matter of organizing the Ma
tional Committee; the second was to con-
vey to the General certain desires of his
associate, Levi p. Morton. As the story
runs there has for a eng time been pretty
stiff current of cool atmosphere between
Mr. Morton and Col. John C. New, of this
State, and the former does not want Col
New to have prominent place on the Ma
tional Committee, nor does h. want him to
perform certain functions of the commit
tee.

The ball was lighted by Chinese Ian
terms, which filled it with a mellow and
many-colored light. The Asiatics in New
York were enthusiastic about forming q
Chinese Har. ison and Morton club, and the
first meeting of the club was eminently
successful. At least so Cinnamon were
present, chattering politics in very much
the Same way that Mr.. Crowley does when
he is In conversational mood in his csge
in Central Park. Finally the meeting was
called to order, and after much good Chi
nese had been wasted in praises of "Halli-
sop," Hop Lee Wing, one of the most re-
spected and prominent gamblers in Mott
street, offered a set of resolutions pledging
the Chinese OF New York to vote for Har-
rison and Morton, and condeming the Dem
ocratic party as Romsnistic. The resOlu-
tions, which were in Chinese, were unan-
imously passed.
A collection was taken up, which netted
Sl527, for the Harrison and Morton cam
paign fund.
