Fisk And LA MONTE.
Expert Opinion on the Re-
publican Platforms
Temperance Plank.
IT MEANS NOTHING, THEY SAY.
"All Things to All Men lila
Monte Knows How 1t Was
Fixed:

Icalled upon General Clinton B. Fisk,
who ran for President on the Prohibition
ticket last fall, to obtain his opinion of
the temperance plank in the platform
adopted by the Republican Convention
at Trenton, on Tuesday. / caught the
General at his office on Broadway just as
he was about to leave for his home in
Seabright
When he learned that / was from The
JERSEY CITY NEWS. however. he con-
sented to talk with me few minutes.
asked him if, in his opinion, the plank
meant local option, high license, both or
neither, and he replied that he had not as
yet seen the platform. | showed him the
utterances of the convention as published
and he read them through carefully.
Then, removing his glasses with delibera-
tion, he thought for a moment.
A STORY FOR AN ANSWER.
II don't care to express an opinion just
now," he began, but l will tell you a
story of Artemus Ward. When Artemus
returned from trip out to Salt Lake and
through the West he prepared lecture
on the Mormons. When he was about to
deliver his lecture in Washington he COW
cred the city with posters and letters
which appeared to have been written by
ing to the excellence of the lecture.
Among these testimonials was one
purporting to have come from President
Lincoln, and one which Mr.. Lincoln
himself said was very Lincolnish,' in
which the President was made to say
those who liked that kind of q lecture.
This plank to my mind is something like
that lecture 1t is q very good plank for
those who like that kind of a plank.
ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN.
"a man who is in favor of local option
can construe it as for local option, and the
man who wants high license can construe
it as being Ia favor of high license"
"Do you think, General, " asked, that
it will gain votes for Grubb which would
otherwise go to La Monte?"
The General has q peculiar faculty of
turning the tables on his interrogation at
times by putting his answers into the
form of questions. So in reply to this he
asked:-"Do you think S. 3. Ransom,
Thomas j. Kennedy, Joel Brown, DR..
Quimby and the other out and out Pro
hibitionists of your city will be led to
support General Grubb by any such
ambiguously worded platform~
THE GENERAL MAY BREAK.
l replied that | thought not, and the
General cont1nued:-"I think not either.
That platform is one of the most adroitly
worded things / ever saw. 1t does not say
anything, it does not mean anything, and
it commits the party to nothing"
We then fell into a general CONVERSE
tion, during which the General said
My sentiments on this subject are pretty
well known. / was willing to help elect
a legislature which would give us an
efficient local option law, but this plat
form does not say that they are willing to
do So"
Before could speak further on the line
this declaratian suggested, General Fisk
discovered that he barely had time to
catch his boat, and he hurried toward the
ferry.

The Suit was Improperly Brought.

The trial of The Ansonia Brass and Cop
per Company's suit against James P
Northrop began this morning. Mr..
Northrop was made the executor of the
estate of Thomas Cannon, and
when he overhauled the papers
of the deceased he found
promissory notes made by the Ansonia
Brass and Copper Company, amounting
to 81, ,060. He at once negotiated them and
obtained the cash. The company then
put in a claim for them, and said
that they had been simply sent to
Cannon to be endorsed, but that he died
before having signed them. The plain
tiff's lawyer, before much testimony was
taken, abandoned the case because it had
not been brought to the notice of the
Court in the proper way.
