GOULD's COMBINATION.
The Pennsylvania Road Has No
Direct Interests South.


Direct Interests South.
PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-President
Roberts, of the Pennsylvania, was away
from the city to-day. but William A.
Patton, his private secretary, was seen
in regard to the reported combination
formed by Jay Gould, of the Southern
and Western railroads, aud the conse-
quent possible diyertment from the
Pennsylvania Railroad company of a
a large part of its traffic in those sec
tions of the country. Mr.. Patton was
inclined to be very reticeDt,
and hesitated to express any
opinion until the absolute truth
in regard to the reported combi-
nation was learned. He said that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company had no
direct interests in the South below
Washington and Norfolk. these two
points being their terminals of that di
rection. The interests of the company
lay in the traffic they received from the
Southern roads, and, as Mr.. Patton
said:
OF course If the reported combination is
true, they can give their business to whom
chance to get it as any one, as we have al
ways given them good service.
In regard 10 the rumor current that
the Pennsylvania was negotiating to Sc
cure control of the Louisville d Nash
vile, Mr.. Patton pronounced it also
lutely false.

He Says Nothing Concerning the
Letter.

New YORK, Feb. 12-The Herald
prints the following: l called upon
Grover Cleveland in reference to the
Watterson letter. First L asked Mr.
Cleveland for an expression of opinion
as to the unity Of the party for 1892
Mr. Cleveland inquired why the queS-
ton was asked now, and then told him
the question was founded upon the let
ter OF Mr.. Watterson to Gov. Hill.
"What can say about it?' said Mr..
Cleveland, echoing one of my questions.
you know more about these things
than do. go to and from my busi-
ness and mind my own business. Some
people make great deal out of very
little. Now, am not worrying about
these matters i'll the least. | am at
tending to my own business, and l
don't know why should be asked about
these matters"
reminded the distinguished Demo-
cratic leader that very large section of
the country would be very glad to hear
from him.
II recently attended a dinner" said
Mr.. Cleveland, looking out of the win
dow with smile on his face, (which
was given by gentleman, and a good
deal was made of it by other people. 1t
was talked about and written about and
looked upon as something very extra
ordinary"
That is because you met Gov. Hill
there"
Eyes, but did not know he was to be
present, and he did not know | was to
be present. 1t was meeting of good
Democrats at gentleman's table, and
that was ALL"
"And you had no private conversation
with Gov. Hill?"
'Gov. Hill and l." said Mr.. Cleve-
land. quite seriously, "have, ever since
i left the gubernatorial chair, been on
the very best of terms. Every time l
have been to Albany, or passed through
it, have called on Gov. Hill. Why
should we not be on cordial terms? The
evening of the dinner, Gov Hill was
visiting an armory in this city and he
came. No, we had no private conversa-
tion. All that happened was stated in
the newspapers"
Finally l remarked that notwithstand-
Ing the recent Democratic cyclone in
the country, the Democratic party
would have good deal to do to beat the
Republican party.
''It will be no child's play" said the
ex-preSident very quietly.
Before he handed me back the paper,
he looked at the date of the letter, quot
Ing it aloud. Mr. Cleveland, however,

FARMERS DIsPLEAsED
With the Mastery Inactivity of
the Legislature.
Special to the Globe

Special to the Globe.
FERGUS FALLS. Feb. 12.-The Otter
Tail County Farmers Alliances are get
ting very restive under the apparent
determination of the legislature not to
bring about the reforms promised last
fall. Resolutions are flying about as
thick as snowhakes in storm. and the
members from this county must be in
receipt of many urgent requests to have
the course of things changed as the
farmers want it. The following resolu-
tions, adopted this week by the Pelican
Lake and Scambler Alliances. are typi-
cal of a score OF other sets of reSOlu-
tionS adopted by other Alliances, and
are worth printing, as showing the gen
eral drift of agricultural opinion in
this neighbOrhood:
Whereas The legislature OF our state has
been i'll session for more than month, and
we have looked i'll vain to see any of the Al
lance members of that body make an effort
for retrenchment and the reduction of the
salaries of officers to correspond with wages
on the farm and farm productions which
they claimed to favor when elected to office
last fall
Resolved, By the Pelican Lake Alliance,
that said neglect and disregard for the peo-
ple's wishes as expressed so overwhelmingly
at the polls at the late election, fill us with
astonishment beyond measure and meet with
our earnest disapproval.
Resolved, That our members of the legis-
lature be requested to bring forward a bill
Immediately to lower salaries and expenses
to correspond with the times, and that the
first salaries in said bill to be lowered be their
own to S. per day ana mileage at actual cost
then they may see clearly to proceed with
due economy iE other things.
Resolved, That our members bring forward
a bill to abolish free passes, making it a fine
and imprisonment to give or take passes, the
worst discrimination In the railroad system.
Resolved, That unless our legislators be-
stir themselves it will soon be said of the
Alliance as has been said of other parties,
''Weighed in the balance and found want
ing" which, may heaven forbid.
Resolved, That we disapprove of the action
of our representatives in not sustaining the
bill introduced by Mr.. Gildea, of Pipestone,
to prevent the issuing of passes TO legislators.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMENT.
A Large Majority Against Ex-Pres-
ident Cleveland.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 12.-Ex-Presldep.
Clevelan's letter against the free coin
age of silver was the subject of general
talk at the capitol to-day. The follow
ing are the comments of number OF
Democratic members on the letter, and
how it will affect his prospects for re-
nomination:
Mr. Goodnight, of Kentucky-Jhe letter
flattens Mr.. Cleveland out completely. The
wonder to me is that that man was not cor
demned long ago. 1t is known long ago
that he was un-Democratic OH the subject or
silver.
Mr. Flower, of New York-It shows that
Mr.. Cleveland has the courage of his con-
Victions.
Mr.. Sayres, OF Texas-If the Democratic
party stands by its platform it will result in
an irreconcilable difference between 1t and
Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Edmunds, of Virginia-It means polit7
ical death TOR Mr.. Cleveland as far as the
South and West are concerned.
Mr.. Quinn, of New Yolk-The letter is a
big mistake. 1t is especially in opposition at
this time
Mr.. McClammey, of North Carolina-Cleve-
land amt in it. He's dumped.
Gen. Wheeler-It would have been better
If Cleveland had written letter declining
the nomination.
Mr.. Fithian, of Illinois-Cleveland is out
OF tue hight.
Mr.. Bynum. of Indiana-It is long time
before the next Democratic convention.
Mr. Owen, of Ohio-It knocks Cleveland
out OF the fight.
Mr.. Wiley, of New York-The letter will
help Cleveland in New York. l think that
the sentiment of the country Is changing to
the position which Mr.. Cleveland holds.
Mr.. nickerson-I think that Mr. Cleveland
has issued his own death warrant.
Mr.. Forman. of Illinois-Mr. Cleveland can
not expect a denomination at the hands of
the Democracy after writing such a letter
Mr.. Stewart, of TeXas-It ought to prevent
his denomination.
Mr.. Stone, of Kentucky-I don't believe
any Democrat who is opposed to free coinage
can be elected president of the United States.
Mr.. Breckinridge, of Kentucky-I believe
that Mr.. Cleveland will be the next president
of the United States.
Mr.. Kerr, of Pennsylvania, Chairman of
His State Committee-Ihe West, South and
Southwest cannot support Mr. Cleveland
after that letter, the letter will, however, help
Mr.. Cleveland in Pennsylvania.
Mr.. Bland-Every one must see that Mr..
Cleveland has made a mistake. His letter
makes his candidacy for the presidency
ridiculous. He will have no following west
of the Allegheny mountains.
Of the Republicans. Mr.. Darlington, of
Pennsylvania. said: 1t is noe going 10 injure
his presidential chances.
MIR. Dingley, of Maine-It represents the
views of all sound business men throughout
the country.

are ready to become nuns, Sister Cath
crime will remain where she is. Her

labors and duties of a nun. 1t may be

According to Mother Neri, of Mercy

OF the new order, will retain control of
her immense income, which she will in
reality hold in trust for the benefit of
the order. The garb to be worn differs
slightly from the habit adopted by the

Iociated Press and in answer to some
hundreds of kilograms which have come

gave the following statement for pub
ication:
Louisville, KY, Feb. y. i wrote
the letter to Gov. Hill, and | was i'm
pelled to do so by motives the sincerest
ind most diSinteTeSted. There appeared
IN many of the great newspapers last
Sunday a sensational account of how a
caucus of United States senators had
resolved upon retiring Gov. Hill from
The presidential arena, of how had
been selected as the instrument of
shese senators, and Of how L had
dispatched him letter potent enough
10 alter mis- plans. Whence this fan
EaStic story emanated, L cannot divine;
but it was so absurd, and did such in
Justice to both Gov. Hill and myself,
that | thought, as | still think, that
there could be no objection on the part
Of anybody to the publication of the
truth which fatty cOntradicted it. l
was induced to this by the circumstance
that Gov. Hill seem to have adopted
course suggested by considerations
alike honorable to his character and
creditable to his judgment; the more so.
Indeed, since the letter in question fur
nished him and his friends impartial
testimony to answer and refute most
DdiOuS and widely circulated calumnY.
l confess that | am surprised that the
governor should make such haste to
disavOW and disOwn a course which,
however promoted. gratified every Dem
ocrat in the United States outside the
state of New York, removing him at
once from the field OF mere political
and self-seeking politician and placing
him in the front + nix of statesmen hay-
Ing the good of their country and party
at heart. | am equally distressed by
the representation that Gov. Hill should
regard my plain but friendly, words as
impertinent and insulting. l did not so
intend them. | cannot help thinking
that the same words might be with pro-
priety addressed to him or to any Dem
0cratic aspirant by the humblest DEM
Ocrat in the land; and l still hope that,
annoyed by publication which annoyed
me as well, he has proceeded upon
miSapprehensiOn of the facts of the
case. | can assure him that neither
In the writing or printing Of my letter
was there any purpose to take advan
tage of him, and least of all to do him

In no mans interest. To use his own
happy expression, II am Democrat
who has passed a lifetime in the serv-
ice of principles and policies from which
] have never sought the slightest per-
sonal recognition or reward. am only
Inundated by the reflection that this
service was not sufficient in the estima-
ton of Gov. Hill to protect me against
his diSpIeaSure. and that in the harsh
construction which he puts upon gen.
uine, and not forged letter, he visits
me with what l must regard as un
merited suspicion.
