Porter as q Wine Drummer

The New York World publishes an inter
esting account OF what is alleged to be the
experience Of Robert P. Porter as a drum
mer for certain brand of wine. The
account is far from creditable to man who
! holds the honorable and responsible office Of
| superintendent of the census
If the account is true Mr.. Porter under
took to advertise a wine that was imported
by Mr.. N. L. Soherch, a New York wine
merchant. Mr.. Porter, at the time the
arrangement was made, had considerable
influence with the republican leaders, and
he undertook to get some OF them to use the
wine. and also to have it used at the public
dinners of republicans. He also adopted
various means to get it introduced into the
hotels OF Washington and other cities.
There is nothing dishonorable in the busi-
ness Of drumming for wine, but Mr.. Porter
did not appear before the public as a drum
mer for Mr.. Scherch's wine He appeared
in the character of wholly disinterested
party, and in that way succeeded, through
his Influence, In getting the wine introduced
in many houses that would otherwise have
taken no notice of it.

behalf of the wine were not wholly disir-
terested. He was the recipient of certain
favors from the wine merchant which
doubtless paid him fully for his trouble.
While Mr.. Porter was Mr.. Soherchs wine
drummer they were great friends, but they
are not friends now. IL is alleged that the
wine merchant insisted that a certain
note which he had Endorsed for Mr.. Porter
should be paid, and then their friendship
ceased, and IL is asserted that the wine mer-
chant has made out bill against Mr..
Porter and put it in the hands of a lawyer
for collection, with instructions to bring
suit for the amount.
There are several interesting features OF
this affair One is that the favor of repub-
lican officials was sought for the wine on the
ground that it was republican wine"
and that therefore, all wine drinking re-
publicaAs ought to give it the preference.
Another is the persistency with which
Mr.. Porter pushed it on the attention OF
the President and Vice President and
other prominent republicans, and still
another is the undignided part played by
man who holds the Office of superintendent
of the census. Quite a number of Gen.
Horrison's helpers appear to have struggled

A Family OF DueIists.

The Marquis de Mores, as all newspaper
readers are aware, Is a French ex-American
ranchero, and nominally a gentleman, who
apparently spends the major part Of his
more or less valuable time In seeking whom
he may fight. His latest actual engagement
resulted in the killing OF Capt. Mayer, OF the
French army, as detailed in the newspapers
Of recent date, and his latest projected en-
gagement is with Editor Joseph Medill, OF
the Chicago Tribune who is old enough to
be his grandfather. The projected duel
with the western editor, however, will
never come to anything. The editor will
simply impsls the fre-eating Frenchman
with a paragraph and 60 on about his busi-
ness.
But the marquis achievements and ambi-
tons are not intended to be the subjects Of
this article. and have merely been men,
toned to preface to the story of another
Mores bloodthirstiness, and to show that
the desire to duel runs in the family.
1t came to light few days ago that
Mores the second, named Laurencelle, q
nephew Of the redoubtable marquis, had
| suggested by letter TO Coroner Levy, of New
York. that he would be pleased to give an
| other coroner job, with Levy as the sub
jeet Levy's offense was the use Of uncom-
plimentary language about Mores the first
In referring to the duel between the marquis
and Capt. Mayer. Coroner Levy is a He
brew; so was Mayer and it was because of
the anti-Semitio utteranoes of the marquis
that the captain met his death.
40
coroner was feicitously received. Mr. Levy
had seen enough of knife and bullet wounds
in his day to make him think he knew
little something about where to stab or shoot
man to hurt him, and the letter
made him mad enough to strike the
young man in just such a place, if he
| could catch him. Levy. being the chal-
lenged party. according to the code. had
right to say whether he preferred TO ex-
change compliments with the Frenchman
by means Of small sword, a pistol,
butchers cleaver or gatling gun. But he
| did not stiokle at the weapon; he bade his
friend rush to the place where Mores said q
friend of his might be found. with whom
meeting could be arranged. The L.evyite
rushed. But he found no friead and so re-
ported. A second time he rushed with like
result; there was no second there As a
consequence no duel has been yet arranged.
However, that Mores wants blood cannot
be doubted. People who know him say he
is chip of the old block, and Ia not the old
block, as represented by his uncle, q regular
death blookl The young man is not apt to
be satisfied with jabbing Levy with a pen
and as for Levy, when it comes to oadavers,
that's right in his line Of business. So there
may be duel vet.

A Navy sarvant Girl.

They were talking about servant girls, says

Adjournment of Congress.

Congress adjourned yesterday until De-
cemoer aud the members will soon b. en-
gagged in campaign work. Adjour ment
was delayed considerably longer than it was
expected it would be owing to the difficulty
experienced in reaching an agreement on
some Of the appropriation bills. The Chicago
mana gers of the Colu bisn fair failed
30 get the amount they asked for. They
wanted S5,0O0,0O0 and got half that
amount. 1t can be stated pretty positively
that they will ask for the other half next
winter. 1t would not be surprising if they
should ask for great deal more than the
amount they have just received.
1t is a matter of interest 70 Savannah
that the sundry civil bill was finally passed.
1t contains provision authorizing the sale
of the lot originally purchased in this city
for a government building and the adding
of the money received from tue sale to
the building appropriation. As soon
as the lot is sold the supervising architect
will make the plans for the building
Before the end of this year work on the
building ought TO be begun.
While this congress during its first ses-
sion has not accomplished all it hoped TO-
it has made a very good record and has
done some things that will help the Demo
cratic party in the campaign.

Is Buchanan Preparing to Bolts

There is pretty strong impression that
Gov. Buchanan. Of Tennessee, is preparing
to desert the Democratic party and run for
governor as an independent candidate.
Until recently he was q candidate for re-
nomination, but 10 becoming apparent from
the action Of the primaries that tho dsmo-
Gratis preferred Judge Turnsy he wrote q
letter Withdrawing from the contest. In
| his opinion, expressed in his letter, the Dem
ocratic party OF Tennessee has fallen under
the control Of radical element" In the
party. Just what be means by radical
element" he does mob say directly, but the
inference from what he says is
that he thinks the Democratic party
ought TO accept the Ocala platform.
As the Ocala platform has been accepted by
the third party and incorporated into its
platform the Democratic party would
virtually commit itself to the third party
demands II 1t were to accept that platform.
The principles Of the Democratic party
are fully stated In the Chicago platform,
and il Gov. Buchanan cannot accept that
platform he is not in sympathy with the
Democratic party. But how does he explain
the fact that he had no fault to find with
the Chicago platform until he saw
that he would not get a renomina-
tion3 He went about the state
begging the Democratic party for a renom-
ination, and the impression was that no was
in thorough accord with that party. Il
was only after he found that he could not
get denomination that he seems 60 have
reached the conclusion that he was out of
harmony with those democrats who stand
squarely on the Chicago platform.
Gov. Buchanan will make a very serious
mistake IL he leaves the Democratic party
and becomes the gubernatorial candidate
of the third party. He might succeed in
defeating the democratic nominee, but he
would not be elected. He would simply
open the way for the election OF repub-
loan. He would put an end to his
own political career without accomplishing
anything for his state.
Doubtless he is bitter against the demo-
crats for not being willing to give him a re-
nomination, but he could do nothing that
would be so convincing that the democrats
are acting wisely as to pursue a course cal
culated to injure the Democratic party.
