Ever since Chauncey NJ. Depew's great har-

In political circles Those who were present at
the dinner reticent about It. With the ex-
ception Of Governor Morton all those who were
present at that affair are still in the city. Gent

THE GOVERNOR IS GAME. SAYS THE MAYOR
There was a great deal Of comment yesterday
among politicians and others regarding Governor
Morton's fainting spell on Thursday and Its pos
sible effect upon his Presidential aspirations II
he really possesses any.
"rbe history OF such occurrences ought to DO
truly written" said a we-known citizen yester-
day who was an eyewitness Of the AFFAIR, ana
had a place on the reviewing stand wnsre nc
could see and hear all that took place. Mayor
Strong was the man who, when he saw the COY
ernor about to toppe over. caught him IN MIS-
arms and saved him from going head FOREMOST
from the stand down into the street. ne Noyo.
realized the situation instantly ana no one
could have been more alert or more cleveriy
prevented far more deplorable accident
Mayor Strong, when asked yesterday for the
facts OF this statement, said, with becoming
modesty:
Yes that was about the way or IT, l was
near the Governor YOU see and he tainted In my
arms II was about as hot a place OF the KIND as
have ever been in and saw that the Governor
was feeling the effects OF the heat badly Few
minutes before 1t happened the Governor said
to me: Colonel, you'd better step up mere ana
take part In this reviewing oh. no. Governor,
7 answered YOU are the man they want to see.'
I'm less than three minutes after this saw the
Governors head drop forward and his body be-
gan swaying TO and fro. He would certainly nave
fallen from the stand. / lost no time IN clasplna
my arms about him, and drew him backward. his
head fell upon my shoulder, and instantly he was
no Iivd as II dead General Harrison came
promptly to my assistance, and We laid the Gov
ernor fiat upon his back and tried to keep away
the people who surrounded us in their eagerneSs
to see the extent OF the trouble. 50 that he could
have all the fresh air possible. A young woman
rushed ND TO me and handed me a small flask.
We quickly turned some Of the liquor into glass
and gave il to the Governor. In a very few sec
onds after ne had taken swallow or two the
Governor revived and tried TO rise. He was az
game a man as ever saw and wanted 10 go right
back To his post In the front OF the stand. But
told him that he was of too much consequence 70
us 10 hermit any such risk to his life Still II re-
oured a good deal Of persuasion to induce him to
leave the reviewing stand
"The Governor" Mayor Strong repeated, Is e.
game q man as I have SEEN"
