MORTON'S BITING WORDS
Sarcastic hllusion to the Defeated
Friends" Of the Administration.
Brice-The Recent Chas-
tisement.

Secretary Morton speaks of the cleo
tons in sarcastic terms as being u re-
markable vfndication of those friends"
of the Administration and opponents of the
Wilson bin-Senators Hill and Murphy Of
New York, Smith of New Jersey. and Calvin
s. Brice, of Ohio. Carefully stating that he
speaks only for himself. the Secretary of
Agriculture adds:
1.-The recent chastisement which has been
administered to the Democratic party by
the Democrats themselves will undoubt-
edly be fully remembered by the delegates
to the next national convention.
1.-THE recollection viii teach those dele
gates that the platform of 1896 must state
political and economic doctrines, nevas-
lively, unequivocally, and truthfulIy, with
terseness and courage
1.-The national convention will further
be logically convinced, before meeting,
1T seems to me, that honest money is
necessity to honest people and an honest
administration of individual and Govern
ment affairs. Such being its faith, that
convention must declare in favor OF a cur
reDcy depending upon gold for its ultimate
redemption.
ITO my mind, two units of value are alb
solutely unthinkable. Personally, am in
favor OF fadeclarationin the next Democratic

the party to gold monometallism. The

COL. T01TEH's QUESTION
He Asked Il and Then Did Not
Want an Answer.
RAISED A L1UGH In COURT
Amusement Created During the Hear
ing of the Olmsfead Case-It Re-
lated to Mrs. Forney's Competency
to Testify as to Mrs. OImstead's
Fear of Her Husba nd.

The contest over the viii of the late Kate
Hutchinson Olmstead, wife Of John Frank
Olmstead, was continued before Judge
Bradley this morning with the examination
of Mrs Ca the rine Forney, as friend Of the
IA mily.
Judge Bradley ruled that Mrs. Forney had
told nothing in her testiI ony that indicated
any mental unsoundness in Mrs. Olmstead.
Therefore, Mrs. Forney was not allo wed
to answer any general questions as to her
mental capacity or the validity of any
will she might have made on June s.. 1888.
A rapid fire of questions by Mrs. Webb's
counsel, Col. Totten, then followed. These
were ruled out on objection by opposing
counsel, and exceptions were noted
Mrs Foruey said she was one time riding
in a carriage with Mrs Olmstead, when
Mr. Oimstead stopped the carriage on the
street, put his head in at the door and said
roughly: "Heiloi Where are you going?"
They were both frightened. On another
occasion Mrs. olmstead was visiting her
and said she must go home or her husband
would be angry.
COL. ToTTEN's QUESTION.
When Judge Bradley said Mrs. Forney's
evidence did not show dominion exercised
over Mrs. olmstead by her husband. Col.
Totten said:
Don't you think, Judge, II Mrs.. Tot
ten should go visiting and say she must go
home before she wanted to because she
was afraid Of me, / should be exercis-
ing"
DO you want me to answer thaty' in
terrupted Judge Bradley. with a smile.
NO, no." answered Col. Totten, while
laugh went round and tue marshal raped
for order.
NO." continued Col Totten; "you know
Mrs. Totten and me. You know l never
exercise dominiOn over anybody"

He Gives Breezy Opinions Upon the
Contest OF Next Year.
The Hon. William E. Chandler, senior
Senator for New Hampshire, was at tho
Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York. last
night, and gave Ibis views.
Senator Cha ndler said, in the first place.
that he and all New England were for
Thomas B. Reed. and he reiterated this
several times.
II do not believe" continued the Senator,
that the elections On Tuesday last have
benefited any particular Republican can
didate. 1t Is not 81 much q question Of
Republican candidates Just at this moment
as Democratic candidates. l remember
short time ago, while in Washington,
discussing this matter with my Democratic
adversarics. They wouldn't have Steven
son, and many thought of Bill Morrison.
Further than Morrison my Democratic
friends have no candidate in sight"
Senator Chandler said that as a Republi-
can he personally favored the denomination
of President Cleveland. He added:
II have watched the politics of this coun-
try for years. Between sessions at Wash
ington 1 60 70 New Hampshire and tramp
through the woods of Maine, Vermont, and
in the Adtronda cks, and tell you that 1t is
my observations of recent elections that
thousands upon thousands OF Democrats
have refused to vote for the Democratic
party because of the pusillaniniity OF the
Cleveland administration in its foreign
policy.

and other English newspapers have re-
Gently said that l am crazy. Let it go at
that. 1t is about time that somebody in
this country became crazy over the foreign
policy of the administration.
81 reiterate that thousands of Democrats
in the sections through which I have trav-
eled have refused to vote For the Democratic
party because Of President C1eyeiand's
foreign policy. I believe that Congress
should pass resolution recognizing the
beiligerency of Cuba.
''I have been told that President Cleve-
land Ia about to change his foreign policy
and to inaugurate a system that would
sound something like AmeYfcanism toward
Hawaii, Venezuela and Cuba. Mr.. Cieve.
