The morning times., 1896-07-29

Congressman A. 8. Berry, representing
the Sixth Congressional district OF Ken
tucky. left yesterday for his home at
Newport.
Just before his departure he said to
Times reporter:
Il am going home to work for Bryan and
sewail and to do whatI can to bring about
the success of the ticket.
1T is my opinion that the bolt of Henry
Watterson and the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal will carry but few votes with it into the
Republican camp. Kentucky ca n be counted
upon TO roll up a handsome majority for
Bryan in the November election.
"Ail this talk about Mr.. Sewall with
drawing from the ticket appears TO me
as absurd. If any one witbdraws, Mr..
Watson will be the man.
What do think of tire situation / n New
York? Well. that is an extremely difficult
question OF course, the god sentiment
is strong there. but the opposition to the
Raines law. and the support OF the free
silver Republicans. may give the State
TO the Democrats. The State ticket will
politics is put b y the New York Democracy
The droppers- at Republican Eeadquar-
ters are discussing IN their odd moments
what is apparently the lest authenticated
rumor OF u prospective extra session Of
Congress that has been in circulation since
adjournment The Information this time
comes via the State Department grape
vine telegraph route, and is to the effect
that the chief object o; Secretary Oluey's
Is
suit as to the ACCESSIBILITY OF calling an
extra session early IN September for the
purpose OF taking some action regarding
the Cuban situation. The Republica ms laugh
this report TO scorD and say they would lie
the sole tcReIiCiaries of an extra session.
The Cuban synipathizers everywhere IN
this country have Endorsed the Cuban plank
lDthe epart platform as being arpIeierable
to that adopted by the Democrats, and any
war sentiment would rebound to their in
terest. They also declare that if the Presi-
dent desires To make another appeal to The
Republicans for financial legislation calcu-
lated TO relieve the Treasury and render
further bond issues unnecessary they will
jump at the chance of passing almost on the
very day of assembling the Dingley tariff
bill, which was not even considered by
the free silver Senate. Alt the ante-eiection
advantaGeo of an extra session IN September,
the Republicans affirm, would be with them.
There is considerable talk In political
circles and around headquarters as to
whether the President will wreak speedy
and condign punishment upon those who
are too active in espousing the cause OF
Bryan and the Chicago platform. A pri-
vate telegram received here from Consul
Thatcher, at Windsor. Ontario, whose re-
movai has been ordered and no reason
for the action given, states that he as
cribes the request of his resignation to no
other cause than that he recently served
in the capacity OF enc of the vice presi-
dents at a ratification meeting held in
Detroit in honor of Bryan and Sewali He
says this is the snle sum and substance
of his offending. If Mr.. Tha atcher's belief
be well-founded there is much speculation
as to whether the same species of punish
rnent will be extended to the case OF Sec
retary Smith, who proposes to openly
and above board support the Chicago nom
inees.
A gentleman from st. Mary's county, who
yesterday came into the Democratic head
quarters, says that the farmers of South
ern MARYLAND have done no work since
the adjournment of the Chicago conven-
tion. They have housed their poughs
i'll 4 fence corner. turned the horses out
to grass aud spend all of their time at
the country store discussing the question
OF money. He says that up to the pres
ent the free silver men seem to have the
best of the argument as the farmers think
matters can become no worse for them
ana they might us well try al experiment
and see IL 1T will not bring an improve
ment of their condition. Against this
sentiment the Sound Money Democratic
League Of Maryland will contend in the
nest through campaign OF education that
has ever been conducted in the State.
