A SURPRISE TO MR.. BLACK.
TALKS WITH HIM AND CONGRESSMAN n CoRMlCK
ABOUT Mr. MORRIS

TALKS WITH HIM AND CONGRESSMAN n CoRMICK
ABOUT MR.. MORRIS
Washington. Dec 1*-Governor-elect BlacS OF
New-York, talking tonight with a reporter OF the
limited Associated Presses said concerning the re-
port that Frederick p. Morris. whom ne had Sc
lected for Paymaster-General of his STAN had at
one time been expelled from the 17th Separate Com
pany OF Flushing n. Y. that he knew nothing
about the truth of the story. Mr.. Morris had been
highly recommended 10 him as a suitable person FOR
such a place. and If the reporter wished TO know
more about Mr. Morris. he would refer him TO Con-
gresham Mccormick. of the Long Island district
who recommended Mr. Morris in the highest terms
In reply to a question whether he had not desg-
mated eight aids his staff when the law only
permitted six, Mr.. Black said he was not aware
that he had exceeded the limit. but that If such
were the facts the law would be compiled with.
Congressman Mccormick was somewhat surprised
at the charges brought against Mr.. Morris, whom
he had known. he said, for several years. lie
was regarded of the leading business men on
Long Island. No stood higher. and not until
to-day, when he received letter from New-York
was he aware that Mr. Morris had ever been In
any trouble His informant stated that Mr.. Morris
had suffered expulsion from the 18th Separate Com
pany twenty years ago. Many times since MI
Morris had been elected president Of Flushing and
he had been a Presidential ElectOr on the Repub-
lcan ticket. In the last campaign Mr.. Depew. In
the course Of speech on Long Island. had cited
Mr. Morris as an example TO prove the fact that
there were no barriers TO merit and ability In this
country: that those who were OF one class to-day
were of another tomorrow. Mr. Morris had at
tained his present place in life starting from the
humble level OF the newsboy.
He said in conclusion that he was satisfied the
offence for which Mr.. Morris was expelled was
trivial. as in all his residence on Long Island and
in all the local and National campaigns In which
Mr. Morris was a candidate he had never heard
OF II. In the last month wnen II was known that
Mr. Norris aspired to place on the Governor 3
staff, the matter had never. to his knowledge. been
mentioned in the public prints In private
versation.
Governor Black did not intimate whether he
would reconsider Mr.. Morris's appointment. and
Mr. Mccormick rather secuted the idea.

THE QUESTION OF GOLD CERTIFICATES

granted In Section y of the act Of July u. lss2

After the reserve has once fallen below one hun
dred millions and the Issue Of such certificates has
been stopped. Il Is not certain that the Secretary
Of the Treasury especially In view OF existing con-
ditons. would Ire justified In resuming their re-
issue. II has hecn the experience OF the Depart
mcnt IN the pnst that the normal increase or the
gold reserve caused by the exchange Of paper cur
rency for gold IN checked By the issue OF gold GER
iiacatcs. and. IN fact. upon various occasions CON
siderable amounts o. gold have been withdrawn by
the presen sion OF notes for redemption and Inn
mediaely redepos;ied In exchange for gold certii-
Gates.
Moreover the House OF Representatives In the
Lid Congress. at Its third session. passed bill
dscontin,:ing their issue entirely and II IL the In
tea,,ca Of the Department to present the subject
again at a very early date. Az the amount OF the
gold reserve ;s largely determined from time TO
l.me ny the available amount OF paper In crcula-
tion II seems inadvisable at this time especially. TO
increase the volume OF that currency BY the issue
OF gold certificates. J. q. CARLIsLE.

REPUBLISHED BY GEN

tor Teller's speech is the more signifi-
can't beca use it is known that it re b
rese nts the views of nearly every Sena-
tor and Congress man west Of the Mis-
souri, river. Senator Teller has tre-
mendOus inf1ue nee in the West, and it
is generally conceded that under his
leadership and influence, nearly every
Western state will cast its electoral
vote next November in accordance
with the bold declaration of principle
and purpose expressed above.
SENATOR TILLMAN's SPEECH.
The next note of defiance came from
the South. It followed Senator Tell
er's speech only two days later, on last
Friday. 1t was in reply to a speech
York senator was upholding the gold
standard, and apologizing for some of
the acts of the Administration Sen
ator Hill, in his speech, had referred
to Senator Tillman as one Of the CO.
terie Of Peoples Party Senators. In
opening his speech in reply, Senator
Tillman said: l had rather be in such
cOterie than with certain men on
this side of the chamber who go
around masquerading as Democrats,
but who are, in fact, John Sherman
Republicans, and will prove it before
1 get through"
Senator Tillman proceeded to ar
raign the administration, and to show
up the record of the gold Democratic
Senators in supporting the Admins
tration. In referring to Cleveland's s
bond issues and gold policy he said:
'sIf Grover Cleveland ever goes before
the people again, he can bear on his
brow the eulogy of the Senator from
Ohio (Mr. Sherman) who had the 9TH
er day declared on the floor of this
chamber that the president had sim
ply done his duty. Grover Cleveland,
John Sherman, and John Carlisle are
linked together-they are atfinities.
The question is will the people be so
them or any who agree with them
again."
Mr.. Tillman proceeded to show that
the great masses of the people in the
Democratic party in the South De-
iieve in the principles of Thomas JEFF
ferson and Andrew Jackson, and said
that they would stand by these prin-
ciples and would not be fooled into
following the principles of Sherm an
and Cleveland, even though they had
a Democratic label on them. At this
point Senator Hill Interrupted him
and said that he did not think that
Senator Tillman represented the
Democrats of the South. Whereupon
Senator Tillman, turning and facing
Senator Hill, and walking down the
aisle pointing his finger directly at
him said: Sat least, Sir, represent
on this floor the people of South
Carolina, and can say to certainty
what they will do, and that is more
than you can do or say for your state
You do not represent the people, even
Of your own state you simply repre-
