event of alleged political significance that
has once been postponed took place here
tonight, when Governor and Mrs. Morton
sat down to dinner with twenty-eight in
vfted guests, i1Duding all the political
leaders Of prominence in the State OF New
York. 1t has been said that this dinner
was to be the practical acceptance OF the
presidential offers of his friends in the
State by Governor Morton. So far as the
affair was outwardly concerned it was
called state dinner" Perhaps, because
during the past ten years there have been
no dinners at the executive mansion. the
announcement Of this affair called forth
a newspaper elucidation to the effect that
it was to talk over Mr.. Morton's presi-
Dental possibilities.
The mansion was brilliant with light and
the dining room. which is altogether too
small for the entertainment of any large
sized party. was beautifully arranged. Tall
palms filled the alcoves and corners of the
room and relieved the heavy mahogany
paneled interior. The State linen. which
is heavily embroidered in silk, covered the
large dining table. Its whiteness was only
relieved by the bright green strings of
piece Of American Beauty roses and made
a dainty scroll about each plate. The
heavy silver, the richly cut glass, the can
delebra and the delicately painted china
made most attractive additions to this dis
play. Governor and Mrs. Morton received
their guests in the drawing rooms.
The arrangement OF guests at the table
was. from both n political and a social stand
point, very excellent. IL might be said that

SENSATION IN THE HOUSE.
Rcprcsentative Hardy Makes n Bitter
AttacIx on Mr.. Talbert.

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA very exciting
row was only prevented at the night ses-
sion of the House, which was devoted TO
the consideration of private pension bills,
by the good temper shown by Mr.. Talbert,
of South Carolina, whose utterances at the
night session two weeks ago caused Mr..
Barrett, of Massachusetts, TO offer reso-
luton to censure him for ''treasonable and
seditious'' language. Tonight Mr.. Talbert
was opposing bill to pension soldiers
widow who had subsequently remarked
and had been divorced from her second
husband, when Mr.. Hardy, OF Indiana,
arose and made a savage personal attack
on Mr.. Talbert. South Carolina, he said,
had always been raising her voice in OPP
position TO the Union. I'VE have heard
from South Carolina" said he. year in
and year out, except the four years when
she was out of the Union. She has caused
more trouble than any State in the Union.

Mr. Talbert was evidently suffering under
great excitement while this attack was De-
ing made and an outbreak was expected,
but he restrained himself with difficulty and
turned the attack with pleasant reference
to the fact that Canada had been heard
from. (Air. Hardy was born in Canada)
Later, however, while discussing another
bill, he took occasion to remark that he had
noticed that those who had taken no part in
the war were loudest in their proclama tions
of patriotism and their denunciations OF
those who had fought against the Union.
Mr. Talbert himself served in the Confeder-
ate army through the war. Mr.. Hardy did
not serve in the Union army. Il have no
ticed," concluded Mr.. Talbert, that those
who are invincible in time of peace were
generally invisible in time of war" (Gen-
eral laughter.)
At 1890 p m. the House adjourned until
to- morrow.
