No Room for Gold Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Nov Ex-senator Nor
gan. of Alabama. in an interview, said
that he did not look for any action on the
Dingley tariff bill or the financial question
at the coming session of Congress. He, as
a Democrat. was willing the Republicans
should pass the Dingley bill, but did not
believe that party desired to do so. The
Senator said that though efforts might be
made to bring about international bimet-
allism. he regarded them as foredoomed
to failure and absolutely impracticable
and likewise inconsistent with our ma
tional independence.
To the question, "Will the National Dem
ocrats be admitted to the Democratic eau
cuses in the Senator? Mr.. Morgan re-
sponded: Not at all. Not at least with
out repentance and neither of them have
shown evidences OF that. These gentlemen
will not wish TO associate with men whom
they have denounced as Anarchists,
traitors and dishonest people. 1t would be
expecting too much of them 10 suppose
they would do anything of the kind

FAVOR M'kINLEY.
But Catholic Authorities at Rome Think
Archbishop Ire1and's Letter Unwise.

London, October 15.-The Daily News
publishes despatch from Rome saying
that the vatican, though favoring the
candidacy of Mckinley for the Presiden-
cy Of the United States, does not approve
the recent letter Of Archbishop Ireland,
supporting Mckinley, because 1t mixes
religion and politics, which the vatican
thinks should be kept separate in the
United States. 1t is feared that the
letter will displease the eastern and
southern Irish Catholics, who support
Bryan. The despatch adds that instruc-
tions will perhaps be sent to Mgr. Mar
tinelli concerning the attitude of the
Catholic clergy in regard to the Presi.
Dental campaign.
