A lively fight is anticipated between

management of the system may be GUST

Il am not' Surprised at the resignation OF
w. D. BYppfIra chairman of the National
Democratic gold party said a we'll
known politician from Indiana yesterday.
'Bynum hasabeen running things with a
high hand,s He has ignored the wishes of
the executive )committee and has managed
the affairs of the party more as per-
sonai matter -shan as anything else. By
mum, in faetj has gone upon the belief
that he was the real party himself. / do
not say that Mr.. Bynum has mixed up his
accounts in the least. / think he is an
honest man, but he may have had care
less way of keeping his books.
1T may not be known throughout the
country generally, but it is nevertheless a
weii-established fact in Indiana that Mr..
Bynum is now the most unpopular man.
politically, that ever lived in that State.
de does not live any longer in Indiana,
but is now resident of New York. When
he first entered Congress in 1885. he was
the most rampant advocate of the free
coinage of silver that was anywhere to be
found from the Ohio River 10 Lake Michi-
gan, and from the Ohio to the Illinois bor-
ders. Mr.. Bynum served his district well
in Congress and at one time became very
hostile to Mr.. Cleveland, becaue the latter
was an enemy of free coinage. For
long time Mr.. Bynum and Mr.. Cleveland
did not speak. They became very init
mate, however, in 1896, and there was
hardly day that letters were not passing

Senator Butler of North Carolina. has
returned to the city from an extended
tour of the West. He is chairman of the
national Populist committee, and his mis-
sion West was to impress upon his follow
ers the desirability Of fusing with the
Democrats wherever such a thing could be
done. He reports that fusions are being
made very generally and he predicts that
the next national House of Representa-
tives will be controlled by a combination
in opposition TO the Republicans. He is
quite sure that the straight-out Republ-
cans will be in the minority. The senator
declines to enter into details in speaking
of the result of his mission, giving as his,
reason for this secrecy that he does not
desire to give the enemy the advantage
which would go with publicity of facts at
the present time. He does not go so far
as to say that the Democrats will control
the next House, Gbut he does say that he
is quite confident-that the opposition will
be strong enough, to force the Republicans
into the background as we'll as to defeat
Mr.. Reed for. theaSpeakership.
THE late war against Spain,'' said a
gentleman connected with the theatrical
business yesterday, 'has been the means
of placing upon the stage great many
new war plays. There have been more
new plays written about the war in Cuba
than have been written upon any partic-
ular subject, during the last half CEN
tury.
Speaking Of war plays he continued.
it is a peculiar thing, when one thinks
about 1t, that not high-class play based
upon the late Civil War between the
States was produced upon the stage until
1885. The first war play that attracted
any particular attention was Held by
the Enemy The next war play was
shenandoah written by Bronson How
ard, which was the best of all the war
plays that have been placed before the
American people
Held by the Enemy was written by
William Gillett, and he made the play
popular very largely because of his being
a member of the cast that presented 1t
the first season.
'The war terminated In '65, and it was
more than twenty years thereafter before
good war play was written, or, at least,
before any war plays were produced.
Shenandoah proved to be a great
success. 1t was the best money-making
play that has been written in the last
fifteen years. The manuscript was first
offered to A. M. Palmer, who, after read
ing it three or four times, said it was no

The defeat 5of John Addison Porter for
the nomination of governor in Connecu-
cut yesterday was not unwelcome news
to a great many men in newspaper row
One of the prominent correspondents in
the Row, speaking upon the subject last
night, said: IF President Mckinley is
really desirous of adding to his popular
ity among the correspondents in WASH
ington, there is nothing he can DO 10
bring that about in a quicker manner
than by appointing Mr.. Porter TO some
position other than that of his secretary.
Mr.. Potter has never been popular with the
correspondents. He seems to have poor
idea of what is news, and has never been
as courteous to the representatives of the
press as many of his predecessors. Mr..
Thurber, who served Mr.. Cleveland in the
capacity of secretary, was by no means
popular, but he had pleasing methods
about him that were much superior to
those of Mr.. Porter.
Major Halford, who was secretary to
President Harrison like Mr. Porter had
been a newspaper man, but Mr.. Halford
had splendid idea of what correspond
ents wanted when they called upon him.
He knew news when he saw it. 1t did not
have TO have a brass band in front and
wearing red Indian blankets in order that
he might recognize it.
Daniel S. Lamont, Mr.. Clevelands first
secretary, was, believe, the most popu-
lar man who has ever held that position.
He had been a newspaper man until he
became Mr., Cleveland's secretary, and he
was good newspaper man.
Mr. Porter is the editor of a paper In
Connecticut, but with all his editorial ex-
perience, / am not inclined 10 regard him
as an up-to-date newspaper man. and
certainly not we'll fitted for the place as
private secretary TO the President As
sistant Secretary Courtelyou is a great
improvement upon Mr.. Porter and ii has
reached that point now when all of the
correspondents who have business at the
White House seek out Mr.. Courtelyou in
preference to Mr.. Porter.
II am certain Mr. Porter's defeat in
Connecticut yesterday was a very severe
blow TO him. He expected 10 receive the
nomination He built very largely upon
1t. believingithat the strength OF his con-
nection witA the Administration would
pull him through. If this is TO be taken
as a test, the indications are that the
Administration is not at all popular In
Connecticut.
Il have no doubt however" he con-
tinued, that Mr.. Porter's personality en-
tered more into his canvass for the nom
ination than did his connection with
President Mckinley"

A sunday Cabinet Meeting.

Washington, October 31.-An in
formal session of the cabinet was
held Sunday at the White House.
The president embraced the opportu-
nifty afforded by the presence of sew
eral members of the cabinet to dis.
cuss with them their Forthcoming an
nual reports.
The members of the cabinet pres
emit were Secretaries Alger, Long.
Bliss and Wilson and Postmaster
General Smith. Assistant Secretary
OF the Navy Allen, Adjutant General
Corbin and Surgeon General Stern
berg were with the president during
part of the evening.
The peace negotiations in Paris
were referred to. but were not Sc
riously considered, it is understood.
This statement is borne out by the
fact that Secretary of State Hay WIS
not party to the conference. It
is said authoritatively that no new
developments in the Paris situation
have arisen during the past thirty
six hours. The president is said to
believe that the negotiations will be
brought to a satisfactory conclusion,
sooner perhaps, than is generally ex-
pected.
