FORAKER'S REPLY.
He Insists That the Statements Support
His Position.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator For
aker. in answer to the statements con-
cerning the authorship of the gold
plank of the republican platform of
1896, said to-day:
THE statements published by Mr..
Payne. Governor Merriam, Senator
Hanna and Senator Proctor do not con-
ffict with any statement that has been
made by me, neither do they help in
any way Mr.. Kohlsaat.
THE point in issue was whether or
not Mr.. KOhlsatt drafted the gold
plank and forced it's adoption upon the
committee. The statements show that
he had nothing whatever to do with
the framing of the plank except in
common with other republicans, and
refute absolutely his claim of author

Death of the Duke,

London, Dec. 22--The Duke of West
minister is dead.
The National tribune., 1899-01-12

On the morning of the 9Th of July Morgan
attacked the Union garrison at Lebanon, Nv
upon its refusal to surrender, and with severe
loss captured the garrison. In the list OF
killed was Capt. Tom Morgan brother OF
Gen. Morgan, serving at the time on Gen
Basil Duke's staff.
A WHY REBEL.
Thereafter Morgan avoided direct assaults
upon the Union forces whom he met in his
path, and with skill and adroitness avoided
giving battle to the Union troops
We expected Morgan to turn east before
striking the Ohio River. but in this we were
mistaken, as, upon arriving at Brandenburg
Ky. some 40 miles below Louisville. he
seized passing steamboats, and landed his
force in Indiana.
Following his trail we reached Brandon
burg Just IN time to see Morgan's rear-guard
disappear over the river bank, going north

enough to NTTe their hats at Us and bid Us

flames, and burned TO the waters edge, tied

and our pursuing force hastily transferred
across the river, men and horses being tunl-
bled aboard the boats in quick order. and
tumbled Oft the boats as quickly when on the
other side. There were many laughabe

instances of men and horses falling into the
river, but everything WENT IN those days,
whether ii was agreeable or not.
The appearance of MOrgan's men on the
north bank of the Ohio River created great
CONSERVATION in Indiana and Ohio. The
Governor of Indiana called out the Home
Guards to the number of $4,000, and as
Morgan's advance turned towards Ohio, the
Governor of the & Buckeye State called
out 80, 900 Home Guards from his State.
At Corydon, Ind, the Home Guards gave
the invaders brisk little battle and de-
layed their advance for a brief time.
Gen. lfobson's pursuing column of which
the 18th Ohio Cav. was Il part arrived at
Corydon within few hours after Morgan s
departure. The citizens of Indiana re-
ceiyed Us with the greatest JOY and enthusi-
asm, and from the time of our arrival at
Corydon until the end of our march at Buff
ington Island, O., a distance OF about 800
miles, our line of march was between two
lines Of patriotic people, occupying each side
OF the rOad-men. women, and children
laden with good things for Us to eat, the
principal article being fried chicken. In
truth, and literally, there were 600 miles of
fried chicken
We have all heard the story of the - chaff y
between soldiers of the Western and Eastern
armies, when the Western maa, mindful of
the hard bread and fat pork he had consumed
as his daily rations for weeks and months
without variation, asked tie soldier of the
Eastern Army ii the report was true that
Mcclellan issued champagne and oysters to
the Army OF the Potomac.

AN AWFUL. SLAUGHTER
At first this article of diet was acceptable
but 600 mites OF fried chicken was more than
we could stand. We begged the good people
to telegraph ahead to stop this awful
slaughter of chickens for our benefit, and
provide some bareback and salt pork, Or they
would kill US with their well-meant kind
ness
In our procession of 300 miles between

citizens, these tens of thousands OF citizens
