THE M0RSS DECLARATION
LOCAL POLITICIANS NOT INCLINED
TO LET HIM BURY FREE SILVER.
Tilt Between the Editor and City
Attorney Kern Re-
Gently.

At this time local Democratic political gos-
sip Is Ringing to a great extent on the pres
emit pronunciamento of Samuel Il. Morss
that free silver must not be the principal
issue In the national Democratic platform
OF 1900. He IS coming in for sharp criticism
from many Democratic politicians. These
declare that IL the party shall not use free
silver as an issue 1t will be at loss for
battle cry forceful enough to attract the ears
OF the people. The tariff question is prac-
tically settled, 1t Is pointed out, and the out
look Is that the "blood-squeezing trusts"
will not be so prolific OF political ammuni-
tion to be used against them as was thought
The Democratic party, Ii Is averred, must
continue TO throw on the canvas the picture
OF William Jennings Bryan. II Mr.. Morss
sounded a keynote. the politicians say, ne
sounded 1t on a cracked tuning fork.
In this relation a story is being told about
q comedy that was enacted in the CONNER
cial Club dining room a few days ago. At
noon the dining room becomes a gathering
place OF many Of the most prominent men of
the city. Relieved from the stress of BUSH
ness for an hour, their fancies turn to gos-
sip-political gossip usually. At this par
ticular luncheon hour John W. Kern, city
attorney, NJ. b. Wilson. president Of the
Cdpitdl NduOndl Bank, ana several other
well-known men were sitting at table, and
during the conversation that ensued the
declaration OF opinion made by Mr.. Morss
was spoken OF. After some discussion Mr.
Kern said: ''Well, Mr.. Morss was In Eu-
rope when this fight was and he doesn't
realize what IL means. IL seems"
he continued TO express his opinion that
the Democratic party must stand by Bryan
and free silver, and that no other way is
open 10 IL. While he was talking Mr.. Morss
entered.
I'VE are talking about YOU" said one of
the men, jovially.
Mr. Morss inquired what they were saying
about him, and his curiosity was satisfied
Ii Is SAID he became a little angry.
We'll. say 1t TO my face" he said TO Mr.
Kern.
Mr.. Kern did say it 20 his face, and the is
sue was warm argument. Mr.. Wilson
Democrat.
You didn't vote for Mckinley. did your"
exclaimed both Mr.. Kern and Mr.. Morss.
Yes, did," replied Mr. Wilson, land I
would do IL again IL necessary"
AT this the c0mbatantS, Mr.. Kern and
Mr.. Morss. Joined forces against Mr.. Wilson
While the controversy was on Mr.. Wilson
declared that he voted against free silver
and would continue TO do so. because the
welfare OF business was at stake

sAHM THE SECRETARY.
He Was ''Too Busy" to Take the Less
Arduous Chairmanship.

There was another smile among politi-
clans yesterday when 1t was announced that
Albert Sahm had been appointed secretary
of the Democratic city committee after
Mr.. Sahm had declined to accept the chair
manship on account of his pressing new
business duties. The routine work OF a
campaign falls largely on the secretary. Mr.
Sahm's appointment was construed as an
other evidence that the denomination of
Taggart has been cut and dried AFFAIR
among the Democratic manipulators for
some time. There was still another smile

nomination IL IL would help elect Taggart
