Testimony by Quay's Enemy.
Judge Gordon gave his testimony In a
quiet convincing manner. He deprecated
the stories OF conspiracy against Senator
Quay that have persistentiy been put in
circulation. and frankly answered every
question asked regarding the use he made
OF the papers while he had them. He al

his suggestion, but merely fer purposes OF

The Daily Graphic today contains the great speech of Senator Charles ). Bronston, the free silver leader, of Kentucky, delivered at Lexington last month and which created a sem sation in Kentucky politics because of it's exposure of GoebePs senate. rial and political record. The Ken lucky campaign will go into history as one of the most bitter and re. markable campaigns in the history of American politics, and the Graphic has secured and publishes the concluding one in this issue of two of the most remarkable speech es delivered during that campaign, simply to shed some light upon the issues of that vehement and most remarkable contest. Those who wish a thorough understanding of sone of the issues and personalities of the Kentucky campaign should therefore read the speech of Sena- tor BroEston which appears on page 3 of this issue.

 Washington. Oct. t25.-Today met on the street Clifton K. Breckin- ridge, late American minister to Russia. He is a little heavier, but he appears no older than when he was the wheel-horse of the Ways and Means committee in the eight les. In those days his klnsman, ". C. P. Breckinridge, isfriend William l.. Wilson, his mentor, John Ran dolph Tucker, could talk, and did talk free-trade on the floor of the honse; that was dress-parade. But when somebody, an lmpertintnt chap like Dingley, or Kelley, or Hep burn, asked impertinenr qrestions 1t was Cliff, Breekinridge wAo fur nished the answer. And in the aca- demic discussion he was no mean adversary, either. It is great pity that the minority of the Fifty sixth congress has no man that can approach him in the matter of craftsmanship.
