DEMOCRACY ROUNDLY SCORED.
JUDGE MORSE'S SIGNED STATEMENT OF
HIS REASONS FOR NOT SUPPORTING
BRYAN GOLD DEMOCRATS
ALI. FOR M'KINLEY.

Detroit May II (speciaD.-The political sensation
of the year sprung yesterday with the an
nouncement that Judge Morse, who tried last
spring to get the nomination for Supreme Court
Justice from the Bryan Democrats, had renounced
his lifelong political associates to become Re
publican. Those who looked upon it a roorback
were nonpussed to-day at the following signed
statement from his pen:

still insists upon the silver heresy being made a

W. r. Shelby, chairman of the Gold Democratic
State Committee and a prominent railway official,
who lives In Grand Rapids, gave interview to-
day, in which he declares that the two million Gold
Democrats who either voted for Palmer and Buck
ner or stayed away from the polls in 1895 will this
wear rally 10 the support of Nc Kinley. Not
Sound Money Democratic vote will be wasted on
third ticket kept at home, but every last one
will be registered for the Republican candidate.
He says that the Bryan who was repudiated In 1896
has not changed. and his platform has not i'm
proved with age. Sound Money Democrats will not
sign away their political rights TO Bryan
Referring to the Democratic policy of anti-expan-
sion and opposition TO the policy Of the Govern
ment in dealing with the Philippine situation. he
said:
Give the devil his due. The Democrats in Con-
gress forced the Spanish war onto Mckinley,
They tried force 1t onto Cleveland, but failed.
That act brought conditions upon the country.
and the Democratic party should not make itself
ridiculous by advocating resolution which will
not remedy the evils complained OF.

THE NEW TOBACCO COMPANY.
TO BE INCORPORATED IN NEW-JERSEY
WITH A CAPITAL OF so5,OOo,OOO

In confirmation of the published in
The Tribune yesterday of the organization Of a
formidable rival TO the American and Conti-
mental Tobacco Companies it may now be stated
positively that the articles of incorporation will
be filed at Trenton within a few days. The new
concern will be known the International To-
bacco Company. 1t will be Incorporated under the
laws of NewJersey. with a capital of S25 OOO-
000 consisting of 125.OOO shares of per cent
non-cumulative preferred stock and an equal
number of shares of common stock all Of the par
value of 500 each. There will be no bonded
debt The papers. which have already been
executed and signed. were drawn up by Coudert
Brothers. of this city.
Among the corporators are some of the strong
est individual manufacturers in the United
States. including David Dunlop and David Dun
lop, jr., of the Dunlop Tobacco Company of
Petersburg. Va. the largest exporters of manu-
factured tobacco in the world; Brown Brothers.
OF Winston. n. c., manufacturers of cigarettes
and plug tobacco: Alexander Cameron and
George Cameron, of Richmond Va: P H
Hanes and j. H. Hanes, of Winston, N. c.. and
e. c. Venable, of Petersburg Va. The main
offices of the new concern will be in New-York.
1t is believed that the leading spirits In the
enterprise will be George Arents and III. L. Ter
rell. both of whom were active in the affairs of
the American Tobacco Company. Mr.. Arents
was treasurer of the company until a fortnight
ago. when he resigned to go abroad visit
of pleasure. 1t was said. His trip TO Europe is
now believed to have some other object. mas

will make especial bid for the tobacco busi-
ness of the Continent
The capitalization Of the new company is based
on the expectation of 10 per cent dividends.

companies for the last year. The earnings of
the Continental Company last year were $2,O32,

and were nearly all devoted to the payment Of
the 312 per cent dividend the preferred
stock. The International Company will at the
start control twelve factories, with a capacity
of eighteen million pounds exclusive of cigar
cites To the manufacture of the latter $4,000
600 of the capital stock will be devoted
1t is interesting to note that while the con-
sumption of other forms Of tobacco is increasing
enormously, that of cigarettes is decreasing. An
average for nine months shows monthly in
crease in the consumption of cigars of ii.3o3,-
GSI, and of little cigars of 12.o2i. 14S. The
monthly increase in the consumption of plug
tobacco for the period was 4oti 81
pounds, but consumption of cigarettes mean
while decreased 665S562 month.
