Horseshoe Democrats Indig-
nant at Last Nights Libels
On the McLaughllns.


Intense Indignation was expressed
throughout the Horseshoe last night
against the Evening Journal" for the
publication of an article stating that war
had been declared by the Mclaughlin
Association against the Democratic or
ganization.
A number of prominent Democrats,
when interviewed, all expressed the same
opinion that the story was simply mid
summer madness. They say the. story
was published for the purpose of lead
ing readers astray and creating an inn
preston that there was dissention in the
Democratic party.
The report was positively denied by
members of the organization and many
hard things were said of the paper print
ing such story with absolutely no
foundation.
A prominent member of the Demo-
cratic County Committee from another
section of the city, who is familiar with
the situation all over the county, said
'sThere is positively no foundation
whatever for the statements made in
the Journal, and | do not think anyone
knowing anything about the political
situation would give it the slightest con-
Germ.
although not member of the Nc
Laughlin Association, | can state with
great assurance that it is as loyal as it
is possible for one branch Of a family to

Republican extravaganza in the man
agement of the county courts is glaringly
displayed by the report of the County
Collector for the last fiscal year, ex-
tracts from which were published in
.The News of Monday.
As was shown, in only three instances
were the. Freeholders' estimates of the
needs of the different departments of the
county government exceeded by the ex-
penditures last year. In two of these
cases the excesses were susceptible of
easy and honest explanation, but as to
the expenditure of $123, 21366 for the
maintenance of the county courts for
which an appropriation of $4,000 had
been made, the only apparent explana-
ton is gross extravaganza made possible
by Republican legislation creating use
less sinecures for local party workers.
These heelers feed at the public crib with
little or no excuse for drawing the sal
aries allowed them except that they are
useful to the Republican party on elec-
ton day.
In connection with the appropriation
for the county courts, it must beeremem-
bered that the Freeholders have abso-
lutely no control over it, except to esti-
mate the amount that will be required
and furnish the County Collector with
the funds to pay Ithe claims as certified
by the judges or prosecutor.
In the general pairing down of appro-
priations made by the Board of Free
holders which made up the budget for
19O0-19O1, the item for coart expenses
was left untouched. Most of the others
were reduced. Yet nearly all the other
appropriations for the year show bal
ances left over, while the courts not only
exceeded their appropriation by the
amount named above, but were even
81. 1.6S2 .56 in excess of the appropriation
plus the s11.531.10 collected for fines,
forfeited recognizances, ETC., collected
during the year.

HoTLY ATTACKED BY MORGAN
Opposed Fairbanks Bond Issue Canal
Bill Amendment.

Washington, June 13.-After con-
sidering the London dock charges bill
for an hour and a half yesterday
without completing it the senate re
sumed consideration of the isthnian
canal question. Mr.. Morgan, Of Ala
bama, occupied the floor for three
hours and a half. discussing particu-
larry the diplomatic phases Of the
question.
From this point he was diverted by
an amendment introduced by Mr..
Fairbanks. Of Indiana. providing for
the issue Of bonds for the construc-
ton Of the canal. Mr.. Morgan vigor-
cusly attacked the amendment, main
tanning that the expense of the
canals construction should be paid
from the treasury's current receipts.
Incidentally Mr.. Morgan again op-
posed the Panama route and assaulted
the right of the new Panama COM
pany to dispose of the concessions 1t
held from the old company.

FELL INTO TORPID STATE.
stock Market ReIapsed, Thursday.
Dealings Fell Off About
One-Third.

New York, June 13.-The stock mar.
kst relapsed yesterday into a torpid
condition and dealings fell on about
one-third from Wednesdays aggre-
gate. The efforts which were con-
spicuous Wednesday to advance
prices and which were still in evil
dence in the early market yesterday
were discontinued in face of the dis
ccuraging reception which they met
aid prices were allowed to fall back.
There was no actual weakness devel-
oped and the selling was pretty well
absorbed. In Reading especially, IN
which there were large offerings,
there was ready absorption and ap-
parently a determination to support
the stock. The conspicuous position
OF Missouri Pacific was enhanced yes
terday, and the volume Of dealings in
that stock were far in excess Of those
in any other on the list. 1t was
moved up a point at one time, follow
ed by Texas and Pacific, but the ad-
vance was abandoned, and practically
all the gain was lost.
Speculative sentiment was less
hopeful yesterday regarding the po-
sition of the coal mining controversy.
The pressure upon Sugar was con-
nected with Wednesdays testimony
before the senate committee regard
Ing the methods pursued in the advo
caCy of the Cuban reciprocity policy.

Would Have Enough to Win.

Counting the full Democratic vote
as favorable to the house bill, the
beet sugar advocates concluded that
a proposition to pass that measure
uramended would be the strongest
that could be put forward The COM
hination Of the two forces would give
a total of SO votes, or seven more
than a majority. There were some
objections, but it was pointed out
that by no other course were the beet
sugar senators sure of receiving the
full Democratic vote. The suggestion
also was made that rather than see
the house bill go to vote under such
conditions the friends of Cuban reci-
proc - either would accept a rebate
Plan or permit the session to come
TO close without making further at
tempt to secure action. This line Of
reasoning prevailed and the decision
OF the conference was unanimous.

Propose to Join Democrats.

The Republican senators who are
friendly to beet sugar and who op.
pose the proposed legislation for a
reduction Of the tariff on Cuban
products held conference of almost
two hours duration yesterday and de-
ciced to continue their opposition to
the reciprocity proposition. They
will do this by announcing to the ad.
rocates of tariff reduction that they
will cast their votes for the reciproc-
ity bill as it passed the house of rep
.resentatives, including the Morris
amendment for the abolition of the
differential duty on refined sugar, and
that they will resist all amendments
that may be offered to it. They will
propose two alternatives. One of
these is to drop the subject and max :
no further attempt to secure reciproc.
ity legislation. The other is to &C.
cept the rebate plan.
The committee of Cancellation, con-
sisting Of Senators Elkins, Burrows
and Jones, of Nevada, appointed to
confer with the senators of the Cuban
committee at the OUTSET reported
that they had failed to secure con-
ccssioas from the opposition. The
effect Of the Thurber testimony was
thoroughly considered Immediately
following this report. A count of
those present and those absent and
Known to be in sympathy with the
movement led to the conclusion that
there. are at least 10 Republican sen.
afors who can be depenSed on to
stand together in any course agreed
ON.
