have not heard his name mentioned
in connection with the nomination, but
to me he seems, above all others, the
man for the place. He was commits
sioner of pensions under President
Cleveland, and is staunch Demo-
crat, who should be acceptable to all
sections of the party.
For President, l pick German. Not
speaking for the state or for the South,
you understand, but personally, l think
he will be the Democratic nominee, and
1 think he is prominently the man
to lead the Democratic forces to vic
tory. German is an astute politician,
a Democrat around whom all forces
could rally, and he would make a safe
president.
From well-founded information
which l have 1 feel safe in saying that
the chances for a Democratic victory
are Frightening every day. The Re-
publican managers are growing more
anxious over the candidacy of Roose
welt and recognize that without strong
man at the head of the ticket the Re-
publican party is in serious danger of
defeat. With a strong man like Cor

MORGAN & co. DENY
DRESSER'S STATEMENT.

New York, Oct S.-Messrs j. P. Nor
gan & Co. made the following state
ment to-day in reference to the testi-
mony given by Daniel Leroy Dresser
in the shipbuilding hearing:
Neither the firm of j. P. Morgan &
Co., nor any partner ever had any con-
nection with the inception, organiza-
ton or financing of the United States
Shipbuilding Company, nor have they
ever received or owned any of its Sc
curities.
LAS managers of the United States
Steel Corporation syndicate we held
Bethlehem Steel Company stock UNI
til a purchaser was found. 1t was
transferred to the United States Ship
building Company at exact cost and
preferred and common stock, which
were received in lieu of interest and
earnings of the company, were sold at
private sale for $4,000 and the pro-
ceeds were distributed as part of the
profit of the United States Steel syn
dictate.
ANY statement that we were parties
to any agreement for selling stock Is
wholly untrue"
The formal statement issued by Nor
gan & Co., was later amplified by a
member of the firm who declared that
the $3.50 mentioned i'm the original
statement represented the sum which
his firm had received for the S., 000.-
coo (par value), common and preferred
shares of the shipbuilding company 1t
could not be learned when or to whom
this stock had been sold. but the low
price which ii brought suggests that
the sale was of comparatively recent
date
1t was denied by the same member

way parties to an agreement by the
terms of which their shares in the
United States Shipbuilding Company
were to be marketed and sold before
any other stock of the shipbuil6ing
company was placed on the market.

LANGLEY TELLS WHY
AERODROME DIDN'T FLY.
Trouble with the Launching Ways
Started 1t Downward.

Washington, Oct. S.-Speaking of yes
terday's experience at Whitewater with
his aerodrome, Prof. Langley said to-
day that he was not an eye witness of
the experiment having been detained
in Washington by business, but that
Mr.. Manley's first impression that there
had been defective balancing was cor
rect by a minuter examination when
the clutch which held the aerodrome
pm the launching ways and which
should have released 1t at the instant
of the fall, was found to be injured.
Prof. Langley continued:
The machinery was working perfect
ly and giving every reason to antici-
pate a successful flight, when this ac-
cident, due wholly to the launching
ways, drew the aerodrome abruptly
downward at the moment of release
and cast it into the water near the
houseboat. The statement that the ma
chine failed for lack of power to fly
was wholly a mistaken one.
1.-The engine, the frame and all the
more important parts were practically
uninjured. The engine is actually in
good working order. The damage done
was confined to the lighter portions
like the canvas wings and propellers,
and these can be readily replaced.
THE belief of those charged with
the experiments in the ultimate sue
cessful working of the machine is in
no way affected by this accident which
is one of the large chapter of acct
dents that beset the initial stages of
experiments SO novel as the present
ones. 1t is chiefly unfortunate as COM
ing near the end of the season when
outdoor work of this sort is possible.
Whether the experiments will be
continued this year or not has not yet
been determined"
