Senator Gorman has gone to New York and from there he goes to Saratoga. From the manner in which he has misrepresented his state dur- ing the present term of Congrese, he ought to go to Saratoga or some other sea port and never return to Maryland. The only reason we can decipher why the Union objected to Captain Tygard’s interview in the Kansas City Times, was that it told the plain, unvarnished truth, which is just what Atkeson doesn’t want told in this campaign. If we were a bet- ting man, and had the “stuff,” we would wager dollars to dimes that Captain Tygard's predictions come true, and the U. L. party will be third in the race in Bates county.

It is a re- flection on the political acumen of both the Governor and his warden. These gentlemen, having met by chance in Kansas City, and being old friends, probably had a reunion and are ex- cusable if they indulged in a little talk through their hats, or through anything else. Mr. Kerens, of St. Louis, member of the national republican committee from this state, is howling mad over the endorsement of the A. P. A.’s by the republican convention which met at Excelsior Springs. He says Boss Filley did it and is entirely to blame. The proceedings were har- moniousin the convention for the simple reason that Filley had every- thing his own way. Mr. Kerens has gone to New York to consult the national committee in regard to Mr. Filley's endorsement of the A. P. A. order and from the fuss the party are leaders making over the matter it is evident they are frightened about the Catholic vote. Warden Pace Angry. Jefferson, City, Mo., Aug. 28.— Warden J. L. Pace of the Missouri penitentiary is warm under the col- lar over a report sent out from Kan. sas City to the effect that he was at the head of a movement to patch up peace between Gov. Stone and U. S. Marshal Shelby. The Kansas City story was to the effect that Colonel Pace, with several other gentlemen, friends cf the governor, had waited on General Shelby bearing the clive branch, but that the overtures were spurned and that all is not yet well between the governor and the Gen- eral. Col. Pace denounces this story as a fabrication and fake so far as he is eoncerned. He said that he has not seen the general on any such busi- ness and that nothing has ever pass- ed between them relative to the mat- ter. placed in the hands of the sheriff to Governor for troops, but the sheriff execute the law.

Washington, D. C , Aug. 27.—The! President to-day sent the following letter to Representative Catebings | of Mississippi, who consented to its publication in view of its public | cbuaracter and importance: | Hon. T. C. Catchings | Executive Mansion, Washington, | D. C., Aug. 27.—My dear sir: Since the conversation I had with you and Mr. Clark of Alabama a few days| ago in regard to my action upon the | tariff bill now before me, I have giv- | en the subject full and most serious consideration. The result is I am more settled than ever in the deter- miuation to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. When the formulation of legisla tion which it was hoped would em- body Democratic ideas of tariff re- form was lately entered upon by the Congress, nothing was further from my anticipation than a result which I could not promptly and enthusias- tically inderse. It is therefore with a feeling of the utmost disappoint- | ment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do I wish to avoid any respensibility whic! on account of the passage of this jaw, I ought to bear as a mem ber of the Democratic organization, neither will I permit myself to be separx'ed from my party to such an exten: us might be implied by my veto of tariff legislation which,though disappointing, is still chargeable to Denivcratic effort. But there are provisions in this bill which are not in line with honest tariff reform,and it contains inconsistencies and crud ities which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of any kind. Be- sides, there were, as you and I well know, incidents accompanying the passage of the bill through Congress which made every sincere reformer uphappy,while influences surrounded it in its later stages and interfered with its final construction which ought not to be recognized or toler ated in Democratic tariff reform councils. And yet, notwithstanding all its vicissitudes and all the bad teat ment it received at the hands of pre tended friends, it presents a vast improvement to existing conditions. It will lighten many tariff burdens that now rest heavily upon the peo- ple. It is not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage ground from which must be waged further ageres- sive operations against protected monopoly and governmental favor- itism I take my place with the rank and file of the Democratic party who be lieve in tariff reform aud who know what it is, who refuse to accept the results embodied in this bill as the close of the war, who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of Demo- cratic reform has been stolen and worn in the service of Republican protection, and who have marked the places where the deadly blight of treason has blasted the councils. of the brave in their hour of night The trust and combinations—the communism of pelf, whose machina- tions have prevented us from reach- ing the success we deserve, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall recover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, and if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit tu the free legislative will of the people’s representatives or shall dictate the laws which the people must obey,we will accept and settle that issue as one involving the integrity and safe- ty of American institutions. I loye the principles of true De- mocracy because they are founded in patriotism and upon justite and fairness toward all interests. I am proud of my organization because it is conservatively, sturdy and persis tent in the enforcement of its princi- ples. Therefore I do not despair of of the efforts made by the House of Representatives to supplement the such modifications as will more near- ly meet Democratic hopes and aspir- ations. H Ican not be mistaken as to the| necessity of free raw materials as the foundation of logical and sensi- ble tariff reform. The extent to) which this is recognized in the leg islation already secured is one of ite enconraging and redeeming features; but it is vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron have been denied, a letter for the secretary of | free by the annual surrender | ‘of only about $700,000 unnecessary , revenue jtruth is their influence | their product must be corresponding and fairness to the consumer would bill already passed by further legis-|, lation and to have engrafted upon it| : Iam sure that there 1s a common habit of under estimating the impor tauce of free raw materials in tariff legislation, and of regarding them as ouly related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. The is so far- reaching that if disregarded a com- plete and beneticent scheme of tariff reform can not be successfully in- augurated. When we give to our manufacturers free raw materials we junshackle American enterprise and ingenuity, and these will open the, doors of foreign markets to the re | ception of our wares and give op- portunity for the continuous and re-! munerative employment of American labor.
