Mx. SOOT AND THE “NEW YORK WORLD.” ‘Mr. Vest replied to Mr. Hoar's remarks of yes- terday, based on the article in the New York World as to contributions to the democratic cam- Paign fund. He read a dispateh which he had re- ceived from Mr. Wm. L. Scott, saying: “There is not a word of truth in Mr. Hoar’s statement;” and stated, in reference to the World, that that jour- hal Was not, in his Judgment, a democratic paper. Ivexercised’ the loerty (wuich it unquestionably had) of supporting the A mn of Mr. Cleveland oF hot supporting 1t, CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN FUND, ‘Mr. Hoar asked What the misstatement in re- ‘gard to Mr, Scott was? ‘Mr. Vest replied that Mr. Scott stated in his tele- gram Chat there Was not a word of truth ip the as- Sertion read from the New York World yesterday. ‘The Senator from Massachusetts had arraigned prominent democrats for having made voluntary contributions to the campaign fund of their party. ‘Mr. Hoar remarked that his point was that while democrats, from the President down, were talking about trusts, 1l Was proper that te people should know that THE GREAT MONOPOLIES AND TRUSTS of ths country were on the democratic side; were contributing to the democratic campaign fund, ‘and were zealous for the election of the present oc- cupant of the Wnite House, dir. Vest—I understand the Senator from Massa- chusetts to state now that he makes no objection or criticisin on these voluntary contributions by members of the democratic party or by executive oiticers., MR. HOAR WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE OTHER SIDE. ‘Mr, Hoar—I will make my own subscription to she extent of my ability, and beyond my ability, before this campaiga gets through. THE DUALITY OF THE PRESIDENT AND THE PAT CIR- CULAR. Mr. Vest referred to the satirical article on the duality of the President, which was quoted last week by Mr. Blair from the New York Tribune; atiributed that Jekyl and Hyde charcteristic to the republican pariy; and-in that connection quoted THE “PAT” CIRCULAR. (ir, Forster’s letter representing that he would “try the fav” out of Pennsylvania manufacturers.) He would lke to know where the “fat” came from that was now being gath- ered trom the Pennsylvania manufacturers. He would like to know where those millions had come from of which the “republican Senator” (al- luded to in the “tat” circular had spoken to Mr. Forster—which mililons bad been gathered up tor Years under the tariff system, and which were now to be expended in the interest of the republican party. it would be impertinence for him to say from ‘whom that statement to Mr. Forster ema- nated, He did not share in the confidence of the Tepubilcan party, and had no right to maxe an as- sumpuon. ‘THE TARIFF QUESTION. Mr, Vost then drifted into the question of the tariff bill He said the democrats had been Yaunted for years because of their failure to pro- Dill, and it was referred to the, finance committee. heard trot i.

HOAR'S REMARKS, Mr. Vest culled upon that gentleman to make his Statement good in reference to their being a repre- sentative of the Standard Oil Co. in Mr. Cleve- land’s cabinet, or to admit that it was absoluvely groundless, WHAT ME. SHERMAN SAYS OF THE SENATE TARIFF BILL. Mr, Sberman took up Mr. Vest’s challenge as to the tariff, and declared that the committee on finance would report a “republican tariff bill Gesigned to protect and foster American indus- tries, as ayainot the free-trade Mills tariff whieh Was in-ended to, and did, weaken many of the industries of the county.” He iurther stated that the bill to be reported py the fluance committee wou d be a revision of the tari” laws and of the internal revenue laws It would give to the. men engaged 0 the arts the’ use of alcohol untaxed and would sweep away’ tax, giving that great agricultural project fair and free play in this country, but the committee would take THIS WAS THE REPUBLICAN FIAT.
