We characterised the dinner given by alleged Democrtts at "8hetryV in New York Ihe olhef nleht, as " fnke dinner." Ii harmony with that view, eipceiMd us toon ai it appeared that the dinner was given to launch another boom (or the Trust candidate, ii the later information that the telegram which the "toastmaster" read as com ing from Mr. Bryan, was spurious. It was delivered by a regularly uniform ed telegraph messenger, was written on the regulation telegraph blank, was signed "W, J. Bryan," and purported to have been reoeived by the Marconi wireless telegraph company from on board the Celtio off the coast of New foundland. It placed Mr. Bryan in the ridiculous light of sending greetings to the givera of a dinner to which be had not been invited, and of beiog the author of the dosing sentence of the telegram, whioh was in these word:: "Do not forget the Western Democrat who polled 6,500 000 votes." The ncit dy the Marconi ootnpany hastened to declare the telegram a forgery, saying also that the Celtio was not tqupped with one of their batteries. It is a precious set of scamps who are engaged in the endeavor to capture the Democratic organintion for the J. P Morgan band of pirate;; and if Tarn- many wishes to retain any influence with Boutbero Dsmoorats, it should make haste to disown that "fake din ner" at 8berrj's, DiaiH or oxiiSiL go&doi. All the South is mourning the death of General Gordon. He was a brave and capable soldier, and a warm-beert. ed and most agreeable man. An Atlanta press dispatch of Saturday nigbt gives tbis brief account of bis death and t ketch of bis career: Lientenant General John Brown Gordon died at bis winter home, near Miami, Fla., at 10:05 tonight. His fatal illness, which overtook him last Wednesday, was congestion of the stomaob and liver, following an acute attack of indigestion, to which he was subject. General Gordon was bom in Upson county, Georgia, July 6 h, 1832. of 8cooh ancestry, which had prominent part in tbe revolutionary war. Young Gordon graduated from tbe Georgia State University in 1S52 and a tow months later was admitted to tbe practice of law. Early in 1SC1 be en listed in tbe volunteer Confederate service and was elected eaptain of his company. He rose rapidly by promo tion to be iieatanant colonel of the Sixth Alahama infantry, in December, 1861. He participated in tbe struggle on the peninsnla, bad part in tbe bat tie at Malvern Hill, ana was eommis sioned brigadier general, November, 1862. He was at tbe battle of Gsttys burg, the battle of tbe Wilderness and at Soottsylvania court house. la May, 1861, was promoted to be major general and took part in tbe important battles which marked the dosing scenes of tbe civil war. His bearing was character ised by boldness and a dash wbieb made him tbe idol of his soldiers, la an official report of Ganeral D. H. Hill General Gordon was character lid as "Tbe Chevalier Bayard of the Cjnfed eracy." When tbe hostilities were ended, he called bis men about him ana advised them to bear tbe trial of defeat, to go home in peace, obey the laws and re bnild tbe wasted country. He baa taken a prominent part in tbe councils of his party since 1866 He was a defeated candidate for Governor or Georgia in 1863, and in 1S73 and 1879 waaeUoted to tbe United States Senate. Resigning tbat position in 1880, be participated actively in build ine the Georgia Pacific railroad In 1886 and 1888, he was elected Governor of Georgia and in 1890 be entered again the U. 8 Senate for tbe full term. Since his retirement from political ac tivity be bas devoted mocb of bis time to lecturing, presenting to tbe North as well as the South hisleoture upon "Tbe Last Days of the Confederacy." Since the organisation of tbe Coo federate veterans, he bas beld tbe po sition of its commander in-chief and bis fr qoent re emotions to that roo lion have testified to tbe warmth of affection in which be bas been held in tbe Sooth. Gen. and Mrs. Gordon had been in Florida three weeks before bis death. His health had been unusually good prior to bis fatal attack. He bad bought a winter home at Biscayne three years ago and had since been spending a portion of tbe winters there. General G ardon's body will be shipped to his borne at Kirkwood, near Atlanta. Ga., tomorrow night, leaving here at 8 o'clock, and reaching Atlanta Mon day afternoon. The liek Iiwlmidlui Oepper Xlaes. Correepondenee of the Obaerrer. Washington, D. C , Dec. 19U1, 1003. Bon. B J.

I send yon tele extract, knowing tbat you have the Interests of your people at heart, and any good newt concerning them will be a source of pleasure to von : ' American capitalists are among the foremost la developing the wealth of. Newfoundland. Of such Interests I may mention the York Harbor Copper Mine, tbe Benoit Cbrone Mtne, the Valley bland and Bay Vert Pyrites Ulnea. "The York Harbor deposits are the richest copper beds In tbe world, and the pre cut owners are spending Jjjo,. ooo 00 In their development" ' With kindest retards, I am, Yoore very truly. Q, B. FATTIUONi etmtttitf connutit. The reaction against tbat fake din ner at Sherry's is-llkely to produce an effect which will be tbe opposite of tbat which was so carefully planned. It is altogether probable tbat it will force the band of Tammany and cause tbat organization to declare for Hearat. If, however, tbe reaction sbonld not go tbat far, it will at. least, in all prob ability, so intensify the anti Cleveland feeling that Hearst, tbe antithesis of Cleveland, will be the Demooratio nom inee. - ' 'a i:lvu luihs to evst cloud."

Some person has sent to na sn en velope containing the press dispatch that appeared in the larger papers, and the substance of which was printed In the Observes at the time and com mented on, giving an account of the banning for tbe presidency of tbe bolter of 1S96 and 1900 by Mr. Olney, the bolter of 1S96. There Is no name accompanying this missive, snd the address on the envelope Is in a dis guised ' handwriting. We do not wonder at this attempt by the writer to conceal his identity, for we have no douot be Is one of those who calls him self Dueefftt-Bdr-a a advocateof. white supremacy, and yet voted for Roosevelt and the negro party, as his chief, Mr. Cleveland, did. He is also, by the way, the same person, as In dicated by the handwriting, who has been sending to the editor of the Ob server for some time past anony mous letters :.nd postal cards abusive of his dead relatives. In addition to what we have had to say concerning that "fake" dinner in New York last week, which is the one described la the clipping sent to ns by the anonymous person referred to above, the following extract from the Washington letter of the New York Times will be found interesting : The reports of the New York har mony dinner have fallen like a bomb shell on the Democrits in Washing ton, and have gone a Ion; way toward dispelling tbe easy and comfortable assurance tbat party harmony is as sured. The southern and western Democrats are dismayed. The cause cf this sudden change" of sentiment is the boom for Grover Cleveland which s sprung at the dinner by Mr. Olnev. Senator Tillman is outspoken In condemnation ot Mr. Olney's declare tion for Mr. Cleveland. "Cleveland a.zain?" queried Mr. Tillman, when asked about tbe suggestion of Cleve land as a candidate of the Democracy this ytar. "Why, with Cleveland as onr candidate we would lose every chance that we now have to carry the presidential election. Within the past month or two I bave beard expres sions and have seen interviews frcm every Democrat In tbe Senate, and they were almost unanimous In their statement tbat Mr. Cleveland is im possible. I admit that he would get scnie votes from Republicans. He Is so good a Republican that he would be preferred by many men In that party to Roosevelt. But, bless you, far every one of those votes that he would bring as he would lose an nn- toid number or onr own Democrats. "The New York Democrats do not seem to understand tbat they need our votes, said another'promtnent Demo crat, who declined to be quoted. "We are willing and anxious to make every concession for party harmony. We are willing to drop onr financial views, say nothing about the Philippine qae9tlon, let ew ork name tbe can oidate, and do almost anything else that is necessary. But some eastern Democrats seem to think that in addi tion to that ve should pat on sack-clothVrrt-ashes, roll in the dirt, and publicly beg the pardon ot the world tor oar heresies. Human nature can not stand everything. We can't vote fjr a man who bolted the ticket." "If by any possibility Cleveland were nominated," declared Represen tative C. F. Cochran, of Missouri, one of the few who were willing to be quoted, " I would take the stump against him." Another Missourlan aald that his State would go Republican by at least 75,000 if Cleveland were nominated. The east." he said, "does not under stand the feeling in the west, or It would not talk of taking such chances " A boom for Mr. Olnev has been making some headway here in the cast month. Today It is as dead as a doornail, killed by his utterances In beha'fof.Mr Cleveland. Olney voted for Bryan in 1900, and there are some who have been disposed to argne that tbat puts the badge of regularity on him, no matter how he voted In 1896 But his declaration In behalf of air. Cleveland bas enraged tbe western and southern D.micrats. There is no likelihood of Cleveland's being nominated by the D.-mocratic party to oppose Roosevelt, the Negro Party president whom he (Mr. Cleve land) caused to be elected, for tbe Sooth and West wonld overwhelm him in' defeat if he were. But, all the same, the agitation in his behalf by Eastern protectionists, and by Mc Kicley and Roosevelt 'Dimocrsts," Is doing all that can be done to re press tbe wave of Democratic nnlty on Democratic principles which lately has seemed to be growing so rapidly. iws Fran li4aaa.

Says the New York correspondent ot the Baltimore Sao, in tbe course of a long account ot the reception of the Democratic leader upon his return to America: ' Hon. William J. Bryan arrived here today on tbe Celtic, of the Wuite Star Line, after a two months' trip through Earope. When Mr. Bryan sailed from New York on the Majeatio, November 11, his departure was almost entire y pri vate. He was weloomed home by a delegation ot Democrats who met the Celtic on a tug at Quarantine, and a reception was giveu to bins at the Hotel Victoria at night. Sloes leaving New York Mr. Bryan bas shaken bands with several kings and has been delightfully entertained by many of the notables ot tbe Old World. Among these were the Pope, the Caar, President Loubet, President DjnoUer, ot Swiiasrland; the Crown Prince ot Denmark, Ambassador Cboate, Tolstoi and Richard Croker. He returns to this conntry more in love with it than ever before, he said, and with a fi mer belief in his own ideas of Democratic politics. As to the platform of the. Democratic party in the 1904 oampaign, he said: "There is nothing in tbe 1900 plat form to oe abandoned, and 1 can't say tbat there is anything to be added." He declined to discuss Democratic candidates, as he had not been home long enough to learn wbo tbey were. As tor bis own position be said: 1 bave said tbat 1 shall not be a candidate this time, I say so now. I bave no plans tor tffije at any time, but I will not give a bond that I will not be a candidate at any time. OUR FIRST GKNTLB1UN OT AMKtUCA IS UNCHANGED IN LOVR OF HIS NATIVE LAND. Mr. Bryan was averse to being inter viewed. He was asked if all he had seen and beard abroad had changed bis views as to political polioies in this country. "Not a whit.'' he said. "In faot, my views in tbe matter of tariff reform bave been strengthened after talk ing with Joseph Chamberlain, Bal four and other Englishmen wbo are conversant with tbat topic. "OE all things yon saw what impress ed you most! ' was asked. "The American shore," he said. NOT FOR NW YORK CONVBNTION. Asked if he was in favor of holding the D-mocratio National Convention in New York, Mr. B.-yan dropped tbe bundle of letters thrust in bis bands and with pronounced emphasis said: "No; not by any means. The con vention should be held somewhere near the center of tbe country. San Francisco is as proper a place as New York. If yon New Yorkers have as much money as yon boast ot having you can well aff ord to go to some city nearer tbe center ot tbe states. "But don't oa regard New York as a necessary State for Democratic success, and don't yon believe an Eastern man will be nominated! ' "No. It will be far better to put forward a oandidate because be de serves t) win than because he comes from New lotk or for any other geo graphical or foolish reason."

Bryan, bas arrived, thus practically eading tbe continental tour, during which be enj tyed reoep tions and demonstrations never before accorded a private American oiliisn. Col. Bryan was given an enthnslas tio reception by a special committee. Tbe administration extended him the courtesy ot port for his many rare souvenirs. ,,. r The Observer, blob gets the tame ssrvioe as tbe Record, received tbe same dispatch, bnt it came to ns too late to be planed in its right position as the leading piece ot news of ths day, We say "the leading piece of news of the day" because the faot tbat the head of tbe Democratic party the man who polled the largest vote ever given to a Democrat, notwithstanding Cleve land's aid to bis opponents, MoKinley and Roosevelt the faot that such a man received "an enthusiastic reoep tion" in New York, "tbe enemy's country," is reassuring to all patriotic Americans. We say tbat snob an evidence of re turning rtason is reassuring to pa triots, because the growing popularity ot Bryan must be tbe measure ot the growth of the unpopularity of Cleve land Cleveland, who gave as Roore veil tor President and Morgan for our financial mentor Morgan whose "mid' night bond deal" with Cleveland trans ferred many millions of dollars from the people's pockets to his own Mor gan, Mr. Cleveland's ri(?bt hand mn, now the disgraced financial bnnco steerer. rlow tar Mr. Bryan's increasing popularity is due to bis social and other successes in his tonr ot Earope, we do not know. Collier's Weekly, speaking on tbis subject, says : "Foreigners have enjoyed bim be cause be was representative of Western Americanism, and, at least in casual relations, they are more likely to enjoy tbat type than tbe cultivated Eastern type, wbioh is more like themselves I hey breathe Ireshness from a man like Mr. Bryan, and be learns intellec taal ripeness and toleraooe from them." Collier's Weekly is far wrong in its as sumption tbat what it calls "tbe oultivat ed Eastern type" is "more like them selves" (tbe foreigners). 8onthernand Western gentlemen of tbe Bryan type are much more like English gentlemen for example, tbau the so-called culti vated Easterners.
