It would be difficulty to find a mild-

President Morton, but according to a
story that has floated over from New
York he recently made Mr. Carter's
hair stand on end, by swearing a string
of oaths that could only have been ex-
pected from a cow-boy on a “bucking”
broncho. The occasion upon which
Mr. Morton lost his temper was when
he was visited by Mr. Carter and asked
to duplicate the check which he gave
to Mr. Quay in 1888 to be used for
campaign purposes. He did not dupli-
cate shat other check, nor draw a
check of any kind; but he did give Mr,
Carter his opinion, very freely, of the
underhanded methods by which he
was shelved to make room for Mr.
Whitelaw Reid, and he also told him
that Mr. Reid was the proper person to
apply to for the duplication of the
Morton check of 1888, It is well
