L A MONT NAILS A LIE. CLEVELAND IS NOT DICTATING SEN ATORSHIPS, HE SAYS. The President-elect Is Not Favoring Any ' One in New Jersey or Any Other State, | but lie Will Remember the Men Who | Aided Him. NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Colonel Daniel S. Laruont authoritatively denies that Mr. Cleveland is dictating the selection of Dem ocratic senators in various states, but says that it is true that the president-elect will not forget the men who favored his nom ination. "This dictation falsehood," said Colonel Lamont,"was started with malice. It has been taken up by opposition news papers ami has traveled all over the coun try. I can state authoritatively that Mr. Cleveland has not dictated, interfered or even suggested the election of any one in the states in which there are Democratic legislatures aud where contests are being made. "I may say that in many of the states Mr. Cleveland does not know who are can didates for the senate except through gen eral report. In New York of course Mr. Cleveland has stated his objections to Mr. Murphy, as he bad a perfect right to do, but he has not gone beyond his own state." "It has Been specifically charged that Mr. Cleveland was trying to name the senator in New Jersey. "That statement is absolutely false as to New Jersey or any other state. Mr. Cleve land has no candidate for senator even in his own state." Murphy Will Probably Win. ALBANY, Jan. 8. —The legislature met ' here at noon. The governor's message was delivered after the senate and assembly had organized. Both houses will adjourn until Monday night in order to give the speaker of the assembly time in which to prepare his standing committees. The new speaker chosen is i William Sulzer, of | place by the Dein- j ~ Sr\ o cra ti c caucus, j //f, V .. born in Elizabeth, j J|fe|| N. J., in 186.3, and I ted to the bar, and : assembly for three | terms with dis- j tinction. Mr. Sul- SPEAKER SULZER. zer j s next to the youngest assemblyman ever elected speak er, ex-Senator Edmund L. Pitts being the youngest man who ever held that position. The other officers of the assembly are Charles H. De Freest, clerk; Michael B. Redmond, sergeant-at-arms; Edward A. Moore, doorkeeper; Anthony J. Walko wiak. first assistant doorkeeper; William : C. Filkius, second assistant doorkeeper, ! and Thomas J. Hassett, of Steuben, ste- I nographer. Malby to Load Republican)!. The Republican assembly caucus to nom inate a Republican candidate for speaker, and thus to designate the leader of the minority during the session of 1893, result ed in the selection of Assemblyman Malby, I of St. Lawrence, who defeated Hamilton Fish, Jr., by a vote of 28 to 23. The all absorbing topic is the contest for United States senator. Judge Griffith and other friends of Edward Murphy, Jr., from Troy, have opened Rooms 57, 58 and 59 in the Delevan House as the headquarters in J which the senatorship canvass in behalf of Mr. Murphy will be carried on. Unless all signs in the political sky fail, Edward Murphy, Jr., will succeed Frank Hiscock in the senate of the United States. No name but his is even seriously hinted at. The opposition of Cleveland has sim ply crystallized all factions and made them practically unanimous. It is stated here that there is a universal feeling that Mr. Cleveland must be taught that, although he is president-elect, ho is not the boss of the Empire state, and in giving that lesson Messrs. Hill, Croker, McLaughlin and Sheehan will make it as direct, forceful and as comprehensive as possible. They are determined that the Trojan shall not be sacrificed for the "personal comfort" of Mr. Cleveland. Governor Flower's message was a very long document, analyzing all the state interests. It showed the state was prac tically free from debt, advocated equaliz ing taxation, regretted the necessity for , troops at the Buffalo strike and commend ed the action of the militia during the troubles, advised the improvement of the canals and advocated the use of electricity as a motive power thereon, recommended measures for the promotion of agricultural interests, suggested that the personal reg istration law be extended throughout the state, advocated legislation against the coal combine, and recommended the im provement of the roads of the state and the preservation of the Adirondack forests. Senatorial Caucus at Ifarrinburg. HARRISBURO, Jan. 3. —At the Republican senatorial caucus a resolution was adopted providing for the holding of a joint caucus of the Republican members of both houses on Jan. 17 to consider the nomination for United States senator to succeed M. S. Quay. The caucus selected the following officers: President pro tern., J. B. S. Gobin, of Lebanon; chief clerk, F. W. Smiley, of Venango; journal clerk, James L. Brown, of Philadelphia; reading clerk, J. M. Car son, of Butler; message clerk, W. C. Rog ers, of Jefferson; transcribing clerks, Henry R. Thorpe, of Mercer, and I). C. Barkman, of Somerset; clerk to president pro tern., James Mcß. Robb, of Alleghany; sergeant at-arms, John 11. Hyers. As the senate is ' Republican they will be elected. The Democratic caucus of the lower house nom- ' inated Walter E. Hitter, of Lycoming, for speaker, und E. B. Kearns, of Pittsburg, for clerk. The caucus of Republican members of the house selected C. C. Thompson, of War ren, for speaker, and Charles E. Voorhees, of Philadelphia, for chief clerk. The message of Governor Pattison is practically a review of the operations of the state government for two years past and touches upon some three score subjects of public interest and of official concern. The state has been bountifully blessed except by the calamities by flood and fire at Titus ville and Oil City and the spirit of insur rection at Homestead, where, he says, "un der the plea of correcting abuses civil au thority was suspended and the officers of the law were defied. To restore and main tain order the whole military force of the state was moved. Our cost in this trouble will not be considered if it be followed by greater love of liberty, obedience to law and support of the public authorities." The state's receipts for 1892, including the balance on hand, were $17,728,018; the expenses $11,727,968.68. leaving a balance in the treasury of $#,000,644.95. The expense of the national guard, including $37*5,228.4# expended in the suppression of the dis turbance at Homestead, was $583,599.14. I The total public debt of the atateon Dec. ' 1, 1892, was $8,894,402.28, showing a reduc- ; tion of $1,417,100. The governor believes personal property should pay more taxes and urges that a revenue law be framed by which the en- ' tire cost of the state government should be paid by the taxation upon corporations ! and collateral inheritances, aud the re- i ceipts from taxes upon other forms of per- | Bonal property be returned to the several counties to relieve the real estate therein. He recommends that the office of mer cantile appraiser be wholly abolished and 1 that all officers be paid by salaries and not by fees. He pronounces the Heading rail- j road combine "an especially flagrant illus- I tration of the manner in which the consti- ! tution is defied" and urges remedial legis lation. He denounces the senate's action; 1 that it had no jurisdiction in the Hardsley case. The Baker ballot law is commended as satisfactory upon the whole, ami the governor points out the constitutional and political reasons for an early representa tive, senatorial and congressional appor tionment. The long delay in making a reapportion ment of the senatorial districts of the stale is emphatically denounced. The enormous cost of the state printing is the subject of criticism, and great pre cautious against cholera are recommended. The governor says Alleghany county made no effort to suppress the Homestead disorder and should pay the bills of the militia. Piukertonism should be prevented, the governor believes. The national guard is highly commend ed for its efficiency, organization, disci pline and zealous obedience. Fought liulkeley to the Kml. HARTFORD, Jan. 4.—The outgoing sen ate's last act was a snub to the governor. It is customary for the two bodies on the lust day of the session to appoint a joint committee to wait on the governor, but the senate adjourned abruptly, appointing no , committee, thus refusing to the etui to recognize the governor. The house ap- ' pointed its own committee to notify liulkeley, who cume into the chamber and adjourned that body. The senatorship question is the burning issue of the day. The prevailing opinion seems to be that Senator Hawley is sure of being elected by the new legislature, which has just con vened. | llawley supporters have come on from all over the state, and they say his nomi j nation will be made on the first ballot in j the caucus. The names of Governor Bulke ' ley, Judge John M. Hall, of Willimantic, j and the Hon. Henry C. Robinson, of this j city, are also mentioned. The Republicans appointed a caucus committee, which will ; call the caucus for nominating a United ; States senator. The Republicans of the legislature met in caucus in the hall of the ! house of representatives. Isaac W. Brooks, : of Torrington, was chosen for speaker. ; The senate Democratic caucus nominated | Senator Holden, of Ansonia, for president J pro tempore. j They Will Control tho Senate. I WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Chairman Car i ter, of the Republican national committee, gives it as his opinion that the Democrats, aided by the Populists, will wrest the or ganization of the senate from the hands of the Republicans in early March. He does not share the belief of Senator Warren, of ' Wyoming; Senator Felton, of California, and Senator Perkins, of Kansas, und other senators from northwestern states that their legislatures will be able to return Re publicans to the United States senate to succeed those whose terms will expire with this session. He so entirely gives up the hope of a Re publican senator from Montana that he de nies ever having been a candidate to suc ceed Senator Sanders. In Wyoming and Kansas he thinks that the Populists and Democrats will join in electing Populist senators, and that all of them will vote ' with the Democrats in reorganizing the senate next March. So far as Wyoming is concerned Senator Warren does not agree with Mr. Carter . and has left for Cheyenne to look after his interests. He believes that he will be re elected. Nevertheless the conviction is growing that the senate will be reorgan ized and controlled by a fusion between the Democrats and Populists. Populists Claim Control. I TOPF.KA, Kan., Jan. 3. —Political interest I in Kansas is now centered in the organiza tion of the legislature, for on it depends the election of a United States senator. The Populists have a clear majority of 10 I in the senate, but on the face of the returns the Republicans haveoßof the 125 members of the house certain and probably 64. Not withstanding this fact, Populist leaders claim that the house will be under their control Republicans Vole for a Populist. HELENA, Mon., Jan. 3. —The house at tempted to organize here. A motion was carried by the Republicans, aided by two Populists, to proceed to the election ol tem porary chairman. The Democrats objected and left their seats. The remaining twenty live Republicans and two Populists pro ceeded to ballot, casting all votes for Mat thews, the Populist, amid great cheering by the Republicans. They then adjourned. White Will Succeed Felton. SACRAMENTO, Jan. B.—A sensation was caused by the withdrawal of W. W. Foote, Democrat, from the senatorial contest. He and bis chief supporters declare in favor of i Stephen M. White, the only other l)emo crat in the field. This practically insures I the elect ion of White to succeed Charles N. | Felton, Republican. The balloting for j senator will begin in a week.

The New York l'reshyterj*, by a Vote of | G8 to GO, Puts Itself on Record in Favor of the Professor's Acquittal—The Pros ecution to Appeal. | NEW YORK, Dec. 31.—Professor Charles F. Briggs, accused of heresy, was acquitted by a vote of OS to 00 by the New York pres bytery. The result of this, one of the most important ecclesiastical trials in the his tory of the country, was a great surprise. Even the most hopeful frfendsof the now famous divine did not hope that he would be acquitted on all of the six charges which had been made against him. On the first charge—that Dr. liriggs had taught that the reason is a source of divine authority—the defendant was acquitted by a vote of <SB to 00. The vote ou the second charge—that of having taught that the church is a source 'of divine authority—resulted in a much larger majority for Dr. liriggs. Fifty-five ballots were cast in favor of sustaining the charge and 71 votes against it. A Signal Victory for llriggH. The closest vote was on the charge that Dr. liriggs bad taught that the Scriptures contained errors of history and fact. It stood 01 to sustain the accusation and 07 I for acquittal. This proved to be a signal victory for the defendant. After the bal lot had been taken three of the men who have been most bitterly opposed to Dr. | Briggs left the court room, while several refused to vote on the three remaining charges. On the fourth charge, which accused Dr. Briggs of having taught that Moses was not the author of the Pentateuch, the vot ing was as follows: To sustain the charge, 53; against sustaining it, 72. 1 The fifth charg • was that the defendant had taught that Isaiah did not write many of the chapters in the book bearing his name. On this count the vote was 70 to 49 in favor of Dr. Briggs. On the sixth charge, accusing Dr. Briggs of teaching that sauctiiication is progres sive after death, the vote was 57 in favor of sustaining the charge, 09 against. It was announced that the prosecution would take an appeal to the general as sembly, which body will meet in Washing ton in the early part of the coming spring. This will in a measure be a work of super erogation, as the assembly is obliged to re view the proceedings of tlie presbytery. Why the Pope Forgave McGlynn. NEW YOKE, Jan. 3.—The Herald says: Rev. Dr. Edward F. McGlynn has been welcomed back into the fold of the Catholic church simply because the pope considered i that injustice was done him when he was excommunicated. Archbishop Corrigun's charges against Dr. McGlynn, disobedience and preaching false doctrines, have not been acted upon at all by Mgr. Satolli in restoring Dr. McGlynn to his full powers I as a priest. These charges still hangover the head of Dr. McGlynn, but it is ex tremely doubtful if they will ever he pushed. The case will probably never be reopened. Dr. McGlynn was excommunicated for "contumacy" in not having gone to Home when summoned by the pope to answer the charges made against him by Archbishop Corrigan. He was excommunicated because a letter which lie dispatched to the pope, after re ceiving the cablegram from him ordering him to Home within forty days, was sup pressed before it reached its destination by a church dignitary to whom it had been given for transmission. llad this letter reached the pope, it is said, Dr. McGlynn would not have beenex commuuicated. The doctor did not know that his letter had miscarried and was sur prised to lind himself excommunicated. The Pope Very Angry. KOMI:, Dec. 31.—The holy father is greatly incensed at the opposition displayed against Mgr. Satolli and a peaceful and moderate solution of the school question in the United States. The pope has already on several occasions given expression to his feelings on the subject with consider able warmth. Speaking recently to one of bis confidants, he is reported to have said, "They (Satolli's opponents) want to force the holy see to retreat, but the pope will not be repulsed."
