MR. MACK BECAME ANGRY.
Resented Ex-Senator Gorman's Remarks About the "Bryan Fellows."
SARATOGA, N. Y., Aug. 25.-Ex-Senator Gorman, of Maryland, and Norman E. Mack, of Buffalo, met this afternoon at the United States Hotel and talked politics. The meeting was by chance, and the talk was chance talk, but each gentleman found it convenient to express himself with considerable frankness. After inquiring about the health of each other Mr. Mack, according to one of his friends who overheard the conversation, remarked:
"I see by the papers, Senator, that you are looking after your fences in Maryland and making some midsummer plans for the fall campaign."
"You must not believe all you read in the papers," the ex-Senator is reported to have replied, but I'm glad to be able to tell you that the Maryland Democrats are getting together and that old differences are being forgotten. But we're doing no more than Democrats all over the country are doing-it's a general getting together, Mack, and unless something unforeseen happens, we'll stand a mighty good chance of winning in 1904, at any rate we'll win to a certainty in 1908.
You Bryan fellows are coming back to your ancient moorings and soon the Democracy of the nation will be standing on a platform somewhat different from that manufactured at Chicago."
"The devil it will," is the reply Mr. Mack is said to have made. "Let me tell you, Senator Gorman, that it's you and your type of Democrats that are outside the breastworks. The Chicago platform was built to stand wear and tear, and it will endure. When you and your friends get ready to take your stand on that platform the Democracy of the nation will be united, and not before. If you're not with the rank and file in 1904 it will be you and your friends who will be regarded as deserters. Don't talk to me about the Bryan man getting sane and coming around, and all that. You'll do the coming, sir, and if you want to see us you know where our office is."
The longer the Buffalo statesman talked the more vehement he became. As he grew more earnest ex-Senator Gorman began to smile, and when Mr. Mack had delivered himself he said in that soft, soothing way of his:
"Let's walk down to the spring, Mr. Mack."
