Governor Cleveland Crushing False State
ments Made About Him.
NEW YORK, October 2S.-One OF the
products of the campaign is the so-called
Veteran Logan Legion of Erie County. It's
president is Buffaonian, Alfred Lyth, and
its recording secretary Leroy S. Oatman.
These two persons signed their names to a
circular which is being very generally dis
tributed among the veterans of the State
and country. 1t abounds with false state
ments concerning Governor Clevelands re
Ations with the Grand Army Of the Repub-
lie and with veterans gene rally. No per-
sons better than its Buffalo authors know
the falsity of one its sample statements,
which reads as follows: He was drafted
in 1863, and being Assistant District Attor-
ney procured a convict from the Erie
County Penitentiary as a substitute.
Among those who received this malicious
circular were George.F Dege, Vice Com
mander of Koltes Post No. 32, G. A. r.
K3ltes Post is the largest German Post in
the State.l EOf its $50 members 200 are Re-
pubhcanS who believe that Gov. Cleveland S
official integrity entities him 10 their votes
this fall They have been staggered by the
statement in the circular already quoted.
Mr.. Dege was unwilling to believe it was
true, and he wrote letter to the Governor
about it. Within IS hours the following
autograph letter was left in Mr. Dege's phar-
macy No. 2S3 Third avenue, by the letter
carrier:

officers and men to the dicomforts attend
ant upon a public parade in the
rain storm. The vicinity of the re-
viewing stand, near Worth Monument
was crowded with spectators with umbrellas
hoisted, the weather having frightened,
definite orders were issued for the review to
take place. Notwithstanding the rain, hoth
sides of the streets through which the pro-
cession passed were thickly lined with men
and women. who stood until all the regf
ments had passed. For an hour before
the time appointed for the march of

in an open barouche, drawn by four white
horses, reached the stand. The stand was
comfortably filled. The Governor stood

TYLER COUNTY.
Hon. John Brannon Makes a Fine Speech
at Middlebourne.

MIppLEBoURSE, ". Va, October 2s.-
Exclusive. Hon. John Brannon spoke
here yesterday, and satisfied all who heard
him. l give you a few Of the many points
the Judge made.
He claimed there was a public necessity
for retrenchment and reform in the govern
ment in all its departments, and specified
and showed profigacy in the legislation Of
government by the Republican party.
He discussed the labor and tariff subjects
extensively and exhsustively. He showed
the Republican party had BY its legislation
in 1864, introduced pauper labor and para
lyzed our home labor; that thousands were
to-day without work and without bread;
that the shops and mines were closed against
them, either from want Of work or BY the in
PRODUCTION Of pauper labor.
Tariff.
He showed the Democratic platform and
the Republican platform are the same on
the question of protection. That il was i'm.
portant as soon as practicable TO do away
with the internal revenue tax, and 10 sup
port the government by tax on imports
That to support the government and public
dues would require about three hundred
million per annun. To raise that sum there
was adequate range for full and complete
protection TO our industries, that the tariff
could be increased on luxuries and lowered
on articles Of necessity. That II is duty
of a people to protect and forced its indus
trial systems and that would be done BY the
Democratic party by the means suggested,
Wool.
He asked his Republican friends Of Tyler
what they really thought Of the pretention
Of their party as a real protection party to
the industry of wool growing especially, as
that was all the people Of Tyler had that
could be protected bS tariff tax. He
charged that Republican Congress had
reduced the tariff on wool. That was done
at The instance Of northern manufactures,
and the same Republican Congress in
creased the tariff and protection on manu-.
iactured cloth, they leSSened the price and
value of the sleeps coat and increased the
price Of the coat on Your back
We submit to the people Of this district
thatft would be much better TO send man
with the ability Of Judge Brannon--a man
who can deal with living issues, and be your
representative in fact, instead Of having a
man whose only thought and act seems to
be to decorate the candy shops with his own
picture. =,
The crowd was not as large as il would
have been had il not been for the rain,
which had fallen all the day. But his
speech had a telling effect and Tyler will
do her duty next Tuesday.
