INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 1.-The al
legged Dudley letter of advice to workers,
whichthe Democratic papers published,
is denounced by the Republicans as q
forgery. It is claimed that the genuine
9iletterhead of the Republican national
committee is materially different from
that which appears in the purperted
copies as published in connection with
this letter. Col. Dudley's son, who is
here, states that his fathers name is
forged and that there is a wide difference
between it and his genuine signature.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The Democratic
national committee announced that the
Indianapolis News, Gen. Harrison's or

publican committees to the effect that

half Of himself and HIS committee he ut
terly ~repndiates such suggestions; that
the commi1ltao seeks to collect only suf-
ficient funds to get out the Republican
vote and prevent Democratic frauds, and
that they ask the CO operation OF all
good citizens to prevent violation of the
election laws. The News also editorally
says the letter is the work Of a sceun-
drel. 1t also says that Judge Claypool
pronounces ii genuine.
