HENRY C. LEA on CLEyELAND's TREACHERY.
Philadelphia, oct. 10 (specal.-Henry C. Lea, one
of Cevelands supporters four years ago on the ground
Of Civil Service Reform prints the following In The
evening Telegraph to-day In answer 10 an editorial
In that paper yesterday:
NV grievance against Mr.. Cleveland Ia that al
though he was elected under pledges TO advance the
reform, he has betrayed It, and has sought 10 escape
the consequences OF his tIeachery by raising ahotcr
issue which should make the reform forgotten In
no way could he effectively complete the evil
work into which he has been seduced by ainblflon
for a second term. Under these circumstances the
duty of all reformers Is clear. They should nantes,
mess who allow themselves to be beguIlcd into sup
oting Mr. Cleveland the other Issue which ne mas
accompces in the murder which no is attempting. The
SECTION may be close one, and 1t Is within me bounds

PREMIER. MILLS'S LOSING FIGHT AT HUME
BRENNAN, Tex, Oct. 10 (special).-The fight In the
Mills district for Congress goes merrily on, aithough
the merrment Of the campaign appears all 10 De on
the side of Ms's opponents. They have just cause
to be in good spirits; but the supporters OF Mr. Ms
feel that defeat sure and they cannot conceal me
fact that they believe theirs TO be fororn nope
Since the very opening Of the campaign Colonel Jones
has steadily gained strength. The dislike 10 Coionei
Mills has been brought about BY several causes, CHER
among them the inconsistencies in his discussions IN
regard 10 the tariff issue When A. C. Prendergast,
of Waco chairman of tho Democratic Executive Com
mtice of the XIXth Judicial District, came out In a
powerful letter In which he showed Mr. Mills up IN
his true light and proved by undoubed facts that the
latter during his entire public l.fe. has been at one
time or another on both sides of every political issue
Is needless TO say that the Mills following felt de-
swallow. w. ii. Bassett, Of Washington County,
Interview recently declared his unqualified opposition
10 Mr. Minis and this too in no mild terms. Colonel
Joness majority in this district will DO at least 5000
