SORRY TRICK EXPOSED.
Several Forgeries on the Appeal OF
Uncle Hiram.

OuClC
DIES MONIES, Oct. SOTO their many
Ubiquitous practices of this campaign
the Republicans managers have added
forgery. Thedesperation of their cause
could not be more strongly emphasized
than by the discovery of this most in
famous act. When the address to the
anti-prohibitiou Republicans was issued
few days ago, containing the names
of some forty persons in four Of the
river cities, it was supposed that the
signatures thereto appended had been
honestly obtained, but this proves not
to have been the fact. Some of them,
at least, and these the most prominent.
were obtained by forgery. This
is the case of Judge G. Nj. Wat
erman, of Davenport, district Judge
of the Seventh judicial district.
Judge Waterman is without question
the ablest and the most widely known
man whose name is appended to that
address. His home is in Davenport. land
his standing at the bar Is such that he
was unanimously elected to place on
the bench, receiving the united support
of all political parties.
Judge Waterman ann ounces that he
never signed the address IN question,
and that he is not in sympathy with the
object sought to be gained thereby. He
says that he is a Republican, and that
two years ago he favored the nomina-
ton of Candidate Wheeler for the rea-
son that he was then we'll known to en-
tertaE moderate views upon the prOhi-
bition question. 1t was fully understood
at that time thati if Mr.. Wheeler was NOM
mated and elected he would have APP
proved a modification of the prOhibitOTy
law, provided the legislature had made
the change, and for that reason his can
didacy was favored by liberal Republic
ans like Judge Waterman.
This year, however, Mr.. Wheeler has
taken an entirely different course. He
has practically placed himself in the
hands of the state temperance alliance
and the radical prohibition element of
the Republican party, and has declined
upon a. occasions to make any definite
statement of his views. For this reason
Judge Waterman says he will under no
circumstances support him, but Will
vote for Gov. Boies, and hops that he
will be elected.
He denounces the connection of his
name with the anti-prohibition address
as fragrant act of forgery, and wishes
that the facts concerning the same may
be published to the world. A number
of other citizens of Davenport whose
names ars appended to this address de-
clare openly that they never signed it,
and that their names were forged IN
connection with that of Judge Water
man. The probability is that this is
equally true Of many of he citizens of
other cities whose names are appended
to the address. 1t is not improbable
that fully one-half of the forty names
have been procured in this way.
When Judge Waterman's statement
became known In Des Molnes it Gre
ated widespread interest. Among the
many liberal Republicans here there

and averted what would otherwise have
been a serious accident. His fireman
jumped, as did the conductor, express

were damaged, the locomotive of No.

feeling in Chilli Is Intensely
Hostile--Egan's Recall Is
Demanded.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 3O.-All kinds of
festly absurd stories were telegraphed
to Washington to-day from other cities
in this country and Europe for confir-
nation or contradiction. In the latter
category was the startling announce
ment cabled 10 Europe by a sensation
mongering news agency, that the presi-
dents cabinet had decided to declare
war on Chill; that all of our navy yards
had been pressed to prepare vessels to
leave Immediately, and that orders had
been issued to the vessels therefor.
When this story was brought to the
attention of the officials of the depart
ment of state they were amused rather
than indignant. One of the assistant
secretaries, after characteriZing the
story as absurd, remarked that the au-
thor had overlooked the fact that under
the terms of section S.of the constitution
the congress of the United States alone
has power to declare war, and that tie
president and his cabinet had no share
of this power. So. zoo. the story that
Minister Egan had been recalled was
promptly uccldTeu 10 De all IuNSHliOi
without foundation i'll fact.
The navy department officials evil
IDENTIFY have no expectation of an imme-
diate outbreak of war. Commodore
Ramsay, in charge of the navigation
bureau, without whose knowledge not a
naval ship moves, said that SO far as he
knew there had not been a single order
issued bearing OH the Gillian situation
during the past week. The naval Off
GERS in charge of the various bureaus in
the different navy yards also stated that
there were no unusual preparations
going on in their respective depart
mentS. Altogether there was an air Of
serenity aud everyday humdrum about
the state and navy departments which,
no less than the oral denials, afforded
an emphatic contradiction of any and
all sensational reports Of warlike dis
turbanceS.
AS nearly as could be ascertalned to-
night, this government proposes to wait
reasonable time for Chill! to conclude
the inquiry which is now said to be
under way. This reasonable time'
Will not be question of months, but of

is reason to believe that it is intention
ally delayed, tins government will again

taken toward q suspension of amicable

Gen. KELToN,s REPORT.
The Adjutant General Talks of
Army Matters

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 3).-The annual
report of the adjutant general to the
major general commanding the army.
was made public to-day. The report
shows that marked decrease in the
number of prisoners in confinement has
taken place during the past year. and it
is shown that the decrease III the num-
Der received is about an even rate with
the decrease of the number OF
desertons in the army. At the
beginning Of the year there were
4Sl persons in confinement; the
number received during the year was
245 and the number lost was 43S, leaving
37S in confinement June 30, 1891. The
various industries In the prison and the
improvements about the prison and the
post of Fort Leavenworth have been
carried on with customary diligence,
and there does not appear to have been
any lack of occupation for prisoners.
The amount realized for the prison
fund for labor of prisoners and sales of
miscellaneous material was 81, 1898, all
of which turned into the United States
treasury.
of prisoners have been subjects of spe-
cial attention, and the indications are
that good results will follow the faith
full efforts o; officers vino have charge
of the departments. No deaths have
occurred IN the past two years either
among the guards or among the pris-
onerS, a fact that speaks we'll Of the
sanitary condition of the prison and
the vigilance aud skill of the prison
surgeon.
Gen. Kelton makes the following rec
concentrations: That an annual apprO-
pration of 100000 be made for gym
nasiumS for permanent posts. That
suitable buildings be provided for the
post canteenS and amusement rooms.
That the maximum age for the enlist
ment of men be reduced from thirty-fve
to thirty years. and that the length OF
service of private soldiers be limited to
fifteen years, retaining only nOn-cOm-
missiOned officers until retired. That
captains of artillery and infantry oil the
march and in the field be mounted by
the QuartermaSter's department. That
bounty be given to men or discharge
after ten and fifteen years faithful and
efficient service. This would require
1852, 425 annually for the next five years.
In conclusion, he says il is reasonable
to believe that il the recommendations
submitted receive favorable action such
coutentment will prevail in the army as
will surely go far to counteract the
causes and blot out the odious oifense
of desertion, which so much reduces its
efficiency. adds enormously to the eX-
pense of recruiting and is such a drain
upon the political power OF the country,
as shown by the fact of $4,000 men at
large disenfranchised, and S23.000,0O0
lost TO the treasury during the past

are few who have been held IN line by
the "MichiganiZing" scare. But they
are in no longer. They denounce i'll
bitter terms the Infamous methods that
have been reSorted to to deceive them
as to the feeling of the liberal Republi-
cans in other parts of the state, and
they say now without hesitation that
they will not only vote for the liberal
candidate tor the legislature but for
Gov. Boies and the entire state ticket.
There are also many other Republicans
here who condemn this method of cam
paigning, and who will rebuke its au-
thors in the only way it can be rebuked
by voting the Democratic ticket.
Judge Waterman'S statement has COM
pIetely demOraliZed the Republican
managers, and left them without even
the hope of success.
Further evidence of the purpose Of
Candidate Wheeler to buy his election
came into the hands of the Democratic
state committee to-day in the shape of
a circular bearing his own signature.
This circular is addressed to leading
Republican in county In Central Iowa,
and something similar has probably
been sent to every other county In the
state. 1t directs the recipient thereof,
in every case where possible, to hire
The circular naively adds that this will
be good way to keep those fellows in
line.
Upon the circular In possession of the
Democratic committee is written with
pen and ink the guarantee of the person
receiving it that all expenses Incurred
in carrying out its directions Will be
paid. With this satisfying statement
appended, 1t was sent to township
committeeman of that county. The in
quiry naturally arises, who, if not
Farmer Wheeler, is expected to pay
these bills?
Another circular issued by Chairman
Mack contains many directions for III
timidating voters at the polls. 1t directs
his henchmen to watch carefully and
prevent any scratches on any part of
the ticket, especially on the legislative
candidates and on the head OF the
ticket. 1t is clearly the purpose of the
machine to prevent as far as possible
the exercise of q free and fair ballot by
the voters of Iowa next Tuesday. 1t is
fortunate that their schemes have been
discovered, as it will place the Demo
Gratis on their guard and enable them to
defeat these efforts at fraud and intim-
idation.
The latest candidate on the Repub-
lican ticket TO get badly scared IS Frank
T. Campbell, the nominee for railway
commissioner. Until recently this gen
tleman congratulated himself that his
election would be comparatively easy,
but during the past few days he has
materially changed his views. l
evidences Of the Democratic landslide
have become so strong that he has felt
compelled to go out and personally so
licit Democrats to vote for him. The
encouragement he has received, how
ever, has not been fiattering. He will
be defeated along with his associates on
