WASHINGTON, ID. O., Sept. D. J
Hon. A. Nj. Jones of Illinois, better known
as "Long jones'" is at the Arlington. ''The
Peck report did it," he said this morning.
when saw that report l said, 1T is fn-
ished; the democratic party Is done for
Commissioner Peck was undoubtedly the
instrument of shrewd democratic politicians,
who have no sympathy with their party this
year. The democratic party can't survive
MIR. Pcck's blow.
president Harrison is the greatest leader
since Abraham Lincoln. In Illinois the
democrats have made a great howl about
carrying the state aud sent out Il band TO
sound the horns and beat the drums. I'll
tell you now that Is not the way to carry
Illinois. The effect of the campaign thus
far has been to frighten the average republi-
can voter almost out of his wits. and
the result Is there will be no stay
at-homes, no factions, but everything
will be united in the republican party and
we shall have greater victory than other
wise.
'free trade will lose the democrats thous-
ands of votes in all parts of the country. The
people are just waking up to the cold -bloodeu
character of the democratic plank IL IS
nothing short OF free trade. Manufacturers,
bankers, farmers and iaborers are all fright
ened and are asking are we prepared to
have the business of tho country overturned

wisconsin is certain to give a repu blican
majority for the presidential and state

lieve we will lose man on our state ticket.
There has been good deal of talk about tho
German Lutheran vote of Wiscon-
sin going with the democrats this
fall on local issues and l was prepared
for few cases where republicans
were inclined to vote the democratic ticket,
but to my surprise, did not meet in all my
travels over the state single former repub-
lican who is not still republican, ana i did
meet some few democrats among business
men who will vote for President Harrison,
believing ne has given good administration
to the business interests OF the country, and
that there Is no reason for change.
II think that this is strong point in
President Harrison's favor and an advant-
age which he did not enjoy in the last cam
paign. l find that business men generally

Secretary Rusk expects to remain here
until short time before election, and will
forces for election day.
They Remember CIevelnnd's Vetoes.
The soldiers are evidently taking a lively
interest IN the record ex President Cleveland
made in connection with pension legislation.
The congressional and national republican
committees are daily receiving scores of let
ters from veterans in Indiana and the west
asking for copies of his brutal vetoes with
the names Of their comrades so unjustly
treated. Most of the letters come from the
soldiers, many of them democrats, and almost
universally the sentiment is one of intense
feeling at the conspicuous hatred ever aud
always manifested by Cleveland toward the
union soldier. Several editions of these
vetoes have already been mailed to the SOL
diers in the Il rth and west.
