BuZzARD's BAY, Mass. Sept 2s.-Capt. +. D.
Allen, OF Frankfort, Ind. called ON Grover
Cleveland yesterday aud had a long conference
with the expresident. He expressed satisfac-
ton with the letter of acceptance. barring one

in the paragraph relating to the pensioning of
soldiers. He went further and requested Cleve-
land To explain more fully his position towards
the soldiers and aid in bringing out the soldier
vote for the Democratic ticket all over the land.
Cleveland told him he believed in peusionfng
every soldier who received so much a scratch
in the war. and went over the ground in detail
with the Indiana committeeman. Capt Allen
came away highly elated with his call, gratified
with the reception and confident that his pre-

the Democrats were just now in favor OF the
veterans, and would continue to be until the
Sth OF November.
There were loud calls for Depew. and the
great spellbinder came TO the front. He said he
did not come here tonight to make speech, but
for the purpose OF convincing the skep;ical
Democratic newspapers that there was harmony
in the Republican party. Said he:
Brothers Miller, Platt and | got on opposite
sides of the fence at Minneapolis, but we're as
frsky as lambs in the same lot. The trouble
with our Democratic brothers is that the figures
they make they always make in advance and on
the wrong side They are always trying to prove
that the country Is going to the eternal bow
vows In hot haste especially If the Republicans
are in power. Figures will lie when a liar
makes them.
Mr.. Depew euiogized the Republican party
and paid a glowing tribute to President Harri-
son. Resolutions were adopted declaring the
pride o; New York Republicans in their record
and confidence in the success OF their party, and
extoiiing the achievements OF the national ad-
miniStration.

Mugwump Clements Parkland Meeting

TACOMA, Sept 2S.-lSpeciall - Nelson Ben
netts two dozen Mugwumps are having hard
time of it. When the Democrats are not guying
them. or "sicking" them on Pierce county Re-
publicans in the hope OF demoralzing the party,
some good Republican takes Them in hand.
Just now the laugh is on Presi sident Ii. c. Gem
ent OF the Bennett Mugwump Club. 1t appears
Mr.. Clement did not have "double loaded" space
enough in the Ledger TO praise the Mugwump
cause, so be was called out to Parkland to talk
at little gathering of voters. J. H. yesterday
was sent along to undoe the Mugwump hereses
at any rate, that is the suppo,ition. although
Mr. Clements friends say Mr.. Yesterdays pres
ence at the meeting was solicited by Mr.. Glenn
ent But no matter, Mr.. yesterday was on hand
with Mr.. Clement. The speaking was to con-
tinue until the next train for Tacoma arrived
1t was due in an hour and twenty minutes after
Mr. Clement and Mr.. yesterday arrived at Park
land.
The preliminaries went along smoothly. Mr..
yesterday being put up first to speak for twenty
minutes. He spoke twenty, forty. sixty min
utes, and Mr.. Clement began to get anxious.
He had a collection of choice Mugwump ideas
to unburden himself. Still, Mr. Easterday held
the strings. and doled out true Republican doc
trine. Indeed, he did not stop speaking until
the train for Tacoma began 20 rumble in the
distance
Apologies were attempted by Mr. Easterday
as the locomotive whistle blew and the bell
rang, and then followed general scramble of
the visitors for the train. The next time Mr..
Clement wishes to unburden himself of Mug
wump doctrine at Parkland, he 10 advised to see
that no Republicans ere along.

the Democratic state headquarters managers.
Mr.. Turner says there are only ten or a dozen
Peoples party workers in Pacific county. so
therefore they do not cut any figure in politics.
The principal fight this fall in Pacific county,
he says, Will be on the removal of the county
seat from Oysterviile TO South Bend. Pacific
county gave Congressman Wilson 247 majority,
Mr. Turner says, out OF about l,0o0 votes cast
Notwithstanding this Mr. Turner advances ali
sorts of arguments TO show that the Democrats
will have majority in the county this fall. He
expects the total vote in the county to reach
I,5yo this year.

this cannot be accomplished, as the People 8

CoLHAx. Sept. 2S.-tSpecial.l- IA small cyclone
struck the Palouse country today--not a real cy-
clone, OF course. but political one. The dis
turbance grew out of the report that C. W. War
ner, Tor many years one of the leading Demo-
cratic politicians aud ofce-seekers of the state,
had bolted his party and joined the Populists.
Mr.. Warner has been disappointed ever since
the state convention, at which he failed OF nom-
ination for governor, aud he suikcd till last
night Peoples rally was held then, addressed
by Paul Vandervoort, and Mr.. Warner attended.
After the meeting adjourned the ex-chicf walked
boldly up to J. b. Johnson, manager of the Peo-
pies camnaign in this county, and said: swell,
Johnson, indorse every word that VandeYvoors
uttered, and am in perfect accord with the prin-
ciples expressed in the Omaha platform Inter.

whether he would support any part OF the DEM

ment to Mr. Johnson,
