DsPEw REPLIES TO CLEVELAND.
He Doesn't Seem to Think That the
Money Is All on One Side.


Money Is All on One Side.
JAMESTOWN, n. Y, Nov. 3-In his speech
yesterday afternoon before an audience of
9, 500 people, in the jamestown wigwam,
Chauncey NJ. Depew took up the "boUdle"
issue raised by Grover Cleveland Tuesday
night. Depew commenced by saying that
Cleveland's speech had been very carefully
prepared. and in respect to preciseness and
clearness of utterance it was the best speech
Cleveland had delivered this campaign. 1t
was meant to be the final appeal to the vot-
ers of this country to support the Demo
cratic ticket. But it said not word-ex-
cept incidentally-about any Of the issues
of the campaign.
As to the Doodle" Issue.
In place of these issues the ex-president
raised q new one-that the Republicans
were trying to corrupt the voters and buy
the presidency with a big corruption fund
Depew then said: 1.-The Democrats haven't
raised a cent; they are not going to spend
cent, according to Mr.. Cleveland. They
did not spend any money last year when
Mr.. Flower ran for governor. There are
half a dozen men in both parties who know
precisely how much each party has raised
to carry this campaign. There were
probably six men sitting back of Mr.
Cleveland last night who knew to within
81 900 how much money the Republicans
and Dtmocrats each have in their treasury
They know that the Democrats this year
have at least 30 per cent. more money than
the Republicans.
Sources of Democratic Sinews.
"The Democrats have $1,000, 600 of
salaries to assess in the city of New York
alone, and several millions more throughout
the state. 1t is the greatest campaign con-
tributing source in the country and more
productive of revenue than all the federal
patronage. Money is required to run cam
paigns to hire halls, circulate literature,
employ bands, etc, and want to say that
in whatever channels the Republicans
spend money for campaign work the Dem
ocrats are ready to spend money in the
same channels. In view OF these facts it
looks like great confession of weakness
for Mr.. Cleveland to turn his back on all
the issues for which he has been fighting
and bring up the charge of corruption at
this late hour. The Republicans will not
be hurt by it. They will win this cam
paign, not through corruption, but through
the honest votes of the intelligent farmer
and mechanic, honestly cast and honestly
