1892 - Why He VIII Not %
Do So.

New York, OCT. 1.-Don M. Dickinson,
chairman OF the National democratic cam
paign committee. has received copies of
the following statement and correspond
ence through through Hon. Bluford Wilson,
solicitor of the treasury under grant:
To the pablo: The truth Of the state
ment made by myself and others. that
Judge Gresham said he intended to vote for
Cleveland at tho ensuing election, has been
persistently denied not only by the repnb-
lican press, but by the national republican
committee and upon the stump. 1t Ia due
Judge Gresham and friends that the truth
be known and therefore take the RESPONSE
bility of giving to the public his letter OF
Dot. 27. addressed 80 me-
(Signed,) BLuFoRD WILSON,
10 Hon. Bluford Wilson, Springfield, ILL.,,
Dear Major: l have your letter of the 2lst
inst. did tell You at Springfield that after
mature reflection had determined to vote
for Cleveland this fall, because ! agree in
| the main with his views on the tariff, and
did not believe in the principles embodied
| in the Mckinley bill. adhere to that de-
termination and have said nothing indicat-
| ing change of purpose. 1t is not true that,
dent was asked to appoint me
to any office. 1t is not true that
requested any one to do anything to OBJ
tain the republican nomination this year.
1t ia not true that voted for Cleveland in
1888. l have voted the republican ticket
every presidential election since the party
was organized, except in 1864, when was
not able to go the polls.
| The republicans were pledged to the re-
peal of the war tariff long before 1888, and
during the cam paign that year the pledge
was renewed with emphasis again and
again. Instead of keeping the pledge, the
Mckinley bill was passed imposing still
higher duties. 1t was passed in the interest
of the favored GLASSES and not for the bene-
fit of the whole people. 1t neither enhanced
the price of farm products nor benefited
labor. Wages are, and ever will be, regu-
! lated by supply and demand. Duties are
imposed upon some articles to destroy COM
petition and foster trusts and monopolies
I think you will agree with me that this
was an abandonment OF the doctrine OF
moderate incidental protection. Ihe farlfl
is now the most i'm oftant question before
the people and whatever others may do
shall exercise the right of individual judg-
ment and vote according to nay own con-
victions. ! think with you that a republl-
can can vote for Cleveland without joining
the democratic party. How | shall vote III
the future will depend upon the questions
at issue. Very t!uly yours,
signed. w. @. GRESHAM.

himself sick by swallowing tobacco while
hanging by the thumbs. Notwithstanding
that Col. Streator pointed out the enor-
nifty of Streator's otfense to him Ill a
fatherly manner, Iams was defiant and
continued SO. Chief Deputy Sheriff Gray

ton in Homestead before the troops were.
called out. certified copy of the COVER
nor's order calling out the troops was put
in evidence and the court took a recess.

here this evening that fierce forest fires are
raging in the mountains from Ohio 10
Delsney's Cave, a distance of twenty miles.
In many cases stock perished and the range
and volume of the fire is now 80 great as to
threaten the destruction of people on
isolated farms. Fires are now burning
within mile of the Jumonyiils Soldiers
Orphans school, and only heavy rainfall
will save the place from destruction before
morning. Large gangs OF men are out
fighting the fire, but theyonn do little. to
prevent its spread. the country being liter

Boosting for His Boss.

PIrTsBURa, Nov. 1.-Postmaster General
Wansmaker was in the city to-day en- route
to Indianapolis, going, as he said. "to stir
up n little enthusiasm." He will spend a
week making a tour of the principal cities
of the state. Speaking of prospects, he
said: II say it in all candor that think the
prospects for republican victory next
tuesday are very bright. 1t is my firm
conviction that President Harrison will be
re- elected. also believe New York will
give him larger majority than it did in
1888 think Indiana is all right. Con-
neoticut, hitherto regarded as doubtful
state, think will give fair. republican
majority"

Harrison would carry every northern state.

extent of excepting Nevada. The peoples
party may carry that state, bus Harrison
will carry all ths rest of the north. The

Quay, who suppianted Carter.

New YORK. Nov. 1.-Senator Quay had a
conference this morning with the repub-
lican leaders and when he was asked after
wards to give his view of the situation, he
said: II have gone carefully through the
details of the labor of the gentlemen man
aging the republican campaign up to the
present time, and canvassed with them the
proposition for the future. Their admins
tration has been faultless and the corre-
spondence satisfies mo that the sentiment
of the country is favorable to the continu-
anoe of republican rule. Harli ison will be
re elected. Ny belief is that he will carry
new York, Indiana and Connecticut. Ex-
listing conditions are such that the electoral
vote of New York will elect him without
Indiana and Connecticut. Indiana and
Connecticut will elect him without New
York.
