He has Always Been a Republican, but the
Mckinley Bill and the Force Bill Did
Their Work.
NEW YORK, October IA letter re-
ceived at Democratic National Headqu uar-
ters Yesterday caused much rejoicing.
Jimmie Oliver said there was Joy over an
other sinner who had repented. 1t was
letter from a lifelong Republican, u. A.
r. veteran and man who is now hold.ng
Office. He is William Green, OF Glovers-
vile, n. Y, and he is serving his second
term as District Attorney of Fulton county.
He was elected to that position as Repuo-
lican. He served with credit during the
war and is conspicuous in Grand Army or
ganizations IN this State.
The leaders at Democratic headquarters
were iubilant over the letter. They think
it viii have great influence among the
veterans whom the Republicans have al
ways looked upon as their own. The letter
was brought to headquarters by Secretary
T. F. Reed, of the Veterans Tarin he
form League, by whom 1t was received.
1t says in part:
''In reply to your favor OF recent date, |
would state that before its receipt L mad

1.-The 'penubliceR politicians seek to put
US veterans in most hui 'latlng posltion.
They assume, and scarcely taAe ne trouble
to spread decent veil over the aSsuup-
tion, that they can bribe us with pensiSas.
Now, surely no self-respecting veteran can
accept pension as gift. but only as a
just right, amply earned. The whole
people, irrespective Of party. are willing
to deal not only justly, but generously with
the veterans, and the special championship
arrogated by Republican politicians Is
transparent fraud.
Indeed, the increased cost Of living
which the Mckinley tariff imposes rests
with special severity upon the shoulders OF
our comrades, the vast majority OF whom
are poor men with small and constantly de-
creasing ability to earn a livelihood.
1T is a concise but perfectly correct
characterization of the whole pension sys-
tenn, that it was devised and moulded by
claim agents primarily in their own in
terests and enacted by politicians to catch

farmers from all over the county. A large
Mr.. Wilson made one Of his
able and characteristic speeches
on tariff reform and exposed the frauds Of
a protective system. he also discussed
the Lodge bill and other important issues
Of the campaign. His logical argument
stood out in bold contrast to the speak
easy, fiimsy arguments of the Republican
campaign speakers. He was greatly ap-
Dlauded at every telling point he made
upon the Republican administration, and
mis- argument upon the tariff was unan-
swerable.
At the close Of Mr.. Wilson's speech,
which lasted for two hours, the audience
called for Hon. George r. Vending, a

SPECIAL Telegram to the REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 7.-Senator
Faulkner passed through Washington TO-
day, on his way home from New York. He
was cheerful and confident. Speaking of
West Virginia, he said: 1.-THE Repu blicans
are making a great campaign, and so far as
l can see have left nothing undone that
would contribute to their success. Money
has been and is being lavishly used
but we are meeting every advance with an
organization that seems to be perfect. II
will be impossible for our antagonists TO
imperil single vote between now and No
vemberS. We are not mapping as we were
in 1888 and you may be sure that West Vir-
ginia cannot be bought, bribed nor stolen
this time. Personally have had busy
time. have made twenty-six speeches al
ready and am down on the programme for
twenty-five more. There is every indica-
ton of a close contest but / feel sure we
shall wiu."
OF the general outlook, he said: 'If the
election were to take place tomorrow,
Cleveland would be successful beyond our
highest hopes. He would carry New York
triumphantly. How things will look after
the Republicans begin to spend money, no
one can guess. Folks who are figuring on
Democratic discord in New York are
grievously in error, for all symptoms OF
disaffection have disappeared. Tammany
knows il is on trial before the country. the
test being loyalty to Cleveland, and Tam
many is standing right up to the rack.
Personal considerations no longer disturb
and there is absolute unamity in behalf Of
the ticket"
