A representative of the Associated
Press had an interview with Mr.. Will

election in the state of Maine, he said
ne did not consider the Republican yio-
tory as a pronounced criticism of the

ing. to Mr.. Wilson, some of the Demo-
Gratis of Maine are temporarily angered

ton prevents that state from being an

Mr. Wilson decidedly stated that
President Cleveland had no thoughts
tof again being a candidate for the

SHORT In HER ACCOUNTS.
Grubb Creates COnsternatiou
Among the Ladies of the G. A. r..

| Pittsburg, Pa, Sept. 14.-By an Off
cial announcement today, Mrs. Annie
iE. Grub, of Camden, N. j., past ma
jtional treasurer of the ladies Of the
iG, A. r. is charged with misappropri-
ating the funds of that organization.
This statement in the ladies' meeting
today created a sensation. The pro-
lceedings of the convention were secret.
One of the ladies, who is in high stand
ing makes the statement that Mrs.
Grubb has defaulted to the amount of
$500, and suit has been brought against
her bondsmen to recover. Mrs Grubb,
lShe says, was reelected to the Office she
held and had the confidence of the la
dies to such an extent that the audit
ors considered it only necessary to
make a cursory report. How long the
shortage has existed is not stated, but
at the Washington encampment the
books were thought to be correct and
she was reelected. At indianapolis, in
1893, when a new treasurer was elect
ed, Mrs. Grub failed to turn over some
lof the books and ,investiga ton then dis
closed the discrepancy.
When Mrs. Carrie V. Sheriff, who
was president in 1892, learned of the
fact, she, together with Attorney John
Wander Slice, of Philadelphia, conferred
with Mrs. Grub in Camden, and suit
was filed through Voorhees, & Co, of
Camden. The case will come to trial
next month. 1t appears nothing of this
was known to the members of the order
until today.
In the very warm discussion, Mrs
Margaret A. Stevens. of Camden, a
member of the council of administra-
ition, and Laura McNair, who was the
first national president, made urgent ap-
lpeals in behalf of Mrs Grub. and sug-
lgested the ladies donate enough to
make up the deficiency, hoping to keep
the scandal quiet. Others, however,
bitterly denounced the ex-treasurer, and
insisted the law take its course. The
majority voted in favor of prosecution,
and the end is not yet.
The excuse made for Mrs. Grub by
her friends is that when she used the
money it was to help her husband out
Iof financial straits, and she could not
return it when called nnnn

DOESN'T WAVE A RED FLAG.
Debs Insists That He Believes in
Law and Order.

Law and Order.
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept 14.-One of
the largest and most intelligent audi
ences that has ever gathered in the
opera house assembled here tonight to
hear e. V. Debs discourse for two hours
on the cause of the great sympathetic
strike. Debs said he was opposed to
which labor has to defend itself against
the entertainments of capital. He
claimed the Pullman employees were
unjustly treated by the company, and
that he admired them for striking. If
he had been an employee, he would
have struck regardless of consequences.
Debs contended that the sympathy
strike was enforced by the General
Managers association offering to make
the fight for the Pullman company.
The strike was won five days after it
was inaugurated, and then the in
junction was issued against the lead
ers and they were enjoined from d.
recting their forces. He advocated
unification of all branches of labor
and claimed class brotherhoods had
never won strikes themselves. The
Chicago strike was not defeated be-
cause it had advanced the cause of
labor fifty years.
Il believe in law and ORDER" said
he, land am not a disciple of the red
flag of anarchy
