comnandery of Ohio is holding receptions
every day and is entertaining thousands.
More than l. Geo of the states unique battle

yesterday was the competitive drill, ard
the base ball grounds were never 20
crowded as they were with people to see
this drill. The first knights to appear
were those of the Columbia commandery,
of Washington.

Political Tactics Sprung Against
President Cleveland
THE THIRD TERM RACKET
Secretary Lamont Accused of Wire
Pulling Methods
No Other Democratic Aspirant Sufficiently
Conspicuous to Attract the
r1asses

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, July. S.-A Washington
special 10 local paper says:
Not only is Mr.. Cleveland a candidate
for the third term, but indications are
not lacking that he is already engaged in
an aggressive canvass in this interest.
Secretary Lamont's tour among the west
ern army posts is in reality an election
eering device. 1t has been the custom OF
recent secretaries to investigate the con-
ditions at regular stations. and this Gus.
tom Lamont found specially adaptable to
his political designs.
If Mr.. Cleveland expected to be presi.
dent again he is enough of politician to
know that the achievement OF his posi-
tion will require the most skilful political
manipulation. 1t is Secretary Lamont's s
mission to get in touch with the Demo-
cratic sentiment throughout the west,
and to find out exactly what needs to be
done to conciliate western sentiment and
bring support to the third term scheme.
So far as the east is concerned. Mr..
Cleveland has no anxiety. He believes
that the issue OF sound money, which he
thinks he has created, will be sufficient
land and the Middle states, although he
understands the difficulties that will con-
front Eim in New York. But when he
was nominated in 1892 it was done by
delegates from the west and south, and
as to those sections he is most solicitous
now.
Mr.. Cleveland believes that the longer
the discussion Of candidates can be de-
ferred the better his chance will be. While
there is no other asplrdnt for the nomin-
alton sufficiently conspicuous to attract
to himself the support of the great masses
of the party, Mr.. Cleveland is confident
that the great amount of sentiment will
be toward him. Until the time of the
convention, with Republican congress,
Cleveland, as president, will be the GEN.
trail Democratic fignre, whether the lead
ers like it or not. On nin,, be thinks,
the eyes of the party must be TUNED
daily for guidance and instruction.
1t will not be necessary for him to
make any formal announcement of his
candidacy. The fact that he is willing to
accept the nomination is sufficient. and
his friends understand perfectly well that
a nomination will not be declined. The
throwing out of the vague hints that the
president is not seeking a third term.
linked to the persistent discouragement
Of other candidates SO as to leave the
party in demoralized and unce rtain con-

are the main features of the scheme
which the administration has entered

GIGANTIC SWINDLE
Forgery Scheme by Which Bankers and Me-

BUTTE, Mont, July S.-The prelimI-
nary trial of H. A. Sloane and William
McMahon today developed a gigantic
forgery scheme affecting bankers and
mel chants in nearly every large city in
the United States. The two men were
arrested several weeks ago when they
presented themselves at one of the banks
in this city and attempted to collect $S5
on contract" for an advertisement in
a publication called Laird's Illustrated
Gazetteer. The bank rejected the contract
as a forgery.
On the men were found hundreds of
similar contracts bearing the alleged sig-
natures of various merchants and mining
companies. How the men secured the
signatures of the merchants is unknown.
They have alleged advertisements of
firms in Chicago, st. Louis, Denver, Salt
Lake, Spokane, San Francisco. Helena
and many other cities and estimated tn
represent over $40. 900. When the men
we're first arrested a telegram was re-
ceived from New York signed "The Laird
company" stating that the men were
all right and that the company was re-
sponsible. Since then nothing has been
heard from there.

him would go to the convention from
every New England state. The same is
asserted of New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
and Secretary Lamont is expected to lay
the wires fer delegates in the west during
the trip he is now making at the public
expense.
Mr.. Cleveland is confident that by pur-
suing these tactics he will be able to con-
trol the Democratic convention, and by
the force of prestige and position. in the
face of Discrimination and division on
the part of the men who might otherwise
successfully contest his supremacy, to

A MULISH WOMAN
Goes to Jail in Preference to Producing Her
Daughter

Daughter
CHICAGO. July S.-Mrs. Lizzie Cot

to six months in Jail for contempt Of
court in refusing to disclose the wherea-
bouts Of her daughter, EFlorence. Mrs.
Cottier is the Washington stenographer
who in 1888, after placing her daughter
in hiding. told the Buffalo police that the
child had been drowned. Her husband,
Alonzo Cottier. wealthy Chicagoan, h ad
attempted during the hearing of the di-
vorce case, to regain possession of the
child, and Mrs. Cottier was ordered by
the court to tell where her daughter is
hidden. This she dramatically declared
she could not, no matter what the penal
ty, as she believed that the girl would be
injured should her father find her. Late
this afternoon Judge Paine granted an ap-
peal in the case ana Mrs. Cottier was re-
leased on bail pending decision.
