BISHOP WIGGER
CONDEMNS IRELAND,
Says He Is an Extremist
and Alar1nist.
That His Statements Are Not
Based on Facts.

Bishop Wigger of the Newark On, J.
diocese has condemned and deprecated
the course Of Archbishop Ireland in
giving the public a letter on the cam
paign issues of the day calculated to
arouse the passions of men that have
Lain dormant since the closing days OF
the war. Bishop Wigger says:
According to Archbishop Ireland,
the Chicago platform is a declaration
OF secession, and the Chicago nominees
are leaders i'll a movement TO disrupt
this glorious Union. That is absolutely
not true. I dare say, and l believe, that
the men who framed the Chicago plat
form and the men fighting for victory
under Its standard are as good men, as
pure patriots, as Archbishop Ireland. 1
am convinced Of the absolute honesty
Ii sincerity of the Democratic leaders,
and | am convinced that no n thought
OF secession or rebellion. AS honest men
they are entitled to battle for the prin-
oiples they believe will bring prosperity
to their country, and therefore to their
c~ountrymen, and Neither Archbishop
lrelaad nor any other man has "a right to
Impute to them motives of secession
and rebellion. | tell you secession is
dead in this country.
Rebellion will nevermore lift it's
head in America. Both had their dav.
Both were fought and conquered by the
splitting of some of the bravest blood
the world had ever seen. Never again
will the people of this grand republic,
whether they reside north, south, east
or west, tolerate for one moment
thoughts of ~disloyalty, and when Arch.
bishop Ireland suggests such a thing he
does incalculable injury to those who l
am sure he wants to befriend, His talk
OF rebellion is bound to bear fruit, and
it will not be a fruit to gather of which
will give either pleasure or profit to the
citizens of this country. In every CON-
munity, large OF small, there are Ger.
tain spirits who can be led into any ex-
cess by the rash words Of any man whose
position is high.
"This is why l deprecate the words
Of Archbishop Ireland. He is an ardent
Republican, working for the cause of
AIS paity, Dul 1 DGl16F0 u0 mas gone Iar-
fher-yes, a great deal farther-than
the circumstances warrant or than be-
comes a Christian gentleman. His posi-
tion is a dignifed one; it is all exalted
one, and his words, uttered perhaps in
a thoughtless moment, and surely with
out warrant, may possibly lead some
poor soul to deeds that the whole ooun-
try will shudder at. Not secession, not
rebellion-those are dead-but the mis-
guided spirits, inf1amed by words utter
ed by lips which they have looked up
to. are capable Of hurting, not the coun- |
try, but themselves.
"As for the rest of Archbishop Ire. |
letter, I don't want to discuss it.
l said before, he is an extremist and |
IN alarmist, and his whole letter is on
these lines. I, IL my capacity as a citi-
zen of the glorious American republic,
have faith in it's stability and future.
| condemn the ut%terances of men, no
what their station, calculated to
endanger these, and Archbishop Ireland |
has sowed & harvest that he may dread
10 see reaped.'

More Worms Turn.

Dugald Crawford, a millionaire dry
goods merchant of st. Louis, has been
arrested on a charge of attempting to
influence an elector in giving his vote
and attempting to hinder and prevent a
qualified voter from freely exercising
the right of suffrage. MI. Crawford re-
Gently discharged IL employees because
they declared their intention to vote for
Bryan. 1t is claimed that he has since
admitted that the men were dismissed
because of their political convictions
and acknowledged that be had made a
mistake. The discharged men were in
vited to return to work, but only three
did SO.
Judge Murphy fixed MI. Crawford's
bond at 81, 900, and he was released.
The penalty, in the event of conviction.
is from two to five years in the peniten-
tiary.
This may be a slight warning to 9TH

OPPOSED TO TRUSTS.
MI. Bryan, as Chief Executive, Would
Drive Them Out of Existence,

Mr. Bryan, as Chief Executive, Would
Drive Them Out of Existence.
My friends, in solar as Republicans
and former Democrats have criticised
my election as a menace to law and Or
der l want to say to you that their
fear is not that as an executive / will
be lax in the enforcementof law. Their
fear is that as an executive I would not
respect persons.
Who is it that is so afraid that law
will not be enforced? Those who are
most fearful that there will he a lax en-
forcement OF the law are the very per.
sons who would suffer most if the laws
were enforced.
Those persons who are afraid that
law will be violated with IMMUNITY are
the ones who have violated law with
IMMUNITY.
Ii MI. Harrison wants to raise the
question OF the survival Of our institu-
tions, l will tell him that the great
trusts of this country that are support
ing the Republican ticket are the great
est menace to u government.
The Coal trust sends it's representative
to sit by every Preside and exacts trib-
ute from those who need warmth. The
trust sends its representative to collect
a tribute from those who use light.
The trusts of this country, with their
representatives, are collecting tribute
from the people, and when we protest
against it they call us disturbers of the
peace and anarchists.
! am opposed to trusts. As an execu-
tive I shall use what power I have to
drive every trust out of existence.
If present laws are not sufficient to
meet this evil. !, il elected, will recon-
mend such laws as will.
If the constitution Of the United
States is SO construed as to prevent any
interference with the operations Of the
trust. l shall recommend such amend
ment to the constitution as will permit
the punishment Of these men.
Ny friends, there is a great contest
in this country which must be settled,
and that is whether a few men banded
together are more powerful than all the
people.
And while / do not want to array
class against class, ] an willing to ar
ray all the people who suffer from the
operations Of these trusts against the
few people who operate the trusts.

HANNA NEEDS
+ MORE MONEY.
Puts on the Screws For
Another Assessment.
Banks Must Produce $2,OOO,'
900 More.

Mark Hanna believes, of course, il
the might Of money, and he thinks that
il be only spends enough Of it McKin,
ley will get enough electoral votes tc
make him the next president of the
United States. 1t has already cost mil
lions to carry out the gigantic bluff of
the Cleveland ironmaster that the trusts
and s~yndicates are on top in this present
contest. but there are more millions to
be had. and they are being called for.
The national banks are interested
equally with all the other corporate
monopolies of the country in seeing the
mortgaged Republican candidate Install
cd in the White House, and Hanna has
not hesitated to let them know it-at
least those in the eastern states, where
he feels that he can defy even those who
sympathize with him, but who believe
that a dollar in hand is worth two to
be won through an election.
The national banks throughout the
New England and middle states have
just been notified by him that they

is estimated at fully So, 900, 900, which
can at this late stage of the campaign
be used for only one purpose outside of

is that Hanna, knowing that lie cannot

TRANSLATION.
FRIEDRIcHsRUH. Aug. "a, '96.
DEAR SR-I have received your favor
OF the list Of July Of this year.
l have always had a prediction for
bimetallism without, when being in
office, presuming to be infallible when
confronted by experts. I still believe to-
day. that it is desirable to strive for the
consent Of all the principal commercial
nations Of the world in the direction Of
bimetallism.
The United States are economically
freer in their movements than each and
every II of the European countries.
and if North America finds it compati.
BILE with its interests to set an independ.
emit pace, I believe that such a move
ment would be conducive influence to
the establishment Of an international
agreement.
Assuring you of my most distin.
gulshed estimation, I am your excel
lency's most obedient servant,
