To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
The special to the Cincinnati Enquirer
Of Oct. 20. purportng to come from Bluff
ton. Ind, involving the Standard Oil Com
pany and the Rowland & Zeigler Oil Com
pany in the nefarious work Of coercing
their employees to vote for William McKin-
ley, is statement as wide of the truth
and as contradictory Of all facts in the
case as it is possible for language to make
IL. We are personally acquainted with the
parties accused of the nefarious business
and we affirm that neither Of the men
whose names are mentioned, nor companies
to which they belong. have in the slightest
degree dishonored themselves, laid them
selves liable to the penalty of the law, or
for a moment thought of so dishonoring
their fellow-citizens and employees to
think for a moment that William Mckinley
would, be elected by the dastardly means
OF coercion. We know hundreds of the oil
men, and are personally acquainted with
Messrs. Page. ODay and Zeigler whose
names are mentioned I'm this scurrilous
unmanly and untruthful article and know
them to be men who are actuated by high
principles in all their dealings with their
employees. Moreover, We know that these
employees, some OF them, have when the
question has been raised. voluntarily said
that no such thing as coercion has ever
been implied or limited at under any cir
cumstances by the men whose names are
untruthfully associated for such low work

way, and they stand ready to make the
offer good at any future time. / have
known these men. some of them having
always voted the Democratic ticket; they
see that their own interests are imperiled
by the success of tho Chicago Platform
and all they have said to their employees

trous results that must inevitably follow

the grand jury and charge Mr.. Hanna with
offering to pay S40, 600 for the electoral vote
of Texas, but the charge was so ridiculous
that 1t obtained no credence except among
the rabid Popocrats. who have been fear
full the Republican fusion ticket might be
successful next Tuesday

BISHOP GILBERT's SERMON.
Observance of All Saints Day al
Christ Church.

Right Rev Mahlon n. Gilbert, ID. d.,
bishop coadjutor of Minnesota, preached
Yesterday morning and evening at Christ
Church. 1t was All Saints day. and the
morning sermon was from an appropriate
text found in Rev., vii. 80: After that
beheld and 10, a great multitude which no
man could number He spoke of the fact
that the church stood looking forward to
the condition of the next world and joining
in the worship of the redeemed until the
worshipers were filled with the triumphs or
faith rather than by the discouragementS
of this life. 1t was a day, he said, When
people were led especially to commemorate
the lives and works of those faithful ones
of the past who have finished their course
in faith but whose names are not known
in history. 1t was day when each FAMILY
recalls those who have gone out into the
mysteries of the next world, and dwells up
on their memories and so ii becomes a sort
of a family reunion day. Inspiration came
from the contemplation of those who had
gone and with the thought that they had
reached the goal came the hope that those
living might do likewise. The last refer
ence of the speaker was to the fact that
the church was concentrating the great
article of faith-the communion of saints,
the fellowship of the faithful. The thought
was emphasized that those who had passed
on and those who were behind all belonged
TO one household and stood in close rela-
tionship with one another in the practice
of holy religion

At the Third Christian Church.

Mr.. Jenkins. pastor of the Third Christian
Church, spoke yesterday morning on the
text, "And the common people heard him
gladly The trend of the sermon was OPP
posed to the idea that some people enter
tain that the government should legislate
for certain classes of people. He held that
consideration for one another and the desire
to better the condition Of those less favored
could be brought about only by following
the teachings of Christ. and by being gov
erned and influenced by his spirit. He did
not believe that the remedies proposed by
many politicians would make people more
considerable for those in their employ. The
Socialist wants to try his own remedy. The
single-tax advocate clamorS for a trial of
his one idea and declares that IL will cure
all ills. The speaker described the common
people as they were assembled at Jerusa-
lem to listen to the teachings of Christ. He
did not refer to any party in speaking or
the election but said he had confidence
that the people would decide the matter
correctly next Tuesday. He said he be-
lieved Gods power ruled and that His
power would solve the questions.
