Mr. Campau was informed of Mr.. Hauna's
words.

said in explanation. II do not think used the
word 'bribes.' l certainly did say that Mr..

Wherever politicians gathered to-day the ter
rible Kuklux circular In the form OF Especial

uppermost topic of conversation among bust
ness and workingmen of all kinds. 1t was the
unanimous opinion that this circular repre-
sents the most devilish sentiments ever ex-
pressed by a National Chairman of any party.
Nothing like II Is recalled. Hitherto many have
looked upon Popocratic Chairman Jones as
mild person who knew nothing about running
national campaign. 1t has been declared all
along that Jones would not descend to the
depths of political infamy Of Bryan. Alt
geld. Tillman, and Debs To his lasting
disgrace, Jones has shown himself to be
OF the same stripe. Bryan advises work ingmen
to wear Mckinley buttons. and yet to vote for
Bryan. He suggests by this that he thinks
them the same sort of miscreants as Altgeld
and himself. Bryan deliberately misquotes tho
utterances of public men-the dead as we'll as

archy. Tillman continually attempts to array
the South against the North. Debs incites his
hearers to open riot and insurrection. All of
them, Jones, Bryan. Altgeld, Tillman, and Debs
are OF the same stripe. Never in the history Of
American politics have such men been In COM
mand In O political battle. Every man OF ma
tionai reputation who attended the Chicago
Convention has taken TO the woods, save these

honorable adversary. His crazy talk about
coercion was bad enough. but his last pronun-
ciamento calling upon workmen ITO hold up"
their employers. like SO many road agents,
reaches the climax Of the dastarily measures
inspired BY him and his fellow conspirators.
Chairman Hanna went at Jones to-day ham,
mer and tongs. He issued q statement declar-
ing that Jones's circular was the frat step 10
the direction Of melting riots and labor trou-
blcs and pittinR the workinRman and the en-
ployer in deadly hate one against the other.
He calls the circular "seditious bulletin"
and charges that men who will conniye to
destroy the peaceful relations existing between
capital aud labor are none too good to do even
worse" Now read this from Mr.. HannA's pen:
This circular furnishes most positive evil
dence that our opponents are becoming des-
perate. At once IL is an incentive to coercion,
to bribery, and bold attempt TO excite work
men against their EN- mployers. The workmen are
advised to coerce their employers into signing
a contract based upon considerations that have
no bearing whatever upon tho value of their
work.
1T is suggested that employers bribe their
workmen TO vote for Mckinley by promising
them higher wages or a continuance of their
present wages. In the event that the employers
Will not be coerced, then the employee Il to vote
for Bryan. not because he believes Bryan is the
best fitted Tor the Presidency or represents
principles that will advance the interests Of
the American people, but because his employer
may not deem 1t IL wise business policy to sign a
contract in the matter of wages. This is simply
melting tho workngman to exact hribe
before he will vote. 1t is not sug-
gested that he be governed by any prln-
cipe; considerations OF the great interests
OF the nation at large are to have no
weight with him. The ballot In his hands 10 to
