NO DEAL WITH CROKER.
Denial by Ex-Governor Stone, Who Also
Defines Democracy.


CHICAGO, Dec. Is. - Ex-G Governor
William j. Stone of Missouri was in
Chicago in consultation with Demo-
cratic leaders and left later for New
York. In an interview he denied he
had any deal with Croker. He further
said:

Piles of the Democratic party, SO clearly
md accurately enunciated in the Obi
rago platform of 1896, emanates only
from those whose wish is father to the
thought. Among those of us who sup
ported that platform, that is among the
loyal Democrats of the country, all such
talk is regarded as absurd, which it is.
The Democratic party of the United
States is composed of those who sup
ported Mr. Bryan and who still stand
ON the platform of the party. There
are no other kind of Democrats.

He Defended His Administ alton at
Chickamauga.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Gen Brooke
was the only witness examined by the
war investigating commission and his
testimony was exclusively defense Of
his own administration at Chicka-
manga. The water supply was adequate
to the needs of the soldiers, he asserted.
The camps of the regiments and COM
panies were all admirably selected, he
believed, and the hospital arrange
ments, with single exception were all
that oxper ence and surgical wisdom
could demand.
This one exception was the selection
of the second hospital camp which was
made by his chief surgeon against his
personal judgment. This official CDR.
Hartsuff) had been so urgent in his re-
quest to have it located where it was
finally placed that he, General Brooke,
ultimately acquiesced.
