ALTGELD ATTACKS CLEVELAND
Ex-Gov. Altgeld was the principal
speaker at the Jeffersonian celebration
at Central Music Hall, Chicago, Tues s.
day night. Representative democrats
from all parts of the union occupied seats
on the stage. Mr.. AltgeId devoted his
time to comparison of Thomas j. fer
son and Grover Cleveland, very much
to the disadvantage of the latter. He
devoted much tims to the portrayal Of
Jefferson's part in the founding OF the
republic and as an advocate of human
rights and liberty. In concluding his
comment on the life of the third Presi-
dent, he said:
~. fersou entered public life wealthy
and served his country faithfully. He
returned from the presidency poor and
died in poverty. In the light Of more
recent events am impelled to declare,
'rhank God this great man retired from
office poor There was nothing to sui
ly his character, nothing to dim the
lustre of his star"
MIR. Altgeld then entered into Bit
ter arraignment of Cleveland, calling
him the destroyer of democracy" Of
the ex Presidents entrance into public
life he said:
.In 1868 Mr.. G. G. Torrance was the
democratic District Attorney OF Buffalo,
N. Y. A young man came to him and
asked to be appointed assistant, plead
ING that he was much in need. After
hearing his appeal, Mr.. G. G. Torrance
appointed him Assistant States Al
torney. Toward the. end OF the term
Mr.. G. G.. Torrance was candidate for
reelection and asked 20 be renominat-
sd by the democratic convention, when
he found to his astonisbment that the
Young man whom he had befriended
had undermined him and managed TO
get the nomination himself. The name
OF the young man was Grover Cleve-
land. This was his first effort in poll.
tics. 8 ID he here gave the world key
to lis character"
He said Cleveland early denonstrst'
ed his love of and obedience to the
corporations, and that while he was
mavor of Buffalo and governor Of New
| York the corporations were on morse
back and did not even take the trouble
to dismouut when entering his office. u
In the mean time he had secured q
reputation as a reformer, "by feeding
platitudes to the public while giving
plunder TO the syndicates.
Mr.. Altgeld claimed that Mr.. Cleve-
lands course 10 the White House was
governed altogether by the trusts and
syndicates. He said that while the
bond issues were being made 1.-THE coun-
try heard, with blush of shame, the
reports that some of the Wall street
stock spectators were carrying the
President of the United States on their
books, apparently as silent partner,
in some of their transactions, one spec
ulator frequently boasting that he had
set aside certain blocks of stock In
pending schemes for his friend Grover"
Mr.. Altgeld also charged that the
Venezuelan message, so far from being
dictated by patriotic and honest mo-
tive, was part of q stock-jobbing scheme
The proclamation, he said, which
threatened war had a tremendous effect
upon the value of stocks in Wall street

OPPOSES WAR WITH SPAIN


The fruit steamer Barnstsble, from
Cienfuegos, Cuba, has reached Boston,
having on board United States Cousul
McGarr.
On the way up the harbor Mr.. Nc
Carr was besieged by newspaper men
for information on the Cuban situa-
ton. He is quoted by the Globe as
follows:
"a declaration of war against Sp 10
by the United States would be a
grievous mistake.
''The situation in Cuba has been
most grossly, yes, criminally, exag-
gerated by irresponsible persons, for
the purpose of bringing on war be-
tween Spain and the United States.
"The people of Cienfuegos where |
was stationed, were profoundly grieved
and surprised at the idea of war he
tween Spain and the United States
when lett there. l don't know what
all this fuss means. Why, when 1 en-
barked for Boston last Friday morning
il was as quiet at Cienfuegos as it is in
the streets of Boston at the present
time.
II hardly believed my instructions
recalling me q week ago yesterday"
How many Americans are there in
Cienfuegos ?"
81 should say about $50 in ALL
MIR. McGarr was especially emphatic
on the point that Americans were in
10 danger at Cienfuegos. He id that,
ss far as he was able to learn, the rebels
about Cienfuegos numbered about 1000.
"How about reconcentradoes ?'
"They number between 1000 and
100 in Cienfuegos," said Mr.. McGarr.
There's no deny ing they are in a bad
condition, caused by rebels firing The
SUI ar fields and preventing the grind
iug of sugar This is their only occu-
patton, and, OF course, when deprived
OF their only income, want and suffering
followed. Private charity is small"
"You don't seem to be much Of a
Cuban enthusiast" remarked the Globe
man to Mr.. McGarr.
mo, sir: I'm not" said he. Il think
we have completely lost our heads over
this Cuban revolution"
