And Grosvenor Knows.

General Grosvenor called at the
White House today for the first time
since his return from Europe, and
spent some time with the President.
After his conference, General Grosven-
or said: THE result in Ohio will be
the same as in years past for the same
reasons The Democrats can not car
ry Ohio against Mckinley, and that is
what the election of Mclean would
mean,
Discussing the Dreyfus verdict, Gen
eral Grosvenor said:
The French Nation hates us, and,
let me tell you, the Paris Exhibition
will not be the success it would had
not this Drayfus outrage been perpe-
trated. The big show will be boycott
ted by people of many countries, and,
while | am inclined to doubt that any
government that already is committed
to making an exhibit will fail to do so,
l believe the exhibits will not be what
has been planned or expected AS
matter of fact, | think Paris is an un-
safe place for this Government to send
its priceless and matchless treasures.
No one can fortell whether they Will
be returned intact or not. There
would be a revolution in France now
or in a short time if there was a leader
there like Boulaner. The country is
ripe for a great upheaval, but, because
of the absence of the man to lead the
attack on the regularly constituted au-
thorities, the nation will be spared for
the time.
The army of France is rotten in
stitution, continued the General,
about the only man connected with
it who has won his spurs as a soldier
is the Minister of War, who was with
Macmillan in Mexico The soldiers
comprising the military establishment
OF the nation are insignificant, inferior
runts, daubed over with a uniform.
And, while l have been talking about
the Farls Exposition, let me say that
it won't hold a candle to the Chicago
Worlds Fair. There will be no COM
parison between the two.
" In Germany l found existing a
fierce spirit of rivalry against this
country But this is due to the COM
mercial supremacy OF the United
States. There was absent the deep
rooted hostility, observable in France
however. In England a very kindly
telling prevails toward us-a much
more fraternal and kindly sentiment
than existed a few years agO."-Cin

Colonel James Kilbourne has so far
failed to make return of his cost bill
in chasing the Democratic nomination
for governor at the GAINESVILLE conven-
tion for and the ten days allowed by
the Garfield law during which such a
statement may be filed have expired
The Democratic leader in Franklin
county is, therefore under section OF
the above law, liable to fine of not
less than $1,000. the same to be paid
into the common school fund of the
state. Under the Garfield enactment
it is made the duty of the prosecuting
attorney to bring immediate action
against the offending person. What
will Prosecutor Thurman do about it?

Wants To Fight Esterhazy.

Kansas City, Mo-. Sept 1t.-Captain
Thomas Phelan, a broad swordsman
and pistol shot, has issued a chel-
lenge to Count Esterhazy. to fight him
a duel, in defense of Captain Alfred
Dreyfus. Captain Phelan has engag-
ed in several personal encounters, and
is said to be backed by several prom
inent local Jews, who have guaranteed
his passage to England to meet Ester
hazy. He is a veteran of the Civil
War.
Captain Phelan's letter follows:
Kansas City, Mo, Sept. H., 1899
To Count Esterhazy, Upper Gloucester
Place, Dorcet Square. London, Ems.
Sir-Bellevlng you TO be the insu-
gator and arohconspirator responsible
for all the miserles and tribulations of
Captain Dreyfus, again convicted as a
traitor to his country, and because he
(Dreyfus )is now unable to follow you
and demand satisfaction for the mis-
cries that you have heaped upon HIM,
|, as an Irish American, who does not
belong to any race or creed,and believ-
ing that man should not be punished
on account of his religion, do volun-
teer to take his place in the field of
honor at any time or place you may
designate, the place of meeting to be
on neutral grounds. l am, respectful
ly, THOMAS PHELAN'
Ex-Captain U. s Volunteers.
The challenge was mailed to Count
Esterhazy today
Phelan is the man who exposed the
plot to blow up the British steamer
Queen with dynamite O'Donovan
Rosa accused him of being a traitor to
Ireland, and subsequently in January,
1885, Phelan went to the Office of Ros-
sa, in New York, and there he was as
saulted and stabbed in many places,
and his subsequent recovery was
thought to be almost miracle.

The Grandest People Are the.
West VIrgIntans, Says John
q. Blanchard.

We are indebted 10 the Grafton
Leader for the following letter from
gentleman who took part in the
campaigns of this State in 1892 and
1894. 1t was written to a friend in
Grafton. and here it is:
cit gives me great pleasure to re-
call those happy days which / en-
joyed in company with the grand
est people on earth, the noble, gen.
erous. true and intelligent people
of West Virginia. How wish I
could be back there again and know
what / know now. Some questions
L would ask: What of our coun-
try? Where are we at and whittier
are we going? Are we not follow
ing in the footsteps of the Roman
Republic which went from, q grand
republic to monied aristocracy-
or oligarchy-and then military
despotism2 Is it not fact that in
1776 our fathers proclaimed the
Declaration of Independence and
established the grandest republic
on earth, and maintained it until
1878. nearly 100 years, when we
surrendered our independence back
to Great Britain by giving her the
control of our purse2 The old say
ing is true, "whosoever controls the
purse, will soon control the sword, ;"
and has it not proved true in our
case9 When the Republican party
was formed, not bond had ever
been issued by our government
Then there were no sonlless, taxless
corporations, no credit mobiliers,
syndioates, trusts, whisky rings,
and salary grabbers which have
since cursed our country, all under
the great Republican eagle on the
one side and thousands of the
mercenary on the other ready for
sale on the day of election to sus-
tain these bond holders, corpora
tions and SO forth-all the out
growth and Legitimate product of
the grandest party of corruption
and fraud that ever existed to curse
any nation"
