GROVER CLEVELAND SAYS BRY.
ANS ELECTION WILL BE A
LANDSLIDE.
Afterwafd Said It Was a Lie
-Reporter Makes Aflida-
Wit that Assertion Was
Made-Affair Thought to
be a Political Trick.

Philadelphia, Pa, October 30
1.-THE Times printed an interview
this morning with ex-Prcsident
fCleveland, in which he predicts
a landslide to William j. Bryau.
After an hours conversation
on general subjects, the ex-Presi-
dent said:
"Mr. young mal,you will see q
landslide for Bryan the morning
after election; of this I am conf
dent. There are elements all
over the country at work which it
would be impossible to draw into
line for Mckinley.
"ln the first place, union labor
IS for Bryan. Of recent years this
organization of labor has been a
factor in politics, and it certainly
| is not favorable in the interests of
capital.
"The travelling men are for Bry-
| an. These men, who are small
army, are of the opinion that the
Republican party is the protector
lof corporations, and by the ANAL
lgamation' of industrial interests
Imany of them have been thrown
out of employment.
''ln the Northwest. in Minneso-
ia, in Dokota and Iowa, there are
many Hollanders. Sympathy for
the Beers, who are their own flesh
Eand blood, will induce them to
support Bryan. See if | am not
Icorrect~
II have no desire to be drawn
into any controversy over the
results of the election, but if the
results of the election, but if the
Republican managers honestly
think that PresidenqMcKinley will
be reelected, is my opinion they
are mistaken. They do not know
the situation" 4"
In discussing campaign methods
he said that Mr.. Bryan was a re-
markable orator and had magne-
tic personality, which is respon-
sible for his tremendous popula-
rity. When asked what the effect
.of an oratoiical campaign is, he
replied:
well, for man who can talk
as Br, an does, it is successful
method. For a candidate who is
not an orator. it would be dis

der his able and gifted editorial
direction, became one of the
strongest and most influential
journals in the State. Naturally
IA firm believer. in the inyiu-
liability of the Constitution and a
strong protagonist of the doctrine
of the States rights he urged with
the warmth and viriliiy Of his pen
the secession of Mississippi when
it became evident that the policy
Of the North meant the ruthless
trampiing underfoot of the idea
of State sovereignty.
When hostilities came, Major
Hearsey left his paper and joined
the Wilkinson Rifles, which sub
seqnently became a part of the
famous Sixteenth Mississippi re-
giment. He served throughout
the war and rose from private to
orderly sergeant, to regimentai
and brigade assistant quai1errnas-
Ter aud finally to positions on the
staffs of ffrimble, Feathefstone,
Posey and harris. At the close
of the war he was honorablv dis
charged with the rank Of Major.
Some years after the close Of
the war, in 1870, Major Hearsey
went TO Shreveport, where he re-
viYed the Shreveport News. Con.
sequcntly he established, with
Capt. John s. Lewis, the East
Texas Bulletin Of ilarshaIl Texas,
and still later. with Col. A. y.
Batle, A. Hs Leonard and Chas.
Lewis, the Shreveport Times.
As the editor of the Times he
wrote the first articles in favor OF
an open and aggressive, revolt
against negro domination and suf-
frage and the fire thus kindled by
the Times blazed throughout
North Louisiana and led to a
great political victory in the Red
RIVER valley over the radicals.

CIeXeland,s Denial.

Princeton, N. j., October 30
Grover Cleveland, in regard to
the Philadelphia Times story this
afternoon said:
"The whole thing from begin
ming to end is an absolute lie,

shadow of truth, | have never

being that affords the least pre-
text for such q mendacious state

events, however, his opinions and
beliefs are positive and immutable
and if in politics he has seemed
TO subscribe to views antagonistic
to those currently attributed to
him in matters of party principle,
it has been. at all times in submis-
sion to the party will and in the
interest of party success.
THE States today is a live, pro
gressive and prosperous institu.
tion; but the vast majority of its
older readers and many of its new

tion with it of the vigorous per-
s6nality of its longtime chief.".

The war in the Philippines will
end November 8, for good and
all, if the politicians are to be be-
lieved. If Bryan is elected, it
will end because he will give them
all they ask, while if Mckinley Is
chosen, it will end because they
will know that there will be no
use in fighting any longer. so in
any case, we shall all be happy
if the politicians are. right.

heard Of Mr.. CleveIand's denial,
he voluntarily went to the Times

interview with Grover Cleveland
on the 23rd day of October, 1900,

Accepting the interview as ho-
gus, it becomes plain and stamps
the whole proceeding as a monu-
mental trick of Mr.. Bryan's enc
mics. The Republicans have all
along interpreted Mr.. Cleveland's
silence as indicative of his sympa-
thies being with their cause. but
not satisfied with this indefinite
attitude. of the erstwhile Demo-
cratic leader, they, as a last resort,
desperately attempted to have
him speak, calculating that with
his denial, as was known be would
make under the circumstances,
would be forthcoming the asser-
tion Of where he stood. But all in
vainl Mr.. Cleveland has either
lied or been imposed upon.

HOW TO VOTE NEXT TUESDAY.
While the people elect n Pres

While the people elect Presi-
dent by their votes they do not
fyote direct for the candidate. The
vote is done through an Electoral
College. In other words, each
State puts up a ticket of Presi-
Dental Electors, and these cast
the vote which finally decides who
shall be President and Vice-Pres
ident.
The ticket is made up as TO give
one Elector for each United States
Senator and one for each member
of Congress. The college, there
fore, this year will contain 447
Electors. The successful candi-
date for President and Vice Pres
ident will be required to secure
not less than 224.
Below will be found copy of
ballot containing the names and
constitutional amendments to be
voted on ut the election next
Tuesday. There are twenty-sov- :
en- Presidential Elsctors, nine for
The Democrats, the same number
for the Republicans and remain
ing number for the Populists.
The Republicans have no candi-
date for Congress, The Demo-
Gratis have Mr.. McLain and the
Populists Mr.. Turley.
1t will be necessary to place an
X mark opposite those nine
names representing the party you
will wish to vote for. In giving
a sample of the ticket below we
show how to mark the ticket so
that it will count for Col. Bryan,
the Democratic nominee. The
proposed amendments should also
be voted upon and we trust they
will carry and be adopted. Cut this
out and bring it to the polls for
reference.

CAUGHT BETWEEN R. /. GATES
Mr. Ripley and Team Narrowly Avert
Serious Collision

In a panic Of fright and suspense sew
eral persons were again reminded Of the
great fatality in September, 1855. at the
Douglas avenue crossing of the Rock
Island yesterday afternoon. Mr.. ShipIey,
who drives a mule team for the Smyth
Implement company, came dreadfulIy
near being struck by a freight train go
ing south. He was driving across the
track when the gates were being lowered.
The team is said to have SHE'D at the
east gate as it was nearing the ground.
and wheeled around BY that time both
gates were down and Mr. Shipley was
hemmed in the right-of-way. The
freight was coming into the crossing and
Mr.. Shipley had 70 work like a rnadman
with that mule team, but he was brave
enough to remain in the wagon. The
team was tearing around on the track.
With an effort Mr.. Shipley succeeded in
getting the team started west and the
gate keeper had time to raise the gate
just enough for the mules to get under.
With a stiff crack Of the whip. Mr.. Ship
ley sent them under the gate just in time
to avoid being hit by the locomotive.
Those who witnessed the incident say
they never expected to see him get out
of the predicament so luckily.

WELLS MYSTERY IS CLEARED
Kansas National Bank EmpIOye Has
Moved Further West

Part of the mystery surrounding the
disappearance Of J. c. Wells. the en-
pI0ye Of the Kansas National bank, who
suddenly left the city over a week ago,
has been cleared. The bank received
telegram from 4ar. Wells father soon
after the publication OF the facts in the
Eagle. stating that he heard from his
son and that ne had gone west and To-
Gated. Further than this no explanation
has been received. Mr.. Wells trunk and
clothing are still at Mrs Hawks board
ing house on North Market street, and
they have received no word from Wells
as TO what disposition TO make Of them.
1t is thought Wells only reason for
leaving 50 suddenly IS that he simply
wanted 10 get away without being mo-
Tested and without molesting anyone. and
thought the easier he could slip out the
better. His position in the bank. while
quite an important one. was not such
but that he could leave it at any time
without incouveniencing the bank OF dis
turning its equilibrium in the least.
It is not known what point Mr.. Wells
Sc ected as his new location.
