KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
Colonel Rlal>e's Advice to the Dis
trict Democratic Associations.

trict Democratic AssOciaVtoE.
There was a large and enthusiastic gath
ering of men last night at the rooms OF
the District of Columbia Democratic Asso-
citation, following with close attention the
speech of Col. l.. L. Blake. of virginia.
He presented to his hearers in foreeful and
concise language the issues Of the cam
paign and earned tremendous applause by
the plain and able manner in which he
disposed of the false claims and assertions
of the candidates of the Republican party.
He said: 1t is not party tiglt; II is
fight of the American people; of the masses
against the classes. The people are en-
ten to the voice of the American and not
to that of English lords who are running
our Government now
Furthermore, Colonel Blake said that the
Democrats would carry Ohio by majority
of at least 81, coo. He said that a great
number of the Grand Army men would
vote against Mckinley, as he has ap-
pointed a Pension Commissioner who is
against the interests of the old soldier.
Colonel Blake claimed that those who
were at the head OF the Cuban postal
frauds. Nicely and Rathbone, would never
be tried, as their trial would implicate men
who today are holding high Government
positions.
Colonel Blake finally advised his hearers
to keep up the fight for the good cause I'M
til the very last and victory would surely
be theirs.

COMMISSIONER PECK,s BILLS.
Treasury Officials Surprised mt Some
That He Has Presented.


The unusual character of the bills which
are being charged to the Government by
Commissioner General Peck. the head of
the American Bureau at the Paris EXPOSE
Treasury officials. Another of his accounts
has come to the attention of Acting Comp
troller Mitchell. The bill this time is for
s119.66. due Tiffany G. Co.. of New York.
for HANDSOME gold medal which Mr.. Peck
presented as a token of esteem to his
friend and colleague, Commissioner Gen
eral Picard, of the French Exposition. The
presentation took place at the opening of
the American pavilion. Mr. Peck also Sc
cured number 81 bronze medals, which
he gave to his friends among the lesser
dignitaries. When the bills for them were
received Fred Bracket, the disbursing
agent Of the American Bureau at the Ex-
position, wrote to the Comptroller of the
Treasury. asking whether the charges were
proper ones against the appropriation for
the Paris Exposition.
In his reply the Acting Comptroller de-
clares that the bills cannot be paid out OF
the general appropriation. II paid at all.
they can be paid only out OF the special
fund of $4,000. which was placed at the
disposal of the Commissioner General to be
nlSDurSeu on MS own ceTtlNCdtlON. The
Acting Comptroller refers TO his ruling on
former occasion when Commissioner
General Peck sent in a bill for an elabor-
ate dinner given to the American artists
in Paris. The Commissioner then wanted
the expenses to be paid out of the general
appropriation. At that time the Acting
Comptroller declined to assent to the paw
ment of the BILL which he did not consider
a proper one. He declared that if it were
TO be paid at all, 1t must be paid out of
the $4,000 fund over which the Commits
sioner had sole jurisdiction.
The Treasury officials are much surpris-
ed at the character Of the bills which Mr..
Peck is contracting. few days ago a bill
of $500 francs, submitted by him, was re-
jected by the Comptroller as 1t was con-
sidered personal account and not a bill
against the United States.

MR.. LouDFNsLAGER's CLAIMS.
Believes the Republicans Will Eas-
lily Control the Next House.

Representative Loudenslager, in charge
OF Eastern headquarters of the Republican
Congressional Committee, issued the fol-
lowing statement yesterday afternoon:
Information received at these head
quarters from all over the Countrywide
sources of such information not being
wholly from political channels-indicates a
constant growth in the energy and activity
Of the Republicans and those allied with
them in this campaign and constant addi-
tions to our ranks from those who voted
for Bryan in 1896. which is very encour-
aging. indeed.
The information from the West indi-
Gates that We wiz at least hold our own
in the membership of the Fifty
Congress. while from the East it is Of Q
more specific and detailed character and
clearly indicates that we will hold every
district now represented by Republicans
and in addition gain at least ten of those
represented by Democrats. with the
chances very favorable to several others.
This. of course. is based upon the assump-
tion and belief that the present activity
and energy will continue from now until
the close OF the polls. and We are in hopes
that It will increase in vigor and earnest
ness, with results still more gratifying"

Democrats on the Capitol Force Adj
vised Not to Vote for Bryan.
The story is in circulation in Demo-
cratic circles that the suggestion has been
made to Democratic voters ON the Capitol
police force that for their personal in
terest they ought not to exercise their
right of franchise at the approaching cleo
ton. One of these men said to a reporter
for The Times yesterday:
THE tip has been given to the few of
us that are on the force. that it will
be better for us if we do not go home to
vote, and although the tip has been
given out in the nature of a suggestion,
II has been construed by the men to whom
it has been given as a threat, and has de-
TERED several OF us from going home to
register. No circular has been sent 10 us.
but the word has been passed along to us
by the Republican members of the force
with the insinuation that it has come
down from pretty high sources. There is
scarcely Republican on the force who
will not go home to vote. II is the few
Democrats on the force who will remain
on duty at the Capitol"
