Grover cIevsIsnas Ideas on sub
Ject.

Atlanta, Ga, December 1.-THE At
lantn Journal this afternoon publishes
an interview with former President
Cleveland, obtained py a staff correspon-
dent at Princeton, N. J. MIR. Cleveland
Is quoted as follows:
I'm my opinion, the great need OF
the Democratic party Is return to first
principles. The Democratic party has
not been fatally disorganizsu, but 1t
sadly needs rehabilitation ON pure iy
Democratic lines.
.'whas Is the matter with the party ?
1t has In my humble judgment simply
wandered off after strange gods. A
large mass OF Democratic voters saw this
before the last election. They remained
quiet, but when the time came 60 vote,
they said: 'rhis is not Democracy and
refused to support 1t.
"As 1 see IL, it Is the duty of De mo-
Gratis everywhere to aid In the re-habili.
tation of the party. There are some
signs OF an insistence upon the necessity
OF return TO Democratic doctrines In
the south, but they are not so general as
l would Ike to see."
"What OF the futureg' was asked.
with q sincere return to Its old-time
DOCTRINES" Mr.. Cleveland replied, 1.-THE
oid-time victories of the Democratic
party will certainly bs won"

preferences In the matter of Apo In tment
and to retention In positions In the e1-
eeutiye departments Of the government,

At Indian Head Proving Grounds Last
Night-No Information Obtainable.

Washington, October 24.-It is report
ed that an explosion occurred at the
Indian Head proving grounds about IL
o'clock tonight. A flash of light, visi-
BILE some distance. accompanied the ex-
plosion. which was followed by a fire.
The explosion shook the windows OF
houses in Alexandria. nineteen miles
from Indian Head. There is no direct
communication with the proving
grounds by which details can be had
tonight. The proving grounds are
twenty-five miles down the Potomac
river from Washington and many OF
the big guns and much of the armor
for the battleships are tested there.
1t is believed that the powder mills
and other buildings at the proving
grounds were destroyed. The first
shock was felt over a radius Of twenty
miles. A number of other explosions
were heard as far north as Alexandria
and at Whitewater station, Va, seven
teen miles south. At Quantico, clever
miles below Indian Head one explosion
after another was heard and bricks
were shaken from chimneys. Forts
Hunt and Washington, eleven miles
north of Indian Head, were shaken hy
the explosion.
The tug Triton left the navy yard
soon after the explosion for the prov.
ing grounds. There are several officer:
and a number of enlisted men anC
workmen at the place.

WILMINGTON, Nc, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26 1900
QUESTIONS PUT TO ROOSEVELT
Which He Declines to Answer-His
Days Work In New York

Utica, n. Y. October 1.-Governor
Rooseveb's third day Of campaigning
in New York state embraced several
features not heretofore marked in his
reception at other places. AT nearly
every place at which he stopped en-
route, there were huge crowds OF peo-
pie.
In this city tonight. instead OF
speech-making. the days work ended
with a review of an immense demon
stration- This was entirely agreeable
to Governor Roosevelt. who, during
the day, had made nine speeches, some
of them extremely long ones, while
travelling through three counties
Chenango, Madison and Oneida.
Rome, n. Y, October 24.-At Rome
a huge crowd gathered in the public
square and the governor addressed them
from the balcony to which he was
driven from the train. Two crowds Of
small boys followed his carriage, those
on one side shouting '.Hurrah for
Bryan" while those on the other side
tried to drown their cheers with coun-
ter cheers for Mckinley. While the
governor was speaking a crowd of ju-
veniles who had gathered Immediately
beneath the governor kept trying to
annoy him by their boisterous conduct.
Some men in the crowd tried to ask
the governor a list of prepared ques-
tions in printed form. He never heard
them because the nois< was too great
in the mems vicinity, but several OF
the circulars were flung into the car
riage, which the governor occupied on
his return from the platform. He said
to the Associated Press reporter that
he would not discuss them, and that
the majority of them were for the at
torney general to make answer to il
he desired. Here are the questions:
why did you not prosecute the
canal thieves as you promises when
you were candidate for governor?
"Why did you not cCmence action
before the claims were barred?
why don't you have a summons is
sued against the ice trust? The only
way to commence an action is by
summons. None has ever been served
why don't you remove the mayor
Of New York for his connection with
the ice trust?
You have been only thirty-six hour:
at the capitol attending to business a:
governor since June 1St. Do you thinl
it honest to take full pay during tha
time?
Don't you think a candidate fol
vice president should find courteous
language to express his thoughts ant
| not call his questioners 'hoodlums,
! 'hoboes' and 'drunks,' and withou
| any knowledge on the subject accus
| them of working their mouths, stand
| ing against the flag, and lacking IL
| patriotism?
why not give out for publication
| Mayor VanWyck's answer in which
| is claimed members of your state ad
ministration and Senator Platt ar
| charged with being particeps crimini
| in the ice trust scandal?'
