AN OPEN LETTER
 ID GEN, WHEELER Gordon Mcdonald Calls on Him to Refute RooSeveIt'S
 Statement.

Montgomery, Ala, October 12-The fol- lowing open letter to Gen. Joseph Wheeler appears in the Montgomery Journal thls afternoon:
 Montgomery, Ala, Oct. F. "To Gen. Joseph Wheeler, Wheeler, Ala:
 My Dear Sir:-The published reports of Governor Roosevelt's address delivered at Indianapolis yesterday, quote him as saying:
 <" I am glad to see the men who wore the blue uniform in the civil war; I am glad to see also such men as wore the gray, such as General Bucxner and Fight ing Joe'' Wheeler, stand with us this year. '"These words put you in line with the Republicans and in antagonism to the Democratic party. I cannot believe there is any truth in such a statement. but 1t is well calculated, if not explicitly denied by you, to aid the enemies of Democracy. "I anticipate that ere this letter reaches you the necessity of prompt repudation of this will have occurred to you, and you will have already published such de- nial of this that the whole country may be assured that you are as ever, a faith full member of the Democratic party, which has ever delighted to honor you. am yours very truly, GORDON MDONALD, "President Bryan and Stevenson Club,
 Montgomery County"
