PRINCETON, N. j., Oct. 31.-Francis J..
Hall, president of the University Repub-
lican Club has received letter from Will
liam ]. Bryan, dated New York, Oct. %, in
which he answers the two questions sent
him by the Republican Club when he adj
dressed the students at Princeton Junction
last Thursday. After expressing his appre-
citation of the courtesy shown him by the
Republicans 1T that meeting Mr.. Bryan
answered the question:
"First-Will you, If elected, redeem the
coin obligations of the government in gold
or Silver?''
To this he replied that he would enforce
the law as he found it; that the Repub-
lican party has the executive, House and
Senate. and as there is one more session
of Congress before another President is
inaugurated. he had no way of knowing
what law regarding this matter would be
in effect by March 4. He also stated that
his views the money question could
be found in his letter of acceptance.
Second-"Do you approve of the disfran-
ChiSement of the negroes in North Caro-
lima by the Democrats of that State?"
Mr.. Bryan stated that this question was
not an issue in the campaign, and said:
you should hold the President RESPONSE
BILE for what he has done in Porto Rico
and not me responsible for what has been
done N North Carolina" He adds that
there is but little, if any, difference be-
tween the race question law in North
Carolina and that in Porto Rico.

at Cuxhaven Wednesday on the imperial

MONNETT CONTRADICTED.
Attorney General Griggs Says the
Ohioan Did Not Tell the Truth.

NAPOLEON, o., Oct. 31.-The following
letter from Attorney General Griggs dated
Washington, Oct. 25) to ]. r. Linthicum,
chairman of the Republican committee of
Henry county, relative to certain state
ments made by former Attorney General
Monnett in a speech delivered here on Oct.
q was made public to-day:
Dear Sir-I am in receipt of your letter
of the I'D inst, in which you state that ex-
Attorney General Frank S. Monnett, of
Ohio, in a Democratic speech at Napoleon,
on the I'D inst stated that l, in letter to
him, and also in personal interview with
him, made the statement that the reason
why the trusts have not been prosecuted
was that the President has been inactive
and Indifferent TO the enforcement of the
antitrust laws.
Unless Mr.. Monnett has taken leave of
his senses, L cannot believe he ever made
such a statement. So far as / can recall,
have never written him letter upon any
subject. / am sure that never wrote him
letter upon the subject of trusts, nor in
any wise alluded 10 the action of this ad-
ministration with reference thereto.
LAS TO his allegation that / made such a
statement in personal interview with him,
that is also entirely untrue. / never met
Mr.. Monnett but once, and that was only
for a few minutes, when he called TO pay a
visit OF courtesy. being introduced TO me by
his predecessor, the present solicitor gen
eral, John K. Richards, of Ohio / do not
think or believe that the subject of trusts.
or any other subject. except such as would
arise in general conversation on a visit OF
this nature, was touched on. / am sure
that 1 made no such statement as you say
Mr.. Monnett attributes 10 me. Nor could L
have made such a statement, because IL
would have been untrue.
THE attitude and record Of this admins
tration on the subject of prosecutions under
the antitrust laws are contained in the
last annual report OF the attorney general
TO Congress- a copy of which is forwarded
TO you by this mail"

CHICAGO. Oct. Ex-senator Jonathan p.
Dolliver, of Iowa, tonight addressed an
audience of several thousand at the Audi
forum, under the auspices OF the Chicago
Business Mans Sound Money Association.
The meeting was arranged for the en-
ployes of retail stores throughout the
city. Harlow n. Higginbotham called the
meeting to order and presented as the
chairman OF the evening Gen. Frederick
III. Winston. who was United States min
lister to Persia during President cleve-
lands administration.
In introducing Senator Dolliver General
Winston stated that ex-President cleve-
land would vote for the re-election OF
President Mckinley. which statement
brought forth a great outburst Of APP
plause.
Senator Dolliver devoted the greater por-
ton of his speech to free silver AID to the
prosperity which he claimed was the di-
rect result of the Mckinley administration
and its policies. He charged that Mr.. Bry-
ans predictions as TO business conditions
and prices under the gold standard had all
been discredited So far as the questions
of militarism and imperialism were. con-
cerned Senator Dolliver charged that they
were not issues at all. but only noises of
the campaign. The senator's address was
punctuated throughout with generous APP
plause.

NEW YORK, Oct 3i.-Charles r. Flint's
Arrow, under contract TO be the fastest
ship ever designed, was launched to-day
at Ayerss shipyard at Nyack, N. Y. She
has been built under a guarantee by her
designer of forty-two miles an hour. and
IL is expected that under pressure she will
be able to make fifty. 1t has been generally
given out that she was constructed as a
yacht for Mr.. Flints personal use, but
rumors have been persistent that she was
built under contract with one of the South
American governments for service as G.
torpedo boat. Her plans so far as they
have been made public show her fully
equipped for torpedo service. The Arrow
will go in tow to Newark, N. j., where her

of prosperity, the speaker dwelling particu-
larry on the fact that prosperity cannot
but help even the lowest wage worker and,
in fact, help him TO a greater extent than
it does some of those who are known as
the middle class"
Now, as to Mr.. Bryan's prophecies"
said the Governor, here is exactly what
Mr.. Bryan said in his Minneapolis speech:
The gold standard means dearer money,
cheaper property. harder times, more peo-
pie out of work. more people destitute,
more people desperate and more crime
There are the prophecies. Now look around
in your own city, in your own State and
compare with those prophecies their full
fillment. He said dearer money; instead
of being dearer the rate of interest has
gone down. Cheaper property? Instead
of being cheaper the farm values in the
country have greatly increased. Harder
times? Instead of being harder there is
now more work and better wages than ever
before in our history. a great deal more
than I'm our recent history. More people
destitute? Well look back. Didn't We have
the soup kitchens then? We have not got
them now More people desperate? Only
in Bryanite meetings. There are his
prophecies and there are their non-fulill-
ment.
Mr. Bryan" continued the Governor,
Says he is the champion of the poor. /
think it is mighty poor man of whom
Mr.. Bryan is champion. Mr.. Bryan says
trusts flourish more than they did four
years ago. He is quite right. Everything
fiourishes more than four years ago. A
good year for crops as a good year for weeds.
Hoe out the weeds but don't pillow under
the crops. Here in this city you have bag
factories and your mechanics are all en-
ployed. Don't try to help the workmen
by shutting up the factories"
The Governor. for the first time during
his New York State trip, was besieged
with circulars asking why he signed GER
tain local legislation. particularly amend
ments TO the Lockport charter, and If he
