From Edward III. Harriman's confiden-
tial statement to Sidney Webster.
About a week before the election in

certain that the state ticket would go
Democratic and was doubtful as to
Roosevelt himself, he, the president

if could help them in raising the
necessary funds as the national COM
mittee, under control of Chairman Cor

them, and there WAS 4 large amount
due from them to the New York state
committee. We talked over what could
be done for Depew, and finally he
agreed that ii found necessary he

few words over the telephone the

which he did probably in three or four
hours, with the result that the whole
amount, including my subscription,
had been raised.
The checks were given to Treasurer

REPUBLICANS INCENsED
Longworth's speech at Rock Island,
III, Arouses Wrath.

No utteranee of the campaign has
attracted more attention than the pre-
diction of Congressman Nicholas
Longworth, the presidents son-in-l;tw,
who, in a speech at Rock Island. ILL.,,
declared that after eight years of Taft.
it would be Roosevelt in the Waite
House again. This utterance has caused
Republican campaign managers no lit
tie annoyance. The Republican view
of the incident is we'll set forth by tlle
ing Republican papers in the entire
west. The Inter Ocean said
THE Hon. Nicholas Longworth pro.
posed to 10000 American citizens in
Rock Island on Friday that Mr.. Ta.t t
should be made president of the
United States for the next eight years
and Mr.. Roosevelt for the eight years
following Mr.. Tafts second term.
AS Mr. Longworth is President
Roosevelt's son-in-law, his words are
accepted usually as semi-offieiaI for
the White House. This is the unfortu-
nate feature Of his utteranes In the
present instance.

New York, October 23.-National Chair man Mack made public the following tele- sram from Samuel Gompers. president Of the American Federation of Labor, and received by MT. Bryan upon his arrival in Jersey City tonight:

Some newspapers are trying to embarrass you by declaring that you will appoint me member ot your cabinet If you are elected President You may say that I have publicly, em- phatically and frequently declared that under no circumstances would l accept any public office, either elective or ap- pointive, and this declaration is irre- vocable.

HEAVY HEAVY HANGS OVER YoUUsE FORCE
TAKES HAND
 IN BRANDENBURG CASE

Coming to town next day I learned who the literary agent was; that his letter had been refused as of doubtful authenticity if not wholly spurious by the New York Herald and the World and that the very name of MT. Cleve- lands executor was miscalled, it being Frank S. Hastings and not Frederick s. Hastings. as it had been printed.
 Then 1 went directly to MT. Carlisle and said to him: MT. Secretary, MT. Cleveland's bitterest enemy would well some this and could ask nothing worse to be used against his memory. You know that I was not MT. Cleveland s enemy-though I never claimed to be his friend-but you are his friend. his nearest living friend and you owe it as duty to the dead to run this down and ex- pose it.
 MT. Carlisle thought with me that Mr. Cleveland had written no such let ter and felt, though wholly withdrawn from public life, that it was his duty to see justice done to his old chiefs mem ory.
 "The next day I left New York and came home where I have remained ever since urging forward the investigation, though apart from it. by merely ad- vising the public of the fact"

New Orleans. October 23.-On her bridal tour which had begun scarcely an hour before, and seated in railroad coach almost between her husband ana a former suitor for her hand, Mrs Fred Van Ingen last night saw the flash or the suitors revolver, felt the sudden grip of her husbands hand as the bull let killed him, and then turned and fought for her life. When the girl ap- peared about to become the victim or the second bullet from the revolver, her uncle. a man with gray hair but strong and cool under the excitement, rushed up and thrust his thumb be- meath the hammer of the revolver, tanning the mechanism and rendering the weapon harmless.
 This was the story which the other passengers on the Texas Pacific Can non Ball" told when they reached this city today, but the principal actors Tn the tragedy, most of whom are con nected with Louisiana's leading fami- lies, have so far refused to discuss the matter.

Louisville, October 2S-In regard to a statement reported to have been made at Dayton. O., last night by the at torney for Broughton Brandenburg, that Col. Watterson announced before the Cleveland letter was published that it must be discredited by all means,' Mir Watterson tonight said to a rep resentative of the Associated Press:
 'I never had heard of the alleged Cleveland letter until l read it in the New York Times of Sunday, Apgust B. It impressed me at once as fraudulent. I knew that MT. Cleveland never had any official dealings with Judge Taft except in a single instance, involving disagreements; I knew that MT. Cleve- land was in no condition to write such a letter at or near the date of its al legged composition and I thought l knew enough of MT. Cleveland's working meth ods and habits of mind to know that he would put forth nothing so import ant in such a way. The general text furnished matter for further discredtt since 1t treated of events which had not come to pass and could not have been so confidently anticipated by man as painstaking and careful as the late ex- President.

 In making this statement here today w. J. Bryan got tumultuous cheering. He declared that democratic gains were coming from all parts of the country. We have had campaigns in the past he said. where the platform of a party, ours and other parties would be popular in one section and unpopular in another, but in this campaign our platform is popular in all sections, and the republican platform Is unpopular everywhere. Our party IS getting recruits from all occupations, as we'll as from all sections. The laboring men will vote the democratic ticket this year with unanmity not known before in 40 years"
 Mr. Bryan predicted that the democratic ticket would receive the support of a larger percentage of railroad men than 1t ever did before.
