HYSTERIA IS DEPLoRED.
Grover Cleveland Believer in Old
Democratic Creed.

Hartford, March 1S-The Hartford
Times to-day publishes the following from
eX-President Cleveland:
Il have received your letter of the 10th
instant, asking for an expression OF my
views in regard to the Nebraska Demo-
cratic platform and the general type Of
proposals to which ii seeks TO affix the
Democratic label.
You doubtless know. as well as all my
fellow-eoqntrymen, that am a believer
at all tines in the old Democratic creed
Our people need rest, after a period
Of terrific hysteria; they need peace. af-
ter intense excitement and Apprehension.
and they need conservatism after the dis
turbing fever Of radicaIism.
These things true Democracy in its in
tegrity and purity should offer 10 them. -

REID MURDERER WITNESSES
TO GO BEFORE GRAND JURY

Since the murder Of Henry W Reid
last January, detectives have been work
ing continually in the hope of clearing
up the mystery surrounding the case.
and within the next few days several
witnesses probably VIII be presented to
the grand jury by the police.
Charles Philips, employed as a porter
at Reid's saloon. has been held in Jail
since the murder as a United States
witness, and while the police do not
think that he was implicated in the
killing Of Reid. they do believe that
he knows more than he has been willing
to tell.
Every effort is being made by the de-
tectives to find some trace OF a negro
named Moses Gassaway. who IS said to
have delivered oysters at Reds saloon
several times shortly before he was
murdered. The police think that CASA
way may be able to throw some light on
the mystery, as information obtained
by them tends to show that he was in
the neighborhood Of Reds saloon on
the night he was killed.
