CLEVELAND ON BRYANIsM.
A Genuine Letter That Tends to Con
firm Articles Recently Printed.

Washington, Oct. IA letter written
last spring by the late Grover Cleve-
land. addressed to a government officer
in Washington. tends to confirm the
authenticity of the Cleveland political
articles recently published in New
York. The letter, which is written en-
tirely in Mr.. Cleveland's own hand, does
not mention the articles recently pub
lshed, but the views on politics eN-
pressed III the letter are similar to
some of those which were set forth in
the articles.
The man to whom the letter was ad-
dressed was an office holder under
President Cleveland. and a warm per-
sonal Friendship existed between them.
The letter expressed clearly and em-
phatically the writer's conviction that
Bryanism was no more acceptable to
him or to the American people at the
time of writing than it had been during
the last IL years: and it stated I'M

PRESIDENT AND HITCHCOCK
Will Today Talk Over Management OF
Judge Taft's Campaign.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Chairman

committee is expected in Washington
tomorrow and the general understand
ing here is that while in the city he
will call on the President for the pur-
pose of exchanging views with him
regarding the conduct of the campaign
in behalf of Judge Taft.
1t was reported here today that the
President had summoned Mr.. Hitch
cock for the purpose of requesting
from him an explanation of the many
criticisms which have recently come
to the White House concerning the
management of affairs both in New
York and Chicago. but Sec Loeb to-
night denied the portion of the report
which attributed Mr.. Hitchcock's COM
ing to special request from the
President.
There is however. excellent au-
thority for the general statement that
a number of complaints as to the man.
agement of the campaign have reach
ed the Executive mansion and the un-
derstanding is that although he has
not requested the presence of the
chairman OF the national committee.
President Roosevelt will welcome the
opportunity to talk with him and to
obtain from him such explanation of
these criticisms as he may be able to
make.

No One Can Deliver Vote of Organic

it would be suicidal to the labor move

deliver the vote of organized labor to
any party, President Norman Z. Nc
Phail of the Boston, Mass. Typo
graphical Union has written a letter
to Chief Willis s. Gore of the United
States weather bureau. declaring that
the labor vote as a body cannot be de-
livered The letter follows:
Dear Mr. Moore:
Your letter of Sept. % has just
been received and read by me as
have today returned from a tour of
our organization.
In reply to the question you ask
me will state that in my opinion. the
vote of organized labor in this country
as a body, will not, should not and
cannot be delivered to any one party
by any man or set of men. To allow
such a thing would be suicidal to the
labor movement of the country. Mem
bers of labor unions as citizens. have
the right and should carefully con-
slider the platforms and promises of
the different political parties and
should vote as they believe the broad
est and best interests of our country
lie. There can be no objection to this
from any source and it is something
which every citizen should do. To
claim that any man or set OF men, a.
has been blazoned forth in the news
papers will deliver the vote of organ
lied labor to any party is absurd as
it is an impossibility.
Sincerely yours.
