LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.

LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT.
President Roosevelt late last night
made reply to Mr.. W. ]. Bryan's recent
speech, in which be maintained that the
democratic party and platform were not
getting "squsre deal' in the campaign
that the presidents professions of fair
treatment entitled them to. Mr.. Roose-
v,lrs reply deals particularly with M.
B vans assertion ttat the administrk-
ton has been neither sincere nor effec-
tive In the prosecution of trusts. Mr..
Roosevelt denies this charge and seis
forth in detail Whist has been done I'M
der his direction toward curbing the
tendency of capital to centralize with q
view to destroying competition.
Mr. Roosevelt Announces that he will
make no reply to Mr.. Bryan's charge
that he has improperly used his great
Office, with its prestige and Influence, to
force upon his party candidate it did
not want and upon the nation presi-
dent OF his personal choosing. To Mr..
Brysn's demand to know why the re.
publican campaign managers will not
make public before election the names
of the contributors to the campaign, Mr..
Roosevelt says that he emphaticslly ap-
proves q contrary course, and the books
will remain closed until after election.
Mr.. Roosevelt declares that Mr..
Bryan's election will cause calamity to
the nations business and morals, and
then fiercely attacks the policies advo-
Gated by Mr.. Bryan II years ego.
A great part OF the reply deals with
the Foraker snd Haskell matters, and
it includes a defense of the adminislrs-
toms course in allowing the Prairie
Oil Company to enter Oklahoma.

ANY MAN who calls himself demo-
CRIT, certainly every southern democrat

If he believed as trae an article publish

pen of Grover Cleveland, and of course
posthumous contribution to the preSi'
Dental contest The article trst ap-
pesred in the New York Times, and was
in the opinion Of good judges OF Mr..
Cleveland's style OF expressing bis
thoughts, a cheap and laundering imi-
tation. Its Efforts to belittle Mr.. Bryan
and to exslt Judge Taft we're remark
able. Inssmuch as neither had been
nominated when the article was sup
posed to have besn prepared and Mr.
Cleveland at that time being a very SICK
man. But what was most surprising wss
an almost sneering allusion to the
southern people and leading public men,
Henry Waltsroon in the Louisville Cou-
rier Journal at once charged that the
thing was a forgery, that Mr.. Cleveland
could not have been such an migrate IS

and sensitive as those of the SOUTH
section that in three elections had solid

executor of Mr.. Cleveland at the time OF
its publication, thought perhaps Ii
might be Mr.. Clevelaud's writing but 1t
appears be has changed his mind, for
now he says to the New York Times:
Since our interview of September "
there has come to my knowledge levi
deuce' which leaves 10 my mind no
doubt of the fact that the said article was
not written or signed by Grover CleVe-
land, and, therefore, is, in my opinion,
no longer entitled to credit as bi7 pro-
duction. Mrs. Cleveland, in ny judg-
meut, was right regarding it when she
positively declared to us since Its publ,
cation, 81 do not believe it is genuine. "
The Times has called upon Mr.. Has
tings for toe "evidence" he mentions 10
his letter, lut will say that Mr.. Hastings
refused to throw further light upon the
matter when seen Friday, saying;
You must see John G., Carlisle, / have
promised not to Say anything. Mr..
OlrIisle has told me to refer to him.
The desperation of the republicans In
this campaign is remarkable, but it is
40 old story, and can be repeated that q
party that has stolen one presidential
election aud purchased two, will no.
hesitate to play the ghoul, and reach into
the grave of the only democratic presi-
dent since the war and attempt to make
him the medium of an assault upon q
party and a people from whom he re-
ceived all bis honOrs.
