CHEERED BY THOUSANDS
Principal Speech Devoted to Labor
Question and Recent Attack Upon
Him by Gompers.

New York, Oct 27.--John D. Arch
bold Of the Standard Oil company,
speaking yesterday of the letters read
by W. R. Hearst on Saturday night in
Carnegie hall intimated that Hearst
or his agents had stolen from him GER
tain private letters concerning family
affairs: He said:
Il am very sure that until Hearst
read the letters neither Judge Morris
on nor Judge Henderson had any
knowledge of my having written Gov,
Stone in their behalf Judge Hender-
son was not appointed by Gov. Stone
to the Supreme court but was three
years later appointed by Gov Penny,
packer to a superior court judgeship.
IF, however, any feeble word Of
mine could have influenced in the,
slightest degree the selection Of those
gentlemen for their respective posit-
ions, would be very proud OF It.,
Their state has had no better servants
than they, and | certainly have never
asked Of them any favor of any kind,
either for myself or for the company
with which | am connected.
My letters to Gen. Elkin referring to,
accompanying drafts related entirely
TO contributions to the Republican
state committee, then engaged in the
campaign preliminary to the renomi-
nation of Mr. Mckinley, a subject re-
garding which | think Hearst would be
a little sensitive, for was 1t not the
election and tragic death of Mr. Nc
Kinley that came near costing Hearst
his precious neck?
The statement regarding Judge
Haight in connection with an old libel
that has been explained and exploded
so many times that it would be SIM
pie WEAKNESS TO the public to go over
it again.
The intimation by Hearst that he
| has had any communication from me
or from any Of my associates In con-
nection with the stolen letters is lie.
The only favor which | would ask,
or hope ever to ask Of Hearst Is that
he return me the letters handed him
by his larcenious gentleman friend
which were written from Japan relat-
ing to the fatal illness of my daughter
/ in that country"
