OKKSMAM ON Itftf/OltD.

NRW YOKK, Nov. 2.—Mr. Don M, Dickinson, chairman of the democratic national campaign committee. has received copies of the following statement and correspondence through ilon. Illuford Wilson, who was solicitor of the treasury during tho administration of President Grant. Tim Mtntement and Judge Grcsham's letter, which accompanies itt sets at rest all questions as to the fact and manner of the support of Cleveland aud Stevenson by that distinguished jurist: "To tho Public: The truth of the .statement made by myself and others that Judt'eUrcsham suid ho intended to vote for Mr. Cleveland at the ensuing election has been jrerslMcnily denied, not only by tho republican pre*s, but also by tho national republican committor and upou the stump. It 1h due to Judge Grcsham and his friends that the truth should be known, nnd I, therefore, take the responsibility of giving to the public his letter on the »7tii of October ad* dicsned to me. HI.UFOIID WILSON."

Judge Gregliam'tf Letter.

"To Hon. Uluford Wilson, Sprin rlleld. 311.— Dear Major: 1 have your letter of the iJIst instant. 1 did tell you a: £prliitfflcld thai after mature reflection I had determined to vote for Mr. Cleveland this fall, because I a^reo iu the main with hi." views on the tariff and did not bc'leve in the principles embodied in tho McKinley law. I adhere to that determination, and have said nothing indicating a change of purine. It is not true that with ray knowlodge or consent the president was nsked to appoint me to any ot'ilce. It is not truo thnt I requested any one to do anything to obtain the republican nomination this year. It is not true that 1 Voted for Mr. Cleveland in ISfc'S. 1 voted th"5 republican ticket at every precedential election since the narty was organized, exccpt in lfcH. vrhcu I wan not able to go to the polU. 0j('ti»ns to tho 3IeKinlcy Law "The republicans were pledged to a reduction of il.o war tariff lone before IS8S, aud during the campaign of that year tho pledge was renewed with emphasU again and again. Instead of kooping thai promise llit* McKinley law was passed, imposing still higher duties. It was passed iu the interest of the favored classes aud not for tho bonetlt of the whole people. It neither enhances the price of farm products nor benefit labor. Wages ure and ever will be regulated by supply and demand. Duties wore imposed upon somo urticlcB so us to destroy competition and fonter trusts and monopolists. I think you will agree with me that this was an abandonment ol the doctrinc of a moderate incidental protection. The tariff is now the most important question beforet he people, and, whatever others may do. I shall exercise tho rig^it of Individual judgment and vote according to my convictions.

think with you that a republican can vote for Mr. Cleveland without joining tho democratic part}*. How 1 shall vote in the future will depend upon the questions at issue. "Very truly yours, W. Q. OitEsitAM."

An AddresH by Cleveland.

Xbw YOKK* Nov. 2.—Grovcr Cleveland spoke before the Busiucss Men's Democratic association Tuesday night in the Lenox lyceutn, Madison avenue and Fifty-ninth street, devotiug his entire attention to charges that predictions of republican success were based upon the ability of that party to purchase the votes of the. people with money contributed by protected manufacturers. On this point he said:

Source of National Danger.

"A little reflection, it seem9 to me. cannot fail to arouse the American conscience to the wlckc'duesi» as well »s the peril of a debauched suffrage. It i* a plain propoaftion tlfct our government is only true to the principles upon which it rests whop, in its operation it represents the honest aud intelligent sentiments of the people. When it does not its vigor and its very life are goue, aud it remains but the mere semblance of a freo government—the weakest and most deformed plan of rule that over deludod mankind. It can then no longer defend the rights of all, becauso rights will bo forgottten in the capricious bestowal of favors. It will then no longer be the proud manifestation of the strength and virtue of a free people, bocausc It will only be the miserable instrument of craft and selfishness. Who of all those who believe our government was created to Mess American people and bene III mankind wUl deny that the corruption of our suffrage paves the way to these conditions. "The time ha* surely eoinc when those who see the beginning of this corruption shoul look beyond it nnd bencafh it in an endeavor to discover the source of our danger and the forces which givo it deadly strength. It has its source in the perversion of our government to the furtherance of limited and special interests and In the invitation thus extended to anticipate a continuance of governmental favor In compensation for partisan supoort. The forccs behind it are greed and selfishness, williug to prostitute tlie suffrage of the people to pecuniary gain. "In the light of these considerations there Is. nothing unnatural iu the situation of the pending canvass. When our countrymen yield to temptation and turn their backs upon tho broad aud disinterested patriotism that should characterize tbeir citizenship aud when they reach the poiut where they are willing to subordinate political duty to business gain, it is a short step to active participation in schemes of corruption having for their objcct the retention in power of the party by which unearned business profits are promised. Tho movement begins with the corruption by means of th"ae promises of the benellciarles themselves. They are thereafter willing Instruments for the corruption of others, instigated to activity by au obligation to aid the party which has favored them aud stimulated by the expectation of further especial benefits.

Covered by Pretext.

"This deal between a political party and private enterprise, by which government aid is promised in exchange for partisan support,

covered by the pretext of a care for the business Interests of the country. "While we readily concede the importance of theso interests, and while we hold that no political party should be. unmindful of them or heedless of their prosperity. we insist that no plea for their promotion shall be used to justify political methods which endanger the iutegrlty and beneficeuce of our institutions. "Since, therefore, the fair namo of our business interests has thus been used inadisreputa ble service, I have deemed it impropriate to call attention to these things In an assemblage gathered together under the auspices of a business men's club. It seems to bo peculiarly Ot-and proper that the patriotic busiucss men of our country should repudiate the suggestion that care for tho interests they have iu'their keeping can be an excuse for corrupt political practices they can toach with especial authori ty the lesson that business interests are safest under a fair administration of au honost and just government, representing the uubought suffrage of our people.

Mr. Reid, in his speech at the opera house, contrasted the attitude of the republican party and of the democratio party toward the protective tariff—the one, one of loyal support o£ the tariff the other of deadly hostility to it lie said that what specially gave him confidence that Mr. Harrison would bo clected was that the republican party was acting honestly with the American people. Protection, he said,.had brought-prosperity to the United States. Were the people dissatisfied with it? That was the main question for the people of the United States to decide at the polls.

Klnctnrs Must Serve.

The robber then commanded him to stop the train. Roirers pulled the bell cord in vain, as Kntrinoer

Green was making for Jacksonville, "If you don't stop it I'll kill you." said the robber to Rogers. "I can't," answered the, messenger, but about that time the robbers saw the side cord and pulled it, which put on the. air brakes.

William Miller. Albert Krumbachand Warret. Hill started from the eastern shoro Tuesday evening in a rowboat to cross the river. When 150 feet from the shore one of the men lighted his pipe and los»ed the blazing stick into the wnter. As the match fell a burst of flames shot up alongside tho skiff and almost instantly the surface around the boat was blazing fiercely. The flames of the burning oil licked the gunwales of the light craft, and the men. realizing that it would be quickly consumed, plunged into the burning fluid and tried to swim ashore. The tire circle grew larger and spread more rapidly than they could swim and they found that they were being roasted alive, Hill sank beneath the blazing surface nnd w'as seen no more but his two companions by repeatedly diving aud swimming beneath the surface succeeded in reaching the shore, ltoth men were horribly burned about tho shoulders, ilea:!, face and arms. The lire spread down the river. The wrecking steamer Maryland caught fire and was damaged to the extent of S 1.0,000. Streams of water from several engines ami tugs finally put the burning oil out.
