APPEAL TO TRUE DEMOCRATS TO STAND TOGETHER AGAINST THE PERIL OF DU VAX ISM. An Addre Which Mr. Cleveland Aptly Say He Would Xot Xoy Change if He Conld. C pedal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, OcL CO.-Dcmocratlc roorbacks are coming thick and fast. First there were bins circulars attributing to Governor Roosevelt words he never uttered and which he promptly nailed as malicious falsehoods. Then there was a despicable attempt by a "yellow" reporter in the eraploy of organs of the "yellow" party to make Senator Scott, of West Virginia, a "Burchard," charging him with certain ut terances on the trust question at a private dinner, and which he promptly denounced as a fabrication. Now comes the Philadel phla Times, a raMd Bryanlte organ, with an outrageous fake, which former President Cleveland calls an "absolute lie." This last roorback Ks about as discreditable as aryihlrif mif!TtTtlI'wcent years. It is in the shape of an alleged Interview, In which the former President is quoted as saying there would bo a landslide for Mr. Bryan the morning after election. The "fake" interview was printed in nearly every Bryanlte newspaper this morning. Later in the day scores of telegrams poured Into Princeton, N. J., the home of Mr. Cleveland, calling his attention to the interview and asking him tor a confirmation or denial of the story. Mr. Cleveland answered in the following words: "The whole thing from beginning to end is an absolute lie, without the least foundation or a shadow of truth. I have never uttered a word to any human being that affords the least pretext fr such a mendacious statement. I have already telegraphed the Philadelphia Times to this effect." The fake interview so strongly denounced by Mr. Cleveland is alleged to have been telegraphed to the Philadelphia Times from Princeton, N. J. It is labeled "Special," and reads as follows: "Grover Cleveland, former President, In an Interview with a representative of the Times to-day, predicted a landslide for William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic candidate for President. He advanced several reasons for this. The great Democratic statesman fought shy of any reference to the political situation. He urged that he no longer takes any active Interest In polities and is content to quietly look cn. Then the conversation turned to the conditions in the West, and after a little reminiscent talk Mr. Cleveland said: 'My young man, you will see a landslide for Bryan the morning after election. Of this I am confident.' 'To this Mr. Cleveland's interrogator reTUed that the Indications, according to the Ceputllcan leaders, were favorable to McKinley, but he ouickly retorted: 'Of courso they are. That is policy. What I tell you is my private opinion. 'There was no doubt concerning the former President's sincerity in his expressed belief, and when asked what reasons h had for so thinking he continued: J.OU do not understand the conditions. There are elements all over the country at work which it would bo impossible to draw into lino for McKinley, in tho first piace, union labor Is for Bryan. Of recent years that organization has been a factor in politics and it certalnjy is not favorable to the Interests of car-ital. The traveling men are for Bryan. These men, who are a small army, are of opinion that the Republican party Is tho protector of corporations and by the amalgamation of Industrial interests many of them have been thrown out of employment. In the Northwest, in Minnesota, in Dakota and Iowa there are many Hollanders. Sympathy for the Boers, who are their own flesh and blood, will Induce them to support Bryan. See If I am not correct. 1 have no deshe to be drawn Into any controversy over the results of tho election, but if the Republican managers honestly think that President McKinley will be re-elected it Is my opinion they are mistaken. They do not know the situation.' "Further than this Mr. Cleveland refused to discuss the campaign. He said that Mr. Bryan Is a remarkable orator and has a, magnetic personality which is responsible for his tremendous popularity I asked him what the effect of an oratorical campaign Is. He said: Well, for a man who can talk as Bryan does it is a successful method. For a candidate who is not an orator it would be a dismal failure Mr.-Cleveland said that in spite of his political inactivity ho had been sought by representatives of all the leading papers, who were apparently eager to obtain his opinion of the situation. He has refused because, as he said to-day. "I am cut of active polltica. " STRONG AGAINST BRYAN. ör. Cleveland Refers Don M. Dickinson to Ilia Sp-cch of April, 1807. CpciaJ to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. Oct. SO. That Orover Cleveland could not be the author of such words as were attributed to him in the Philadelphia Times to-day, is evidenced by

the following letter to Don M. Dickinson, his former postmaster general: "PRINCETON, Oct. 2D. The lion. Don M. Dickinson: "My Dear Sir The speech I made at tho Reform Club dinner in April. 1)7, is a part of ray record in advocacy of true Democracy. I cannot suppress it or abate from it, and I would not if I could. I shall not object to any use you may see fit to make of It. Yours sincerely, "GROVER CLEVELAND." The speech referred to by Mr. Cleveland was delivered at the Reform Club dinner in this city April 21. 1807. In it Mr. Cleveland

denounced Uryardsm in unmeasured terms. Mr. Cleveland now authorizes it as an expression of his present views. The speech as printed in the Journal at the time it was delivered is here given: "We are gathered here to-night as patriotic citizens, anxious to do something toward reinstating the prosperity of our fellow countrymen, and protecting the fair fame of our Nation against shame and scandal. "On every side we are confronted with popular depression and complaint. These are largely due to causes of natural and certain recurrence, the inevitable accompaniments of all human endeavor, and perhaps they are largely due to the work of agitators and demagogues. who have busily sowed the seeds of discontent hoping that in the harvest they may reap personal advantage. "Distressing Ills, real and imaginary, have been so constantly and luridly presented to the minds of honest men that they are tempted to accept without taking counsel of reason or Judgment any nostrum cunningly offered as a remedy for their low condition. BREED CLASS HATRED. "But even so promising a field as this his not satisfied the designs of ruthless agitators. ' "While scattering the J.eeds of discontent they have also cultivated a growth of sectional and class suspicion and distrust, which threatens to choke or destroy that fraternal feeling which leads to considerate counsel in the day of common misfortune, and which is absolutely essential to the success of our plan of government. 'The fundamental truth that our free Institutions offer opportunities to all within their influence, for the advancement and Improvement of their conditions, has been so far denied that honest accumulation is called a crime and the necessity and habit of individual effort and struggle, which are the mainsprings of sturdy Americanism, are decried as unjustifiable burdens, while unwholesome paternalism Is presented in handsome end inviting garb. "Those enlisted in this crusade of discontent and passion, proclaiming themselves the friends of the people, ex clude from that list all their countrymen. except those most unfortunate or unrea sonable, and those w.hoin they themselves (CONTINUED ON THIRD PAGE.)

BRIBERY TRIED

MONROE COUNTY DE3IOCRATS ATTE3IPTED IT AT DLOOSIIXGTOX. They Secured Receipts for One Dollar Kncli to He lird as Intimidation Clnbs on Election Day. PROMPTLY NIPPED IN THE BUD REPUBLICAN' OFFICIALS ADVISED EARLY OF THE PLAN. Plotter Forced to Cease the Subver sion of the Franchise and Promise Destruction of Receipts. TRI-STATE RALLY AT ANGOLA SENATOR BEVERIDGE ADDRESSES THOUSANDS OF LOYAL AMERICANS. Fairbanks and Landls Speak Durbin, YVntson and Chaney at Greenfield Other Bis Meeting. Fpecial to the Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Oct. CO. There was much excitement in the city to-day over the' desperation of the Democracy, and it is evident that Croker's $50,000 barbel already is on tap in Bloomlngton. Yesterday there was a commotion that led Republicans to believe that a scheme was in operation to either corrupt or intimidate a certain class. Last night the secret became known, when a colored voter, unsolicited, came to Republican headquarters and stated that he had been given $1 in money, for which he had signed a receipt, of the contents of which he was not entire ly sure, it was discovered this morning that a deliberate plan had been made to secure signed receipts from ignorant voters, which it was evidentlj' the intention to pre sent at the polls when they offered to vote and challenge them upon the grounds that they had accepted a bribe. I In the meantime It was discovered that the signing of receipts had become general, and that fifty or more men had been secured at U each to enter Into an obligation to vote the Democratic ticket. The plan in detail was as follows: An unsuspecting voter was approached by a Democratic worker and asked if he wanted to make something election day. Upon the assurance that he did he was offered 1 with t,he promise that if he would go to Democratic headquarters on election morning $5 more was awaiting him; however, it woulde-necessariao,w for him to sign a receipt that Ire had received the $1. ' Such affidavits were made by several voters, and are now in posses sion of Republicans. The object was to se cure a written contract from the unsus pecting man, and then, on election morn ing, present it when he went to vote, challenge him and have him refused the right to vote because of his having ac cepted a bribe. A meeting of prominent Republicans was at once called and .the facts discussed. It was decided to not tolerate such fraud, and, headed by Nat U. Hill, Republican central committeeman of the Second dis trict; J. B. Wilson, county chairman; W. T. Hicks and other leading Republicans, it was decided to go with the men who had been imposed on and assure them pro tection in demanding of the Democratic schemers who had induced them to sign tb? receipts that ' they cither destroy or deliver tho receipts to the persons by whom they had been signed. Both men who had been parties to this bribery were faced by their accusers and acknowledged that they had secured the receipts. They were then given to understand the meaning of the United States statutes as ,to in timidation and bribery, whereupon they made the statement that all the receipts and all evidence connected therewith would be destroyed. The Republicans gave them to under stand that a number of affidavits had been made and signed, and that they proposed to proceed upon the evidence .in hand, without hesitation, if there was any further Intimidation. Upon the promise that there would be no further steps in such a direction the matter has been allowed to rest. The discovery and the sudden collapse of the effort at corruption have created much talk and convinced Republicans that boodle has been raised and will flow freely from now until after the election. FAIRBANKS AND LAXOIS. They Address an Enthusiastic Audience nt Cravrfordsville. . Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Oct. SO. Senator C. W. Fairbanks addressed an immense audience at Music Hall this afternoon. Before tho speaking there was a parade several blocks long of tho different city clubs, Rough Rider clubs and fife and drum corps. At the hall John C. Wingate presided, and in a short speech introduced Mr. Fairbanks, who spoke for over an hour to an audience that filled every seat. Many, also, had to stand through the entire time. He discussed the issues comprehensively, and frequent applause punctuated his remarks. At the conclusion of his speech he and C. B. Landls shook hands with nearly everybody in the hall, the scene resembling an old-time Methodist love feast. To-night Mr. Landls spoke In the same hall and an immense crowd was present, Mr. Landls being very popular in this city, where he has many friends dating from his college days here. . - TRI-STATE RALLY AT ANGOLA. Mr. Deverldge Addresses Indiana, Ohio and Michigan Republicans. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANGOLA, Ind., Oct. GO. Senator Beveridge's meeting In Angola to-day was the big event of the campaign in Steuben county. There was a great outpouring of people, many being here from Lagrange and Dekalb counties and from adjacent parts of Michigan and Ohio. The attendance was estimated at between $,000 and 0.000' Among the unique features of a long parade was a large platform wagon

tearing a well-loaded dining table, around

which sat a large family eating a bountiful dinner, and overhead was a banner announcing, "No more frej soup houses for us." Another wagon bore an assortment of big mill saws, upon which mill hands beat a tattoo, with a banner, "We have all the work we can do," and follow ing that came tlx big teams hauling logging trucks. The speaking was from a covered platform, 6n a mount In the center of the public square, and Senator N. W. Gilbert presided. After a short address by W. R. Langford, "The Sandhill Poet," of Nebraska, Senator Beveridge spoke an hour and a half. He was at his best, and his logic and oratory held his vast audience, extending as far as his voice could be heard, spellbound from start to finish. It was a cogent presentation of reasons why McKinley prosperity should be continued. Many Democrats heard it, and most of them complimented the senator by saying he was fair, and that he didn't abuse them. Half a dozen bands and several glee clubs furnished an abundance of music, and prosperity enthusiasm was at hlgn tide all day. . 'TREASONABLY PARTISAN.' Anderson Soldier's Characterisation of the Eryanlc Utterances. Special to the Indianapoll Journal. ANDERSON. Ind.. Oct. 30. Capt. Kenneth Burr, of this city, who Is serving in Company D, Thirtieth Infantry, in the Philippines, has written home interesting features of the service. Of great interest to the voters is his comment on the political significance of the present contest, as related to their position in the Islands. Captain Burr Is very conservative, and what he says is, therefore, glveti careful consideration. Among other things he said: "But this question over here is not settled yet, and unless things change or more troops arrive to hold what we are in possession of the work may have to be done over aga in.

He Will Continue, However, to De Prime Minister and May Dictate Britain's Foreign Policy. AN UNCONFIRMED REPORT THAT LORD LANSDOWXE "WILL FILL THE VACANT POST. Salisbury's Health Said to Give No Cause for Anxiety Ills Lordship Holds a Conference. LONDON, Oct. 31. The following Important announcement appears this morning in the Daily Telegraph: "We understand that, after mature consideration, Lord Salisbury has decided to resign the foreign secretaryship, which will be transferred to the Marquis of Lansdowne. Although the health of the prime minister gives no cause for anxiety, we believe that he is largely influenced by the counsels of his medical advisers." Referring editorially to the appointment of the Marquis of Lansdowne to the Foreign Office, the Dally Telegraph approves it, "especially In view of the fact that Lord Salisbury's influence will still preside over the foreign policy of Great Britain." Lord Salisbury camo to London yesterday and paid a long visit to the Foreign Office, where he received Lord Lansdowne, and after him tho Duke of Devonshire. In the afternoon he held the customary reception of members of the diplomatic corps, among those present being M. be Staal, the Russian ambassador; M. Paul Cambon, the French ambassador, Count Von Hatzfeldt-Wlldenburg, the German ambassador, and Mr. Choatc, the United States ambassador. He remained until a late hour at the Foreign Office and then went direct to Hatfield House. There is little doubt that the Dally Telegraph's information is correct. The appointment of Lord Lansdowne, whoso control of the War Office has been so severely condemned, will probably causo some dissatisfaction. The Times confirms the statement of tho Dally Telegraph that Lord Salisbury will give up the Foreign Office portfolio, but it does not name his successor. NASTY COLLEGE BOYS Invaded Girls Dormitory In Xlsht Robes and Tied a Cow In Hall. ALLIANCE, O., Oct. CO. Three students of Mount Union College were suspended to-day for participating in a midnight demonstration when a crowd of students clad In night robes entered the ladies' dormitory and pushed the president's cow Into an upper hall where they tethered it.

CHOKER URGES THAT IT BE APPLICU TO THE WHOLE COI'XTIIY. Advice from Bryan's Dear Friend," Which, if Heeded, Would Lead to Dangerous Riots. INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE DE3IOCRATS URGED TO SEIZE THE POLLS iE-T TUESDAY If They Think Bryan Has Xot a Majority of the Voles in the Ballot Boxe. COL. ROOSEVELT'S REMARKS SAYS CROKER DOES XOT SEEM TO REALIZE WHAT HE SAID. If His Advice Hears Fruit He Will Be and Accessory Before the Fact 31cGuIre's Claims. ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. SO.-Governor Roosevelt was shown this afternoon Mr. Croker's statement running as follows: "My advice to Democratic voters the country over is to congregate about the polling places on the evening of election day, count noses and then if the election returns for Bryan, do not tally with their count, to go Into the polling places and throw those fellows in charge of the returns into the street." Governor Roosevelt said: "Mr. Croker seems not to understand that if this incitement to riot and mob violence at the polls should bear fruit he woud be an accesory before the fact. The election laws, like all other laws, apply to Mr. Croker, and to everyone else; and Mr. Croker and everyone else must and will obey them." After quoting Croker's utterances as given above, a dispatch from New Y'ork says: This startling recommendation which was made by Richard Croker at Tammany Hall during the course of a talk on several subjects, caused politicians In general to open their eyes, and many compared it with David B. Hill's remark of some months ago, when, in a speech referring to McCullough's deputies, he said: , "If any man attempts to stop you from voting take a club and knock him down." Mr. Croker's remarkwas in answer to a query concerning the political outlook, and especially with regard to Bryan's chances In New York State. The Tammany chieftain requested the publication of his advice on this particular subject. "Bryan will not only carry New Y'ork State," said Mr. Croker, "but he will carry It by a big majority, and he will run the same way all over the country. Ho will be elected as certain as his name is Bryan. I never felt so confident of a thing in my life. Of course, the Republicans arc going to resort to all. kinds of tricks and crookedness to cheat him out of tho election. I know this to be true, and that is why the Democrats want to be on the alert. They are going to buy votes, and those they can't buy they are going to pay to stay at home. But they are going to try something worse than that. They are going to try not to count thousands of Democratic votes, and this is what wc have got to look out for. Every man who votes for Bryan should see that his vote is counted, and there is only one way to do that safely." Then followed his advice to Democratic voters to "count noses" and "throw those fellows in charge of the returns Into the street." "This cheating," he resumed, "won't be attempted so much In the cities as in coun try towns, and that is where tho voters want to watch out. Bryan has got th Republicans on tho run, and they won't stop at anything to do him." BPGUIRE'S CLAIMS. Democratic Chairman Says Ilryan Will Cnrry New York State. NEW YORK, Oct. 30. Executive Chair man James K. McGulre, of the Democrat lc stale committee, gave out to-night the first estimate from the Democratic state committee on how the State would go. He said: 1 "Our canvass of the State gives Bryan 50,000 majority), 'and it also shows that the Republicans will not come to the Bronx with more than 70,000 majority. I have re fralned from making any statements here tofore until our canvass was completed. This estimate of our canvass is a very con servative one." Views of Mr. Dryan. DUNKIRK, N. Y., Oct. 30.-Before lcav Ing here to-night Mr. Bryan made a brief statement, giving his Impressions of the situation in New York. He said: "If the reports which come from the various coun ties where polls have been made can be taken as representing the general, eenti ment throughout the State we have more than an even chance of carrying the State. OPPOSE ANNEXATION. People of the Danish West Indies Ob ject to Americanization. ST. THOMAS, D. W. I.. Oct 30.-At an extraordinary meeting of the Colonial Council at St. Croix, Danish West Indies. on Monday, the vice chairman denounced the statements made by A. J. Blackwood, the United StateSConsul at St. Croix, and chairman of the Colonial Council, in an interview printed in New York Oct. 25, in which Mr. Blackwood was quoted as say ing the sentiment of the people of the Danish West Indies is strongly in favor of annexation. The vice chairman said the al legations made were opposed to the facts In the case and that Mr. Blackwood spoke without the council's authority. A resolution was adopted to cable King Chrlitlan of Denmark, "submissively expressing" the wish of the inhabitants to continue under the Danish crown and expressing the belief that annexation to the United States would be against the wishes of a majority of the inhabitants. Some of the members protested against the passage

ot tho resolution, but the vice chairman overruled them.

There was a torchlight procession Mon day night styled 'The people's protest.' A very large and orderly crowd, headed by a band of music, marched through the town. The houses were decorated with Danish flags and the processionists dispersed cheering for Denmark. WHAT M'KINLEY DID. Visited a Worklnjrmcn's Clubhouse and Received School Teacher. CANTON. O.. Oct.

Y., Oct. 30.-When Governor Roosevelt's train arrived here tonight the party found great crowds, both, at the depot and the two halls, and a splendid greeting was accorded the vlca presidential candidate. Thero was an immense parade of clubs and business men'a associations, and both auditoriums whera Governor Roosevelt spoke were filUd to overflowing. Besides an enthusiastic gathering at Corning, the home of the club that was assaulted at Elmira last night, tho only incident of the day occurred at Geneva, where there was an attempt made to prevent the Governor from speaking. When Geneva was reached, at 5:30 o'clock, the Governor was driven to an open stand a few blocks from the depot, where he had to stand in the rain while the local committee sent word to stop the blowing of the whistles, which word of his arrival had started and which still continued. Judging from tho applause, tho pcoplu were largely with him. but there were a number on the outskirts of the crowd, and especially in the windows of some buildings opposite the stand, who, assisted by the usual crowd of small boys, did what they could to interrupt liim. The only cry that was Intelligible from the stand was "Hurrah for Bryan!" "Why?" said the Governor. "Because he is for Dick Croker? Because he is afraid to say what he will do about free silver? Does the gentleman say 'hurrah for Bryan because he wants to haul down the flag? Is that the reason be tays 'hurrah for BryanT "Now, gentlemen," continued the Governor, raising his voice so as to be heard, above the turbulent cries which still continued, "I want to say ono thing to you here. There Is ono thing more important than any difference of policy amon;r Americans, and that Is the keeping of cur own self-respect Whenever you fcc party that tries to Interrupt a public speak cr you may be sure It is because they dam noi hear the truth. Mr. Bryan comes to , this State, and I am rroud to tee he is"j listened to with respectful attention wherJ ever he goes, no matter how much people may differ from him in opinion. The worst reflection that can bo cast on the follower, of Mr. Bryan Is cast on them by their own; . actions when they try to break up an or- 4 derly meeting and try to interrupt free! speech, and when they do it they fcurt noj ono but themselves." AN APPEAL TO TIH3 FLAG. "Gentlemen," continued tho Governor. 'Ti appeal to you for the honor of that flag." indicating a largo American flag which; was on the stand, but he was Interrupted by renewed shouts of "hurrah for Bryan.'" "Gentlemen." said the Governor, "I want you to reflect what a pretty poor showing you make when you try to interrupt an appeal to the flag." This remark caused Ihm nolso to diminish Fomcwbat, but it wns soon renewed and continued until the Governor finished his remarks. A great many ot tho disturbers, as in other places, wero boys, but those In the windows of the bulMing3 were men, one of them having a megaphone. Some small boys followed the train as it moved away, calling: "What about the canals?" At Canandagua. where a good rized crowd had gathered despite the fact that It was raining hard and the train was s.bout a half hour late, the Governor addressed his audience on the subject of prosperity and on the trust question. He said: "Prosperity, like this rain, falls on the just ard unjust. It is falling here on the Jut. at tills moment, but still it Is falling on th unjust, as Mr. Bryan is making a tour of the State also." It was after 9 o'clock when the Governor's train rolled Into Rochester, the wet tracks and slderoads delaying the party. The Governor proceeded at once to tha halls where the speaking was to take piace. He discussed In the same general way that he has at other points, trusts anfl Imperialism, and made a new I.sue here, answering In a certain way Mr. Croktr's allusions to the lack of opportunity for young men In this country. REPLY TO CROKER. He said In part: "There has been much talk, and I fear by no means sincere talk, on the r.art of our antagonists, recently, to the effect that tho young man has now little chance in America. Well, gentlemen, most of us here In this meeting ho ar of middle age. have sons and when this is tho case. It may be eet down as certain that we are deeply conc'tT.ed m to the future welfare of thoe t-ons, I .k every lather here to answer to himself the eviration whether he would prefer hts toy tD start In life with the prospect of Crjtnlrj
