Mention this paper when writing. The owner of farm in Hanging Grove tp., which was recently visited by “night-riders,” or bee hunters, called at The Democrat office a few days ago and desired us to say that the mention made in the Rensselaer Republican of this affair, in which his son was mentioned as being Implicated in the matter, was Incorrect. His son merely caught the “riders” at their work, while he was returning from having taken some workmen to town, and the intimation that he"* had anything to do with cutting down the tree or swiping the honey, is without foundation. So far as The Democrat is concerned, it has no desire to meddle in such matters, and we only mention it now because special request was made that we do so.

"CAMPAIGN DREYFUS"

Broughton Brandenburg Arrested Charged with Forgery Re. That Cleveland Letter. HE MAKES A WARM PROTEST A«k» if He la To Be the Dreyfus of the Campaign. Was Not Running Away, He Says, but Was on His Way to New York, When Arrested— His Statement.

Dayton, 0., Ort. 23.—As he boarded a train for z New York city here Broughton Brandenburg was arrested by local detectives on the charge of forgery and grand larceny. A telegram from the New York city police department advised the local department to hold Brandenburg. He is alleged to have sold the New York Times a letter which lie represented to have been ’written by Grover Cleveland, in which the dead statesmen predicted the election of Taft, and which letter is now declared to have been a forgery. Brandenburg was locked up in the police •tation, as the amount of Lis bail was not fixed.

“Captain Dreyfus of the Campaign." Through his attorney, Brandenburg Issued the following statement: “It appears that I am to be the Captain Dreyfus of the campaign of 1908. I have been peculiarly alone, and am still alone, in my fight, and though ready to welcome the great body of support which the facts warrant me. if it does not come I shall go on alone. Is it reasonable that for the sake of the $l2O that would Lave been my profit after weeks of work any sane man in iny position would have falsified the utterances of an ex-president of the United States? Is is reasonable that when persons had seen the handwritten manuscript In my possession in March; that when I presented the scheme for the three*articles for sale in March, and when I sought the proper authority from Mrs. Cleveland and the co-execntor, Mr. Hastings, liefore I sold the single article, there could have ■been anything but fair dealing in my methods?

Asks a Few More Questions.

“Why was the alleged evidence that the document was fraudulent not pro. duced when the document was challenged. and why has it never been produced save in the secrets of the grand jury room? • • • Why have my witnesses been Intimidated? Why is an indictment found, if one has been found, before my case is in? Yesterday I wired District Attorney Jerome that I had new evidence to present on Friday, and as I stepped aboard the train for New York to fulfill my agreement, I am arrested as a fugitive from justice, though my attorney. Joseph Williams, and I myself had informed the district attorney of my purpose and destination on tills journey.

“Fits in with Watterson’s Plan.” “This allows those who are interested in offsetting the influence of Mr. Cleveland's utterance to secure a dramatic climax just before election. The entire matter is all fitting In nicely with Colonel Watterson's plan, announced before the article was published—it must be discredited by any means. It remains to be seen if the American public is to be bulldozed on one hand, while I am victimized on the other.”
