Tne‘ Governor proceeded at once to the halls| where the speaking was to take place. | He @iscussed in the general way that he has at other points the trusts and im-| perialism and made a new issue here, an- | swering in & certain way Mr. Croker's | aliusion to the lack of opportunity for young men in this country. He sald in| part: ““There has been much talk, and I fear | by no means sincere talk, on the part of our antagonists recently to the effect that the young man has now little chance in | work. Well, gentlemen, most of us here | n this meeting who are of middle-age | have sons, and when this is the case it | may be set down as certain that we are deeply concerned as to the future wel- fare of those sons. I ask every father here to answer to himself the question whether he would prefer his boy to start life with the prospect of Bryanism | ahead of him or with the prospect of the | continuance of the present policies. Merely to put the question in this way i= enough to show the absurdity of the | clatm made by our opponents. “Bryanism means widespread and far- reaching business calamity and disaster, and therefore it necessarily means grind- ing poverty for the many, and even for the few more fortunate anxiety and busi- ness disaster. “It is & mere axiom that a young man’s chances are best in a community where there is general prosperity. It is equally an axiom that in a time of great business depression a young man’s business hances are at & minimum. As a matter of fact, there is no other country in the world to-day which begins to offer the chances to young men that America of- ts. s.

Former President Did Not Say There Would Be a Landslide for Bryan. PRINCETON, N. J, Oct. 30.—Grover | Cleveland was indignant when he learned that he had been quoted as having pre- dicted a landslide for Bryan. The discred- ited statements were printed in large type the first page of the Philadelphia Times. A special correspondent of that | paper, signing the initials “B. J. B.,” de- clared that the former President had ex- pressed the belief that McKinley would not be re-elected. The reasons assigned, | among others, were that unfon labor is on Bryan's side, the traveling salesmen are now with him and many Hollanders in the West and Northwest are opposed to McKinley on account of his attitude dur- | ing the Boer war. | When Mr. Cleveland’s attention was called to these allegations this afternoon he sgid: “It is an unmitigated falsehood— lie from beginning to end. Make my denial unqualified and as emphatic as pos- sible. It cannot be too strong. Why, I would not be fool enough to say such things: they do not represent my. senti- ments." The Interviewer mentioned his a briet | note to his former Postmaster General, Don M. Dickinson. “Yes, my record is there,” remarked Mr, Cleveland. “Dickinson communicated with me, and in reply I said substantially that my sentiments had not changed since I made that speech. Some one had the en- terprise to look up the speech. While 1 do not say that what is now published is exactly what I sald, I may say that if the peech is correctly quoted it contains my views as they then were and as they now are. It is a part of my record, and I have no desire to change it.” Mr. Cleveland was informed that it was reported in Princeton that the alleged in- terview had been written or inspired by an elderly man who had spent a few days at the Nassau Hotel, ana who had actu- ally called upon him and seen him. “Do you recall the person who told you | that he was from Nebraska?' was asked. “Well,” said the former President, ere was a decrepit old creature at my house the other day. He represented that he was from Nebraska and a great friend of J. Sterling Morton. On Mr. Morton's account I received him, and we chatted possibly ten minutes—no more. He was very deaf. I spoke to him about Mr. Mor- ton’s attitude in the present campaign and he did not seem to kmow anything about it. .So I concluded that there must be something wrong and he could scarcely be as intimate with Mr. Morton as he wished to appear, and I cut the conver- sation short.” ity AROUSING CLASS HATRED. Bryan and Kll_l'.un.pn Realize | Their Issues Have Failed. CHICAGO, Oct. 3.--Chairman Hanna said to-night it was evident to him that the Bryan managers had abandoned every issue to arouse class hatred and create suspicion as to the honesty of the elec- tion. “It is not mere coincidence that Bryan, Croker, Jones and Carter Harrison should all break loose at the same time to talk about election frauds,” he said. “Croker is quoted In the morning papers as ad- vising the Democrats in every election precinct to remain at the polling place after the election, count noses and then, if the judges of election did not make the returns that agreed ~with the count, to go into the polling place and throw the judges into the street. “At the same time Jones and Harrison gave out bombastic statements here in Chicago about preparation to compel the Republicans to give a fair count of the returns. I say these things did not hap- pen as a mere coincidence. They bear all the evidence of a plain understanding between Croker and the Democratic lead- eers in Chicago. These things are the de- velopment of Bryan's campaign of hate, which he began at Salem, Iil., three weeks ago, when he charged that the Republi- cans were determined to secure the elec- tion of their candidate by corrupting voters and by coercion and fraud. 3 oubtedly the extraordinary devel- | we are in | destroying all prosper- | BRYAN IGNORES THE PROTEST D OF UNION WORKMEN AND FILLS HIS PURSE BY CHEAP LABOR The Democratic Impostor Chooses a Notorious Enemy of Union Labor as Publisher of His Profitable Books. | SLN JAMES K JONES, Crarmnam, weSNINGTON0C D CLAYTON.

Iide ot DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE, TO A HE workingmen of the United States, represented in one of their most powerful organizations, have determined to expose one of the most gigantic and shameful de- | ceptions which Willlam Jennings Bryan is | making in his campaign for the Presi- | dency. In all his torrent of talks Bryan has told what he wanted: to do for the workingmen of the country and what he | would do if he had the power. He has denounced = vigorously, persistently and constantly the injustices of grinding em- ployers. He has given mouthing support |to unionism, high wages and honestly | puld labor. He has drawn all sorts of | warning lessons from low wages, non- | unfonism and the oppression of working- men through trusts and - unscrupulous in- | atviduals. The very life of Bryan's cam- | paign has been nourished in these repre- | sentations. Workingmen- have listened to" these | falsehoods until silence is no longer bear- table. While Bryan has been shouting his | wish to help union labor and ‘encourage | the honest assoclations of workingmen he has been patronizing and employing non- unfon workmen, giving into the hands of | non-union employers the money and the | power with which to fight organized labor. ‘While Bryan, the agitator, has been de- | nouncing the employers of cheap labor he | has been receiving the money which came | to him as the profits of cheap labor. | While he has been pointing out the hor- rors of a degradation of American work- ingmen he has been growing rich through | the schemes by which American labor is degraded. He Las accepted the only op- portunity he ev-y¥ had-in his life to em- ploy - not honestly paid labor but poorly pald non-union labor, and his oftense has been on a scale gigantic'éncugh to call forth a protest, from those whose cause he is ceeking to destroy, but whose votes he asks under misrepresentation and the cheapest of frauds. In defiance of protest Bryan has con- tinyed this policy which means so much more money for him. He has called to his ald the assistance of United States Senator Jones, chairman of the Demo- cratic National .- Committee, to deceive workingmen and misrepresent the facts. Bryan has given his solemn promise that he would cease his attack upon unionism and then has given into the hands of the enemies of unionism the weapons with which to continue the battle. Exposes Bryan’s Self-Interest. Organized labor, suffering in silence un- der this deception, has decided at last to expose the facts which reveal Bryan in his private patronage, encouragemert, support and employment of cheap labor. The facts cannot be denied, for they have beén admitted even by United States Sen- ator Jones and by Bryan himself. Willlam Jennings Bryan has been an employer of labor only as a publisner of books. He says he has become rich sim- ply because people have read his books and they did not have to read them un- less they wanted to do so. These books are the product of “scab’ labor, emplo;cd by William Jennings Bryan with a full knowledge of what he was doing and in N SECRET INDORSEMENT GIVEN BY UNITED STATES SENATOR JONES, CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL HBOOK OF BRYAN'S WRITINGS, PUBLISHED BY A NOTORIOUS MY OF UNION LABOR AND PRINTED AND BOUND BY PAUPER LABOR. —_— the face of a protest from union labor. These books have been printed and issued by a firm which has béen notoriously in opposition to union labor and which has devoted great sums of money to an effort to destroy all organizations of labor. Yet Bryan has made most of his money through the employment of cheap labor. He has become rich because bindery girls were forced to labor upon his books for the miserable pittance of $150 a week; because printers, pressmen and book- binders were forced to toil for $ to $10 a week in the preparation of = Bryan's promises of what he would do for labor 1f he had the power. Organized labor has determined to expose these facts, which smell of the cruelest deceit and double- dealing. ‘When Willlam Jennings Bryan went home four years ago a defeated candi- date he decided that something more sub- stantial than the honor of defeat should be his and he determined to write a book for profit. With that foresight which characterizes his financlal contracts he insisted- upon receiving the lion's share of the proceeds. Late in 1596 it was an- rounced that he would write a copyright- ed book to be called “The First Battle " The price was first fixed at $1 a copy, but later it was raised to $150 a copy. It was expected that millions of coples would be sold to the advantage of tne Bryan coffers and the treasury of the Na- (Continued on Page Two.) REPU | | Porm o, 148, ‘21,000 OFFICES w-5192 CH. GJ.

Still M NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—All the efforts of | the authorities are now directed to clean- | ing away the ruins of the Tarrant and other bulldings wrecked by the great ex- | plosion of yesterday in the desire to find how many bodies are buried in them and | to ascertain the cause of the explosion. The efforts of the searchers for the dead | were rewarded to-day by the finding of‘ the Temains of H. C. A. Sci.midt of Brook- lyn, and the discovery of what seem to be the bodies of three other people. Bchmidt was an engraver and had an of- fice on the first floor of 101 Warren street. The body could be seen pinned down un- | der a mass of twisted iron, but could not be got out to-night. The identification was made by a nephew of Schmidt. | At the northwest corner of the Tarrant bullding, at Warren and Greenwich streets, a mass of clothing and indiscrim- | inate articles was discovered, and the | mass was said to be the bodles of three | people. The firemen weént to work with a will, and to-night brought to light a| portion of a woman's foot and the top of a crushed-in skull. The skull had long brown hair attached and is supposedly that of a woman. | During the day Superintendent Dooner had.a very large force of men working as hard as possible tearing down piles of de- bris and removing it. The fire burned all day, and foward night was practically to | the end of the mass of debris at Wash- | ington and Warren streets. The fire ex- | tends back some distance and is burning fiercely. One hundred and eighty patrolmen un- | der Captain Westervelt and Insfictor | Brooks were stationed at the ruins at 6| o'clock, relleving the day force. Both In- | spector Brooks and Captain Westervelt were skeptical over the reported large loss | of life. They both said they did not ex- | pect more than four or five bodies would | be found in the ruins. | Playing on the still burning ruins were | four engines, and they kept their streams | going continuously. A revised list made to 12 o'clock to-night shows thirty persons still mfssing. At 10:30 o'clock a portion of a human trunk, probably the abdomen, was dug out, and a little later a brown canvas | coat. There was nothing in the pockets | but four quill toothpicks. Still later the | firemen found another portion of a skull | and a portion of a human back. Just be- | fore midnight a workman found a black | cheviot coat in the exact spot where the | human remains were found. In the pock- ets were 4 cents and an application for | membership in the West End Republican | Club. Shortly afterward in the same place | an unrecognizable mass of human flesh | was found. A half-foot was also found In | this place. Dr. Cromer of the Health Department, who examined the remains, said they were | probably all from the same person, as | were the foot and a portion of a skull | found earlier. The remains were all found in the Tarrant building. Following is a revised list of the miss- ing: Phillp Amand, clgar-maker; James Al- ken; Mary Bradley, employed in printing | office; Ira C. Barnes, egg dealer; Francis | Parnes, egg candler; James Cruger, em- | ployed as packer; Kate Callaghan, em- ployed by Tarrant & Co.; Isaac Cohen, truck driver: Mrs. Ella M.

Victor Hugo Mathusek, the piano man- vfacturer, is safe and uninjured. Charles Francis Buckley, son of the pro- prietor of the Home Made Hotel, satd to- day that when the explosion occurred twelve men and women, known as the “nfght shift,” were asleep on the top floor of the hotel. There were also many men and women who live out of the city who were registered at the hotel. No one mn New York knows whether these patrons escaped or not, because few if any of them have relatives or friends heve. Of the employes who were asleep the women were Irish and German girls who have recently come to this country. They have no friends, no home outside of the hotel and there is no -one to inquire for them if they are missing. Far into the night while the work of digging continued hundreds of men, wo- men arnd children with anxious faces pushed against the police lines and begged admittance. The bureau of information established at the Leonard street station ‘'was nothing to these anxious folk. The promise made them by the sergeant to let them know when there was news, either good or bad, did not satisfy their grief. All through the day and into the wet night these anxious men, women and chii- dren stood, growing more anxious as time passed. - ‘It was the conviction to-day of not only | hurling a steel Police Say Only Four or Five Per=- sons Perished, but Thirty Are issing. W. C. Allen, treasurer of Tarrant & Co., that the tremendous explosion was caused by gases generated from chemicals by the heat of the fire. There was one im- Pportant point of difference, however. The officers of Tarrant & Co. declared they } @id not have stock in sufficient quantities of chemicals of any explosive character to cause the great damage. Their con- tention is that the fire caused all of thetr varied stock of drugs to vaporize and that the resultant gas did the stupendous work of destruction. The fire department offi- cials do not belleve that the ordina stocks of drugs and chemicals of a whole- sale druggist could under any condition develop an explosive force capable of and stone seven-story building iInto the air and crumbling up five other big bulldings. The theory Is gaining ground that the explosion was caused by the action of waters and other chemicals on a great quantity of chlorate of potash stored in the building. EXPLOSION OF GAS OCCURS IN MINE Five Men Killed and Five Others Fatally Injured in Shaft of nngfion Company. WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 30.—A heavy explosion of gas occurred on slope No. 3 of No. 1 shaft of the Kingston Coal Company at Edwardsville at 3 o'clock this afternoon in which three men lost their lives and six others were badly burned. Five of the six injured are m a precarious condition and it is doubtful if they can survive. The names of the dead are: $ Y\ PETER USOVIGE. FRANK MACKALOHSKL ! JOHN DOLAN. i Those believed to be fatally injured are. Michael Gatorski, Adam Lotoski, Andrew Ratooukiski, John Bucho and David Evans. When these men were brought to the surface by the rescuers their skin hung in shreds from their bodies. The work of rescue was dangerous, as afterdamp had accumulated. The first rescuing party that went down Into the mine was driven back and two men in the party had to be carried out. The force of the explosion was so great that it blew down a great section of the roof. The accident was due to an employe who diverted the air course unwittingly and allowed the gas to accumulate In the place where the men were at work. ke > Ay b § BULLET IS REMOVED FROM FERGUSON’'S SPINE Pellet of Lead Was Located by Means of Photograph Taken With the X-Ray.

The little mass of lead was found by _means of the X ray. Professor M. L. Pence of the State College, by getting two exposures of the bullet on the same plats, was, by means of triangulation, enabled tq locate the exact position and deter- mine the depth. Ferguson bore up well under the op- eration, but In his weakened physical con- dition may not rally. The bullet was im- bedded in his body in a shooting affray with Captain A. J.
