DICKINSON EXPLAINS 3 GROVER CLEVELAND'S MEANING He Says the Authorized Statement of the Former Democratic President Was Intended to Apply to This Campaign. O+ 3 Special Dispatch to The Call. CHICAGO, Oct. 31.—Hon. Don M. Dickinson of Detroit, Postmaster General under *President Cleveland, who visited Mr. Cleveland at Princeton yesterday, was asked to-day for his views of the significance of Mr. Cleveland's at- titude in the present campaign. “The meaning of this authorized publication,” replied Mr. Dickinson, “is that it applies and was meant by Mr. Cleveland to apply to the present canipaign. “More important than Mr. Cleveland's championship of sound money in that speech in 1897 was his prophetic denunciation of the revolutionary doctrines and class hatred which are now so con- spicuous in this campaign. “To all Democrats Mr. Cleveland’s words must now come with peculiar significance. He speaks of those who ‘love the principles of their party too well to follotw its stolen banners’ He char- acterizes the Bryanite campaign as the work of agitators and demagogues. He emphasizes this by call- ing them ruthless agitators, sozomg seeds of discontent and class suspicion and distrust. He states that they call honest accumulation -a crime; he characterizes the Bryan campaign as a crusade of discon- tent and passion, encouraging the restless and turbulent <with hints of greater license; he speaks of the allied forces of calamity as having fought what they called ‘the first battle’ and calls attention to the continuance of the crusade. “The present authorized publication points and wwas meant to point out this campaign to his party of to-day. “Mpr. Cleveland's repetition of the speech states broadly that ‘the party legends have been ef- faced’ and that the leadership of the “organization is anti-Democratic and showing that Democrats should not permit themselves to be forced to ‘follow' false lights, which wwill only lead the way to party defeat and destruction. “Mr. Cleveland pointedly adds that ‘party discipline and organization should never be the mas- ters of party principles.” This publication by Mr. Cleveland's authority is a trumpet call to good Dem- ocrats. Note his language. He says: ‘Gn our campaign ground we will work and wait with approv- ing conscience and constant faith. Here we stand. 1Ve cannot do otherwise.”” +04+O @ +THO4040 40+ 0 40404 O 40+ 04D 40404+ THO+O+O 0+ O+0+ 040 § : s § s : ? % § § : : : : : s WILLIAM J.

He arrived on a special train at § o'clock to-night. The day was | spent entirely in this State and the itin- covered the country between this ¥ and Toledo. Beginning with an hour’s speech at Toledo at 10 o’clock this morn- ling, Mr. Bryan spoke in succession at Wauseon, Napoleon, Ottawa, Lima, Wau- pokenta; Sydney, Piqua, Troy, Dayton, Hamilton and College Corners: With the exception of the Toledo speech none of the others exceeded twenty-five | | minutes in length and six of them were | of only five minutes duration each. A/ majority of the places where stops were | made were small towns, and as a rule | the crowds were not large. There were, however, fine audiences at Toledo, Wau- seon, Piqua, Dayton and College Corners. In ‘his speech at Wauseon, Mr. Bryan | again charged the Republican party with making s rious pleas to different classes of people, and in support of his assertion produced circulars addressed to both the | Catholic church and tHe A. P. A. Refer- | ring to these circulars he said: I have received to-day two circu- | lars, one being sent out to members of the A. P. A, soclety asking them to vote the Republican ticket as a | protest’ against Catholics, and the other asking Catholics to vote the | Republican ticket as a protest against | the A. ¥. A. Here you find the Re-| publicans, having failed in their ap- | peal to the people to support Repub- slican principlesonany broad grounds, | now sending out circulars appsaling | to religious prejudices. I thank God | that the Democratic party is a party | to which people can belong no matter | of what church they are members. | We believe in religious and civil lib- erty and men come into the Demo- | cratic party not in order to advance | their claims against other people, but | lin order to protect the rights of all| people under the American flag. Our fight has been a fight for Americani principles, applied to all these ques- | | tions. Our fight has been a fight for | | those principles upon which the Gov- | ernment has been founded. We be- | lieve in industrial independence in ! this country and in political inde- | pendence everywhere under our flag. | Mr. Bryan's. train_made quite a_ long stop at Lima, where he addressed the crowd from the carriage in which he was driven to the speaking place. He charfle‘d{ the Republicans not only with evading | the campaign, but specifically asserted | ihat they had run away from every issue. | He said: | We have reached a point where we now | Kknow that the Republican plan of campaizn | has fatled and it is too late for Republican: %o adoot a new pian of campaign. The Re- | | publicans started out by refusing to discus: | the trust question. They have kept up to their refusal. They started out by refusing to discuss the army question. They have ad- hered to their refusal. They started out by trying to avold the question of imperialism and They also hey have kept running from it. :l:l):(ed out to appeal to the laboring man with ropped the dinner rail. Mr. Bryan will start early to-morrow morning for Indiana en route for Chicago. - | GIVEN SPLENDID RECEPTION. | Governor Roosevelt Speaks at Three i Meetings at Buffalo. | BUFFALO, Oct. 31.—The train bearing the Republican Vice Presidential candi- | date arrived In this city shortly after 4 o'clock, after making a stop at Black Rock, an industrial suburb of Buffalo and the morth bound railway center of the | city. The Governor was accorded a splen- did reception at this place and addressed a few remarks to the laboring people. | From the time of his arrival until the | time he retired there was one continuous ovation. The streets throggh which hé had to pass on his way from the station were crowded with people. It had been planned to have the Gov- ernor hold a reception this afternoon be- cause of the early hour of his arrival, but he was so fatigued with the day’s work that he compromised-by addressing the assembled people as a whole. explaining that he was deeply touched by the mag- nificent reception which had been accord- ed him and that he desired to thank them for it. Governor Roosevelt spoke at three meetings to-night, one on the east side in the industrial portion of the city, which was an open air affair, and where so many people were gathered less than half of them could hear, the speaker. Another followed in a small hall where the major f.ut of the audience was composed of Italians, and the third and | last in the immense convention 1, | which was filled to the ds In addition | to touching upon the many subjects which he has e{gloued at other places, the Gov- ernor said: Our opponents, having no case on the facts, [ é. full dinner pail and they have | | its abolition. | the Y.

Bourke Cockran spoke here the other night. He presented Mr. Bryan's issues rather better | than Mr. Bryan could present them, yet I con- fess it s Incomprehensibic to me how Mr Cockran can now champion Mr. Bryan, In view | not only of what he said four years ago, but of what he said as late as last Februar he ‘stated that no matter whether there was imzerialism or not In the campaign he would | ha.e to pursue the course he did in 1896, be- | ze he sald: “1 regard the Chicago la form as destrudtive to all government and I | should prefer some government to no govern- ment."" Weil, what are the reasons he gives as his excuse? In the first place, imperialism; in the second, militarism. By imperialism he means our expansion into the Phillppines, an expan- sion conducted on exactly the same basis as | Jefferson’s expansion Into the country west of | the Mississizzi. Mr. Cockran and Mr. Bryan have both affected to feel great horror from the fact that polygamy and, as alleged, slavery exists in Sulu, In the Philippine archipelago, which is now under our flag. T chould like to ask them if they think that it will help their policy in the event of our withdrawing the flag? Of course, as a matter | of fact, the only chance of getting rid of either | consists In keeping the flag up. We cannot do everything in a day. Messrs. Bryan and Cockran would be the first to rave agzainst | President McKinley 1t he now added to the | guinaido another war with the T ‘entury ago there were many -aboli- tionlsts, ‘sincers but absolutely foolish and wrong-headed people, who wanted the free States to secede from the Union because there was slavery in the Union. Had their advice been followed slavery would exist to the pres- ent day in the Southern States. The oniy thing t0 do was what we actually did—that is, to keep the flag fiying, and when the full of fime arrived abolish slavery. So It is In Sulu. We shall keep the flag fly- ing, and therefore in the end polygamy and slavery will both disappear. I might mention incidertally that President’ McKinley has ai- | ready declined. to recognize slavery in the | island, and therefore has taken steps toward | And what are the plans of Messrs. Bryan and Cockran? Why, of all things in the world Mr. Bryan proposes to establish a protectorate over the islands, Including Sulu, and therefore to perpetuate slavery,and polygamy by guaran- teeirg to the islanders these among the other institutions and protecting them against all outside intereference. In other words, Mr Bryan's platform deliberately provides for the perpetuation of the very evils which he and Mr.. Cockran effect to denounce. As a matter of fact, they can only be done away with by following our system. s At Niagara Falls the Governor's train was greeted with the Governor's salute of nineteen guns, and the Governor was taken to the opera-house, wheré he ad- dressed a large audience.’ The chairman of the meeting addressed him as the friend of the workingman and a working- man himself, - HANNA'S TELLING SPEECHES. The Senator Accuses Bryan of Utter Hypocrisy. FORT WAYNE, Ind., Oct. 3l.—Senator Mark A. Hanna spoke to two large audi- ences to-night. He addressed 3000 people at Princess Rink and a crowd of 3000 at He was greeted on his arrival by a parade of Rough Riders and factory men. His audience was large- Iy composed of workingmen and his argu- ment was addressed to them, being con- fined solely to the prosperity’ issue, The men whose example they should follow, he sald, are the men who have success- fully managed the country’s great indus- trial establishments. He accused Mr. Bryan of utter hypocrisy, and charged that In the last days of the campaign in desperation the Democratic candidate was attempting to raise class animosity and array workingmen against their employ- ers. His arraignment of Mr. Bryan was gevere, and folfowed his declaration that he had been the butt of Mr. Bryan's ridi- cule, sarcasm and vituperation for four years, and that now before Mr. Bryan's retirement to private life he proposed to give him a few parting shots. After his speech Senator Hanna was asked to express an opinion on Chairman Jones' interview dealing with Mr. Cro- ker's advice to Democrats regardlns their conduct on election day, but he refused to talk about the matter. DODGES ONE QUESTION. Bryan Replies to the Princeton Uni- versity Republican Club. PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 31.—Francis J. Hall, president of the University Repub- lican Club, has received a letter from Wil- liam J.

P. A. chisement of the negroes in North Caro- lina by the Democrats of that State?” Mr. Bryan stated that this question was not an issue in the campaign, and said: “You should hold the President respon- sible for what he had done in Porto Rico and not me responsible for what has been | done in North Carolina.” He adds there is but little, if any, differ- ence between the race question law in North Carolina and that in Porto Rico. s e ADMINISTRATION AND TRUSTS. Attorney General Griggs Refutes a Statement Made by Monnett. NAPOLEON, Ohio, Oct. 3L—A letter | from Attorney General Griggs to J. R. Linthicum, chairman of the Republican committee of Henry County, relative to certain statements made by former At- torney General Monnett in a speech de- livered here on ©ctober 21, was made pub- lic to-day. Attorney General Griggs say’ I am in receipt of your letter of the 23d inst. in which you state that ex-Attorney General nk 8. Monnett of Ohio in a Democratic speech at Napolegn on the 224 inst. stated that 1'in a letter to Mm and also In a personal in- terview with him stated that the reason why thetruste have not been prosecuted was that the Presiden. has been inactive and indifferent in the enfarcement of the anti-trust laws. Unless Mr. Monnett has taken leave of h senses 1 cannot belleve he ever made such a statement. So far as I can recall or the rec- ords of this department show I have never writ- ten him a letter upon any subject. I am sure that 1 never wrote him a letter upon the sub- Ject of trusts nor in any wise alluded to the action of this administration wiih referenca thereto. With his allegation that I made such a statemept in a personal interview with him that is al%o entirely untrue. I never met Mr. Monnett but once, and that was only for a few minutes when he called to pay a visit of cour- tesy, being introduced to me by his predecessor, the ‘present Solicitor General, John K. Rich- ards, of Ohio. 1 do not think or believe that the subjact of trusts or any other subject ex- cept #such as would arise in general conversa- tion upon a visit of this nature was touched upon. Tam sure that I made no such statement as you say Mr. Monnett attributes to me. Nor could I have made such a statement, because The attitude and s administration on the subject of prosecution under the anti-trust laws are con- tained In the last annual report of the Attorney General to Congress, a copy of which is for- warded to you by this mail. — e — TO ANTI-IMPERIALISTS.

The reply Is dated Brook- lyn, N. Y., October 20. It follows: The recelpt of your letter notifying me of the indorsement ~by the Anti-imperialistic League and inclosing the resolutions adopted was delayel bévause of my continuous ab- sence from home.

Every indication at pres- ent points to such an emphatic protest against the Republican party as to not only insure a return to the fundamental principles of gov- ernment, but such a protest as will warn all partiee in the future not to disregard the bloo ught principles which have given to this na- tion its glory and which must in the future make it an example for the uplifting of man- nd. —_————— Politics in Porto Rico.

Gould Will Now Endeavor to Save His Sister’s Estate From Utter Ruin. op.anm-p-uhhmo.n. PARIS, Oct. 31.—The eivil tribunal has | appointed George J. Gould trustee for the Countess de Castellane, his sister. Ac- cording to the pleadings in the case her husband, Count Boni de Castellane, spen= 23,000,000 francs in four years, whereas his income from his wife's fortune is only 3,000,000 francs. = The action was the result of a suit brought by Mr. Gould against his sister. The court granted his request and ap- pointed him trustee. The proceedings bare decision being announced. The Castellanes are now staying fn the coun- try together. Maitre Bonnet, when applying for the trusteeship, informed the president of the court that the Countess herself recog- nized that the expenditure had been too lavish and that it was necessary for some ona of experience and authority to man- age hor affairs. He went on to say that, although the Countess was a consentin, party to the trusteeship, it was desirable that he should furnish precise details. The fncome of the Countess, he went on, was 3,000,000 francs. Since the marriage 15.- 000,000 francs had been expended and the debts amounted now to 22,000,000 francs. The Gould family had met in consulta- tion and unanimously decided to authorize Mr. Gould to make the present applica- tion. The debts, Maitre Bonnet sald, were the following: Three million seven hundred and two thousand francs in counection with the Charity Bazaar building and the hotel in the Rue Malakoff, etc., etc.; 6. 585,260 francs on mortgages payable from 1900 to 1909; 4,203,155 francs on bills, money loaned; 9,100,000 francs owing to curio dealers. Maitre Bonnet went on to say that the creditors distrained on the Seine-et-Olse property and that the family had to in- tervene to prevent the sale. With regard to the fltness of George Gould to be trustee, Maitre Bonnet point- ed out that his fortune was larger than Countess; that authority the plaintiff ‘“possessed better than any other of the necessary position and au- thority to assist the defendants.” It appears that the Countess, who was not present in court to-day, q tlonJ7 by President Badouin last Friday. NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.—Anna Gould and Count Bonl de Castellane were married this city by Archbishop Corrigan, March 4, 15%, at the home of the bride's brother, George Gould. A civil marriage was af- terward performed by a Judge of the Su- reme Court. The nuptials were heralded Ey music from unseen instruments in a house of flowers and filled with enchant- ing surprises. The volce of a famous opera singer, Who was hidden from view, rose in the beautiful dream song from “Lohengrin.” Superb jewels were among the wedding presents. Since that time, five and a half years ago, the lives of the Count and Countess de Castellane have been filled with events Rumors, however, undoubtedly magni- fled the magnificence of their entertain- ments in Paris, and the exploits and ex- travagance of the Count During the last four years the names of the Count and Countess have been con- tinually before the public. That of the Count was mentioned frequently in con- nection with alleged royalist movements, and that of the Countess because of her popularity in French society. her splendid entertainments and her large gifts to charity. It has been repeatedly asserted in this country and in France during the last vear that the Count’s financial affairs were in a bad condition. - Count de Castellane last January be- came involved in a controversy with M. de Rodays, editor of the Fl,f‘m of Paris, and it was said came near fighting a duel to prove that he was not financially em- barrassed, and had not gone to the United States to endeavor to raise money on his wife's property.

STATUS OF MISSIONARIES. It Will Be Determined in the Peace Negotiations With China. | NEW YORK, Oct. 3L.—Rev. Arthur J. Brown, one of the secretaries of the Pres- byterian Board of Foreign Missions, to- day received a letter from David J. Hill, Assistant Secretary of State, which cover: various points connected with the present status of the missionaries in China. The letter was written in connection with in- formation that Rev. A. M. Cunningham | and his wife, missionaries at Peking, were about to return to their posts and request- ing that the United States authorities in China be informed of their purpose, if in the judgment of the State Department these authorities might interpose any ob- | jection to their return to the city. | The conditions governjng access of for- | eigners to the non-treaty towns of the | interior, including Peking, and their se- curity there, Mr. Hill writes, “will neces- | sarily be considered in the negotiations and the powers.

PEKING, Oct. 30.—The report that Cap- tain Hall was courtmartialed during the | sfege is not quite correct. It bly | originated from the fact that he aban- doned a vital position on the city wall, | commanding the legations. His senior of- ficer, Captain Myers, immediately rallied Hall's men, rushed k_and reoccupied two breastworks before the enemy came. Our men then held the wall to the end | of the siege. Had they not reoccupied the position the enémy would have made | short work of the iegations with artillery. This stampede of marines, exposing thou- sards of foreign lives to certain '?eotruc. tion, created intense excitement at the time and caused the public to lose con- | fidence in the American force until H. G. Squires, first secretary of the legation, lanned, and Captain Myers executed a rilliant sortie.with the same men on July 3, as narrated in dispatches at the time.
