Chicago, Oct. 18 Hena'or J. K Joi,3.
chairman of the D* mo rat e National
Committee, to-day made th** following
statement:
•‘lt has hien the fashion for the Re
publican* for some years to denounce
I cmu* :ais as arv*ri'hDt*, r v>l'itlotil s
and th** like, ar.d the Republican party
ems to have a monopoly of r-volution
ary suggestions Just now.
“We see a Secretary of the Treasury In
an effort to disturb th# business of the

that Mr. Bryan. In case of his election,
would deliberate:)* evade the law. with a
purpoae as unstatesmar.like and unpatriot
ic as Ids own in miking thl* a gesiioi.
Fortunately, Mr. Bryan has h*en before
the {hi bile long enough for every on a
to know that trick- and false pretenses
are not among hi* weapons, and ,ugg**s
t:ons of this kind excite contempt.
'Hut won** than this 1* tb* fart that

Bryan shall be elected, h* will pack the
Supreme Court for purp- of Id? **wn.
fan It b*- jHisslble that those m*M ih tn
selves actually cont'midatc such revolu

Ih* elected? Certainly no such revolution
ary schemes have been advocated or even
suggested by any 1 im> rat- of whom I
have ever heard. Then- is nothing In any

of any assemblage of Democrats or of any

an id**a.

Chicago, Oct. 18.—•Chairman Jones of
the Democratic National Committee to
day said:
“The settlement of t!> miners* strike
indicates clearly the fact that the trusts
are beginning to have a wholesome regard
tor public opinion. They would not have
yielded to the demands of the men ex
cept from a fear that the consequences
might bo disastrous to the administration,
which is the friend of the trusts This
that the trusts are themselves afraid of
public lesson will not be lost It means
the people and is a hopeful sign for the
Democracy."
A* Republican National Commit!*.-
headquarter* Secretary Heath stut**d that
some weeks before th** strike was ordered
Chairman llanna was requested by a del
egation. headed by President Mltchll. to
try to effect an adjustment of the miners’
