Cpeclal to The Observer. New Tork, Nov. 4. The specific charge made by Judge Parker that the fitaittard Oil Company has espoused the Republican cause,, the counter! charge that Judge Parker was himself mued up in the gliding trust, to- gether with the general crimination and - recrimination have projected a situation of nfuch delicacy Into the political world. Neither side la-telling all that exists behind the scenes In this trust business, and if somebody should squeal, some Thomas W. Law son should come to tha front, the re sultant disclosures would put the pub licity bureau of the Department , of Commerce and Labor out of business, 'Men in a position to know declare that Judge Parker is speaking advis edly when be talks about trusts and corporations being allied to the Repub lican organization. Some of these cor porations, it is believed by everybody hereabouts, were friendly to Judge Parker when he was trying to secure the nomination, and after the St. Louis convention promised to contribute to - his campaign. When J. Plerpont Mor gan changed front the lesser financial lights followed, but not until after some of them made a very clear ex plantation to the supporters of Judge Parker. Many believe that Judge Par ker is famili u with all the details thai led up to the altogether amicable un derstanding which now exists between the administration and Mr. Morgan and It Is this knowledge which Demo crats have of the nature of the deal which renders the situation acute. CORTELYOU MAY TALK. The writer spent half an hour to-day In the surcharged atmosphere at Re publican headquarters and talked with a Republican who came over fo-day from Washington. This Republican, who recently had a talk with President Roosevelt, said the President was as "cool as could be expected under the circumstances," but that the execu tive had been heard to execrate the fates and Chairman Cortelyou who had decreed that he could not "challenge Judge Parker to Joint debate." Senator Lodge does not hesitate to say that Chairman Qirtelyou should talk and the first thing heard at headquarters this morning was that he ould do so. It is a known fact that the verbiage of the statement was agreed upon yes terday, but it was said at noon that It was not ready for release. If any such statement had been designed for pub lication. It was denied emphaticall that the committee had received any contributions from the Standard Oil Company, and the allegation was made that the Democratic committee had Just received a liberal contribution from President Baer. of the Reading Railroad Company, a gentleman who has never accepted the Morgan theory that President Roosevelt, while very unsafe last summer, is now wholly sane and safe. MONEY JN PARKER BARREL. This may or may not be true, but it Is certain that a change has come over the spirit of the Democratic dreams and whereas there were days during. September when the committee could hardly pay for clerk hire, there now appears to be an abundance of fund for all legitimate expenses.

The President Issne a Kigntxl State. mem in uiiich H Denounces tin; Democratic .CaiidHlale's Statements Regarding Cortelyou a "Cnquall flodly and Atrociously Paine'' If . Elected, He. Declares He Will Go Into the Presidency Unhampered by Any Pledge Save That Made Openly to the American People. Washington, Nov. 4. President Roosevelt to-night made the following signed statement to the American people in answer to ihe charges made against himself and Mr. Cortelyou In public speech by Mr.Parker, the Dem ocratlc candidate for the presidency: White House, Washington, Nov. 4. Certain rlanderous accusatltms as to Mr. Cortelyou and myself have, been repeated time and again by Judge Parker, the candidate of his party for the office of president. He has nelthei produced nor can produce any proof of their truth; yet he has not with drawn them; and as his position glvec them wide currency I can speak now lest the slleno of self-respect b mis understood. Mr. Parker's charges are in effect that the President of the United States and Mr. Cortelyou, formerly Mr. Cleveland's executive clerk, then Mr. MvKinley's and my secretary, then Secretary of Crtlnmprce and Labor and now chulrman of the Republican national committee, have been in a conspiracy to blackmail corporations, Mr. Cortelyou using his knowledge gained while he was Secretary of the Deportment of Commerce and Iibor to extort money In corporations, and I, the President, having appointed him ror this esppi'lal puriwse. The grav- inien of these charges lies In the as- nertion that the corporations have been blackmailed into contributing and Hi; the Implication which In one or two of Mr. Parker's speeches has taken the form practically of an assertion that they have been promised certain Im munities or favors or have been as sured that they would receive some kind of Improper consideration In view of 'itliflir contributions. That contributions have been made to the Republican committee as con tributions have been made to the Dem ocratic dommittee Is not the question at l?suc. Mr. Parker's assertion is In ffeel that cush contributions have been made for Improper motives, either in consequence of threats or In conse quence of Improper promises, direct or Indirect, on the part of the recip ients. Mr. Parker knows best whether this is true of the contributions to his campaign fund which have -come- through his trusted friends and advls ers who represent the great corporat nterests that stand behind him. But there Is not one particle of truth tn th statement as regards anything tha has gone In the management of the Uepublican campaign. Mr. Parker' accusations against' Mr. Cortelyou and nie are monstrous. If true, they would brand both of us forever with infamy and Inasmuch as they arc false heavy must be the condemnation of the ma making them. I chose Mr. Cortelyou u.a chairman of the natlonaj committee after having failed successively to per uade Mr. Elitiu Root. Mr. W. Murra Crane and Mr. Cornelius N. Bliss to accept the position. I chose him with extreme reluctance, because I could I spare hlrn from the cabinet. Hut celt that In- possessed the high Integ ruy wnicn 1 demanded In the man wh wus to manage my campaign. 1 am content that Mr. Parker and I should be judged by the public on the char meters of the two men whom we chose to manage our campaigns; he by tht naractcis of his nominee. Mr. Thnmaa laggart, and I by the character of Mr. oitelyou. "Ihe assertion that Mr. Cor eiyou nan any knowledge gained whu In any official position whereby he wat enabled to secure and did secnr nv contribution from any corporation is iaisenooa. tne assert on that thare nus Deen any blackmail, direct or In direct, by Mr. Cortelyou or by me Is a iaisenooa. i lie assertion that there has been made in my behalf and by j ouiiiurii)' oy Mr. cortelyou or bv any one else, any pledge or promise ur inai mere nus been anv tin. standing os to future Immunities or utfiients. in recognition of any con t rib mum irom any source Is a wicked iaisenooa. iimi Mr. i-urKer snould desire to uvoui tne discussion of principles, I can well understand; for It is but the bare trutn to say that he has not attacker uh on any mutter of principle or unm any action of the government mmv uftor first misstating that principle or that action. But I cannot understand how any honorable man, a candidate for the ntg nest office in the gift of the ueODle, jan take refuge not merely In personal ties, but in such base and unworthy personalities, if I deemed It necessary co support my nat denial by anv evl Jence I would ask all men of common sense to ponder well what has been done in this campaign by Mr. Courtel- you and to compare it with what Mr Parker himself did when he was man aging Mr. Hill's campaign tor tiov- citiOi- and to compare wiiat lias been done as regards the great corporations md monled interests under this ad ministration with what was done under the last Democratic administration while Mr. Olney was Attorney General i would ask all men whether they se- .'iouMly deem It possible that the course this administration has taken in every matter from the Northern Securltiet, lutt to the settlement of the anthracite coal strike is compatible with any the ory of public behavior save the theory of doing exact Justice to all men with aut fear and without favoritism; 1 would ask ull honest and fair minded ,r.n to remember ,, thut the agents through whom I have worked are Mr. Knox and Mr. Moody, in the Depart ment of Justice; Mr. Courtelyou in the Department of Commerce and Labor. tnd .Miv Garfield In the Bureau of Cor porations, "and that no such act of In famy us Mr. Parker charges could have been done without all these men being parties to it.f ''JZlJi--- -L The statements made by Mr. Parker are -unqualifiedly and atrociously false.

He Is Given an Ovation and Makes a Great Speech A Dig Rally to be Held To-l)ayMr. lllgger Fire An- oilier t.iin. Special to The Observer. Concord, Nov. 4, Cabarrus Domocra cy was out en masse last night to hear ( apt. uobt. H. (Jlerin. The court house was packed tn Its utmost ca pacity, several hundred chairs had been placed In'the roonCund every nook a lid corner held a man. It whs gathering of Democracy aroused and enthused, and by Ihe time Mr. Glenn had finished his two hours' speech th greatest of enthusiasm abounded. The great throng rose as one man and cheered. The crowd surged around tho speaker nnd for near a half hour It was an eager, surging muss of men getting In touch with the man who had so stirred them. With both hands Mr. Glenn clasped tlnvexlended hands and spoke from his heart a Word ofl thanks for the demonstration thus ac corded the next Governor of the State. A half hour before the hour for the speaking, there was a room full and tlnose wtio came later appeared to be but the lust that could crowd In. The appearance of the speaker provoked a long cheering which was hushed only iiirr sir. uienn arose ana held up ooin nanas ror silence. It was the most spontaneous outburst of enthusl asm nnd the more sincere In the his tory of recent years in the city. Mr. Hartsell, the county chairman presented Mr. Olenii as the next Gov ernor and the cheering broke out again with intense enthusiasm. With out much preliminary talk, Mr. Glenn got down to the talk he had come to Ktve Cabarrus voters and with ex ceeding earnestness the entire house pain ciose iiitcniion. Mr. Glenn was a bit hoarse and stated that he was a tired man. He looked It. but not after he began to talk and became earnest in his message of truth and strength. i ne spoecn was largely on State Is sues nnd was Just such a one as one would expect to fall from the ener getic G enn. Mr. Glenn said that he was already elected, but he now wanted lo elect other Democrats. He spoke the name of Newland, and the applause was deafening. He paid his respects to E. Spencer, and there was no doubting me sptiiion Mr. Glenn has of the drummer boy." He ridiculed the Idea of Blackburn "doing things for us," ind told or how he had done some things ror some portions of the State, while he was a member of Congress There was cails of Newland all ever the house, and the speaker was for a moment Interrupted by the enthusiasm created by reference to the Democratic congressional nominee. Mr. Glenn went for Blackburn with glovea off and the crowd thoroughly (endorsed very word of it. Mr. Glenn closed by making a strong appeal for the ticket from Parker to township constable. It was a great speech and was thoroughly enjoyed The people had longed for Glenn and they were extensive In their praise t him and his Democratic doctrine. To-morrow will be rally dav hem and despite the bad weather It Is expected that the town will be full of people. .

Men stood upon chain twirling hats upon canes, women waved hand kerchiefs and clapped their gloved fin gers, while occasionally, a though In the 'distance, the strains of a patriotic air from the band could be beard. For bowing and smiling In acknowledge ment and repeatedly attempting to ad dress the crowd. A half-way QU let was then restored, and the speech was be gun, only to be Interrupted by another outburst that lusted for three minutes more. It was only when the audience was drowned Into silence by the hisses of those desirous of having the former President proceed that Mr. Cleveland could go on. Mr. Cleveland's address In full follows: ' "It was twenty years ago almost to day that I appeared be pre a Newark audience charged with the responsi bility of the partes presidential can didacy. The DeriTbcratic platform in that campaign denounced the Republi can pnkty having failed to relieve the people from crushing;, war taxes, and declared that unnecsaary taxation - was unjust taxtation, This platform also promised that, if erurusted , with ; control of the government, the Demo-, crucy would purify the administration from corruption, restore economy, re vive respect for law, and revise the tniifT In a spirit of falrness'tO all Inter ested. It was In support pf such a platform and in obedience to ; the promptings or Democratic impulse that ; I said on that occasion: Th" right of the government to exact tribute from the citizen Is limited by Ita actual nec-v esslties; und every cent taken from the people beyond that required for their protection by the government Is no better than robbery,' . ' , TARIFF REFORMED BT ITS FRIENDS." , ' "We had then just been favored with a demonstration of the manner in which tariff was reformed by Its f rl en ds. In 1812 tariff abuse ; had become so apparent, and the amount 1 exacted from the people by taxa tion of Imports was so much be yond any necessity or Justifica tion, that the Republican party In Congress felt obliged to make a move ment which would at least appear to : be In the direction of reducing tariff rates. A commission. In the absolute control of Republican protectionists, was thereupon constituted to manage the affair. Notwithstanding; the man ner In which this commission was constituted, its members r were con strained by fear or shame, or by both, to recommend a reduction in tariff rates-of from 10 to 85 per cent There upon certain selfish interests which had such control of the party In power that they had become accustomed to de mand and receive from Its hands the ' tremendous profits arising from Inordi nate protection, were aroused to the most vicious activity and made a dem- -onstratlon of their control, alike humil iating to American patriotism, riia. crediting to our scheme of popular rule, and disgraceful to the party which sur rendered to their dictation. The rec ommendations of the commission were-, spurned; and in the bill Xlnally pttswd v it is computed, mat the average rate of duty on Imports were aetualtv In creased, Instead of being diminished. That the-consumers of the land who then asked for bread were given a stone, is proof of the futility of any hope for tariff reformation bv a nartv tied hand and foot In the. bonds of sordlness and reckless greed. Uixn the evidence supplied : by this incident, it Is incomprehensible that the pretence should longer be tolerated that none can be trusted to justly relieve the people by -tariff revision' except the friends of radical protection.' v 'inns BATTUE OF 18M. . It Was under the oneratlon of this disgraceful outcome, a delusive show of tariff reformation! by It friends,, "that the battle of 1884 was fought The average rate of ;duty on Imports then prevailing was something over forty five per cent; and this rate the peop'' by their verdict at the polls condemned as f unnecessary; and unjust, and de nounced its exactions as no better than robbery. J have ventured ; to remind you of, these incidents foe an especial purpose. I desire to direct your atten tion to the fact that, in the contest of twenty years ago the tariff then ex isting was condemned because In cn- of Itself, without accomplices or vici.in ; associates. It was guilty of te.-pn. -our' people In their1 homes. Tumh i., combinations did not then m i -. ir Its confederates.
