GROUT ISSU E8 STATEMENT; Charges Citizens' Union With Being Under Senator Platt's Rule. NEW YORK. Oct. B.——Comptrollcr Grout issued a long statement today In reply to the actions of the conventions last night. In his statement he chur- gcs the Citizens' Union with being un- der Senator I’latt's rule and says he will fight his being taken off the ticket to the end. He ends his statcmcnt by saying: "And. finally. I shall appeal to all fair-minded people to say whctl1~ er a man whom they knew to bc hon- est. shall be destroyed by the species of lynch-rule and mob-rule which has prevailed this fortnight past." in part Mr. Grout says: , ~ "All parties, all newspapers agree that l have been an honest and cm- cient comptroller. I shall stand for reelection on that record, which all have approved, Before i went away on my vacation, I made known to some fusion managers the very details of my private affairs, which made me un- willing to continue in office. Never- theless, my ronomlnation was forced by them In my absence. I accepted at Mr. Low's personal request. and in spite of every other inducement and argument. Then I was offered an en- dorsement by the Democratic party. i did not. seek it. i did not bargain. deal, or dicker for it. I was not bought, sold or gagged. i made. no concealment of my belief that, if taken sancly by the. fusionists. such endorsement would help Mr. Low, And I am abused. out- raged. expelled, Why? Because i say that the campaign should be fought. by arguments, by proofs. by appeals to reason, not by denunciation, bitter words and appeals to passion. I shall ask every tax payer whose bill this year is reduced to remember that it would not have. been less if I had not been Comptroller. “As a Democrat I shall ask the Dem- ocrats of this city to notice how this situation has been made at the direc- tion of Plait and his intimates, and to say whether this Democratic city shall be turned over to Matt. I believe that municipal business should be manag- ed upon its merits. I have so con- ducted it, and will so continuP if rc- elected. Thc position of the Republi- can machinists arrd of Mr, (‘uttlng has become the some of partisanship." Frederick W. llinrichs. who was nom- inated last night by the l-‘nslonlsls for comptroller. said today at his office. that he would accept the nomination. Mr. Hinrichs said that he is highly pleased with the honors that have come to him, rather unexpectedly. he said, but he is not in a position Just now to do any talking. “You will hear enough from me when the campaign opens.“ he said. “Tin, time Is so short that we will have it. RAIN MARRID TH FAIR. . , Attendance Was Good Notwithstanding th o Weather. DANBURY, October s—I.ack of plea- sant weather is the only thing that has marred the success of the Danbury Fair so far. The storm of this mom- tng affected the attendance materially, and a heavy rain that has been telling this afternoon threatens to interfere with the cn‘rryig out -of the. program of track events. Today was Excursion Day. anti the greatest part of the crowd is made 11p of people who came in on the excursion trains from points in Connecticut, New York and Massa- chusetts, this morning.

HOUSE MADE OF BEER BOTTLES. The town of Tonopah. Nev., num- bers among its inhabitants a man who lives in a glass house and who can throw stones at the same time without. suffering any of the inconveniences supposed to surround such an associa- tion. Not a tree grows within sixty miles of this Nevada mining camp, and naturally building material and fuel bring all sorts of fancy prices. Con- sequently various subterfugcs are rt- sorted to in the architectural make-up of 'l‘onopuh. There are. houses made of straw, of burlap sucks. trimmed with blue Jenn overall. of tin frbrn five gallon oil runs. of dry goods and cracker box inmbcr; of mud, stone, tcnts, cloth—— in fact, almost every sort of contriv- unce is resorted to as a makeshift for a place of habitation. it remained, however. for William lt‘. Pt't‘k, a minor, to dcvisc a way of living not only in a class by itsclf. so far as novelty is concerned. but fully as comfortable, and certainly as enduring as that of- fercd by any of the more imposing editiccs of 'l‘onopah. lie has constructed of empty bccr bottles 11 house slxtecn by twenty feet, with ceilings cight feet high, and con- taintng two rooms, It was built in October of last year, by Mr. Peck. Water was then selling at 81.50 a bar- rel, lmne the principal item of ex- pense centered in the supply of mud that was employed as mortar between the bottles comprising the edifice. Ten thousand cmpty bottles were in- corporated in the structure, Consid- erable artistic taste was displayed. the northern and western exposures being composed of bottles of light green hue, while those on the south and east arc almost black. The combination lends a pleasing effect to the outside. The inside walls are plastered with lime. which is spread to a depth sufllcicnt to covcr the protruding bottlc necks about one inch, thus obliterating all rough features and making a smooth surface. Mr. Peck lived all last winter In his peculiar abode with his wife and two ‘thildrcn. and says that while the we- makc a lively campaign You will heurl ter in many resident-cs of 'l‘onopah from me then. but just now I am fol- rcnched the it cczing point quite often, lowing Just the precedents established 4 his family found their glass house cx- by other candidate's and will not have cocdingly comfortable at anything to say until after I am oiiiciul- ly notified of my nomination.“ M. Linn Bruce, chairman of the County Republican Committee, issued a statement today, in which he said that, now the fusion ticket is complete the campaign will run only on the line of “the continuance of good city government." Mr. Bruce said: “The anti—Tam- many ticket is now complete. The mistake has been eliminated and all friends find supporters of clean. honest and high class city government are now united and aggressive in the tight to prevent a return to power of the combindtion for personal gain known as Tammany Hall. "We shall fight this campaign on the only issue before the people the con- tinuance of good city government Tammany is the common enemy and against Tammany we shall wage war to the end. The anti-Tammany forces enter the campaign confident of vict- ory." WILL NOT GRANT DEMAND. International silver Company wm Work Tsn Hours. WALLINGFORD.
