Mr. C'lovolanrt will got some olcctornl
TotcR In the northwest , . If thcso gentlemen -
men have any trustworthy information
from that Boctlon tholr profession is not
Hlticore. Thrco months ngo thcro wns

electoral vote of the northwuM. but a
grout change hns taUon iilaco within
that tlmo niul nil Iho ! ndlotittin ( < < now
are thut this section will give its solid
doctoral vote for Harrison nnd Itold.
This ohango hns bson brought about
b.v nn Intelligent and careful considera
tion ( if Iho issues of the c.-unp.ilmi by the
peoplo. To n gruator extent than por-
Impin any piecc-dii'ig national contest
the voters Imvo boon dolnir their own
investigating nnd thinking. This ac
counts in part for the fact that political
meetings have not boon so largely at
tended as usual , and that the outward
expression of popular interest has not
boon so Dl'onniiuucd as in previous
presidential campaigns. The people
this year arc to a far gronlor degree
than usual studying for themselves the
policies of the ivirlius and the facts of
the Munition. This IH a good thing , and
is what tlio republican party desires.
The people of the northwest- believe
in the constitutionality of the American
system of protection. Whatever diver-
bity ofievvs there may bo among them
tognrding tariff schedules , Uio largo
majority of thorn rccogni/.o ns ample tlio
aiillio Ity of thu fathers of the constitu
tion as to thu constitutionality of pro
tection. Tlio democratic party lias de
clared with ( leliborallon that that pol
icy is in violation of tlio organic law ,
and if bticccFsftil in seeming control of
the government its duly would bo to
abandon protection nnd inaugurate the
Iti'itisli Hytluin of frco trade. It does
not m.ittur that the candidate of the
parlj says it docs not propnsoto do this.
Uo is simply less courageous now than
the parly , but in the event of his elec
tion ho would not hesitate to approve
whatever the parly might do In this
particular. „ ,
Tlio people of the northwest are in fa
vor of lionost nionoy. They understand
that their continued prosperity depends
upon maintaining a sound nnd stable
currency , o ich dollar of which shall bo
as trued as every ether dollar and which
fahall bo current everywhere. The dem
ocratic party demands the ropoul of the
tax on stale bank Usuus which would re
sult in reHtorinjr Ihe slate bank currency
by which the producer and wage earner
were defrauded before the war. That
party as shown by the votes of Its repre
sentatives in congress is also in favor of
Iho frco and unlimited coinage of silver ,
which would result in depreciating the
currency and establishing : i single silver
Hliindurd. To both of these currency
policies of the democracy a largo ma
jority of tlio people of the northwest arc
opposed.
A fair and candid investigation of the
facts regarding Iho material condition
of the country shows thai it is prosper-
oiib and that the northwest has shared
as largely it's any other section in this
prosperity. Reciprocity has enlarged
the foreign markets for its products ,
while the homo mai-kot is stoadi'y expanding >
panding under Iho protective nollcy.
Having before them Iho tungiblo resulli
of existing policies , the wisdom ant
bagacily of the people of the northwcs
can bo couthontly relied upon to rejcc
Iho party which proposes to ovorturi
these policies and thereby rovolutionizi
Iho linancial and business affairs of tin
entire country.

Commenting upon nn artic.lo in tin
Boston Globe , in which republican pro
lectionisls are accused of rejoicing eve
the industrial misfortunes of Grou
Britain , the Rochester Post-Exprcs
says : ' 'Rejoicing over calamity anj
where is contemptible ; and there
ono thing meaner than for a ropublica
lo rejoice ever diblross in Germany tun
England , and that is for a democrat t
rejoice over distress in Amnrtca. "
In discussing thu influences of th
tariff Tin : BKU has often taken pains t
say that it found no plcuaiiro in contoir
plallug the prostration of foreign indm
tries and that the wage earners of Hi
rene in particular were ontltlcd lo th
hvmpathy of the American poopli
The whole . tone of Iho ropublica
discussion of thin subject has hue
the same. In order lo present Hi
plain facls in relation lo Iho effect
of frco trade and pi election it has boo
necessary to show that the onforcomoi
of our piotcctlvo policy has produce
good results at homo , and bad rcsul
abroad , but there has been no exult :
lion over tlio distrcs-i that has provalk
in Kuropo. On the other hand it cai
not bo denied that Iho frco trade dem
crals hivvo rejoiced over every ease i
industrial depression that they hav
discovered in this country. Whonovt
they hiivo found by diligent inquiry tin
a manufacturer has not prospered i
that a w.igo earner has boon throv
out of employment they have bhr/.oiu
the now& to the world with every ov
donee of keen enjoyment. Tlio who

Tl- it U right that there should bo some t
Tla
a ultatton ever the triumphs which o
in own protective policy ia winning in
coCO legitimate commercial contest agaii
our most formidable rival. The mitt
CO of Iho baltlo between the protectionl
y. and the free traders in this campai
lie places the latter In the position of d
ISO paraging their own country. As tl :
'HS aim p introduce an English policy tl
uuturally huvo England on their si
ixnn It they suffer by reason of n per
fectly reasonable American projudleo
ngalnst that country they have only
themselves to blnmts But there \f \ no
truth In the statement that the ndvo-
caleB of protection rejoice ever the mis
fortunes of any country that has suffered
by the onforcomontof our protective pol
icy , and the Idea that the brotherhood
of moil" hns been ItM sight of by these
who bollovo In looklijg llrst to the intor-
of our own country Is simply absurd.
II , is plain that the btUtness iiion of
the count"y do not endorse the linancial
policy proposed by the democrats In
tholr platform. When .lohn Sherman
spoke in Chicago the ether night ho
was greeted by nn atuUoiico composed
largely of prominent business men , and
their warm endorsement of his wirdH
concerning the financial heresies of the
democratic p'irt } proves that the re
publican position Is approved by them.
Ono of the most important issues before
the country Is whether tlio people are
willing to abandon United Stales noles
and It easury notes and the silver nnd
gold certificates , which are of uniform
viiltio all ever Iho world , and put in the
place of this sound money the Hhlu-
plaslcrs of thirty jcars ago.
Mr. Sherman docs not believe thnt
the people will do ibis , and ho plainly
says so. Every dollar of money now issued
ib secured by Iho government cither by
gold or silver coin or bullion or by the
deposit ot Untti-d Stales bonds. If it
bank falls iho money is slill good bo-
ciuso : the government , is behind it.
Every dollar now issued is good , but the
democratic party demands the restora
tion of n system that will lloou thn coun
try with doubtful monoy. That party
has alwnys opposed the financial meas
ures of the republicans in congress and
Ins been a. consistent enemy of good cur
rency. Whenever a financial folly has
boon proposed it has always boon found
that the democ-ralic party was behind it.
Grover Cleveland did not say nny thing
upon this biibjccL in his letter of accept
ance because ho know that it was dan
gerous lo do bo. But ho stands upon a
platform that pledcrcs him to the sup
port of the old blato banking folly. The
people demand that the money of Iho
country shall be good that ono dollar
shall be as * good as another and that
thcro shall be no debasement of the cur
rency with which they do thoii btibi-
nc-ss. This is a found position und it
will Do found that it commends ilself lo
Iho judgment of every sensible business
man in the country.
. 111 ! L.ICKS COUIIAGH.
An interesting letter has been written
by Mr. John .fay , lutcly president of the
civil service commission of the state of
New York , which position ho hold by
appointment from 1'i-esidont Cleveland.
Ho answers Wayne MacVelgh very ef
fectually. Ono of his best points h
based upon a quotation from Mr. Cleve
land's letter of acceptance , in which
the Inltor says that the American people
plo "cannot be frightened by the specter
of impossible frco trade. "
Mr. Cleveland delayed his letter ol
nccoptune3 long enough lo enable hin :
lo bee that the people would not approve
the distinct free trade utterances of the
plutform upon which ho stands. Will :
the light that he then had he did no1
dare lo coino out boldly and say lhat tin
republican protective policy would b (
wiped out if ho were olected. lie win
looking for votes , and ho know that th <
frco trade declaration of tlio dcmoisratii
platform would not meet the approv.i
of the peoplo. Gi-over Cleveland i
known to bo n believer in frco trade
but ho has not the courage of his con
victions. and docs not dare loemlors
the platform upon which ho stands-
But there can be no doubt as to the utti
tudo ho woula take upon tariff legisla
tion if ho were elected president. ITo 5
a freetrader of the most pronounce
kind , nnd has on many occasions show
that ho Is opposed to Iho present prc
lecllvo policy. Mr. Jay thinks that th
election of Mr. Cleveland would bo
menace to civil service reform , in whic
ho is especially interested , but that is c
no account in comparison with th
danger to the business interests of th
country which would result from dome
cralic success in tlio present conies' '
Air. Cleveland is a free tradtsr , and th
plalform of his parly distinctly declare
for frco tr.ido. Democratic success i
this election means the destruction <
Iho protective policy upon which the ii
dubtries of the country now depend. . '
is impossible to believe that the pcop !
will pcrm't ' btiuh nchanco.

That her stories nro true 1 nm prepared to
vouch for because 1 witnowd outrages of
similar character during iho Irip of which
mention was made nt tbo boginnliitr ot this
article and also In these columns snmu Ihrco
weolts since. That tno "oftlcinl democracy"
was icaponsiblo for these ouir\es oltlior dl-
rectlv or Indirectly was not nttoniDlud to bo
denied bv the leaders of the parly or by the
democratic papers. Ono of tholr organs
passed thum oil ns "boy's piny , " the other
silently approved.
Ono Instance In question wns that of n
joint discussion of thu thrco candidates for
governor of Arkansas , thu circumstances of
which were substantially these : i'hoy were
billed for an afternoon address , but the
democratic mnnacers refused to moot tuo re
publican candidate until evening , because by
postponing the dcbato until evening Iho
farmers most of whom were cither populists
or republicans , would have gone home.
However , the republican candidate spoke in
the afternoon nnd was Interrupted conMdcr-
ablv , hut not much motn than is done oc
casionally In the north by democratic hood
lums. In the evening the joint uobnto was
held. Tno lirst speaker was the democratic
Candida to. nnd a most respectful si
lence prevailed IhrouRhotil. The republican
followed. The hoodlums made some uls-
lurhanco , but not. of a serious character.
They reserved the most of their lung capac
ity for Iho populist candidate , who was not
permitted to ullor ono complete senlonco
without , interruption , so ho told mo tbo next
morning , during Us entire speech of one
hour and u Half. No violence was offered
him , but hud the populists attempted to quell
the disturbance tbcro is no telling what
would have happened. The democratic can
didate was manly enough , as were a few
other leading democrats , to attempt to pre
serve order , but failed , yet thcra was no
DUOIIC denunciation of the outrage by tlio
democratic machine.
Another Infamous Cane.
Another case more infamous than tha
above came under ray notice. The oopullns
had arranged for an open air mooting on Ihe
postolllco square in the town where I was
htopning. Tbo democrats had a moetluc the
same cveniiiL' . The Younjj Mou'a democratic
club and the Worliinstron's Democratic club
were marching through tbo streets In
tlio place of their mooting. When passing
Uio populilu nicotine rotnan candles und
other liroworlcs were discharged and great
tumult prevailed. Later the U'orlcinpmen's
Democratic clue marched right through
Ihe crowd nt the populilo meeting
and with force compelled the speakers to
ccaso. Pandemonium reigned , and the
meeting was completely broken up. Thov
did not lav violent hands upon Iho speakers ,
bul had Ihov not jumped from the wacoii in
which they flood while sneaking they might
have suffered violence , us the same was
hauled uwny oy the mob. There wi'ro some
democrats and ether prominent citizens pres
ent who made some effort to stop the mob ,
bul could not do soand for their own safely
went away. The poltuo and county ofllcials
did nothing , neither was this damnable piece
of heliishness denounced , cither by the ofllelal
democracy or Ihu party proas. The next
morolncr a member of Ibe Workingmen's
Democratic clue told mo that tbo schema tr
break up the popullto mooting was hu'chetl
In thn club room of the organisation early In
the evenlue of the spoalcing , that the presl
dent of tbo club was to mildly denounce the
outrage when it was accomplished , which
I was told , was also done , though I did uoi
hear it. Tbo program , however , was verj
faithfully carried out. It seemed to hurt tin
reputation of tbo democratic parly and was
roundly denounced by the bettor citizens o
all parties , yet it did not diminish the vou
of iho party.
Dnliiy Injury to the .South.
Those exhibitions of lawlessness and Intel
oranca are an injury to the south and wll
doubtless rolnrd its growth In matcria
wealth. Yet that is not tuo most of It. Tin
moral and Intellectual advancement Is ondnn
gored. Few people will want to go south ti
iniko homos whou Ibo ncht to oxerclso al
the functions of free manhood is uonicd them
But 1 believe Iho onlv solution and settle
ment of these questions will como throucl
time nnd a freer intercourse and nccjuam
lance between tbo two sections. The ques
tion of political toleration will ultimately settle
tlo itself , but It will require a eonoralloi
oftlino to ancompllsh ft. The domoeratii
puny of the south Is so constituted und th
laws are so framed that iho leaders thoreo
can parpotuato their power a thing tha
will bo done ns long as possible , BO that tuor
is nothing in liopo for from lhat source t
solve the question of freedom of speech an
ballot in the south. The only hopu in llv.i
line is that they will fall out among thutn
solves In Ibo fight for spoils nnd the mnchin
invented to crush the republican parly an
all olhor opposition lo their rule will nveuti
ally crush tlio democratic demon thai no' '
threatens to crush qvery lull-rest of trull
morality aud common decency in the soutl

have oocn In mauy of the southern and all
the Pacific slates , and U is common for tl
sonlhern and wcslern democrats to boast nt
chuo.do over iho wily sbomes which the
have so succossfull/ worked upon ropub !
cans. 1 doiail below in plain words tl
tr'lcKs which they do not deny :
The pooplu's party is really the soulhoi
jr alliunco. organized iu the southern states f
u ? the snmu purpose as tbo old grange mov
in inunt luid each originally proclaimoil again
making o political parly of itself. Tl
Is grange permitted Itself to bo drawn Into no

hopelessly divided Ils inRoibera und rulm
d ,
Iho organization ,
The tomporauco movement was noxtdrav
of Into u political scbomo by Ibo democrats , ui
luo temperance narly campaign fund , osi :
daily for Neu York slatu , sotno years a ;
p- was furnished by democrats , who Unow
great majority of tomporauco men wcro i
publican * , thereby diverting enough repu
llcans from the republican ticket to car
tbo electoral vote of Now Yorlt stale f
or . I I Cleveland by a bare faw rundred volos.
j. The temperance pooplt * , al least Ihe thin
ing republican ones , noon saw how Ibcjr b
boon used to paw out Ihe chestnuts f
Cleveland , and Ibo lomporanco party , boil
Ir.n . hopelessly divided , lost its power.
n The ulltunco movomonl , ullbougU prote :
ily Ing over uud over against mailing itsall
polltlcftl inrty , wnn of outhurn tilrth nntl
composed nlmost wholly of duniocrnU who
hudnolovo for the raniiblloitu partv. The
frco trndo ilomocrHts of the nouth saw an
other ppporttinlty to dtipa nn -gunlr.Mlon
Into political form , and use 11 to divert ro-
publicins from the ohl pifrtyi Tnoso south-
nrn democrats hnowliig thnt most of the
farmers of tbo northwest were republican * ,
and that the democratic majorities In Iho
south could not bo nvorcomo b.v thp alliance ,
sent their alliance oillcors into iho north
west to enlist and enroll the forming cle
ment as iho ijt would catch more ronublt-
cans than democrats , The regular demo
crats of the ? outlt and north tlion conspired
with the democratic alliance of the south to
pi a co iho alliance i-ohvontlon nt Omnlia ,
N'ebrasxn , In the bourlof the northwostnnd
in Iho cantor uf republican strength , thnt it
might bo easy tor republican * to wu'k ' Into
thdgrnb-net.
Too democrats have had two objects in
the o schemes. Mrst , to divert enough re
publicans into iho nil Inn uo or noonlo'a parly ,
ns now called , lo give the domocr.itlo prosl-
uonilal candldnio u majorltv ot the electoral
collectanil secondly , If this mnjoriiy cannot
be obtained to ihorcby prevent ttio ropJb-
llcun candtd.Mo from colling such malority
and throw the election Into the house of
representatives , which Is overwhelmingly
ttomocraili' .
Thai parl of Ibo twolftu amendment of the
constitution of iho United States which con
trols the election , If In the house , rouds as
follows :
"Tho president of thoronato shall In the
inesonco of the sennto and house of repre
sentatives , open all the certitlcatcs and the
votes shall then bo counted. The poison
having the greatest number of votes for
president shall bo the president. It such hum-
bor bo u majority of the whole m.inbcr ut
olcciors ( electedMUiDolntod ; ana if no per

ing three on the list of those voted for as
prcsldoi t Iho house of rnui'oscnlalives shall
choosoiinmcdlalely by tiatlol Iho president ,
bill in choosing Ihe president the voles .shall
bo tmion by btntcs , the ropresentullon
from ouch state having ono voto. A
quorum for this purpose shall consist
ot a niombor or members fiom two-lhlrds
of Iho slutrs , and a majority of nil the slates
shall bo necessary to a choice. And If the
bouse of representative shull not cheese n
president whenever the right of choice shall
devolve upon them before the 4lh day of
March next following , tlion thu vice presi
dent shall act as picsldcint , ns In the case of
the death or other constitutional disability
of the president ,
The person having the gioatusl number of
voles as vice president shall bo the vice
president , if MICH number bo a majority of
the whole number of electors appointed
felcctcd ) , and if no DOMOII have u majority ,
then from the two highest numbers on the
list the bnnnto Muill choose the vice provl
dent. A quorum for tuo purpose shall con
sist nf Iwo-tLtrds of the whole number of
senators , and a iniijonty of tbo whole num
ber shall bo iK'cessary to n choice. "
Vou see the constitution reads "but In
choosing tbo nrosldent the votes shall bo ta
ken by .states , the loprrsunlnllon from each
stuto having ono veto. " The democrats claim
to have a majority of thn stales b.v ihcir roo-
icscntntion in the present congress. If RO ,
they will , it it goes to tlio hojsc , make Mr.
Cleveland , and not any other democrat or al-
llanco nimi as some nnuduuedly contend. If
Cleveland shall bo elected by tbo diverting
ol republican votes to tbo nllfanco candidate ,
then twice Cleveland is elected by republi
cans being drawn Irani the path bv n Ignis
futuus uuon a democratic nolo. Should dl-
vi'rlcd republicans thus elect Cleveland thov
will oo so distrusted with Uio alliance move
that her oolitical death will boon follow.
No party organized soloiv in iho interests
of anv one class of people of n nation , or
several classes , can onrturo long. A national
party must bo organized and maintained it :
the interest of tbo whole people , the bony
politic , as wo should say. to be enduring.
The alliance man , democrat or republican ,
has but to count up the brief lives of all the
parties organircd in tbo interest ot a pait
oil iv of a nation lo satisfy himself of this.
How can any ropuolican , under this olnln
state of facts , who votoa for I'rosidont Harrison
risen four years aco. excun himself for not
vollns for him on the Slh nexU Harrison
has given us one of Iho cleanest and ublost
civil administrations since the establishment
of our government. Ho has shown himself u
diplomat and : t 'over ot his country and her
peoplii. Ho has thrown the full "weight or
bis power to protect the manufacturing ,
mechanical and lanorins ; elements or this
country , and , bv reciprocity , has tlnowu the
protection around the farm producing com
munity such as it never before enjoyed. Ho
stands nuuror the hilver clement than Cleve
land.
Every i opublican vote should kill n dem
ocratic vote , and every republican vole
diverted to the alliance leaves a counting
vole for ( Jlnvelaml. A republican alliunco
voter really casts his vote for Cleveland , the
very man who is most antagonistic to his in-
lercsls. ' .fAMna Nuvn.u : .
