ALREADY, says the Washington
Post, the campaign of Grant for
1884 has taken tangible shape. At
a Republican meeting in New York on
Wednesday night, as General Grant
made an unexpected appearance on
the stage, one of his toadies shouted
1884" and a hundred or more i'm
perialists cheered Justify. The affair,
although seeming impromptu, has very
much the appearance of that i'm
promptu enthusiasm for Grant and a
third term, which was laboriously
worked up for six or eight months be-
fore the "strong man" was temporarily
suppressed at Chicago. There is not
a shadow of doubt that General Grant
and his co-workers mean business.
They intend to put Grant into the
White House in 1884, and all their
efforts for Garfield are made with the
understanding that his administration,
if he is elected, shall be so managed
as to make the succession of Grant as
easy as possible. We need go back
only five months to find, in the ablest
and most conservative Republican
newspapers, the assertion that third
term of Grant means life tenure for
Grant and scion of his house to follow
him. A vote for Garfield will be q
vote for this delectable programme.
How many decent men want any of
it?

Address of Chairman Dill.
Eloquent 1ppedt to the U'OrkinD-
men of Pennsylvania.
Will Workingmen Surrender Their Ballots
and Their Rights of Citizenship at
the Dictation of Purse Proud
and Tyrannical Employers?
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. "a.

10 the Democracy Of Pennsylvania:
Democracy means the rule of the
people. Its founder recognized and en-
forced the dignity and power Of the in
dividual citizen, of individual thought,
control and government MS the essence
of republican liberty. Imperialism,
otfice-holding oligarchy, corporate die
tation, the rule of money by the en-
ployer over the employe, are all at
war with our creed, our traditions and
our rule. Intimidation and every form
of coercion and corruption, and every
form of bribery of the voter are all at
variance with the genius and the letter
of our Constitution and laws, State
and Federal, and we will see that such
ofenses are punished.
The Democratic party is largely
composed of the industrial classes and
must therefore represent their interests
and rights. To-day many of the cor
porations, the wealthy manufacturers,
the great iron masters, are attempting
to debauch them with their money or
to coerce them with their power. They
threaten to take the bread out of their
mouths, to starve their wives and
children unless they vote as employers
dictate. We address them. Can YOU
permit this tyranny and still claim to
be freemen Are you slaves because
you labor for your daily bread? Must
you surrender the right to a free bal
lot to obtain the right to work? When
that day comes it will be fatal day
for you and your liberties. Let the
overseers Of corporations and manu-
facturers drive you to the polls to vote
as they dictate, let their candidate be
chosen by your craven submission, and
you surrender that equality which is
the chief glory of American citizen
ship.
What is the remedy? Simple, plain,
easy, for brave men. Assert your
rights. Vote as you please. Let wealth
know that your labor is your capital
and that your ballot must represent it.
Their candidate is on one side only
the side of capital. He is for free
trade in merchandise and in men, and
is the enemy of your interests. He
wants Cinnamon to come here and
take your places if you complain, or
to work by your side for a pittance if
you submit. lie has said so over his
own hand and by his votes in Congress.
Our candidate is General Hancock
who shed his blood for you in defense
of the country. He is the representa-
tive of all the people. He is your
representative because his faith is your
faith. He has said over his hand that
he is in favor of protection to Ameri-
can industry. He will be the Jealous
guardian of capital and labor if you
elect him president. Trust your friends,
not your enemies. Stand by the men
who stand by you. Do not be de-
ceived or frightened. Vote as your
conscience may dictate. DO this and
We will win. We have a majority of
the people of the republic and if they
vote their votes will be counted and
Hancock will be elected and inaugu.
rated President of the United States. '
