SylUdnid ;-lndiana votes Republican
by small majority. Ohio holds her
position as Republican State. The

disaster to our cause as Maine was to

temporarily TO our foe. But Indiana
will be redeemed, for Hancock is
stronger than the local candidate
everywhere. Out of this nettle, dan.
ger, we will pluck the flower, safety.
We are done with side issues and weak
candidates, for November gives q
broader field, and Hancock is at the
front. Arouse the people everywhere I;

age the hesitating preach and teach
tho truth with renewed energy; re.
double your efforts among the masses
make them feel that this battle is for

independence against the domination
OF employers; to personal right against
corporate power; TO State pride and
love OF country against centralized
government and federal corruption; to
the rule of the people against an army
of office holders. We fight for the
State, for Electors, Congressman and
the Legislature. Let it be with the
earnest force of men who are deter.
mined to coerce victory and we can
carry Pennsylvania for our gallant
son. He saved the State and the Re-
public at Gettysburg. Let us rally

"These colonies are, and of right ought

TO THE PEOPLE.
Ak ADDRESS TO TnE DEMOCRATIC AND
CONSERVATIVE VOTERS OF THE
COUNTRY

!
NEw YonK, OCTOBER l4-Atamcet-
ing Of the Democratic National Com,
mIttee, the following address was
adopted
TO the Democratic and Conservative 70
ters Of the Country;
The election of President and Vice
Presideut Is now before you. State
and local dissensions are eliminated
from the issues of the day. The mag.
nitude of victory or defeat can only
bc estimated by the forces and means
employed in securing it. By fraud
aud corruption the people OF the conn.
try were defeated in their purpose in
1876 and the rightfully elected Presl.
dent was kept from office. With the
combined capital Of tho Republican
party, aided by repeated assessments
upon an army of oflice e.holders, with
the power OF the Federal Government
represented by the United States Mar.
shals ut the polls with intimidation,
fraud and resort to every corrupt ap.
pliance known to Republican methods
concentrated in the two States our ad.
gersares have succeeded in procuring
the probable return Of their local can
didates. Can it be possible that in
every State throughout this broad land
the same methods can be brought TO
bear that were used by the Republican
managers IN Indiana and Ohio? Can
the great States of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut, California, Colo
RADIO, Nevada and New Hampshire be
bought, intimidated and deirauded2 ?
Even without the vote Of Indiana,
which | believe will bc redeemed in
November, with New York and New
Jersey, and these States are conceded
to us, including Maine, the election of
our candidate is assured. The Repub-
lican party have put IN nomination for
President and Vice President, two
men who by the admission of their
own party and press are unworthy of
your confidence and sufTrages. 1t is
impossible that fifty millions of intelh.
gent and patriotic people will consent
to place themselves upon the humilia,
ting level thus prepared for them by
the Republican managers.
Fellow citizens, the first days re.
pulse at Gettysburg ended on the
third, with Hancock in the front, in a
glorious victory. That victory secur.
ed us our Union Tho question is not
now the preservation of the Union,
buto constitutional government. Han.
cock is now, as then, in the front.
The repulse is now, as then, the omen
of victory which is to secure to com.
ing generations the incstimable bless.
ings of civil liberty.
By order Of the Democratic Ma.
tional Committee.

der her free grace labor will get oil It's
share, and capital will be productive IN
the hands of those who have Just
right to its control Atpresent politi'
clans exercise this control, and all cap
ital is at the mercy Of tho Treasury
Department When the Democratic
policy is established tho Treasury will
be powerless to distribute tho proceeds
of industry 70 its iavorites, but equal
and exact Justice will bo meted out TO
the productive classes by the free play
of natural laws. The Republican policy
tends to the unequal distribution Of
property and the degradation Of the
laboring classes to the condition OF

the more rqN2l AVID general distribu.
ton Of the proceeds OF Industry by pre-.
serving and exalting the rights and
liberties OF the masses to a condition of
comfort and prosperity, Of which we
have had foretaste, but by no means
the full fruition TO this country. This
fruition can only be prevented by con
yerting tho government Of our fathers
into self perpetuating oligarchy OF
Office holders. This is the great danger
to capital and labor alike, and the com.

or whether IL is to be run as Il machine

holders and OF their patrons who find

petuation Of ring rule, appeal then

whether this government is to stand
upon the basis OF equal rights to all its
citizens, or whether il is hereafter to
bo run in the interest OF the special
class who have bad their grip on the
Republican party for the last twelve
years, and who will have an underly-
ing mortgage on the next administra.
tion, if it should be Republican, with
an irrevocable power OF attorney for
General Garfield to distribute its pat.
ronage and determine its policy in favor
of property without regard TO the
