THE Republican leaders insist that
the success of their party is a perfect
panacea for panic in the business af-
fairs Of the country. 1t was not ever
thus, They swept the country in 1872
aud yet everybody knows the finan-
cial distress that followed and from
which the country did not begin to re-
cover until the Democracy obtained a
footing in Congress and put an end to
the ruinous financial policy of the
party that had so long controlled the
Government in every department.
Let that party again obtain complete
control and the same system of legis-
lating for the interests of the rich mo-
nopolists will be adopted to be followed
by like results. There is 10 other par
ty in this country than the Republican
in favor of the demonstration of sill
yer and the destruction OF the green
bacy currency. Let the honest, work
ing men ponder these facts and answer
at the polls next Tuesday whether they
will support such destructive meas

MOREY IDENTIFIED,
BY q Crisptn From Lynn

BY a Crisptn From Lynn.
Utica Observer. 2ad. :
William Nash, of the Reynolds
Brothers shoe factory in this city, was
in Lynn in 1878, and for ten years be-
fore that. He worked in the factory
of Morgan & Dore in that city and
went out with the other Crispins at
the time of the famous lock .out' insti-
tuted by the shoe manufacturers
against that union in 1878. The en-
ployers, determined to destroy the
Crispins, formed a union, opened an
agency and set machinery at work to
get outside workmen. Mr.. Morey had
charge of this agency and distributed
the men hired by it around among the
factories. Mr.. Nash had no personal
acquaintance with this Morey, but
knew him. as other Crispins knew him
by sight on the streets as the repre-
sentative of the employers who were
trying to break up the shoemakers' Or
ganizatiOn, and saw him daily. Mr..
Nash says that the pretense that there
was no such man there and that he
had not the position in the Employers
Union which Garfield assigns him in
his letter is absuad. Mr.. Nash fur
thermOre says it is not strange that the
denial of Morey's existence should be
based upon the authority of the Boston
Traveller because during the labor
troubles in Lynn the Traveller was one
of the worst enemies the workingmen
had to contend with.

THREE hundred and fifty Repuhli-
cans in Coshocton county scratched
the name of Mr.. Dorsey, the ;colored
candidate of that party for Infirmary
Director. So, it would appear that all

confined to the Democratic party. fi
ARE you opposed to giving into the
hands of chartered monopolies the en-

country, thus enabling them to con-

A man named J. B. Doyle, having
in his possession $2O7, 600 in govern

He is supposed to belong to a big gang

IFthe tariff question is one of such
vital and overshadowing Importance,
and if the views of the Republican
party are 80 well established on the

ton with the Golden Free Trade Club

A BILL was offered Feb. Is, 1855, to
make the pay of private soldiers $50

the bill, but voted to increase the of

NEW YORK, October 21.-The Ma.
tional Democratic Committee issue the
following tonight:
To the Public:
When this campaign opened the
National Democratic Committee con-
tracted with the American Union and
Western Union Telegraph Companies
for special rates for their business, and
arranged with said ompanies that all
kilograms sent or received by the com.
mittees should be returned at the end
of each week to the cashier of the com.
mittee as vouchers for bills rendered
kilograms SO sent or received by the
committee have been returned under
this arrangement weekly and paid for
according to contract. On "Wednesday
morning, October 20, the Western
Union Telegraph Company returned
to the Committee vouchers, as usual
for the second week in October. Upon
these being examined by Dur cashier
to verify the amount the following tel
egraIns Were found in the packages 20
sent us as vouchers, evidently being a
mistake on the part of the official hav-
ing the same in charge at the office OF
the Western Union Telegraph Compa-
ny. The kilograms are written upon
Western Union blanks and are as fol-
lows:

The numerals $50" and 100" in
this last telegram mean so many men.
These kilograms, or rather the one ad-
dressed to F. w. Wicker, United States
Collector at the port of Key West, Fla.
tells its own story. The sun had not
gone down in the State of Indiana,
where one of the greatest frauds ever
perpetrated on free government or ~
free ballot were about to be consum-
mated, when the Chairman of the Ma
tional Republican Committee and an
official of the United States Govern
ment, were preparing to repeat in the
State of Florida the infamy then about
to be consummated in the State of In
diana.
The committee were advised previ-
Gus to the receipt of these kilograms
that the State of Florida was about to
be Overrun by the repeaters of our
large cities. The kilograms of Mr..
Jewell only confirm what the commit
tee well knew to be the fact.
The above kilograms are in the pos
session of the committee, they are
written in copying ink, have been
copied in letter press book, and bear
the telegraph receivers checks and
marks, and this committee defies any
one to assert that they are not genuine
The kilograms are now being litho-
graphed and will be given to the pub
lie in day or two.

ALL talk about a free-trade party in
this country is the sheerest nonsense.
There is and can be no such party
while the government debt amounts to
$1,000, ,OOO, 900. The Democrats, ever op-
posed to mOnopolies, believe in tariff
for revenue, believing that such a tar
ihf will afford ample protection to all
manufacturing industries of the coun-
try, while the Republicans. the cham
pions of monopolies and special privi-
leges, believe in levying duties on
foreign IMPORTS. e. taxing the people
thereon-for the special benefit of
mammoth monopolies, and nothing
else.

The Kepubliean Program

The Republican Program.
The program of the Republican
party, in case they obtain the power
i'm all departments Of the government, i,
is plainly foreshadowed. 1t is to
/. Demonetize silver.
2. Destroy the Greenback currency.
3. Fund the maturing bonds into
thirty-year bonds, and thus perpetuate
the public debt.
4. Give to the National Banks absO-
lutte control over the volume of paper
currency, thus enabling them to make
money scarce or plenty at their su-
preme will and pleasure, to control the
wages of labor and the prices of proper
ty, and thus hold the destiny of the
Republic in their hands.
That this is their fixed purpose there
can be no shadow of q doubt. Hayes
in his last annual message, and Secre'
tary Sherman in his annual report
recommended the first two PROPOSE
lions and it is well known that Gar
fields sentiments are in perfect har
mony with the plan thus marked out
Are the laboring, producing people
prepared to surrender their libertie
and dearest rights into the keeping o
monied monopolists and become tn
mere " "hewers of wood and drawers o
water" to privileged class Let then
answer at the polls next Tuesday.

The hesitancy and delay of Garfield
In denying the Chinese letter, cannot
afford his friends any great degree OF
assurance that his denial is truthful.
If the letter was not his, what was
the necessity of his waiting two or
three days after it's appearance, until
he was interviewed by the party lead
ers, and urged by the National Com.
mittee to speak out. The fact is, ev-
cry circumstance goes to show the
letter 10 be genuine, and that Garfield
denied it because he "had to-" But
he protests too much. He pronounces
it "bold forgery both in language
and sentiment" while even his warm
est personal friends admit that it is in
entire harmony with his votes and
record upon the Chinese question,
while his record for truth and yeraci.
ty is not Of that stainless character to
inspire implicit confidence in the sim
.cerity of his denial.

To assert that the Democratic party
plunged this country from the pima
Gle of happiness and prosperity into
the abyss of civil war, rapine and de-
vastation is colossal lie. 1t was not
the Democratic party that denounced
the Union as League with hell and
a covenant with the devil" 1t was
not the Democrats who pronounced
American flag a "polluted rag" 1t
was not Democrats who went shouting
"no Union with Shareholders" They
were not Democratic professions that
marched through the streets Haunting
sixteen starred flags. But it was the
Democrats who were jeered at and
taunted by their Republican neighbors
as being Union savers" and today
the only hope Of having restored,
happy, harmonious and prosperous
Union is centered in the success of the
Democratic party.
