Pottery Manufacturers and Others Com.
peliins their Hsuds to Vote for blaino.
1t is learned on what is believed to be
good authority that the Republican manu-.
fscturers of Trenton, n. j., have notified
their employees that thsy must vote for
Blaine or suffer the consequence. This il
especially true OF the potteries. One Of
the book-keepers in O leading pottery
stated that bis employer told him to-day
that II Cleveland was elected he should
sell his residence. reduce his business one
half, retrench all his expenses and dis.
charge halg of his workmen. Men in
most of the potteriss state that their en-
ployers have said they would close their
works IL Cleveland was elected. 1t Is be-
lieved coercion will be used II necessary
At the Hamilton rubber works thir-
teen men, all Democrats, have been dis
charged until after Tuesday next because
they attended Democratic primaries last
Saturday and Joined In Democratic
parade. The men were told they might
be employed again after election, but it
was doubtful. While many OF the work.
men are indignant at the talk and treat
ment of their employers, many Of them
will probably accept the situation and vote
for Blaine. They really believe their
bread ana butter depends upon 1t. Steps
will be taken, however, by the Democratic
managers to prevent coercion, II possible.
Four years ago the same tactics were used
by the Republicans. A number of men 10
RpeblinR's mills were discharged because
they favored Hancock and nearly every
pottery threatens to shut down in the
event Of 'Hancook's election. The scare
peated now.

The following card, signed by promi-
nent Republican citizens OF Albany, ex.
plains itself:
ALBANY, Oct. 81, 1884.
To whomever 1t may concern We, the
undersigned, most earnestly desire the
election of Mr.. Blaine and to that end we
welcome the employment Of every honor
able agency. But we condemn slanderous
attacks when used against the candidate of
our choice, In whose integrity we firmly
believe, and We equally denounce such
methods when they are employed against
the candidate OF the Democratic party.
1t has been brought to our attention that
In private letters allegations against the
purity of Governor Cleveland's life In this
city are freely made. We have lived in
Albany ever since Mr.. Cleveland came
portance to these reports dsrogatory to his
private life. because We sincerely believe
that they have no foundation In fact.
Governor Cleveland has led an extremely
laborous official life while In this city, and
90 far "a we know his private associations
have been OF thoroughly good repute. We
bear this testimony without reluctance,
for we believe that every gentleman on
both sides should stand up oourageously
and give tho weight OF his influence In
favor of honorable methods In tho con.
duct Of political campaigns.
