THE Tammany society last week went
through the form Of making a clean
record for itself, but at the same time
took especial care to make a dangerous
stab at Cleveland. The following is a
passage from the formal address which,
while it may be pleasing to the average
Democrat, is peculiar Kind of endorse
ment:
The people of the city demanded to
have elevated railroad corporations con-
fined TO legitimate returns for the capital
invested in the valuable franchise which
was conferred on them by the city and
State. After prolonged struggle with
all the influences that capitol can employ,
labor, secured ictory in the Ltgisla
ture, only to be tLwarted by We: o in the
Executive chamber. A bill limiting :he
hours of labor of car drivers and con
ductors. passed the Legislature. IL was
met with an Exc. utiye veto.. and killed.
thereby continuing the hardships of an
honest. oyerworked body of men The
laborers and mechanics of the State
sought to protect themselves from loss at
the hands of dishonest contractors and
employers, and caused to be passed an act
by the Legislature giving the lien of the
mechanic and laborer priority over all
others. This also suffered the same fate.
We might add and enumerate other il
stances, but We have shown sufficient to
have warranted even stronger opposi
ton on our part to the nominee of the
Democratic party than We made at Chi :
cato.' %

The coming of Alexander Sullivan,
ex-President of the Irish National Land
League of America TO Belmont county,
is the event of the campaign in this part
of Ohio, and is an occasion of import
ance and interest Mr.. Sullivan is the
most distinctly representative Irish
American in the country. He early an
nounced his purpose to support Blaine
and Logan, and for that reason declined
reelection to the Presidency If the
Irish National League. He is discir
pie in the fullest sense of that grandest
Irishman who ever lived = Daniel o.
Connell-the friend of America, and
the undying foe to human slavery. Like
O'Connell, he has seen the effects of free
trade upon unhappy Ireland He has
seen how it has crushed far-off India.
He will show with wonderful power
how England hopes 10 fast en- the same
system upon the United States, and thus
we become merely an agricultural peo.

address will be of interest to all nation

to Irish-Americans and to all men who
depend for livelihood upon the labor

Maine has no mercy. Its returns come
in worse and worse for the Democrats ey
cry day. Their distress is painful to
witness, for all their ammunition for the
campaign is spoiled by this enc disaster.
1t is worth while to consider how com
piets is their discontinue. Their am
munition WAS as follows:
l. eAr Blaine is a corrupt and dishonest man" !"
His neighbOrs, who know him most thor
|oughly. including among them the most
honest and intelligent people of one OF
the purest and mo-, t Intelligent States of
the Union, have given to aid him the
largest majorities ever given to any can
diddte.
IL. "Mr. B1ine is Knoso- Nothing 4"
Half the Irish-born citizens of his own
tow n and other towns in Maine, where
his whole life has been known, have ex
ploded that lie by voting to promote his
election.
III. "Hr Bldine's methods haze beS1 50 Of
tensdoe that good citizens must re6rke them F"
The people of Maine, who have known
all about his methods, nail that false
heod by their overwhelming majority.
". "Ar. Blaine is opposed by tremendous
Republican, reUOlt The enormous contribu-
tions of money 10y rich men in Boston to
obtain votes against Mr.. Blaine in his
own State were as important as the per
sonal efforts of their agents, or the tons
of addresses by Mr.. Curtis and Speeches
by Mr.. SchurZ which were sent into the
State. The laundering proclamation
turned out to have no votes behind it.
The Democratic party proved weaker
with these recruits than it had been
without them.
BEai1e's defeat" Ihe largest vote ever poll
ed for any candidate in Maine is the an
iswer Apathy of the same surt else
where will appear in due season.
vi. "The tariff is not an issue; the people
care nothing about it" In manufacturing
State, the only towns where the gains
were not amazing were those where the
mills have been clesed by Democratic ag
itation of the tariff, and where tire labor
ers have thus been forced to seek EN-
ploymeHt elsewhere.
VII. '7he Republicans can get no money,
the assessments Of officials being stopped" The
voluntary contributions from people who
do not want their industries destroyed by
Democratic reform" seem to suffice to
put speakers in the field, and when the
peolpe hear the facts they know how to
vote.
VIII. "7he people rant a change" aaBut
the change they are voting for is the ex-
tinction of the Democratic party, the
tool for fifty years of British free-traders.
TX. "7urn the rascaIs ont The votes
show that the rascals who stole Maine a
few years ago, and those who tried to
steal the Presidency in 1876 by bribery,
the shot gun and cipher dispatches, and
in 1880 by vile ISLANDERS, and the Morey
forgery, and hired perjuries, are out
already, and are going to stay out.-N.

The Truth About 1t.

In places were the mills have closed
and many workmen are idle, the Demo
Gratis reason How could We possibly
be worse off than we are now?' 1t
may be well to consider that matter
little. To day the mills are closed in
many places because there is fear of
Democratic success, and these who con
template purchases or contracts for large
quantities Of manufactured products are
hoping that 4 reduction of the tariff may
enable them to buy at cheaper rates the
products of ill+paid labor abroad. AS
consequence, orders are withheld, pur
chases are confined to immediate neces-
sites, and mills are obliged to work part
of the time or not at all.
This is most trying for the workers,
whose wages are thus reduced, or who
are thrown out of employment. They are
intelligent Americans, and know what
the cause is. and understand right well
that Democratic victory would bring
the very misfortunes now feared. They
know. TOO, that the election of n Repub-
lican President and Congress would re,
store the state of facts which existed in
the fall of 1882 when ree.traders sue
ceeded in a great number of districts.
In that event, purchasers would under
stand that they had ne reason to expect
any change in the duties on imports; /;
that the products of ili-paid labor abroad
would not be permitted to come into
this market, WITHOUT paying any charge,
to compete with The labor of American
citizens. and that the Democratic part
would not have power to aid its sympa.
thiZers abroad. Orders would then be
given and purchases made. because there
would be ne longer reason for delay.
1t may be doubted whether there is an
intelligent business man of either party
who does not realize that the immediate
effect of sweeping Republican victories
in Ohio and West Virginia. giving as
surance of a triumph of the American
policy in November. would be revival
of Industries 'hrnHghout the country.
Wh-.lher ihe working people desire that
result or not is for them to say.-N. Y.

view Of Cleyeland's chances for the

York. He will be beaten in this state
by majority of not less than tifty thou

Why, then, should genuine Democrats
any longer think of tying themselves up
hopeless candIdacy? It was a mis-
Ike from the first. We warned It's au-
tbOrs before the nomination at Chicago
that they were engaged i'll an enterprise
which WAS doomed 10 disaster; and this
doom is now so plainly apparent that
only the blind. can fail to see it.
