ALBANY, N. Y, October 3.-Important
information continues to come from the
West to the Executive Chamber regarding
the temper Of the working classes in adyo-
cacy of Governor Cleveland, and denuncia-
ton of Blaine and the Republican policy in
| general To-day an interesting communica-
ton was received from Mr.. A. II. Brown,

the labor interests of the West for more
than twenty-five years. Among other strik

Republican Trick Exposed.
The sweeping charges made by the Re
pubGcans and followers of Butler, before,
during and shortly after the Democratic
I National Convention, against Governor

were inclined to believe that mistake had
been made in the nomination Of the stand

der the full control Of such men as Jay
Gould, Cyrus W. Field Russell Sage and
their assistants including the stock jobbing
and corrupt newspaper managers who are
endeavoring to elect James G. Blaine. In
Chicago there is every reason to believe
that the vote Of the working classes this year
will be given to greater extent that at any
previous election in favor of the Democratic
national and State ticket.

false. Gradys antecedents as a member Of
the Legislature and in many other respects
