OUT of list of three hundred and fiji
ty eight German papers two hundred and
seventy eight ire supporting Cleveland
ard eighty are advocating Blaine. Here
tofore Il majority of these papers have
been republican What is true of the
papers printed in the German language is
equally true of the German people them
selves. In number of instances the
German papers have followed the people
and come out for Cleveland because they
found the subscribers supporting him
This was the case with the leading Ger
man paper in Illinois, the editor of which

supposed from business standpoint he
could not prudently raise the Cleveland
flag, but before he was aware he found
himself forced by the pressure of German
feeling to come out for Cleveland and
Hendricks.
