D
VINO AND WHAT is CLEVELAND?
He is man who has never shown
one atom of sympathy with Ameri-
can labor or desire for the advance
ment or encouragement of Ameri-
can manufactures or other indus
/ tries.
! An implaoable enemy of the work
/ ingnan. The labor associations Of
New York urged the abolition Of
of convict labor, a majority of l3o,-
600 votes sustaining their wishes.
Cleveland's influence rs governor
was thrown against the passage Of a
statute to carry into effect the ex-
pressed will of the people.
{ The Legislature of New York pass
ed bill reducing the fare TO five
cents on the elevated railways in
New York, SO largely patrouized by
laboring men going to and from
their work Cleveland vetoed it.
/ It is claimed that this was done in
the interest of Tilden, heavy stock
holder in the roads.
\ bill was passed To prevent or
phau aud other children of tender
years in the charitable institutions
from being let out to be worked in
gangs like state prison eonyiots.
Cleveland vetoed it.
The bill passed TO cut down pilots
fees he approved, as il was favorable
to the foreign ship owners whose
vessels SO largely enter into and de-
part trom the ports Of New York.
A bin to tax each engineer ~ he
approved, because it was tax on
labor.
The civil service bill met his ap-
proval, because its provisions We're
calculated to prevent q workingman
from obtaining an Office, aud was
favorable 20 the chances of college
and university graduates and dudes
generally
He vetoed a bill that would have
limited the labor of car drivers and
conductors to twelve hours day.
lie vetoed the lien law, that would
have secured the wages of laborers
and mechanics.
/ | m ght further enumerate the
acts of Cleveland in his hostility to
labor.
A man so utterly void OF sympa-
thy with, aud SO uniformly hostile
to the interests and welfare Of the
working classes, is not lit for Prosi
dent Of the United States. The Ia
boring meo of the country ought
never to pat him in power.
VINO AND WHAT rs HENDRICKSt
Another enemy to the working
nan, and bitter hater OF the color
cd people, ~ 1850, in his own state
of Indiana, when a member of the
constitutional convention, his only
speech was made in favor Of prohi.
biting free coored people from com
Ing into Indiana.
In 1854 he labored bard for the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise,
and favored the forcing Of slavery
into Kansas and Nebraska.
He strenuousIy opposed the aboli-
ton OF ~layery, and tried his best to
defeat the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments.
lie opposed the employment of
colored troops, and stigmatized their
enlistment, rs follows: "crownlng
act of iufamy on the part Of Re
publican congress" and added:
"The men will be marked who
have done this. The people whose
sons ard brothers are IN the field
will not forgive the insult"
He was Of the Vailandigham stripe
of Democrat without his courage,
lover of slavery, hater Of free
dom to any black man, and who
stated, January ! (, 1868:
"lIence, in my deliberate iudg
meut, African slavery, rs an instltu-
lion, will come out Of this conflict
ifty-fold stronger than when the
war began"
A sentiment and hope that met
the approval Of the present Demo
cratic nominee for the vice presi-
NHhNJ'
la the worst days Of Democracy
Hendricks was always found Gin the
front rank Of the worst wing Of II" ."
In 1864, after aiding 70 frame and
pass the resolution at the Chicago
; convention, "that the war was a fail
r ure," in his speech next evening in
r Chicago, be hoped "they could rise
and crush out aboIitionism, and
hu1 the smutty old tyrant (Lincoin)
out Of existence"
. Hendricks was Il rampant, ran
! corous rebel, a case-hardened copper
2 head of the most malignant, yeno-
z nous character. Only insane white
I or colored laboring men will give
e their suffrage to such an enemy to
their interests.
