TIE Tactics or DESPAIR.

Baflled and beaten at every point, perfectly
well aware that they cannot win with Demo-
cratic votes, plus Independent votes to boot,
Cleveand's managers, as last ditch resort,
turn to Republicans that used to be known as
"Stalwarts" They cry aloud to the Stalwarts
80, come, now, please do help us get our chest
"nuts out of the fire! We Democrats cannot
"get them out, the Independents are OF no
"consequence-we turn in our despair to YOU
Well, this eleventh-hour prayer is worse
than vain the Stalwarts themselves being wit
nesscs. The Buffalo Commercial, which has
been the most uncOmprOmising of Stalwart
newspapers, declares that "the Democrats show
"that they deem their cause failing one when
"thcy try to bolster it up by claiming that there
sis sure to be a large 'Stalwart' detection"
There will not be any worth counting" The
Albany ErpresS, which used to be an equally
prominent figure in the Stalwart ranks, talks in
the same decided way. 1t says:
By appealing to fractional prejudice. The Argus hopes
10 gain "stalwart " votes FOR Cleveland IL mis-.
takes its "Stawarts" are not deserters. They
stand by the ticket every time They may be defeated in
conventions and then but II so. they neither bolt"
nor sulk their They give In to the majority and
also give loyal support such ticket their fellow Re
pubcaus may have nominated. II Is only short time
since The Atbaly Aryvs was egging on the socacd
IIalf Breeds" to bolt tho Republican ticket and show
ing what wicked men the " Stawarts" were Now It
proposes that the latter shall for Cleveland 1t has
honey ed words for them. It Invites them into its paror
on election day They will not 60 there. "Salwars"
are trc the tickets nominated by their National state
and local conventions.
Still aHOthcrncwspap which has done val
liant service for the Stalwarts, The Troy 1imcs
comments upon the so-called Oneida Stalwart
address rs follows
Certain Republicans OF oneida County have organized
boat Mr.. Blaine They formerly so-called stall
warts They ml7rcprcsent tho principles they prOesscd
and may inurc themselves, but not Nfr Blaine or tho
Republican party They az. animated by the spirit u
revenge born Of personal diskos and possibly Of per-
grievances but the Republican party Of the state
ana country il not willing to stop ito grand career
Just 10 crafty q feeling spite entertained by handful
of sorehcals oneida stalwartsm I'm opposing the Re-
publican nominees doesn't represent the Slawart Re
publican sentiment ~ the country.
No one who wsauythng ofpolitical history
will question the right Of these papers to speak
for the Salwnrts. No papers have n better
right. They speak ma those having authority.
And they unite in assuring the Democracy that
Slalwarts won't fight for Cleveland.
Republicans have had their differences in The
pnst and the fight of the factions was bitter.
Iut old things have passed away. To-day the
old party presents united front Ia the old
enemy. Slalwait aud Half Breed lighting aldo
by side with equal ntdor
What ~ Ia br your next card. Mr. llntnlim
The rounlf, n pretty we'll convinced that you
have nothing to inlcrpoir between Cleveland
and defeat. except yet mora Morcy lorgorioa,
