FRIEND AICMAsrER:

FRIEND NlCMASTER:
Please allow me through the me-
dunn of your paper short space, and
will endeavor to conhne myself to
facts that think are obvious to any
unbiased mind. AS time rolls around,
once in four years, we are called upon
to elect President and Vice President
Of these United States. Grover Cleve-
land Of New York, James G.. Blaine
of Maine, one of whom will be our
next President, regardless of any or
all of those little petty onc-horse side
shows. 1t is matter of very grave
and momentous Importance for the
free men and legal voters Of this civ
ilized and enlightened country to decide
into which of those two mems hands
will we place the helm to guide the old
ship of State safely into harbor. That
question we must answer at the polls
the 4th day of next November. We
are all mutually interested in the choice
of our legislators and lawmakers, and
more especially that of our Chief Mag.
istrate. Our freeman's oath instructs
us to cast our vote for the greatest good
OF the greatest number. Now we
needn't feel any solicitude for the As
tors, the Goulds or the Tanderbilts.
They have got enough, and if they
haven't, if we elect Mr.. Blaine he will
take care Of them. Either one of
those railroad kings can we'll afford to
take u million out of their vaults to
secure Mr.. Blaine's election, for they
can rest assured that he will recon-
mend measures that are favorable to
them and veto any bill that will con-
flict with their interests, and thus re-
imburse them tenfold. Oh, they are
shrewd fellows, great financiers. But
there is another man entered in this
race, and his name is Grover Cleve-
land OF New York. The great city
of Buffalo, when it was sorely in need
of reform in her municipal affairs,
looked about her for mayor and
found Grover Cleveland to be the man,
and does not his official record show
that they made a wise choice, that
their confidence was not misplaced
Later, when the Democrats of the
great Empire State assembled in con-
vention they selected the reform mayor
of Buffalo as their standard bearer,
and thus enlarged his field for useful.
ness. And is it putting it too strong
to say that he is at least as good gov.

Again | say, as n panacea for the evils
you are suffering under Republican
protection, go West. There you will
find a broad field to labor ina field
that will afford you no excuse for idle
ness and all its consequent misery.
But, young men, middle.aged or old,
whether you are in the East, the West,
the North or the South, cast your vote
for an honest government, with Grover
Cleveland of New York and Thomas
A. Hendricks Of Indiana at the head.

Letter from Norwich.
NORWICH, Aug. %, 1884.

NORWICH, Aug. 70, 1854.
EDITOR OF TIE AGE last We'd
ncsday the Democrats of Norwich met
and erected two beautiful poles CT feet
long, with some elm poles 10 feet long
put in the tops, with red white and
blue streamers floating from the tops
feet in length, then raised Cleveland
and Hendricks flag 1G by % feet,
across the main street, giving three
cheers for Cleveland and Hendricks,
which closed the proceedings.
Saturday last, after putting forth
large hand bills, and circulating them
broadcast, the Republicans held their
grand rally, with Leut-Goy. S. E.
Pingree, Gen. William Grout and
Hon. George M. Dewey as speakers.
Where the "IIon." was obtained to
the last speaker, echo answers where?
1t might have been when procuring
butter and eggs through the country to
sell in Lowell, Mass, pocketing the
money and forgetting to pay for the
same. With band of music orders
were given to all to fall in and march to
the village church to hear the speakers.
After throwing to the breeze small
flag, some 12xlG feet with the names
of Blaine and Logan, Pingree and
Ormsbe-the procession numbered,
aside from speakers and band, includ-
ing boys, GG all told. The galleries
were reserved for the ladies', who found
abundance of room, the body of the
church by men and boys, with plenty
of spare room for more, which did not
come. In the evening their exercises
closed with torchlight procession,
numbering about 80, mostly boys, that
made u very good appearance, and
some remarks from Col. Comings, of
Lancaster, N. II. forgot to mention
that on raising the flag some remarks
were made by Frank Loveland. See
the next Landmark for particulars of
his address, as he is their correspond
ent. The whole grand iizzle for the
time and money spent; every day
disafected Blaine and Logan republi-
cans-the latest two declare for Butler.

letter from BHuriInnts.

HARrLANp, VT, Aug. %, 1884.
EDITOR OF THE GE.-Butler has
issued his pompous manifesto, and
talks about organizing peoples party,
and purifying the Government. He
talks a great deal in favor of the work.
ing classes, but that is all he has ever
done for them. He talks about his
platform, which he says the conven-
ton rejected. He talks against cor
ruption. The man who enriched him
self by stealing cotton from the south
ern people during the war, and now
sees the necessity OF a new party, from
the fact that the democratic party have
left him, and the G. o. p. have picked
him up. The people will not trust him
much longer. After this campaign
not much will be heard from Butler.
He is the great party jumper, the
chronic renegade and grumbler, and
again | ids farewell to the democratic
party.
The course of the New York Sun
has generally been patriotic and salts
factory to the democratic party, but it
has now gone over and is entirely
changed. Less than two years ago it
spoke of Gov. Cleveland as man pos
sessed Of the highest qualifications for
Office, sound principles of adminiStra-
ton duty, strictly honorably. upright,
etc, but now its attacks upon him are
mean and disgracetul. 1t is probably
because he hasn't crcpt and cringed
after its editor and asked his advice On
all questions pertaining to the admins
traton of affairs in the state. but the
Governor has taken an honorable.
strai clifford course thus far during his
official career, and will outlive all this
scandal and abuse hcaped upon him by
his opponents, either among bare head
ed democrats. like the editor of the
Sun, or the large class of republican
papers, like the Boston Journal. The
course the sun is taking by joining
forces with Kelley and Butler may
possibly, but we trust no:, seat in the
White House the ''plumcd knight, /"
whom it has denounced as the political
jobber. member of rings, the dema-
gogue of the worst type, and prince OF
corruptlonists, but is now helping him
perhaps indirectly.
Blaine is not the choice of large
portion OF the republican party, and the
nomination fell like a wet blanket upon
not only the leaders and most eminent
men like Edmun1s and Conkling, but
the rank and file; nearly all were dis
appointed aud many care but little for
the result. Blaine is called sensa
tional peddlar, driving u gaudy cart
with spirited horses. He charms the
crowd with his tongue, but goes
through the peoples pockets before he
leaves the fair ground. He lacks III
togrity and is the candidate of the
worst elements Of the party. His OBJ
ect is to win, but should he be defeat
ed by an overwhelming majority, the
people will say good bye Blaine and
good bye Logan. HAS.
