Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1884-07-23

Mr.. Purcell has also retired from the
editorship Of his paper, the Rochester
Union, because he cannot cOnSclen-
tiously support Cleveland. Mr. Purcell
is one of the leading Democrats of the
Empire State, a man of character and
ability. His refusal to support Cleve-
land will cost that gentlemen several
thousand votes throughout New York
State.
EgrThere is general revolt against
Cleveland among the workingmen OF
Chicago. August Stermel, Secretary
of the Cigar-makers' Union, says that
of 800 votes of that organization only
three are for Cleveland; Charles W..
Rowan, Vice-President of the Interna-
tional Union, says: "The trades-unions
as a body are opposed to Cleveland"
William Powell, President OF the
Brickmakers' and Masons' Union, says
the union men are almost unanimously
opposed to Cleveland; the chief officers
of the Carpenters Union say the menu
beers are opposed to Cleveland and will
vote for Blaine.
FyMr. John Francis Marvin, of
Cambridge, Mass, writing from New
York to a friend, says: One hundred
thousand Irish-American Democrats
here and throughout the State will vote
for Blaine and Logan regardless or
whatever action Tammany may take.
The feeling is spreading that the time
has come to cut loose from the Democ-
racy and act independently in politics.
But little stock is taken in the Multi
gan circular roorbach. Cleveland's re-
fusal to allow the Equality of Worship
bill to come before him is strongly con-
tlemned. A conference is to be called
in few days for the purpose of form
ing a National Committee. Forward
this good news to our friends in Mass
achuSetts. Cleveland goes into the
fight without the Irish vote; the result
is inevitable"
EYThe Democrats are not very well
pleased with the remarks of Hon. Geo.
Vending, the anti-Ingersoll lecturer,
and a prominent Democrat of Illinois,
at the Democratic ratification meeting
in Bloomington. In his speech Mr..
Vending spoke in eulogistic language
of Blaine and Logan, characterlZlng
Blaine as one of the greatest statesmen
of the age, and man who would, II
elected, prove a President the country
could we'll be proud of. bespoke in the
same strain Of Logan, and his speech
throughout was strong Endorsement
of the Republican nominees. John
Oberly has taken exception to Wend-
ling'S speech, while other leading Dem
Ocrats of the city are greatly amazed
that the gifted Democratic orator
should utter such strong Republican
doctrines.
@James C. Gibbs, editor of the Nor
walk (O.) Daily Reflector, says Ohio can
be counted upon for q large majority.
II should say from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t
may 90 even higher than that. Just
before came away number OF Ger
man saloOnkeepers, who had bOlted last
fall, sent card to our office for publ
cation stating that as local issue they
have voted the Democratic ticket, but
that the Democratic party had not re-
deemed it's promises and they proposed
to return to their first choice. They
voice. I think, the sentiment of the
Germans all over the State. Gen. Rob
inson, our candidate for Secretary of
State, told me at the meeting Of the
State Central Committee, of which. I
am a member, that he thought we
would carry the State by $4,000 in the
October election, and by a largely in=
creased majority in November. He was
formerly Chairman of the State Conn
mittee, and is a competent judge in
such matters.
@Judge F. Wickham, of NorWalk,
O., says: Ohio is Blaine State all over.
We shall give him almost any majority
up to $4,000. He is the popular choice
among the Republicans, and will poll a
larger vote than any Republican who
could have been named, unless an
Ohioan had been selected. There are
elements at work in our favor that will
count largely in general results. The
Germans, who went oyer to the Demo-
Gratis on the Scott-law issue, have be-
gun to come back to us, since the Dem
Ocratic Legislature, after playing fast
and loose with them, adjourned with
out repeating the law, and the Supreme
Court, that was expected to declare it
unconstitutional, has not been able to
find an excuse to do so. The Germans
have found that Democratic promises
are not kept, and, being Republicans
on all other issues except the local ones,
are returning to us. Our candidate
for Secretary of State, Gen. Robinson,
is a strong man, and that will also help.
~"Abbe" McMaster says in the New
York Freeand1,'s Journal, one OF the
most distinctively Bourbon organs in
whole country:
New York has no use for Gov. Cleve-
land as Presidential candidate. Mr.:
Cleveland was elected by Blaine's
friends! These will vote for Blaine.
Mr.. Grover Cleveland, Governor, has
made bad record. His ruling that a
rich, moneyed corporation, by buying
up one Legislature, constituted itself a
high contracting power in a treaty with
the State, in place of being, as a cor:
poration, subject to the State, shows
chat the passable Mayor of Buffalo is
a failure as Governor, and would invite
disaster as Presidential candidate.
Whether John Kelly Or Tammany vote
for him or not, Mr.. Cleveland in sundry
matters has shown himself so favoring
concentration of power that Democrats
by the hundreds of thousands will re-
fuse to support him on the ground that
he is not in harmony with Democratic
sentiment. John Kelly for him or
against him, Mr.. Coy. Grover Cleye=
land is so generally dislikedd, and, what
is worse, despised, that he has no show
of carrying this State against James
G., Blaine,
