Rusiness Men Speak

The grandest demonstration made during
this canvass, or probably any other one
before it, by the business men was wit
messed in New y ork on Monday evening
last. The Tribune of the 2lst. summarizes
the character of the audience, briefly
The business mems demonstration in
honor of Blaine and Logan yesterday after
noon was one of the largest and most i'm
posing ever seen in this city. The parade
was in marked contrast with that gotten
up by the Cleveland managers few days
ago. 1t was composed OF clubs represent
ing the dry-goods trade, the Stock, Pro-
duce. Cotton, Mercantile and the two Pc
troleum Exchanges. the Jewellers trade.
the business men of lower Wall ST.. and
other bodies. The line of march included
Broadway. Wall. Broad, William andother
streets. There were three speakers stands
-one in front of the Sub-Treasury. one at
Wall and William Sts., and the third at
Broad st. and Exchange-pla The streets
in the neighborhood of the stands were
packed with people as far as the eye could
see. The speakers at the Sub Treasury
were Secretary Gresham. ex-senator Bout
well. General Woolford, Sherman S. Rogers
and General BusSey. AT the Wall and
William SITS. stand the crowds were adj
dressed by Senator Hawley and Alexander
Sullivan. At the Broad st. stand Senator
Hale, Mr.. Rogers and State Senator Nc
Carthy were the speakers.

vancement in wealth under Republican
rule and a protective tariff, clinched the
argument and left no room for doubt ; and
last, but not least of the important facts in
this memorable canvass was the part taken
by the young men of the state. In witness
ing the numerous professions of the past
two weeks at Columbus, Dayton. Spring
field and other cities. The american s cor
respondent was impressed with the sight
OF young men who crowded the ranks aud
excelled iii enthusiasm. The boys in the
Garfield campaign are the stalwart young
men who are proudly bearing the banner
OF Blaine and Logan. The old adage has
been verified in this canvass 'Those whom
the gods intend to destroy they first make
mad. For month past the Democratic
press OF Ohio have teemed with the vilest
abuse OF all who have been connected
with the management Of the Republican
canvass. Gentlemen not residents of the
state who felt interested in the result and
openly aided their Ohio brethren have been
subjected to the most coarse and brutal as
saults. Members of the National Repub-
llcan Committee who were requested by
the Republican state organization to aid
them, have been assailed with all the Bit
terneSS language could convey. United
States officers whose official duties required
their presence in Ohio have been de-
nounced, but all to no purpose. The peo-
pie were able to discriminate between truth
and error
The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1884-10-23

Would the interests of Staunton be pro-
NOTED by the election of ]. Randolph
Tucker to Congress? We think not.
Would the interests of Augusta county
be represented by Mr.. Tucker in Congress?
We think not.
Would the welfare Of Virginia be adj
vanced by endorsing Mr.. fuckers record
in Congress, in opposition to every impor-
tant measure affecting the interests and
sentiments of the people? We think
not.
Mr.. Tucker does not think with the pee
pie, does not feel with them, and cannot
consequently represent them in the sense
that the people want representation. His
past record shows that he considers it his
duty to reflect his own views rather than
those of the people who elected him. This
was exemplified in his vote for Carlisle
for Speaker over Randall, in the face of
the public protest Of his own party friends
in Lynchburg. 1t was notably reflected,
as representative from Virginia, when
he told Col. Beverley that rather than vote
for the pleuro- pneumonia bill he would see
every COW from the mountains to the sea
dead. 1t was notably reflected when his
objection to the consideration of the Blair
Educational bill deprived the public, free
schools Of Virginia of over half million dol
lars.
We know that Mr.. Tucker represented
the people of this district and the State of
Virginia in none of these things, and if
they are true to themselves they will say
so through the ballot they will cast on the
4th of November.

How the Ohio Victory was Won.

A special to the Baltimore american,
dated at Columbus, Ohio. the 18th, gives
clear understanding of the decisive issue
that controlled the result in Ohio. The
tariff was the primary question. 1t over
Swallowed all others. The Democrats had
thrust it forward in Congress through the
Morrison Bill, and frightened at the prom
inence given it, they sought to evade it
and cover it up in q storm of mud and
filth hurled at Mr.. Blaine. But the people
understood the situation and they came
up lnanfully to the defence of the indus
dustries and labor interests of the Nation.
The correspondent says:
The old free trade Democratic party in
Ohio is buried. Ohio Republicans accepted
the impudent challenge OF the Democrats.
Embroidered by their success of last year,
encouraged by the shouts of q solid South,
and deluded by the threats of 4 few wealthy
brewers, they imagined that the day of
their triumph had come, and boldly de-
clared that Ohio would lead the vanguard
in the national triumph of that party.
With firm confidence in the right and a
conscious reliance in the justice of their |
cause. the Republicans of this great COM
monwealth determined that no uncertain !
sound should go forth from their borders. /
In the hour Of triumph it is well to re-
fleet upon the causes which have produced |
the victory. To the most superficial it
was apparent the Democrats made a fear
full blunder. The personal abuse of MI. |
Blaine was so transparent as to disgust all |
fair men and unite them in q solid and |
unbrol1en column. The vile assaults upon
the sanctity of his private home. the |
coarse and unmitigated lies daily invented,
and as quickly disproved, combined all |
fair men in his defence. Again, Ohio, |
whilst great agricultural state, is also
vast manufacturing community. Cleve-
land, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, San
dusky, Springfield and other hourishing
cities contain thousands of Industrious.
happy and eontented mechanics. The |
Democratic party proclaimed their deter
lnination to change the tariff-strike down
The great bulwark Of protection and estab-
lish a system Of tariff for revenue only.
The Ohio mechanic and laboring man
saw in this ruin and want to him and his
Family The Ohio farmer became con-
WINGED that want among the artisans meant
lower prices and less demand for his pro-
ducts. The capitalist discovered stop
page of the Industries of the state would |
entail u loss upon his investments. All |
classes united to prevent such a catas-
trophe. The opportune visit of Mr..

A vote for Mr.. Tucker is a vote to ap-
prove his vote for Carlisle for Speaker over
Randall: to approve his vote for the Nor
rison tariff bill, substantially a free trade
measure to endorse his fatal opposition
to the Blair Educational Bill, which would
have given to Virginia over half mil ion
dollars for the public free schools to sus-
tain him in his opposition to the Ohio and
Mississippi flood sufferers to endorse his
vote against the wool interests of the
country, against the pleuro-pneuno nia
bill, a measure designed to prevent the
spread of contagious diseases among cat
tie and other animals; to approve his dodge
on the creation of Bureau of Labor
Statistics, the object of which was to gath
er information in the interest of the work
ingmen to endorse his attempts to revive
the hates and passions of the war, that
through inflamed prejudice he might get IL
few votes to sustain him in his vote for

The Republican Greed.

The Republican party embodies in its creed
four distinct and important doctrines First,
peace with the whole world: second, CONNER
cial expansion in every practical direction !;
third, encouragement of every form of American
industry; fourth, protection to every citizen
native or naturalized, at home and abroad.
Under these policies the Republican party
tries 10 conduct the government; under these
principles the Republican party submits itself

these principles we conquer, or on these we
