New YORK, Oct. 28.-The Democratic
National committee have issued the follow
ing address:
To the people of the United States: There
is only one great issue involved in this cam
paign. The question is whether this country
shall be governed honestly and wisely or
corruptly. The election of Grover Cleveland
as president and Thos. A. Hendricks as vice
president will insure good government. The
election Of James g. Blaine as president and
Of John A. Logan as vice president viii in
sure bad government. Mr.. Blaine would not
be purer as president than he was as speaker
and member of the house of representatives.
You are burdened with unnecessary taxes.
One hundred millions Of money not needed
TO defray the proper charges of the govern
ment are annually taken from the people Of
the United States and kept in the treasury.
The withdrawal of this enormous amount of
money from circulation has hampered your
commerce, depressed your trade and i'm
poyerished your labor. Mr. Blaine aided in
unnecessary surplus. lie is responsible for
the mischief it has occasioned- He cannot
be trusted with its disbursement. The meth
DDS which he has employed in this campaign
prove conclusively that the administration of
the government Of the country ought not to
be placed in his hands.
a candidate capable of using improper
means to increase his chances of election to
the presidency would not, if elected, dis
charge the duties of that office honestly. Mr..
Blaine personally supervised the prepara-
tons made 10y his managers for
their work in the state election
in Ohio on the 18th of
October. 1t is expressly provided for by an
existing statute of the United States that no
man shall be appointed deputy marshal un-
less he is qualified voter Of the town, county
or parish, election district or voting precinct
in which his duties are to be performed. 1t
is certainly the plain intent OF the federal
law that deputies empowered to execute the
duties of marshal Of the United States
should be reputable men, leading decent
lives and enjoying the confidence
Of the community in which
of federal law were wholly disregarded in the
late Ohio election. Ruiiins lot living in the
election districts in which they were APP
pointed TO act and not in many instances
even citizens of Ohio were armed by mar
shals Of the United States under the eye of
Mr.. Blaine and were used in the districts to
which they were appointed with his knowl-
edge for the purpose of obtaining majorities
bv violence and fraud. The effect produced
by this outrage has been remarkable.
The blow struck by Mr.. Blaine at the
rights Of the citizen in Ohio has welded the
Democratic party in New York. There is no
longer any doubt as 10 the manner in which
the electoral vote of that state will be cast.
Democrats and dependent-Republicans are
working hand in hand in the cause of good
government, and resolved to labor with ali
their might until it has been achieved She
will give in November an overwhelming ma
jorlty for the Cleveland and Hendricks cleo

ing OF success in the state

discreditable means employed in Ohio on

accomplish this evil purpose, Ohio, rid OF

Each state, under the provisions of the
