An Eloquent Appear TO the feopie
New YORK, Sept. 23.-The National Dem
ocratic Executive Committee has issued an
address to the people OF the United States
saying that to enable the Democratic
party to fulfil its promises OF purifying
public affairs all good citizens must unite
in defeating the Republican candidate for
President. His history and his political
methods make it certain that his admins
tration would be stained by gross abuse,
official misconduct and wanton expendi-
ture of the public money and would be
marked by an increase in taxation, which
would blight the honest industry of our
people. Against us and against those hon
orable Republicans who for the sake Of
good government have made common
cause with US, notable combinations have
been made. They are chiefly made up Of
four classes.
are forced to contribute.
Second-OrganiZed bodies Of men, who,
having secured, by corrupt means, the
lIQpOblblOu " uutlC5 hulOA dIO III OASOoo
of the sums needed for the wants of the
Government and for the protection of
American labor and capital, and having
thus gained enormous wealth, are willing
to pay largely to the Republican Campaign
Fund for the promise of the continuance
and increase Of such duties, which consti-
ute a system of bounties to m~onopolies
under the false pretense Of protection to
American industry.
Third-A host Of INSCRIPTIONS con-
tractors and jobbers who nav grown rich
upon public plumber and are ready to pay
tithes of what they have acquired, in order
to avoid all risk of being called to account
for their evil methods by which their
wealth has been gained.
Fourth-Corporations which, having de-
spoiled the public of the lands by the aid
of corrupt agencies in the Republican
party, believe they will be compelled to
give up their ill-gotten gains if that party
is driven from power, and are, therefore,
willing to keep it in place by giving it a
percentage of their unrighteous profits.
The address goes on further to say: The
Democratic Committee, in refusing to
adopt the methods by which the
Republican party fills its Treasury,
calls Upon all good citizens for
the aid which it requires. II
invites and will welcome all contributions
from every honest man who is opposed to
the election of James G.. Blaine. No con-
tributions will be accounted too small.
Wherever q bank or postal money order
Office can be found, means exist for placing
at the disposal of the Treasurer of the
committee individual or collective con-
tributions in aid of the great cause in
which we are engaged, or money may be
RENTED by mail to Charles j. Canda,
Treasurer, at IL West Twenty-fourth
street, New York. When victory is
achieved over the INSCRIPTIONS combina-
ton which is now endeavoring to thrust
Blaine into the Presidential office, a re-
corded list of such contributions will be a
roll of honor such as no other party in
this country has ever possessed. Our
opponents cannot be saved from disaster
by forcing their unwilling candidate to
speak to assemblages Of people, a man who
wrote the Fisher letters will never be
the choice of the people for President Of
the United States.

Chairman of the National Democratic
Executive Committee.
Butler ON the Stump.
Boston, Sept. 23.-The Peoples party
opened its campaign at Lynn last night by
a reception to Gen. Butler, and two i'm
mems rallies at Music Hall and the Col
liseum. A great crowd greeted the General
as he alighted from the train and he was
driven to the residence Of J. N. Buffum,
where he took tea. After supper Gen.
Butler and Senator Grady were driven to
Music Hall, which was packed. Moses M.
Libby presided, and introduced Butler as
the Peoples candidate. The General
briefly returned thanks for his cordial re-
ception, and said he did not think it WAS
the peoples candidate which had attracted
30 many, but the deep interest which every
right-minded citizen had in the welfare of
the country. He had not come to say any
thing bad about any man, but he would
say frankly that there we're more more bad
men in the Republican party than in the
Democratic. The Republican party was
responsible for all this. 1t was a grand
old party when it started, but he knew
something about it, for he had helped to
make it. 1t was formed to free four
million of slaves from that party. 1t came
into power, and after a time the railroad
men began to run it until it became
a party of m~onopolists. and so he
left it and went over to the Democrats.
They had not had a President
for 20 years, and had don't nothing. They
had not had an opportunity to do any
thing, and nothing could be said against
the men who had done nothing. The
Democrats had elected but one President
in 20 years, and then he did not have
pluck enough to take his seat. Laughter.
The General said he had just returned
from a 5000 or 7,000-mile journey through
the West. He spoke of the great crops
raised in low and Wisconsin, and every
where in the West. He spoke of the
trouble in getting their crops to market.
We did not get them at the East as we
