National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1884-11-08

Daniel Manning, chairman OF the
democratic state committee of New York,
tho bosom friend of Grover Cleveland.
shrieks through his newspaper, tho Albany
argus, as follows;
No fraudulent commission will put James @.
Blaine in the white house or keep Grover
Cleveland out Of 1t. The men who attempt II
will be killed, and the legal consequences OF
killing them will be taken care Of ailerward.
What Dan Manning really meant was
that he had made up his mind that Cleve-
land was elected and that the state election
board must certify that the democrats
had carried New York for their candi-
date, whether tho footings gave him n
majority of tho votes cast or not, and
that failure to make such certificate
would result in the murder Of tho mon
who could have made it and did not. He
should have made his meaning cloar In
language like this:
l, Dan Manning do hereby proclaim that
Grover Cleveland has been elected president OF
the United States. ] do not know how many
votes he hasreceived In New York state or how
nevertheless proclaim that Grover Cleveland
has been duly elected by the aid of the thirty.
six electoral votes of New York, which must be
given him, whether he is entitled to them OF
not. The state election board that certihes
that majority OF the votes cast were cast for
Blaine and Logan will do SO at its peril. 1t
makes no difference how the count stands
Cleveland has been elected, and If any
thieying, rascally state canvnssors foot
up the returns differently, either
or my hired rufIians will kill them
We will shoot them down In cold blood
should they attomps to do what they are sworn
under the law to do If the count should be
against us. Mr.. Canvassers serve notice on
you that you will be butcherod 10 your tracks
IL you play any shenancgan with those re
turns, and II you find that a majority of the
votes of the state were cast for Blaine, that will
be taken as conclusive evidence of an attempt
to steal the presidency and repeat the awful
crime of '76, and the massacre will begin
Gentlemen do / make my meaning clear
You know what you have to do, and now see
| that you do 1t.
The blathering Of this brazen voiced
rufiian, Manning, will not put Grover
Cleveland in the white house unless he has
been elected. Neither will the maniacal
rawlings of the leather-lunged mobs Of
raw-mouthed thugs who put in their
time parading up and down the streets OF
two or three bic cities announcing that
unless Cleveland is declared president
forthwith the killing and burning will
begin.
The United States is considerably
larger than Dan Manning or Grover
Cleveland or any aggregation Of mad
dened bourbon blood tubs that the slum
of the great cities can produce. IL i
lucky for the Mannings and the Cleve
lands and the Germans and the Barnum
and the thousands of other cheap fool
who are preaching revolution that tn
people are patient, but they will do vel
to bear in mind that the moment the
attempt to execute any of the terribl
threats they have been breathing for thu
past two or three days this same peopl,
will get right up and mash them int
the ground.
If Mr.. Blaine is shown to have rt
ceived plurality Of the votes Of Ne,
York he will take his place as presiden
of the United States on the 4th day c
March, 1855.
