TO vote for Blaine because Cleveland he said,
while sheriff had hung a couple of ''our
Irish fellow citizens' for which he got $500,
when he could have hired man to do it for
$3.50, although he well knew that it was lie
and that the mechanical part of
the hanging was done by a
deputy who has performed that service for
the past thirty-fve years, and that Sheriff
Cleveland only ofiiciated in so far as be as
such officer was Gctctadlty compelled to, and
that one of the guilty wretches which he with
great dramatic and devout effort hoped was
waited direct to heaven had brutally butch
cred his own mother that bore him. He
failed to show one single official act of Gov.
Cleveland in any official capacity whatever
that he had been unfaithful in, and COM
planned because he would not now leave his
executive Office as governor of the greatest
state in the Union and run 4 travelling cir
Gus as Blaine is now doing. He complained
that Cleveland during the war hired sub
stitute instead of going himself
and forgot to mention the fact that Blaine
did the same thing, and that after the war he
CBlaine) acce pied from the city of Augusta
the 5000 which he had paid.
Mr. Window could not, of course, close
his speech without Haunting the bloody shirt
at the Democrats much as they do a red rag
at Spanish bull fights, but even this old time
expedient failed TO arouse any great amount
of enthusiasm and was a weak effort at best.
He believed that Blaine would carry every
northern state. which, of course, wont
scarcely carry them and he finally closed, as
his audience was becoming somewhat rest
less. He closed without any allusion what
ever TO the fourth heading of his illustrious
leader, viz: Protection to American citizens
at home and abroad, free born or
adopted. Upon this plank of Mr..
Biaine's personal platform Mr.. Window
was entirely dumb. In this he showed his
most sound discretion, for although much
given to sophistry and evasion, both in re-
gard to his somewhat checquered career and
that OF others, he would have been unequal
to the herculanean task of explaining how
Blaine as president could be expected to
policy so entirely at varience with the one
which he doggedly pursued while secretary of
state.
On the whole, the speech of Mr.. Window
was very harmless one, for although upon
its face it presented the Republican party as
the grand source of all that is good which we
as Americans enjoy, while upon the Demo-
Gratis he charged all the ills that American
flesh is heir to, tbs degree of
inliigence possessed by the masses
is too great to be largely influenced
by his soft tongued sophiStries an convert
have not as yet shown up.
The ascribing of the grand results of the
civilization of the past twenty-five years in
the wonderful development of the country
consequent upon the enormous extension OF
our great railroad systems TO the Republican
party is about on the same score as giving
them credit for all the rain. sunshine and
dew we enjoy, and does not convince any
body.
On Monday night Hon. John B. Brisbin
will speak upon the issues of the campaign
and it is quite possible that some of Mr.
WINDOWS fine illusions may be dispelled.
A DEMOCRAT.
