TuE Mem YORK DEMoSsTRATIoS.-ltis doubt
full whether in the history Of this country there
has ever been such another political demon strs-
ton az that of Saturday by the business men OF
New York and affiliated bodies for Cleveland ana
Hendricks. 1t staggered the republicans to find
that so many of their fellows had this time de-
termined to break loose from their old traditions
that thousands of those who had marched aud
cheered for Garfield four years ago were marching
and cheering for the nominees Of the democracy
There were not far from 40 600 men in the
grand outpouring, which occupied three hours
and half in reviewing by Gov. Cleveland, amid
q continuous roar of cheering that has never been
eoualed in that city, and which only came to an
end in time to permit the start of an evening
parade which almost rivailed in numbers that
which began during the day.

PosH.-It was stated in Saturdays GA
zkTrE that the "Blaine Invincibles' who
came here on Friday night were "harked'
by crowd of boys who followed them 10
the depot. When the club reached Wash
ington they made political capital of the al
fair as will be seen by the following taken
from the Critic of that city. Itsays:
1.-THE attack was made by young men, but
older ones were ready to join in. The trans
parencies and the flag were not captured.
One of the musicians received severe bio"
on the right temple, another was struck IN
the back and third on the leg by stones
thrown from long distance: One man VINO {,
seized the flag, saying, "l'll carry TINS,
knows that Mr. A. NJ. Clapp can nit nara,
if he is old. When the depot was reached
Dr.. Adams made short speech, saying that
the best way to get even with the Alexan-
d, ia hoodluma, was to subscribe sum OF
money to the republican campaign fund in
that district. The sum of 500 was voted TO
the fluid. ANON the invincibes are men
who marched through Alexandria twenty
odd years ago with muskets on their shout
ders"
And these are the men that the B'aineites
send here to teach the Alexandrians how to
vote Well, this bloody shirt business ought
70 be squelched to morrow and every true
will do his best to accomplish
that object

SHALL THE WHITES WIN.-It is learned
that at all the colored churches in this city
Yesterday special aud secret services were
held, at which instructions were given the
negroes how to work and vote 10 morrow.
This persistent banding together of the ne.
groes to work directly in opposition TO the
interests OF those from whom every one OF
them derives his daily bread, should GER
tainlv have the effect of concentrating tho
white vote. The negroes have been told by
every radical speaker during the campaign
to vote scidly against the white people,
and this, if nothing else, should make the
whites vote as solidly against them.

Of the democrats is admirable and all that

/. for every man. VINO has been appointed Al
captain to sec that his men vote. The cleo
ton is TO be conducted in au orderly man
mrr and any attempt at fraud or violence

sure peace and quiet during the day Mayor
Beck ham has sworn in twenty extra police

,a.t word TO those who have the welfare
o! the State al heart is sufficient. The time

work has come. Let no excuse Or prctext
keep Il democrat from the polls tomorrow.
There is no doubs that Cleveland and Hen
tricks will carry the State, but they should
carry j. Ia vote so large that IL will bury
the c,iemy OF; Of sight, and forever. Not
Guy he early at the polls, but see to it that

A BLOW AT EVERY IMPORTANT INDUSTRY.
PROPOSAL TO DEPRIVE MAINE PRODUCTS
OF THE BENEFIT OF ALL PROTECTION.
A Washington special to the Wing and Cour-
Ter of yesterday says: The long delayed and
much heralded Morrison tariff bill. introduced
in the House, Monday, and referred to the
Committee on Ways and Means. has proved a
veritable bombshell in the Democratic camp.
1t strikes a vicious blow at nearly every impor-
tant industry in the country, and if Morrison
had been employed by the worst enemies OF
our productive and manufacturing develop
ment, he could hardly have devised more de-
st uetive and mischevouS scheme. No MEM
bers are more astonished than some of Morri-
sons party friends. who thought that Speaker
Carlisle's speech was "A pledge against any
violent disturbance of business. The bill pro-
posed slashe> right and left and has already
raised storm of protest all over the country.
The people of Maine have special reasons to
appreciate the peculiar regard manifested by
the Democratic leader for their interest. The
bill not only cuts off 20 per cent. of the present
duty on all cotton and wooden goods and on
wool and lumber and all woodenware. but it
places on the free list timber. hewn or sawed
wood, hay, potatoes. starch. deXtrine gum.
substitute or British gum, bark extracts. grain,
etc. The manufacturers and farmers and other
working-people of Maine will see how the
Democracy propose to promote their welfare
by striking down every important protective
interest in the State. Aroostook people will
particularly take notice of the proposition TO
strip their hay crop and their starch industries
of all projections
