emergency and in every contest.
The nomination of ex-Sherif Cleveland,
however, and tho adoption by his party of
a Free Trade policy, as shown by the vote
ON the Morrison bill, has convinced Mr.
Quinn that true friend Of American Ia
borers can no longer act with the Demo.
cratic party. Therefore, he wrote the fol-
lowing letter, which was published In the
Chicago Inter- Ocean Of August 2. We give
it in full, because VIC think It is impossible
to omit any part without doing injustice to

myself OF the opportunity your Kindness offers

dates, twill be at once admitted that Mr.
Blaine impersonates more thoroughly ana
broadly tho aspirations and requirements OF
the country at this time, while IL cannot be
questioned that he towers above his opponent
n every attribute OF statesmanship and INTEL

most vital point, their policies aro distinctly
