A WORD TO THE PUBLIC.
The National Committee Strike
From thu Shoulder
And Make a Prolific Divul-
gence of Facts.
A Fatal Cunning Game in
Tennessee.
AN Address to the People.

NEW YORK, September 23.-The Ma
tional Democratic Executive Commute,
has prepared an address to the people o
the United States saying that to enable
the Democratic party to fu fill is policy
Of publication Of public affairs, all gpod
citizens must unite in defeating the Re.
publican candidate for President II
history and political methods make il GER
tain that his administration would be
stained by gross abuses, official miscon-
duct and wanton expenditure Of public
money and would be marked by an in
crease in taxation which would blil hit the
honest industries of our people. Against
US and against those honorable Republi-
cans who for the sake of cool govern
nent have made common cause with us,
notable combinations have Leen made.
They are chiefly made up of fotr
classes.
First, The army Of office holders who
are forced to contribute.
Second, Organized Lodies Of men, who,
having secured By corrupt means, an i'm
position Of duties which are in excess Of
all sums needed for the wants Of the Gov
ernment and for the protection of Ameri-
can labor and capital, and having thus
gained the enormous wealth, are willing
to pay largely to the Republican cam
paign fund for the promise Of their
continuance and increase of such duties,
which constitute q system of bountics to
monopoli,s under the false pretonse of
protection TO American industries.
Third, A host Of unscruI ulous on
tractors and iollers, who Lave grow u rich
upon public plumber and are pady 10 ray
tith,s of what tley have acquired, in
order to avoid all risk of being called to
account for the evil methods by which
Their wealth has been acquired.
Fourth, Corporations which, having
spoIiaied the public lands by aid ofcorrupt
agencies in the Republican party, believe
they will te compelled to give up their i'll
gotten gains if that party is driven from
power, and ae, therefore, willing to keep
it in place by giving it q percentage of
their unril hteous profits.
The addrs IS goes on further to say that
the Democratic committee, refusing to
adopt the methods by which the Repub-
lican party fills It's treasury, calls upon
all good citizens for the aid which
it requises. Ii invites and will welcome
contributions from every honest man who
is opposed to the election of James G..
Blaine. No coutr button will be accounted
too small. Wherever a bank, banker or
postal money order office can be found the
means exist for placing at the disposal ofthe
Treasurer of the Committee any individ-
ual or collective contributions in aid of the
great cause in which we are engaged, or
the money may be RENTED by mail to
Charles J. Canda. Treasurer, at II West
oath street, New YORK. When victory is
achieved over the INSCRIPTIONS combina.
| ton which Is now %ond,avoring TO thrust
Blaine into the Presidential office, the re-
corded list Of such contributions will be q
roll of honor such a. no other party in
this country has ever possessed. Our OPP
ponents cannot be saved from disaster by
forcing their unwilling candidate to speak
to assemblages of the people. The mar
who wrote the Fisher letters will never b,
the choice of the people for the Presi
