NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The National Dem
ocratic Committee today issued the following
NEW YORK, Oct. 27, 1884.
There is only one great issue involved in this cam
paign. The question is whether this country shall
be governed honestly and wisely or corrupty. The
election of Governor Cleveland and of Thomas A.
Hendricks Will insure a good government the cleo
tion of James e. aiue and John A Logan will in
sure bad government. MI. Blaine would not b.
purer as President than he was as Speaker and
member of the House of Representatives. You are
b rdened with unnecessary taxes. One hundred
millions of money not needed to defray the proper
charges of the governmentare annually taken from
the United States and kept in the treasury, and III
withdrawal of this enormous amount of money from
circulation has hampered your commerce, depressed
your trade and IMPOVERISHED your labor. Mr..
Blaine aided in the needless and reckless accumua
tion of this unnecessary surplus, he is responsible
for the mischief it has occasioned, and he cannot
be trusted with its disbursement. The methods
which he has employed in this campaign prove con-
clusvely that the administration of The government
of this country ought not 10 he placed in his han
for candidate capable of using impr per means TO
increase his chances of election to the presidency,
would not, if elected discharge the duties of that
office honestly. Mr. Blaine personally supervised
tire pre- arations made by his managers for their
work In the state ell, ction in Ohio the 14th of
October. 1t is expressly provided by an existing
statute OF the United states that no man shall be
appointed deputy marshal unless he Is a qualified
voter OF the city town, county parish election dis
rct voting precinct in which his duties to be
performed, and it is certainly the pain intent of
the federal law ha' deputies empowered to execute
the duties of marshal of the United States should
be repu able men, lead decent lives and enjoying
the confidence OF the community in which they live.
These plain provisions of the federal law were
wholly disregarded in the late OHIO election. Ruff
fans not living in the election districts In which
they were appointed to act, and not, in many in
stances, even citizens, were armed by marshal OF
the United states under the eye of Mr.. Blaine and
were used in the districts to which they were ap-
pointed, with his knowledge. with the purpose OF
OBJ aiming maioiiliee by violence az d fraud The
effect produced by this outage has been remarkable
Tho blow struck MIR. Blane at the rights of citl
zens iu Ohio has welded the Democratic party IN
New York. There is no longer any doubt as to the
manner in which the electoral vote of that State
will be cast. Democrats and Independent Republi-
cans, working hand in hand in the cause OF good
government and resolved to labor with all tneir
might until that end has been achieved will give III
November an overwhelming majority for the Cieve-
land and Hendricks elect rs.
Mr.. Blaine and his managers, despairing of sue
cess in the State of New York, are attempting to
carry Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut by the
discredit4ble means employ ed in Ohio on the 18th
OF October. While they struggling to accom-
plish this evil purpose, Ohio, rid of the swarm of
vagrant deputy maTshals by which 1t was infested
at the October electon,is raying with determined
purpose 10 vindicate its good name.
The address describes at length the duties of
United States marshas and concludes sub
stantIally as follows:
While we write, meeting Of manufacturers,
summoned by Blaines managers and in session at
the Fifth Avenue HOTEL has by request of those
managers agreed 10 stop work at their factories
unless their workiDgmen will support Blaine. This
attempt to coerce the sorkingmen of the country
to support Blaine will be remembered at the polls
in November, not ouly by the sturdy men whom it
was intended to affect, but by all workmen in the
United States.
