nomination of Mr.. Blaine was one not
fit to be made.


fit to be made.
CORRUPTION CANNOT ALWAYS PROSPER.
There is reason for our confidence
that we will achieve q victory in No
vember. The army of officeholders en-
gagged for month past in the business
of manipulating voters in Ohio and
West Virginia must now disband. Each
man of the number must go to his own
place. The Commissioner of Pensions
and his bureau of clerks cannot be con-
centrated for political uses in the Nov
ember elections. When they are acting
individually in their several States they
will be unable to do mischief.
ADAY OF RECKONING COMING.
The marshals of the United States, by
reason of the powers which they exer-
else, may again do harm in November.
They ought to understand that for what
they have done, and for what they may
| do, they will be hereafter held to the
strictest account by justly indignant
people. The hopes of reward and the
/ promises OfIndemnity which have been
held out to them will not avail them in
the days which are close at hand. The
country is fully aroused. 1t is alarmed
by the corrupt influences surrounding
Mr.. Blaine, and will reject him as
President.
BLAINE THE CHOICE OF MONoPOLIsTS.
Mr.. Blaine has grown rich. The men
around him have grown rich. The
spectators whom he has aided by
framing laws to suit them are rich.
The corporations which he has helped
have monopolied the public lands. But
trade is stagnant. The commerce of the
country has decayed. Mills are stand
ing idle. Where wages have not been
stopped they are reduced. Mechanics
and laborers 60 about seeking employ
ment in vain. Women and children
are beginning to want bread, and yet
the farmer can find no profitable mark
ct for grain. These circumstances af-
ford conclusive proof that a few inter-
ests have been cared for by the Repub-
lican managers at the expense of the
great body of the people.
THE REMEDY FOR EXISTING EVILS IN
THE BALLOT BOX.
The creation, in this favored land, OF
such extremes of wealth and poverty
and the evil days which have overta-
ken all who are engaged in labor, are
not your fault. 1t has been and is the
fault of those selfish men who use the
powers which you gave them for theil
own advantage, leaving you to fare as
best you could. 1t is for you to deter.
mine whether those evils shall continue
and increase, or diminish and end in q
general prosperity shared in by all
alike.
ALL THRILLING DIFFERENCE SHOULD BE
BURIED.
You have right to expect that YOU
party leaders, to whom you have givel
support and accorded honors in pas
years, will lay aside all differences arg
y establish o lasting claiNl upon yot,i
gratitude by making common cause il
your supreme effort to obtain the bless
ings of good government. You will
not be disappointed.
ORGANIZE AND WORK FOR TILE SUCCESS
OF THE COMMON CAUSE.
Remember that victory in November
over the INSCRIPTIONS men who are
now endeavoring to seize the Presiden
cy can only be assured by your com
| plete oTSallLaClou. WHeu lHeH are u
one mind and want to impress theil
opinion upon the community in which
they live, they must stand together anC
work together. The highest and bes
organization of which men are capabl,
is that in which every man wants to dt
that part of the common work which
, he has to do, and does it with all hi
J might. Your organizations ought to bt
, of such nature, and if they are, Gov
Cleveland will be elected in Novembe
} by an unparalleled majority.
