SEw YoRx, Oct. 23.-Next TO tho iron
workers there Is no class Of workingner
who arc more bitterly hostile to Clcve
land than The stonccuttcrs and bricklayctt
here. Among these men tho feeling oi
hostility ngainst the Democratic candidate
seems to be substantially unanimous

speaking on this subject, said: Il.
l"Around the entrance to Greenwood
Cemetery, where a'n ut work, there are
fully fifty stonecutters, who to man arc
going TO vote against Cleveland. They

vote the Democratic ticket the next elec.

particular. His veto OF the Ne.

ear drivers: masons, bricklayers and stone
cutters-who have, sworn to cut him on
the Democratic ticket or to vote either the
straight Republican or Butler ticket.
These men am talking about are Demo
Gratis, and never thought before OF voting
anything but the Democratic ticket. !
don't think Cleveland has been square
Democrat. He sneaks after aristocrats
and monopolists.i If he had his way
every scheme that would be OF benefit TO
hard working men, that would make their
toll lighter, or their pay better, would be
knocked III the head if he thought tie
could make a little capital with sollle cor

down th1t way have got the same hold.

Democratic neighbors bless him for that.

him and vote against him. ! don't care

Democrat, and never voted anything but
the Democratic ticket. II voted for Cleve-

Grover Cleveland's principle, il he has
good sense enough to have any principle.
He can't have my vote for .anything. I
got sick with him early in his Aunnistra-
ton, and have been getting sicker and
sicker every day since. As Tor MY Demo-
cratic friends among the workingmen l
have nothing to say. They must DO their
own talking. 1t will not be hard to find

FALSE TO EVERY PRINCIPLE. l5s7
Henry Perry, who is a member Of the
Third Ward Brooklyn Democratic Assc-
citation, works for the knickerbocker Ice
Company, and has for number Of years.
He has always heretofore been an active
Democrat and was noted for his partisan
ardor. He said: .T.5
f" am talking for myself, Iwant you to
understand, and not for the concern l
work for. They do not bother with poll
tics, and don't know and don't care how
their men vote. But for my part m,
working for Grover Cleveland, and shall
vote against him.; I am just as strong
Democrat us ever was. shall vote for
every man on the Democratic ticket ex-
cept Cleveland. r oppose Cleveland on
Democratic principles. He is not a Dem
ocrat,j u believed he was at one time and
voted for him for. Governor. | have
found out my mistake, He has been false
to every principle 5ofy the party that has
put him in Office. He is an enemy to
labor X Ing every n sense of 4 the
word. Y anda a friend to all those who
arc interested in getting the most out Of a
laboring man for tho least return. I got
utterly :disgusted with him during his ad-
ministration as Governor. was always
Democrat and am one still, and that is
just the, reason. 4 am against Cleveland
and! all that lie represents Just get that
straight. ! could call by name, at mod
erate. e.estimate, thirty men in fthe employIj
Of tho knickerbocker Company. who arc
just ns strong Democrats as I am. They
have voted the Democratic ticket for
years, and they voted for Cleveland for
GOVERNOR This. year they will vote for
every man on the Democratic ticket except
Cleveland. Some. Of them arc going 10
vote for Blaine and some for Butler. n The
way the workingmen are going to cut that
man may not DO understood now, but it
will be the day after election. Some Of
his -vetos. and recommendations will get
home to roost about that time, 4 is ~
