BUFFALO, August l8, 1884.
You will remember while visiting In
your enterprising city about q year ago,
predicted that our own able and hon
est Governor would receive the nOmina-
tlon for President. The faith within me
was 30 strong that thought the Demo-
eracy could not possibly nominate any
one else, as he was the beaux' Ideal OF re-
form Mayor, and one OF the best Cover
nora the Empire State ever had. My
prediction Ia verified by the facts de-
yel0ped since the Chicago convention.
By the people OF Buffalo Gov. Cleveland
is held In the highest esteem. His ma
jOrlty for Mayor here was over 5000 and
for Governor almost 1000, and this In
the face Of the fact that the city and
comfy usually gives Republican ma
jority of 1000. There Ia no question
that the brutal and scandalous attacks
invented by the Rev. base Ball-which
the Blaine organs have made upon
Governor Cleveland, one OF the pur-
est men the politics OF this country has
known, Ia having an effect contrary TO
what they anticipated. There Is some
thing In the heart Of every honest man
and citizen that makes him rebel
against such vile political attacks by
such hiI cd sanctim0nlOua rascals, II will
add one thousand votes TO his usual
great majority In this city.
Dlatrust that man who tells you 10 dlstrust
Ho takes the measure OF his own small soul.
The local campaign Is waxing warm,
and In a few weeks We will be thor
0ughly organized, ready and eager for
the battle. The Democratic legion re-
Gently organized, will be O prominent
club, and 10 composed OF our solid busi-
ness men, six hundred strong. The uni
form consists OF white hat, cane and an
elegant silk badge, Our Cleveland In
dependent corps consists OF over three
hundred young men, who will cast their
first vote for President ;about one.half
are Republicans. They will do good and
effectual work; we are proud OF them,
and ask other young men TO follow their
example.
Another Of our crack organizations is
the 9th ward Cleveland Corps, consist
Ing OF 500 finely uniformed w0rkmen.
Last Thursday evening they were pre-
sented by the ladies of the ward with an
elegant $l75 silk banner. II Ia a beauty.
They will give their frat grand parade
next Saturday evening. Wigwams are
being built In every ward OF the city,
and the work Of dedlcating them Is a
nightly occurrence, and adds much TO
the vigor Of the campaign, as each ward
tries TO outd0 Its neighb0r In the matter
OF hospitality and enthusiasm. Among
our recent converts to the good cause
are Jacob Schoelkoeif and Vim. LIegele.
The former Is one Of our solid German
business men, proprietor Of large
tannery, The Niagara Falls Brewery,
and one Of the most extensive real estate
men In the city. At a recent parade,
$50 Of his tanners came out with u Gle.
yeland banner. The latter Is a promi-
nent capitalist and brewer Of the 7th
ward, Last Thursday evening he was
elected marshal OF the Blaine Boys In
Blue. Upon being notified OF his elec-
tion he replied with q bland smile
Gentlemen, am sorry TO disappoint
you, but shall work and vote for Mr..
Cleveland" The "Blue" Boys left. Thus
II is, every day adds strength TO our
cause In this city, because, as citizens,
we all know good, honest modest Grover
Cleveland. IL the rest Of the country
will do half as much for tho cause, we
will elect our candidates by an over
whelming majority.
Vote for Cleveland and Hendricks too,
