Regtsfrnr Rrazer's Views Of the
Pendtng Political Contest.
Editor Gasetis g. Journal; l am much
pleased with your reports Of the political
canvass, because you publish facts as
they exist In all parts OF our country.
desire TO inform my friends, through
your popular and widely circulated paper,
az to the political situation, which have
carefully considered. The Republican
leaders we're convinced that their party
was defeated before they started with
James g. Blaine, from Maine, to exhibit
him thr ,neho the country. They we'll
knew that the corrupt Republican admin
i,tration has brought the country
to the verge OF ruin, and bust
ness men, woIkingmen and
large mtj 'rily OF the voters tnrough
cut the states. are asking for reform.
They are veil aware that Republican
promises are o. no vslue, and they there.
fore look TO the great Democratic party to
cave the country from ruiu by 'eleotipg
New Yurk's reform governor, Grover
Cleveland. They find that his every sot
SIS governor OF the great state OF New
York is honest aud statesmanlike, aud
that he is safe man to place In the
Presidential chair. 1t Ia we'll known
that thoughtful business men have conf
denos in Governor Cleveland, and
that he will, az far as lies
In his power, carry out the
principles laid down in the platform Of
the Democracy at Chicago. The election
Of Governor Cleveland will create .
| healthy growth In all kinds OF trades and
business throughout the country, and
men can engage In the various oeoupA-
| lions presented to them with safety.
| Business men know that II James q.
/ Blaine were President all kinds Of bust
/ ness would become fevsrish and unsettled.
Men would be waiting and Watching and
/ Justly expecting James G.. Blaine,

act which would create panic
in business centres, thereby causing
ruin and disaster, and such state OF
affairs as would enable James g. Blaine
| Al d his henchmen to fill their pockets
with money. II is too late for the Repub-
licau orators TO come before the pt ople
with their exploded Arguments Of pro-
lection. Business throughout the country
Ia depressed, and not for the want Of pro-
lection, for we have that In Its Bepub-
lican purity, and II is a failure 80 far az

The time has cone for honest govern.
ment and our people demand change o.
men who are corrupt for those who
are honest. Such men are moi
to be found in company with
James g. Blaine. Foolish men tell oui
people through lying pre- that II th'
Democrats obtain power, they will hav,
no work, shops will be closed, and oui
streets will grow up in grass, and work
ingmen be turned into tramps. No per
