power. 1t is about time for the Democratic
party to let the issue come direct The rule
or ruin policy of TammanY has prevailed
long enough. They should be notified that
they can't rule and the party can well afford
to take the chance of ruin, for it would be
ruin to allow them to run it, and as it can be
no more than ruin it would in the end pro-
duce good results, even if ruin followed. 1t
it time to teach that organization that their
dictation OF the past can t be longer tolerated.
TALK WITH j. j. HILL.
j. J. Hill, president of the Manitoba road,
arrived from New York and Boston to-day
His report of the sentiment among business
men of the east in favor of Cleveland is de-
cidedly encouraging and he says there is a
perfect uprising among business men against
Blaine, and Cleveland is the man in business
circles whom they declare they would support
He met prominent members of the Union
League who stated that they would vote and
work and contribute means for Governor
Cleveland's election, because they consider
ed him a safe man for the business interests
of the county. Mr.. Hill said he would
have gone right through but wanted to see
the delegation from Minnesota and urge
them to vote for Cleveland. eff Cleveland
is the nominee" said Mr. Hill, ''there will
be a Democratic president. / have never
seen such an uprising, as there is against
Blaine among the Republicans"
While Mr.. Hill is Democrat.
it is well known that he has
for years devoted himself to the
great business interests of the country, and
his earnestness now is from business rather
than a political standpoint, as he feels that it
is perilous to the prosperity Of the country to
place a man like Blaine in the presidential
chair.
1t cannot be disguised that 1t has been the
business men of the country who have con-
trolled presidential elections ever since the
war. 1t was not because the business men
have been so especially enamored of the Re
publican party, as it was, and because they
feared the change which might ensue in put
ting the Democratic party in power, which has
led them to quite uniformly support the Re-
publican nominee, with the exception of 1876
In 1876 the business interests Of the country
were with the Democrats. Mr. Tilden was
elected president on that account. He was
juggled out Of the Office, not by any assumed
electoral votes in business states but by the
votes Of the carpet bag southern states, where
the chief business Is barter and trade in
politics.
MINNESOTA ORGANIZES.
The Minnesota delegation held meeting
at 4 p. m, to perfect their organization
Here again ali the fun was spoiled by perfect
harmony. At the Republican convention
the Minnesota delegation became an inter
esting quantity among themselves, by the

Davis, as well as By the division on prefer
