Democratic Address.

Nrv YORK, September 23.-The Ma
..onsl Democratic executive committee
hos issued an address to the people OF
sbe United States, saying: To enable the
Dsmocratic party to fulfil its promises
# purifying public affairs, all good citi-
" must unite in defeating the Repub-
i;con candidate for the Presidency. His
history and political methods make his
administration certain to be stained
nv gross abuses, the official misconduct
nd wanton expenditure of public
money. and would be marked by an IN
crease of taxation, which would blight
Inc honest industry OF our people.
AGAINST US, and against those honest
ReDubIicans, who, for sake OF good gov
eminent, have made common cause
with US, notable combinations nave
bsen made. They are chiefly made up
offour classes. First, the army OF once
holders, who are forced to contribute.
Second, organized bodies OF men VINO,
having secured by corrupt means the
irnnositiOn of duties which are IN
o-ea75 Of the sums needed for the wants
al government, and for the .protechon
II american labor and capital, and hay
ing thus gained enormous wealth are
wiling to pay largely to the Republican
csmpaign fund for promise Oh the con
Ennance and an increase of such duties,
which constitute system oil oounties 10
noTorolies under the false pretense of
protection to American industry. THIRD,
5osfs of inscriptions contractors and
iobbers, who have. grown rlch upon
nublic plumber, and are ready to pay
titbes of what they have acquired in
order to avoid all risk of being called to
account for the evil methods by which
their wealth has been gained. Fourth,
corporations which, having spoiled pub
lie lands by aid OF corrupt agencies in
the Republican party, believe they will
Be compelled to give up their lli-gotten
gains IF driven from power, and are
therefore willing to keep it in place by
giving it a percentage OF their upright
eous profits.
The address goes on further to say
that the Democratic committee, refuS-
ing to adopt The methods by which the
Republican party fills its treasury, calls
on all good citizens for the aid which 1t
requires. 1t invites and will welcome all
contributions from all honest men who
is opposed to the election of James g,
Blaine. No contributions will be
accounted too small. Whenever bank
or banker, or postal money Office can be
found, means exist for the placing al
the disposal OF the treasurer of the com
mittee, individual or collective contribu-
tons in aid of the great cause in which
we are engaged, or money may be re-
mitted by mail to Charles J. Gender
treasurer, at No. II West Twenty-fourth
street, New York. When victory has
been achieved over the unscrupulOus
combination which is now endeavoring
to thrust Blaine into the Presidential
Office, the recorded list of such contribu-
tors will be a roll of honor such as
no other party in this country has ever
possessed. Our opponents cannot be
saved from disaster by forcing their un-
willing candidate to speak TO assem-
5lages Of people. The man who wrote
theFiSher letters will never be the choice
Of the people for President of the United
States.
ARTHUR P. GERMAN,
Chairman National Democratic
Executive Committee.
