TO MEN

Merchants, manufacturers and business men
in general may, if they will, decide the policy
of the country by their votes on Tuesday
next. Their interests are bound up with
those of the entire people, but there are spe-
cial considerations which concern them. Let
us examine the alternatives which the crisis
presents.
Should Grover Cleveland be elected, the free
trade agitation would be revived with unre-
lenting fury. From November until March
next the country would be in doubt regarding
and this distrust would be increased
should the House of Representatives
be, u~nhappily, again Democratic. The full
influence of the new administration would be
exercised in favor of the aggressive free-trad-
ers, and the conflict over the tariff may be
prolonged into the next presidential election.
1t must be obvious to every business man
that this state of suspense would retard the
revival of trade and react upon our agricul-
tura1 interests, and upon the welfare of every
one engaged in manufactures. Enterprise
would be paralyzed, more manufacturers
would close their works or run them on short
time, capitalists would not make new invest
ments, property would decline in value, and,
worse than all, labor would lack employment.
In the South the Bourbon Democrats would
become dominant, and the progress of that
vast region would be hopelessiy retarded.
On the other hand. the success of Blaine
and Logan will stimulate home industry, i'm
part renewed courage to our merchants and
manufacturers, inspire confidence among cap
i~talists, and enhance the value of real estate and
all sound securities. The New South" which
Mr.. Blaine has so eloquently. outlined will
gain ascendency, and the vast region from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande, which nature
has so generously endowed, will undergo rapid
development. All these benefcent results
will insure abundant employment for labor and
enhance the price of produce by stimulating
the demand therefor.
Which alternative will business men accept
-CleVeland's negative policy, with its attend
ant doubt and unrest, or Blaine's mastery
policy which is clear aad progressive and i'm
plies, to use his own words; peace with the
whole world; commercial expansion in every
practicable direction; encouragement of every
form of American industry"9 Ceveland's
election would mean distrust and depression;
Blaine's stability and prosperity.

would be extended to the church ever after, a
promise at that time almost as glittering and
much more probable Of fulfllment than was
Satan's on the mountain. The almost unani-
nous opposition of the Catholic clergy to
Cleveland's candidacy arises from this cause.
The church that provides for no divorce at
all, holding marriage dissolvable only by
death, has little sympathy for him who, In
der the solemnest promises Of marriage, ac-
composites the ruin of a woman, and refuses
to save his illegitimate son from damnation (ac-
cording to the churchA, by taking its mother
as his wife, The idea that the Catholics are
not in sympathy with Blaine in this campaign
has been exploded, as it was in this city at
the Irish Catholic fair on Saturday night last,
when Blaine received 3S9 votes to but 1876 for
Cleveland.

POLITICAL NOTE AND GOSSIP.

THE Republicans of the Second congressional
district of Chicago have Endorsed the candidacy
OF Congressman Finerty.
REpKTs received in New York indicate that
the Irish American detection from the Demo
cratic party is greatest in New York city, Chi
cago, Brooklyn, New Jersey, Connecticut aad
Indiana.
THE New Jersey Democrats are beginning to
discount their defeat Tuesday. They pretend
that the appointment of United States deputy
marshaIs and supervisors is for the purpose of
frightening Democrats from the polls.
MOST fattering reports have been received by
the national Republican committee from central
New York. The mugwump movement there
has gradually diminished since July. There is
hardly a trace of 1t now. On the other hand,
the detection from the Democrats oil account of
the tariff issue and Clevelands bad moral record
has assumed large proportions.

New York have confidence in Mr.. Blaine, and
they testified to their regard for him in q telling

one that will go straight to the understanding
of all God fearing men Of the Nation. and they

THE QUESTION OF 'lsBCTloNALIsm,u

This is the last week of the campaign, and
but four full days remain before the morning
of election day. As might have been expected,
a great deal Of feeling has been aroused, and
a great many Incorporate things have been
said. We would like, however, to dispassion-
ately call attention to one feature of the can
vass that ought to set sensible men to
thinking calmly, but earnestly, even at this
late day. 1t is now charged that Mr.. Blaine
and the Republican party have sprung the
sectional issue again, and that a wanton
warfare is being made upon the South. So
far from this being the case, exactly the op-
posite is true. In all this great Republic
there is but one "section'-one portion re-
solved, even at the expense Of violence and
murder, to be peculiar from all other parts.
The solid South is the only ''secrion" there is.
The North, ever free and liberal in all things,
reforms and recrystallizes almost annually,
and it is only in presidential campaigns, when
brought face to face with the organized 'tsec-
ton" that any thought of sectional4uestions
arises. But these questions do arise, and will
not down. They have been sneered at and
b~urlesqued, but they are alive to-day, and a
million sober-minded voters are to-day seri-
ously asking themselves the significance of
the ''solid South" impregnable as though
clad in steel armor, and as unyield-
ing as fate. Addressing ourselves now
to men not given to passion, to the voters
who vote only for the good Of the country, we
would like to ask them what means the solid
South-this only too palpable sectionalism, to
speak against which is 'treasonP" What OBJ
iect have the States lately in rebellion in views
What ''change" do they want that Ohio,
Pennsylvania, New York, Michigan AID Kan
sas DO not wantR Each of these States named
has, from time to time. elected Democratic
Governors and legislatures, but they have
never been willing to join with the solid
South to help it TO its desires. What does
this iron bound sectionalism meant They
have no industries that are not protected
alike with those of the North; neither will it
be claimed that they want raw cotton, sugar
or fruits put on the free list. Are the citi-
zens of Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and
Indiana less honest, less patriotic. less intelli-
gent, less to be trusted, than the citizens of
the solid South9 What can aetuate a paper
