The Democratic advocate., 1884-08-09
Political Notes.

1t is reported that Mr.. Tilden has promised
to give $50, 900 to the Democratic Presiden-
tial campaign fund.
Mr.. Lewis Worthington and Mr.. John L..
Slettimas, than whom no two men stand high
er in Cincinnati social or business circles, have
declared openly that they will not support
Blaine for President.
David H. Bouic, one of the vice presidents
of the Maryland State Temperance Alliance,
and president of Montgomery County lem
| perance Alliance, is an earnest advocate OF
the election of Cleveland and Hendricks.
| The Cleveland Plain Dealer says Hon.
A. &. Riddle, well known in this section of
the state as Il lifelong and earnest Republican,
and at the present time corporation counsel
of Washington City, was invited by the Re
publican committee to stump Ohio for Blaine
and has refused.
The Rochester Union publishes the names
of sixty-two Republicans in that city who de-
! clare their intention to vote for Cleveland and
| Hendricks. Among their number are twenty
seven business and professional men. Like
their Independent brethren elsewhere, they
denounce Blaine as dishonest and corrupt.
Every laboring man in this country with a
family of five persons who earns $40U year
pays out of his wages not less than 500 year
in taxes under the protective tariff system.
| While the tariff adds nothing TO the wages OF
his labor it robs his family of many comforts
OF living by enhancing the prices of nearly all
commodities. s.-Phlddelphta Record.
/ The State election in Alabama took place
! Monday and resulted in the choice of the only
/ State ticket in the field-the Regular Demo-
cratic. In the counties there were three tick
cts, the '.Straightout'' Democratic, the Reg
| ularn Democratic and the Republican. The
regular Democracy we're successful on the
! local tickets rs far as heard from, except in
Mobile.
The Republicans say the workingmen will
vote for Blaine, yet the executive committee
! of the National Labor party have indorsed the
course of Governor Cleveland. 1t looks very
much as though the laboring men are not the
fools the Republicans supposed. If Blaine is
| the friend OF the laboring man he would not
/ employ imported laborers i'll his mines, who
work for 65 cents day, when American la
borers demand dollar.
Among the prominent Republicans Of AL
bany who have declared for Cleveland are
Paul +. Cooper and James +. Cooper, son and
grandson of the great American novelist, j.
| Fepnipore Cooper; Dr. }. S. Delavan, Maui
rice F. yiele, Dr.. Henry Hun, Gen. Robert
S, Oliver, Edward Bowditch, Dudley, Olcott,
president of the Mechanics and Farmers
Bank Carl n Greig, Of the State National
Bank, DIR. Samuel b. Ward and Smith s.
Fine. The list is a long one and daily grow
ing longer.
shire, was held Tuesday, under peculiar CIR
cumstances, Last Saturday the Democrats
nominated ex-Judge CALVIN Page for Mayor.
/ Mr.. Page is and has always been strong
Democrat On Monday the Republicans nom
mated W. II. Sise. Mr.. Sise appeared at all
the polling places in the morning, and an
nounced that he would not stand, and the
Republicans distributed ballots with Mr.
Pages name at the head. The result of the
election was the election Of Page by vote OF
l0D3 to 434 for Sse, and the Democrats, for
the first time in seven years, elected major
ity of the City Government, securing IL out
OF the 10 Councilmen, and u ont Of Alder
men.
at is time we had navy in the United
States,'' said Senator Joe Hawley at the
Blaine ratification meeting III New York.
Well, whose fault is it we have none ? Since
1866, the civil war closing the year previous,
Congress has Appropriated for the navy, to be
used in addition to amounts received from the
sale of old materials, over 1886, 900, 600. Be-
tween the years 1874 and 1860 the total ap-
preparations were 1886, 600 ,O00, or nearly
S5O,00O, 900 less than those for the last eigh:
teen years. Between 1871 and 1860 we had
o navy sufficient for all needs. We now have
no navy. Why? Because the Republican
party has wasted or stolen the money so Law
ishly appropriated. The people want to see
the books. 1t will be to Blaine's interest they
should not be opened. Cleveland will be the
; man to let the daylight in.
In New York city, on Monday night, Irving
Hall held a ratification meeting, at which Col.
Fellows, in speaking of r. B. Hayes, said that
she was the only successful competitor that
Mother Mandelbaum ever had as receiver Of
stolen goods Of the 290,O00,000 acres OF
land given away by the Republicans James
g. Blaine, he said, voted for every grant.
! This was as much land as was in cultivation
between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans Ii
was given away, or rather stolen, so that
James G. Blaine, as Speaker of the House Of
Representatives, might make couple ofmil-
lion of dollars. Col. Fellows said that the
Republicans said, $50 West if you want TO
: see enthusiasm for Blaine He went, but
didn't see it. The farmers said that they
| would not vote for so corrupt a man. he
met out thege some farmers and revenue otfi-
GERS who told him that the enthusiasm was
, greatest in the East,
