Governor Cleveland on the Tariff.

\ great deal of attention ha> teen attract
ed TO letter from Henry l. Nelson. private
secretary TO Speaker Carlisle, which was
printed in The BostoH Heraid NJ. Nelson
confirms what Professor Perry sail about
Mr.. C.eyeland's free trade tendencies
Speaking on this subject. Speaker CArIisle'S
private secretary saws:
There is no doub; OF Mr.. Ceveland's
position. He i, as thoroughly in earnest in
the cause of revenue reform a. his friend
Mr.. DOrsheimer. Ia the contest III Con
gress last winter he stood with Carlisle and
Morrison and against Randall. 1t is within
my personal knowledge that he wrote letters
10 New York members of Congress, urging
them 10 vote with Mr.. Morrison, both on
the question Of confederation and on the
motion to strike out the enactng clause of
the Morrison bill. At least one vote and
perhaps more were gained for the bill by
these letters. Mr.. Cleveland i, a revenue
reformer. lie is as aggressive against pro-
lection as any of the men who made Mr..
Carlisle speaker and who worked for the
Morrison bill. The National Committee
ought TO recognize facts. All the opposition
TO revenue reform, all the protection senti-
ment Of the country is arrayed against the
Democratic party. because four-ftths of the
Democratic majority in the present federal
House of Representatives voted last winter
in favor of reducing tariff taxation. For
the same reason, and because Mr.. Cleveland
approved Of the action of these four-ffths,
all the protection sentiment of the country
will be against him."

his REASONS why lie is REPUBLICAN.

Daniel I. kell-hcr Of Bangor, promi-
nent IRISH American, and for a long time
democrat presided at Blaine and Logan
rally, Friday evening. and gave the follow
ing strong reasons why an Irish-American
should vote for Blaine lie said
Fellow Citizens and Ladies: The position
which | occupy tonight in presiding at this
meeting in behalf Of the republican candi-
dates and republican principles, for which
honor | thank the committee of arrange
ments, is rather peculiar one for one who,
until yer, recently. has been identified with
the democratic party.
Whatever change had taken place this
year in my political feelings. was fully re-
solved not to take any conspicuous part in
the campaign, hut 10 simply exercise tie
rights of freeman in voting for the candi-
dates and the principles which. in my iudg-
meni, would best subserye the interests Of
the country and the prosperity of its people.
Applause. a different course might OK
pose me TO the harsh criticism Of those with
whom | have hitherto been associated
But, fellow citizens, when YOUR committee
of arrangements informed me that the elo-
quent gentleman from Ohio. my fellow coun-
tryman, was 70 speak 10 Bangor audience,
and asked me TO preside, ! assure YOU |

knowing az did uf that gentleman's ef-
forts in behalf Of that cause which myself
and every lrishman holds dear to the heart,
and proud al | am to be associated with
him in that cause, | am equally proud 10
stand with him for that true American cit-
zen and distinguished statesman, James g.
Blaine, [applausel and that soldier and
statesman also, John A. Logan.
Looking back Cor few months on the
events which have taken place, how did we

Vote When it Will Count.

There are thousands of Democrats in
Maine who sincerely desire to see Mr. Blaine
elected President. They are animated part
ly by State pride, partly by personal regard,
partly by intimate knowledge of his pre-em-
inent fitness and ability for the position
They will vote for him and will earnestly
seek for his success.
So we'll is this disposition of many Dem
ocrats in Maine understood that little effort
will be made to divert them from voting for
Mr.. Blame in November. But every effort
will be put forth to save their votes for the
Democratic ticket in September. They will
be told that no objection will he offered to
the expression of their personal sentiment
toward Mr.. Blame in the Presidential cleo
ton if they will adhere to the Democracy
in the State contest. But they should re-
member that vote for Mr.. Blaine in Nov
ember will have no value or influence COM
pared with vote for his State ticket in
September. Mr.. Blaine is certain to carry
Maine in November. A vote then will
count one vote and nothing more. 1t will
have no moral weight or effect elsewhere.
On the other hand, every vote added 10
the column Of Mr.. Blaine's friends in Sep
TENDER will magnify its moral force through
out the country. The larger the majority
of the Blaine ticket in the State election,
the greater the impulse impaired to the
Blaine cause all over the land. If the
friends and admirers of Mr.. Blaine in Maine,
outside Of his own party, want to put their
votes where they will do him the most good,
they will make them count in increasing the
Republican majority in September.

Constitutional Amendment Campaign.

The meetings being held in Bi,ldeford,
Saeo, and throughout York County in advo-
caey of the constitutional amendment have
been increasing in interest as the day Of
election approaches. The Temperance
Campmeeting at Old Orchard held Aug. 20,
30, 81, and Sept. ]. was well attended al
though the weather was unfav orable. Hon.
J. Is. Finch, the prince Of orators, made the
opening speech which wa, simply unanswer-
able. Gen. Neal Dow, Mrs. Mary A.
Woodbridge. and many other prominent
speakers we're present and addressed the
meetings.
York County has been thoroughly aroused
T. the importance of an overwhelming vote
on the sth day of Sept, favorable to the
adoption Of the amendment. Some oppo-
sltioa is expected in Biddeford, but the SEN
timent Of the best people Of the city is very
favorable. Many of the leading men-m min
listers. physicians. LAWYERS and merchants
have been constantly on the platform in the
t"c cities, or IN The schoOl-hOu>es OF the
country districts. and have constantly kept
the question Of the amendment separate
from party politics mud most of the leading
speakers take no stock in the prohibition
party movement. but intend 10 act MS they
have heretofore done with the Republican
or Democratic parties. The contest for the
adoption Of the amendment is not for Office,
or place, or power. hut for the homes, the
church, the best welfare Of the State. and it
is hoped ihut M side issues will diver, the
attention Of the people from the Importance
of voting "les." on the amendment

There is no class of people who should
be more in favor of a protective tariff than
the lumbermen of Maine. Free trade means
destruction TO their industry by the free ad-
mission of lumber from the adjoining Prov
inces. Already the tariff has been taken
from wood and our people are feeling the
burden that it has brought to them. Every
vote against Gov. ROBBIE is vote against
the highest interests of the lumbermen of
this State. 1t is a vote in favor of closing
the mills, of keeping the crews from the
woods and of running utterly one of the
greatest and most important industries in
the State.

ELLSWORTH, MAINE.
To the Editor Of the Wing and Courier:
What is the trouble between the Irish.
Americans of Bangor and the Commercial,
or why are the columns of that paper de-
voted to the abuse of Irish Americans for
doing what its proprietor has done himself
changing their political views? He is con-
tinually parading knowno;hngism before
the public, and lrishmen can safely Judge
from the last weeks issues of the Com
meTciai, had i existed thirty Years ago with
its present staff, it would have taken frs,
prize as knownothing organ. Know
nothingism has no more bearing than
cannibslism on the great question which is
to be determined at the ensuing election
the question TO be seulesi then and there

And foremost in the ranks TO vote back the
dictation of a foreign despot should be

bonds and fled from the oppression OF Great
Britain and found protection beneath the
banner Of the American Republic.
BY the way, there are lrishme1 living in

nothingism, who can walk out in their own
vicinity and point out more men in the
Democratic party than in the Republican
party who were connected with knownoth-
ingism. The worst element of the Repub-

The Tribune, as usual, gives Maine Re-
,ublicans the following good advice:

1.-THE only thing that troubles the Republi-
can managers in Maine concerning the Sep
tember election, is the over-confdence of the
voters that the Republicans will win there
anyhow. whether full vote is polled or not.
1t is probable that this supposition is true !;
but it is unwise for any Republican voter to
act on it, 1t is desirable that the majority
in September should be as large as possible.
We do not expect it to come up to the fig
ures which will be reached in November,
when Mr.. Blaine's personal interest in the
result will swell the number Of his followers,
but it ought to be large. Now is the time
for every true Republican in Maine to do
his best to bring out full vote. so that
there shall be nothing left Of the Democrat
ic party on September 9 but an ignoble rem
nant."
