Editor State Journal: Re kind enough
to give this communication space in your
widely circulated paper. l say widely
circulated because your little notice in
regard to the pamphlet Of the public acts
of Grover Cleveland, the next President
OF the United States, has brought many
persons to me from all parts Of the city
asking foi pamphlet, so that they may
know the truth, about Cleveland and
reform. Inqniry Of the large
number of young and old per-
sons who have called satisfies me
that the Democracy of Wilmington is
marching unitedly and steadily to vic
tory next November. The false reports
OF the Republican newspapers here and
elsewhere are having no effect upon the
strong tide OF public opinion In favor Of
Cleveland and reform. The reports from
the great west indicate that the Demoo-
raoy is wild with enthuissism. The
party Is solid, and very many Indepen
dents are joining the ranks Of our
united party, thereby making VIC
tory doubly sure. There appears
| to be great confidence manifested
by the people everywhere In the leaders
Of the Democracy, and IL is evident that
about two millions Of broken. hearted and
disorganized Republicans are on the run,
but 6eserters are joining the solid ranks
Of the reform party every day, so that by
November 4th the star route to 'Salt
river" will be filled with oorruptionists
and plunderers, who onoe stood before
the people seemingly as honest men.
II is said by q prominent member OF
the Grand Army Of the Republic, a
staunoh Republican, that John A. Logan
was dismissed from the organization for
non payment of dues; for further in
formation see the New York World Of
September Sd. By the way, this Repub.
l'lican says he cannot vote for Blaine be-
cause he is corrupt, but concludes hif
letter In these words: Therefore, fol
this election at least, shall vote for the
reform governor-Grover Cleveland"
We have In this city quite q number o
stsunoh Republicans who have expressed
themselves, as not satisfied with Mr.
Blaine and who state positively that they
! will vote for Cleveland and reform. Mex
Monday Maine, / suppose, will declar'
for Blaine and continuance OF fraud By
a small majority. suggest to our Re
, publican friends Of this city the prophet,
, Of sending a delegation Of negroes from
,, this city to Maine TO vote esrly and often
, Mr.. Blaine wants an honest vote and
! fair count. They might send the sam
! delegation that the Republicans sent :
: Chester sbaut two weeks ago to vote earl.
: and often in order TO help their brethrel
out at q nomination election for loca
! officers. This Is not the first time th
= truly loyal attempted to pollute the balle
4 box. Some years ago this "honest vote
party brought gang Of roughs fror
Philadelphia and sent them down
Approximately hundred to destro
the ballot box, but the
% failed, as they did in Chests
% 1.-TWO weeks ago. This very "honei
d o,unt" party some years ago forged Ii
D. county tax receipt seals in order TO detei
y the will Of the majority Of the voters, br
d they were soon detected, and failed
OF accomplish their purpose. The Demo
ie racy Of Wilmington know the Republ
cans will resort TO any and ell kinds
fraud to defeat the will Of the peopl
But at last the people have got their ey
d. lopened, and have determined to turn q
IN raaoals out. The grand old party
he reform ia receiving recruits from q
he enemy's ranks every day, indicating th
ut the victory will be overwhelming
r.. November. Steady, patriots. steady.
