THE GREAT STAMPEDE.

~ @ONSS
the poor and the laborer, fails to de-
ceive any longer. We gladly welcome
all to u ranks. The the democratic
party has always been the party OF the
people, and always will so continue to
be. Here is the way they talk
KANSAS.
Decatur county-James A. Redd,
farmer and old soldier, | voted tor
Blaine i'm 1884, and | shall vote for
this fall. l believe in a tariff
for revenue, not for protection.
Richard Stock, farmer, In 1884 l
voted for Blaine. This year l shall vote
for Cleveland and Thurman. Am OPP
posed to protection and favor reform as
expressed in the presidents message.
Harvey county-E. l.. Fisher, farm
er, rep, l voted for Blaine four years
ago, but Harrison is too much for me.
L can't support him, but will vote for
Cleveland. Judging from the ticket
they nominated, l think the republicans
wanted to be beaten.
Montgomery county,. N. Debru-
Ter, l have always been a reI ublicaD,

to which l was entitled while the re-
publicans were in power. When the
democrats got control of the admins.
tration they gave me a pension, L shall
vote for Cleveland.
Frego county-M. E. Doerschlag
has been a republican since 1868, but
can not support the national republican
ticket or indorse the platform, and
expects TO vote for Cleveland and re-
form. Thinks that the farmers in his
vicinity are opposed to q high protec-
tive tariff, and will vote for Cleveland
and tariff reduction
MICHIGAN.
Frankfort-C. G. Forney, command
or Carver post 1873, &. A. r., Cleveland
will get just as many soldier votes as
he did in "a. The dependent pension
bill has not hurt him or the party. He
will be elected by a larger majority
than before.
John w. Hills, real estate dealer,
pro-, My honest opinion is that the
democratic ticket will be elected. The
old bugbear of the republicans OF
bloody shirt, southern claims, etc., have
been exploded.
w. S. Moffat, l think Cleveland will
be re- elected. The action of the re-
publican convention at Chicago in not
doing anything in regard to temper
ance has Disguised the temperance re.
publicans, and they will vote the pro-
hibition ticket. l have been a black
abolitionist republican, but have left
them forever. The chances for Harri-
son and Morton are very slim.
Battle Creek-David Mather, farmer,
l have been q republican. l believe in
taxing liquors and tobacco. | shall
vote the prohibition ticket this year.
Edward Packard, mechanic, l am a
democrat and am satisfied with ouT
ticket and platform.
Elan Marsh, mechanic and inventor
1 am not pleased with the position OF
the republican party. l have five
brothers who like myself have been
republicans. We shall all vote fol
Cleveland. i
Chippewa county-James Seymour,
a pioneer farmer of Chippewa county
and q representative man and an indie
pendent in politics, l think the farmers
of this county almost to a man will
vote for tariff reform and Cleveland.
"What objection is there to Harrison
aud Mortonr
MI. S.-Oh, there is no objection to
them personally, but this protective
tariff don't protect the farmer; we buy
at high protection prices and sell in the
open markets of the world,
John Roddon, farmer, greenback, In
1876 / voted for Peter Cooper and have
worked for the greenback party ever
since, but this campaign l intend to
work and vote for Cleveland. l indorse
his tariff reform ideas; in fact, l &C
further-I want free wool, free cloth
ing, and free trade, but no free tobacco
and whisky. A majority OF my ole
friends, greenbackers, will support
Cleveland.
Allison G. Roe, greenbacker and late
prosecuting attorney, l will support
Cleveland, as will a large majority o
the forty thousand greenbackers tina
voted in this state in 1884.
Grand Rapids-Dr. 9. 5. Hazeltine
wholesale druggist, rep, l shall vot'
for Cleveland this year. 1 believe il
what he said in his message and l likt
him personally for his integrity, cour
age, and purity. The industries of the
country do not need the extensive pro
lection that the republicans claim.
e. r. Mills, leading Knight of LaboI
man, Two-thirds of the workingmen il
this city are in favor of reducing tn
tariff and will express their desires il
that direction this fall by their vote
for Cleveland and Thurman, not voting
for men, but for the principles thel
believe in. The trades unions have hat
q great Influence upon workingmen ii
making them see and think for them
selves and they realize the weak point
not only in the republican platform bu
In Harrison's record, and will vot'
accordingly.

OHIO.
Hon. A. @. Deboll, lawyer, rep
Sherman is an ADLER man than Harri
son, but they were not looking for
statesman at Chicago. l shall vote 10
Cleveland. / have decided upon thi
course, primarily, because OF the dem
ocratic platform, but l have Away
been an admirer of Thurman. L Xix
Cleyeland's administration, | think
is the best we have had well, sine
the war. The presidents message o
tariff reform suits me exactly, ana
think he has promulgated the winning
issue.
X. j. Beatty, of one of the lar2ei
glass tumbler works in the world, sal
that President Cleveland's ideas on Il
tariff question YER entirely IN accor
with his own. He believed that Anne
can industries were capable OF holdin
their own. He said his h~eretotol
political associates, the republican
would now have 10 class him anon
the mug wumps, for he could not yo
against Cleveland.
