one of the largest cigar box manufac-
turers In PennsvlVania. He knows by ex.
perience the advantage of Protect n "a
the Manufactured as well as the laboring
ma and the Democrats party's attitude
on that question is tie cause of StOut's
conversion. He built up his industry BY

HE WILL VOTE FOR HARRISON.

Howard, enc of the largest cutlery
manufacturers in ConDecticut, was in the
city to-day. He has always been q
Democrat, and was once a candidate for

three months, and had formed his opin
lon from actual observation He added;
my brother was elected to the LegIsla-
ture by the Democratic, and my father has
been life long member of that pa ty,
but our three It's VIII be given to Har
rison in November. There are thousands
OF other Democrats, merchants, manu-
facturers and laborers who will vote the

WHY DEMOCRAT WON'T VOTE FOR
CLEVELAND.
CARLISLE, Aug. Benjamin Get vs.,
Of Frankford, who wa' a soldier OF the
late war aud always Democrat, has de-
clar himself Harrison mau. HIS rea-
sons are that the present Administr alton
heo shown preference for the southern
soldier over the northern soldier in the
way OF appointments; secondly, because
the President vetosd the Dependent bill,
and IS he is laborlng man he believes In
a policy whereby the people of this nation
can supply their wants by their own labor
and own with their own material.
