CHEERED ON TO VICTORY
THE NATIONAL COMMITTEES AID
DRESS TO THE PARTY.

Success Made a Certainty by the Re-
nomination of the President-Onlya
Faction of the Republican Party at
Gen. Harrisons Back-The True Re-
lations of the High Tax Crowd to
the Workingmen.
New YORK, Nov. 2.-The national dem
ocratic committee has issued the following
address:
To the People of the United States:
The national democratic committee thinks 1t
ought to say few words to you in these closing
hours of the campaign.
III was plain before toe nomination OF Grover
Cleveland that great majority of the citizens
of all conditions desired his reelection because
his administration OF the office of President had
been signal example of honest government.
since his renominaton, the united action OF
the Democratic party, the cordial support OF
the independent press, the testimony paid TO his
merits by the most influential republican jour
nails, anu by large bodies of men who had pre-
viously acted with the Republican party, AMI
your general good will have made his election
certainly.
AN EXTRAORDINARY CAMPAIGN
The campaign, which is about closing, has
been extraordinary in kind. We realize that
we have not been engaged in u struggle with
the National Republican party. but with fac
ton, which dictated its candidate and acts in
its name The methods pursued by this fac
tion have been such as might reasonably
nave been expected. The men Of
that faction are believers in coercion,
and in the corrupting power of money. They
have endeavored to compel manufacturers to
control the votes of their employees. They have
81 ught to divide and break up organizations of
workingmen, formed for the protection Of labor,
by the lavish expenditure of money. They are
chargeabe with efforts to obtain success in GER
tain states and congressional districts by the
colonization of illegal voters.
THE FISHERIES TILT.
They are followers of men, who, while re-
tuSlng to adjust an international controversy
by treaty, would not accord to President Cleve-
land sufficient means of retaliation.
They are in harmony with those who stigma
tie naturalized citizens as unworthy to share
with them all the privileges of citizenship in
our common country, and yet endeavOr by mis-
representation and worse methods to create
prejudice in the minds of those natur7thzed
citizens against President who has always been
steady upholder of their equal rights, at home
and abroad, as American citizens.
MINISTER VESTS MISTAKE.
The President has properly rebuked the Off
| ciOus interference of a foreign minister IL our
internal affairs. You will see to it that Il ose
| who procured or cOuntenanced the fraud by
| which such interference was solicited, pun
| ished by your indignant and overwhelming vote
| at the ballot box. The method and character
| of the attempt made, by whOmsoevcr it was
| conceived or executed was unworthy Of q great
| political contest and deserves and has received
the merited condemnation Of every honest citi-
zen thrOu hOut the land.
| The methods pursued in the contest again st
| us are plain Indications of what the future his
| tory of the country would BE- it the faction nov
| cOntending in the name OF the Republican party
| should achieve power.
| WHAT CLEvELAND's SUCCESS MEANS.
| On the other hand, the history of the past
| administration cf Grover Cleveland is proof OF
what his administration will be when ho as
| sumes the duties of the ensuing presidential
| term. You know him to be an honest, wis Q,
| resolute and capable man. No temptation Gu
| lead him astray from the paths marked out by
| public duty. His experience, knowledge and
| Judgment, his patient and unselhSh examination
ofevery public question before taking action, and
| bis resoute adherence to well considered CON
cusions, mark him as the man best fitted in this
generation to conduct at this period the public
business of the people Of the United States.
1t is your duty to assure yourselves of the re-
election of this faithful and distinguished puo-
lie servant.
EVERY VOTER CAN HELP.

GUARD AGAINST FRAUD.
You can and must protect yourselves, and all
within your reach, from fraud, intimidation or
corruption. If each man among you will fulfill
these sacred obligations, the efforts of the men
who are arrayed against good government will
wholly fail. The individual labors of each one of
