From the Republican.


The Stampede.
The Democrat who does not believe
that the assertions from his own party
to the Republican ranks has attained
the diminsions of stampede is will
fully blind. From all parts of the
country reports come constantly of
changes going on, and in forty-nine
out Of every fifty cases the change is |
favorable to the Republicans. In no |
previous campaign in the history of the |
government has there been such a |
widespread and sweeping disaffection |
in the ranks of any political party as |
the free trade issue is causing in the |
Democratic party. Gladly would Mr..
Cleveland and his managers correct
their blunder if there was any hope
of thereby stemming the tide that
threatens to engulf them, but there is
none. The damage done is too great
for reparation. The following are
few of the more recent converts:

paraded with Harrison flags on their
way to steamer which took them
down the river on their annual excur-
sion. Every man, their foreman said,
was a supporter of Cleveland four
years ago, but they are now for Har-
riSon without an exception.
The head of the Munsell Stove
Works at Elizabethport, New Jersey,
/ I q
Democrat, and SO is nearly every one
of my workmen, but we'll vote for the
protection of American industries
every time. Did you think we would
vote to support England's paupers?"
w. S. Pierce, of Indiana, law part
ner of Senator Turpie and nephew of
Vice President Hendricks, and life
long Democrat, has declared himself fer
Harrison and says Indiana will go Re-
publ an ''by at least 5000 majority"
Vedder c. Reynolds, chairman Of the
Democratic central committee at
jamestown, New York, has declared
himself for Harrison and Morton and
resigned his Office.

of the knights of Labor, District No.
40, New York, heretofore Democrat,
is out for the Republican ticket. Mr..
NaughEon says: lone hundred thous-
and Irishmen who have heretofore
voted the Democratic ticket will Vote
for Harrison this year."
The employees of DotY & McFarlin,
paper manufacturers of Brooklyn, num-
bering $50 men, all of whom except six
voted for Cleveland in 1884, have swung
a handsome Harrison banner from the
top of their factory and are solidly sup
porting the Republican ticket.
A large Harrison club has been form
ed at Jerusalem, Yates county, New
York, composed exclusively of Demo
Gratis who have never voted Republic
can ticket.
Hon. John 7. Dunn. ex-SpeakerOf the
New Jersey House of Representatives
and one of the most prominent Demo-
cratic politicians in the State, has come
squarely out for Harrison and protec-
ton. Il am going to vote for Harrison"
said Mr.. Dunn, because l am dis
J gusted with my party, ant l have been

ton. If the party managers imagine
they can bambouzle the wOrkingmen
into calmly accepting dollar "A day in
stead of three because a mob of South
ern aristocrats and that Buffalo gentle-
man who occupies the White House

will find November 9Th that they have
made "a bowling error. They will
be hunting wildly around for
a hole to crawl into and
favorable opportunity of pull

: whether or not shall stump the State
for Harrison and Morton. The Irish
Americans at ElizabethpOrt, where /
live, will vote the protection ticket al
most to man. As you know. that is
the manufacturing quarter of the city,
and if the Democrats think the mechan-
les and laborers there are parcel of fools
they are nightly mistaken. l am a
Democrat, but when those flamboyant
Southern aristocrats and Anglo-maniac
aping dudes join hands to pull the
country down, L, for one, intend to pull
against them. No, sir; I'll have no
English in mine. y
We selected the above because, be-
ing in what are usually considered the
doubtful States, they are of more than
| ordinary significance. The changes
are going on in all parts of the Union,
unless possibly IN the cotton States of
the South, and whole columns could be
flied every day with lists of the
deserters.
