more lies, tricks and frauds on top of
tricks and frauds, constitute the entire
Republican programme. Yesterday
Quay telegraphed to country weeklies
In many states, especially those of re-
Iigious character, that Fisk had with
drawn from the canvass. This trans
parent trick was promptly reported to
the national Democratic headquarters.
and the result is that it is exposed
in advance. Inquiry at Prohibition
headquarters to-day developed the fol-
lowing statement: ''GeD. Fisk has not
withdrawn; has no idea of withdrawing,
and expects to poll vote that will sur
prise the other candidates. The Pro-
hibition committee claim $4,000 in
the state of New York with much
and back up the statement
with an exhibit of returns from
every county gathered through can
vassers that have been at work during
the past thirty days. Indignation at the
headquarters falsehood is
very great, and manifesto will be pub
Iished calling upon the friends of pro-
hibition to disbelieve all lies. and stand
by their candidates and their principles.
The last dodge contemplated by Quay
& Co. is
ANOTHER FORGED LETTER,
but they can't issue it now, inasmuch as
they are aware that the Democrats
know all about it, and are ready to eX-
pose it on the instant. 1t may be set
down as a safe rule that an new
sprung after the publica-
tion OF this dispatch are roorbachs.
The legitimate argument and news
of the campaign are over, and
any announcement made now of some
thing alleged to have occurred some
time ago is on its face falSehOOd. This.
rule is applicable to everything except
strictly current events. SO if any SEN
sation about the past is put out at this
late day all good and sensible citizens
will not believe it. The national
Democratic committee to-day received
the original of the Infamous Dudley
circular. Ithas been photographed and
Autographed, and will be furnished to
as many Democratic daily papers as
can be reached in time for publication
on Sunday morning. Any person can
test the authenticity of Dudley's
signature by bringing a fac
simile copy of this letter to
a United States pensioner holding one
of the certificates during Dudley's term.
This comparison will in every case show
that the signature is correct and the in
famous circular genuine. This dOcu-
ment will prove more fatal than any
similar paper of previous campaigns, as
it is the elimination OF a series of cam
pa,Up tricks unpQuaIpd for
DISHONESTY AND BASENEsS
in American political records. In other
campaign MS some agents OF certain par
ties have, with or without explicit head
quarters authority, resorted to ire
sponsible tricks and devices, but there
was never campaign but this one dur
ing which so great reliance was placed
upon such agencies for its chance of
success on an officially pursued
method of villainy from beginning to
the end of the canvass. The entire in
stitution of the Republican campaign is
one OF dishonest minds. 1t has proved
to be the absolute opposite OF the DEM
ocratic idea of campaign of fair and
free discussion of an issue of
pie. The Republicans have sought to
develop the issue. They have lodged
from one point to another, and instead
of making an affirmative canvass in
support of American principle they
have contented themselves with trying
to falsify the position of their opponents
and use foreign names and influence to
bolster up their false claims and to
finish their infamous work by
bribery and intimidation. Their whole
theory, as is natural to such men who
now hold the Republican machine. is
that the American people can be sue
cessfully bought and humbugged.
They do not believe in the public virtue
of the masses, and, like the poll
ticians in the degenerate days of the
great ancient Republicans, they rely
for success on trading on the vices of
the people. The Democrats have placed
their reliance on the virtue and intelli-
gence in the American system. and have
stood by it. Their confidence is greater
now than ever, and they look to the re-
suit of next Tuesday as vindi-
cation, not only of Democracy, but
of American methods in government.
The national Democratic committee has
received full information with refer
ence to the final Republican effort. 1t
consists OF the proposed publication of
a pretended letter of President Cleve-
lands which
IS AN. ABSOLUTE FORGERY.
1t is likely to be published close to
election day. Any document purport-
ing to be signed by Grover Cleveland
that appears from Republican sources
may be safely regarded and denounced
as forgery. Following is the address
of the national Democratic committee
issued tonight.
To the people of the United States: The
national Democratic committee thinks it
right to say few words to you in these clos
ing hours of the campaign. 1t was plain be-
fore the nomination of Grover Cleveland
that the great majority of citizens Of all opin-
of the Office Of president has
been signal example of honest
government. The campaign which is
about closing has been extraordinary
in kind: We realize that we have net been
party but with faction which dictated its
and acts in its name. The meth
DDS pursued by this faction have been such
as might reasonably have been expected
The men of that faction are believers in CO.
ercion and in the corrupting power of
money. They haYe endeavored to compel
to control the votes of their
employees. They nave sought to
DIVIDE AND BREAK UP
of wOrkingmen formed for the
protection of labor by the lavish expendi-
lure of money. They are chargeable with
efforts to obtain success in certain states and
districts by the colonization of
Illegal voters. They are the following of
men who. while refusing to adjust national
by that they would not
accord to President Cleveland sufficient
means of retaliation, are in har-
nony with those who stigmatize
laturalized citizens as unworthy TO
share with them all the privileges of
