the state probably more than almost
any other man this season, and from
what | can learn the democrats appear
to be united on the tariff issue. II is
my unbiased opinion that Cleveland
will be reelected. lie will carry
Indiana, too. have talked with the
leading men of the labor party of that
state and they assure me that i'm no
event will Harrison be permitted TO
get its electoral vote. lie is foe to
the organized labor. The labor party
vote i'll illinois will surprise the people.
Robert Carmack, rep. / have always
been a republican, but the prohibition
will be the future party. 1t will teach
the republicans a lesson in the coming
campaign.
Cyrus Brudlove, rep, | am not with
the republicans on the tariff and, conse.
qnently, will have to go to the democrats.
even go further than the majority of
the democrats or its platform, inasmuch
a. | want to see free trade. There is
not Il farmer or laboringman in this
section benefited by the high tariff.
John Dare, rep, have been u re-
publican for twenty years, but have
come to the conclusion that that party
is wrong on the tariff question.
Frank Pritchard, rep, have always
been tor high tariff, but reading and
observation convince me that low
tariff is what we want. Dear food
and clothing and cheap whisky and
tobacco will not win. | have conclud-
ed that the democrats are right.
Henry Hanson, rep, Hereafter | will
be found supporting the democrats on
the tariff. | believe Cleveland will be
elected on that issue, and that Palmer
will carry the state.
Il. E. III. Westfall, rep, 1t seems to
be a toregone conclusion that Cleveland
will be elected. He has made good
president and | believe he is right OH
the tariff question. l have been re-
publican ever since that party was
formed, but l can not support the free
whisky and tobacco plank, which
means dear food and clothing.

yet it is a step in the right way.
George w. Philippe, union labor,
Believes the laboring men will support
the democratic ticket in November.
Sees So reason why the labor element

last eight wears. Laboring men do moi
want free whisky, but they do want
cheaper blankets.

been republican; have voted that
ticket ever since its formation, but shall
vote for Cleveland and Thurman this
fall. | think and sincerely believe that
