did not find an old soldier, either Democrat or Re
publican who going to vote for Cleveland As
for the tariff that plainly losing us largo
number Of votes. Then the eulogies Of Cleveland In
the Canadian newspapers are hurting us. An IRISH
American, for instance would have some business In
Canada aud would no sooner cross the line than no
would find Englishmen prasing Cleveland and say
ing that the Mills bill supported by him was the
greatest piece Of statesmanship OF modern times
Well. no Irish-Amercan likes to hear that kind OF
talk, and 1 think 1t hurts u.s."
Speaker Fremont Cole brought the report from
Schuyler County that the sheep Of that county
we're greatly disturbed by the progress made by the
Mills bill. "The dealers in WOOL, he said, " in
Schuyler County. whether Democrats or Republicans,
opposed to wool being put on the free LIST, ana

Rock Stream In Yates County the borders Of Schy
Ter County, Harrison Club of 100 members has been
organized Sixteen of these 100 members of the club
are Democrats One OF them IS Lewis j. Phinney-
whom the Democrats ran for member of the Assembly
few years ago We shall gain largely In schuyler
County by tho tariff issue. Indeed, shall gain
everywhere I'm Southern New-York upon that issue,
and from what l hear from my fellowAssemblymen
Judge that throughout the State are making gains
from the Democrats. And do not hear OF any de-
sertions TO the Democrats. I believe that the Proh
biton vote will be less this year. because many tenn
perance Republicans in the Prohibition ranks are sat-
isfed with the action of the Republican party In
passing the Hlgh-License act. look therefore, to
falling of of the Prohibition vote.'

We cannot compete with salt made by the pauper labor

dreds of thousands of dollars have been invested III
the salt works of wyoming County and they would be
lost, fear, If the bill becomes law. The Democrats
of the county perceive this, and many OF them arc
joining the Harrison clubs while Others say they VIII
vote for Harrison One Of the most prominent
Democrats of Warsaw, John Brown, who has
large investments in the salt works ara
in a sheep farm, has announced himself openly for
