notable and substantial of labor agitators
There is no possible redemption in any
thing that the Republican party has offer
ed that is encouraging to workingmen
The platform is fraud. Harrison's whole
record is adverse to the hopes and antici
pations of labor sympathizers, and Morton
represents everything antagonistic to the
welfare of community that does not de,
sire to be taxed to death. The ticket will
not ouly lose Indiana, but Ohio as well.

vote to let money accumulate in the treas

many promises and kept few. The Demo
Gratis have made few promises, and Cleye

and the man for the people.
]. Fl. Tobey (cigar maker, Rep. 1.-The
effect of the Republican platform on my
business, If carried ont, would be to lower
the price of cigars to the consumer and in
crease the number of shops. For the pur'
pose of protecting myself and other men il
