The preliminary work b pretty we'll

scarcely waiting for their own nominations

away from the Democratic party.
Speeches, pamphlets, tracts with Eaglish
aAgs on them, and all sort Of tricks aDd

NO MORE ANXIETY.
1--WE have watched Il very closely, and
have been anxious Of courss, 70 90 what
the result would b. The time has como
when il can be reported deanitsly that
nothing has been accomplished. The o.
forts have not ouly been unsuccessful, bat
they have recoiled and reacted In favor Of
the Democratic ticket TIE Dsmocsstic
workingmen will vote the Dsuocatic
ticket. as usual, aud from this ums o. Re-
publican workingmen will bs brought into
our ranks.
THE preparation have been % busy
with being now nearly complsts. and tho
Republican onslaught having proved Q
signal failure, We will now 20 forward with
aggressive work to turn its repulss into .
route, and 10 educate che voters Of our
own party and the other on the question Of
tariff reform. However, tho main feature
of our report In outside Of this, In my
opinion. II Ia the fcelipg Of cou6dcucs
the people generally have In President
Cleveland. Even those who do not dir
tinctly understand the tariff Issue are %
strong in this feeling that the efforts 70 b.
fog and bswildsr them entirely fail. They
will vote for Cleveland on their feelings Of
trust and confidence. They consider him
patriotic, brave, honest and faithful.
CLAIMING THE WEST.
This confidence our reports indicats ~
particularly strong in the agricultural 70.
gions Of the West The farmers trust
Cleveland. Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Iowa and Minnesota, will 70 for Cleve-
land and Thurman, and the great adnnt-
age Of this will be in the gain Il win In
sure in Senators and Congrcssmsn. The
great reforms that the Executive plans
will be encouraged by Democratic Con-
grsss, instead Of thwarted BY an opposition
body.
