THIRD PARTY POLICY,

New Light Thrown on the Methods Pur-
sued by the Party's Leaders.
1t is well-recognized tact that in
the Northern States the Prohibition
party draws most of it's votes from the
Republicans, while in the Southern
States whatever strength it has is
mainly drawn from Democratic sour
ces. If the Third party, therefore,
made an aggressive campaign in both
Northern and Southern States which
are more or less doubtful, as, for in
stance, in New Jersey and New York
on the one hand and in Virginia and
North Carolina on the other hand, it
would seem to be clear that it's leaders
are actuated, as they claim to be, by
not by any special hatred of either one
party Or the other. -....." .4
- The fact is, however, that the whole
strength of the Third party canvass is
being put this year into the Northern
doubtful States, or those which De-
the Southern States that Republicans
class as doubtful no canvass at all is
made by the Prohibition managers.
In other words, the Third party is act
ing, in this campaign, simply and
solely for Democratic success When
we say this we do not mean that the
rank and file of the party are actuated
by any such motive. The majority of
the men who vote the Prohibition
ticket do so from pure, if erroneous,
motives. But the managers find it
easy to direct the canvass as they
please, and they do please to direct it
as we have said.
A confirmation of this view is af-
forded by an interview recently had
with Third party leader in Virginia,
and printed in the Harrisonburg Re
publican. When asked why the Prohi-
bitionists were not active in Virginia
this year, this leader said: s.'The Ma
tional Committee are making special
effort and spending their main strength
in certain States, New York, New Jer-
sey, Connecticut, Indiana, Michigan,
Illinois and Minnesota. Our party
wants these States to go Democratic.
You see, if the Republican party loses
those States it loses the election and
goes to pieces. II it succeeds in this
election it regains firm power. Our
hope. for 1892, to have any prestige in
that election, is to burstup the Repub-
'lican party. =

There was a lively riot last night about
half past o'clock at North Halsted street

three manned by imported men, were fol-
lowing each OTHER closely down Halsted

they were stopped by a barricade
of heavy wagons, ash boxes, beer

TlLDEN AND CLEVELAND,
Why Mr.. Randall Has Been Slaughtere
by the President.

Why Mr.. Randall Has Been Slaughtered
by the President.
When Mr.. Tilden was alive he was
the real leader of Democratic opinion.
He impressed his views on Mr.. Randall,
Mr.. Converse and other Democratic
leaders, and they are embodied in the
tariff plank of the platform Of four
years ago. Because Mr.. Cleveland has
made a wide departure from that plat
form and the views of Mr. Tilden, Mr..
Converse has decided to support Har-
rison and protection on the stump and
at the polls.
The sole excuse for Mr.. Clevelahd's
departure from the attitude of Tilden
Democracy is the alleged menace of
the surplus revenue. But Mr.. Tllden
foresaw this issue and put his views on
record. To show the wide divergence
of the Tilden and the Cleveland De-
mocracy it is only necessary to COM
pare the following quotations.:
