HOW INDIANA wORKINGMEN STAND.
John Waineman, of Daviess county.
President of the Miners Federation of
Southern Indiana - s'The Democratic
platform and candidates better represent
our interests than the Republican. Two
thirds of the miners in my district will
vote for Cleveland"
John Feagans, of Daviess county, Vice
President OF the State Federation of Mi
ners-" Orr men are generally in favor
OF tariff reform, and a large majority of
the miners will vote for the Democratic
nominees. The unpopularity of Harrison
among the lahoring men in this, his own
state, promises TO cost him many votes"
Lewis Custer, of Marion county, prom
lnent Henry George man and Secretary
Of the George Club-"I oppose the Re
publican party this campaign, although |
voted for Blaine in 1884. The Chicago
platform represents monopoly in it's most
aggravated form. Harrison is a corpora

backed up and dominated by privileged
classes, the would-be aristocracv of Amer

fraud. Harrison's whole record is ad-
verse to the hopes and anticipations of
labor sympathizers

An effort will be made to hoodwink the

nothing else"

f. B. Beeson, of Whitley county-"I
would have liked platform favorng tar
