open bribery of the base elements o: their
population, and the farmers and working
men of Connecticut, robbed OF their right
full state government by the methods now
sought to be practiced against Grover
Cleveland-will remember their wrongs at
the polls on the Sth of November-and the
people of Delaware and West Virginia, re
senting the attempt now being made to
corrupt and to intimidate many of their
number, will follow their example.
You will bear in mind that you owe
to the few men who maintain the present
corrupting and iniqultious tariff the ini-
tiation and continuing threat OF the force
bill, That was measure introduced for
the purpose of furthering Republican par
tisan schemes. Under it they could haye
useo the federal Judiciary for political
purposes and have employed an army of
federal officials, paid tor out of the pnblc
treasury, to control the coming presiden-
tial election and all elections for member
of congress. Failing in that plan, they
have again put their hands in their peck
cts aud have raised campaign fund.
President Harrison is is favor OF the very
method of carrying federal elections
which that dangerous bill supplies.
You must on the Sth day of November
make choice which will vitality affect the
Interests of your country. The individual
vote OF each one of you is Of supreme i'm
portance. Under Grover Cleveland as
president the highest and controlling
motive and rule of his administrative
action, and of the whole Democratic and
independent vote united in his support,
will be the greatest good to the greatest
number and public Office will be sacredly
regarded as public trust. The civil
service will not be dragged against its will
through the mire of nominating conven-
iions, but the law regulating it will be
honestly enforced. Agriculture and COM
merce, growing steadily side by side under
wiser laws, will greatly increase our
national prosperity. Our manufactures
will keep pace with our population and
commerce, and individual producers will
possess greater measure of prosperity.
The workingman in the field and in
the shop will find that his
wants are more taken into account and
his reasonable demands more readily listen
ed to. No combination will be able to die
tate laws to Grover Cleveland.
I'VE ask every one of you to labor with
out ceasing for Cleveland and Stevenson
and for good government under a Demo-
cratic administration. On the day of
election lay aside all duties except the
duties of that day. Protect your respective
polls against bribery, fraud or intimida-
tion. No balance of authority can empow.
cr any man TO interfere with the laws in
casting your rightful ballots. There is
behind each of You a force of public opin
ion and the power of actual lawful law
which will assuredly hold to strict account
the men who are now endeavoring to de-
feat fair expression of your will. Right
IL with us, and we are certain of victory.
Make 1t an overwhelming triumph"

Poor Half savages Beguiled on Ship

posed OF for a Prlce-Hundreds
Dead In Two Years--What u
NewsPaperman Learned
on q SLAYER.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.--The Exam
liner this morning contained lengthy
account OF the cruise of the steamer,
Montserrat which arrived here Thurs
day from San Jose de Guatemala, after
having landed 3s8 natives of the Gill
bert islands, who were delivered to
wealthy plantation owners of Central
America, under contract to become
laborers there for a term Of years
The account was written by an Ex-
aminer reporter, who left here on the
Montserrat in April in the guise of q
sailor and accompanied her on the en-
tire voyage. 1t declares that the Mont
serrat was slave ship; that the ma
tives were sold in Guatemala for 500 a
head, the sum being taken in the guise
Of passage money" that the steamer
visited number of places in the Gill
bert group and that most questionable
methods were resorted to to get ma
tives aboard. In a number of cases
young boys were induced to GO aboard
the steamer and were frightened into
signing contract, and then their
parents and older relatives, not being
willing to part with them, would
go aboard also. A number of
old and decrepit men and women and
young children were among those Sc
cured. On the arrival at Guatemala
the plantation owners would some
times demur at paying for such help
less labor and these victims would
then be presented to them in consider
alton Of their paying for the more
able bodied ones
The manager of the expedition was
W. II. Ferguson, who was also con-
nected with the slave ship Tahiti,
which sank with 400 Gilbert islanders
aboard. The reporter states that dur
ing the visit of the Montserrat to the
islands Ferguson deceived the island
ers as to the fate of their countrymen
on the Tahiti and told them they were
safely landed in Mexico and were en-
joying prosperity.
The account also states that of the
400 Gilbert islanders who were taken
to Guatemala two years ago under the
same conditions to work on planta-
tions there only 1856 are now alive, the
others having succumbed to fevers and
other diseases
