Republican ticket at every presidential cleo
tion since the party was organized. except u
1864, when was not able to go to the polls
Tho Republicans We're pledged TO q relrr
tion Of tho war tariff long before 1855 and lui
ing the campaign of that year the pledes wa
renewed with emphasis agnin and again. lu
stead OF keeping that promise the Aicklnle
bill was passed, imposing stil higher dutic-.
II was passed in tho interest of favor,
classes, and not for the benefit OF the who'd
people
It neither enhanced the price Of farm prod
ucts nor benefited labor. Wages are still and
ever will be regulated by supply and demand
Duties We're imposed upon somo articles -o
high as to destroy competition and foster trust
and monopolies / think you will agree with
me that this was an Abandonment of tho do,
The tarih is now the most important que.

future will depend upon the questions at ISSUE
Yours very truly W. @ GRESHAM
An Ovation 60 Cleveland.
The business men of New York who IA
vor the election of Grover Cleveland an
Adlai Il. Stevenson had their demonstu
tion last night, and a notable one it was
many respects. LenOx Lyceum was Oh
scene. The magnificent auditorium W.
crowded from platform tO door with a soil
mass of men and women, who stood 90
hours TO give vent TO their Democratic ei
thusiasm, There were six business men
clubs represented by full delegations IN
platform was occupied by $50 vice pres
dents, each one of whom is well known
the financial world
The immense audience throughout wa
made up almost entirely of business me
and their clerks and wives and daughter
It was somewhat difficult to estimate a.
number present, but there must have bee
fully 5000
The big attraction Of the meeting We.
the expected appearance and speech of 80
Cleveland When the portly presence
Mr.. Cleveland was recognized there wU
up a wild shout that shivered the cloctu
lights away up in the dome and was hear
in Central park. For nearly five minute
| it lasted, and during that time the Lyceuu
| presented a scene not common even in
| presidential campaign. The women i'm o.
boxes all around the hall stood up au
waved the Stars aud Stripes over the ra
and added their sopranos TO the bassos be
low Every one had a nag.
When quiet was restored Hon. j. El

! Mems Democratic association was namcn
as chairman Of the meeting Mr. Simmon.
| received three big cheers when he steppe
forth lie spoke briefly, after which lou
| list OF vice presidents and secretaries wa-
read.
! Resolutions were read and adopted rc
citing chat the assembly. rejecting th,
opinion of an CLASSES of business men in the
city OF New YORK, believe the Democrats
| party to be the champion Of honest money
just taxes and freedom of opinion; tina
hey heartily indorse the Chicago platfori
and pledge themselves TO the earnest sup
port of Cleveland and Stevenson.
Another big demonstration occurro,
! when Mr.. Cleveland arose. and Mr.. Sim
mons said, 81 have the honor to inroduc.
TO You our standard bearer, Grover Cleve
| land. When quiet was restored Nj
| Cleveland started in at once ON his speech
IN which he argued that the business I'm
tcrests Of the country were safer undo
| Democratic rule than under Republican
rule. He was interrupted at every othe
sentence by showers of applause, and whei
lac sat down somewhat unexpectedly som
one called for three cheers for Cleveland
They were given with will, and the'
three more
