New YORK, Nov. 5-Chairman Harrity
Of the Democratic national committee.
aud Chairman Dickinson of the Demo-
cratic campaign committee, have issued
an address 20 the American people on the
political situation. The address says:
Since 1905 less than 1000 men in this country
have been, boy means q. the individual or cor
porate wealth under their control, the masters
OF our tariff system. Their power has been
sufficient To enforce tho continuance and in-
cieaee,in time of IeaCc,Of taNcs on necessaries
OF life, originally imposed in n time of war,
only because Of the actual needs Of the gov
ernment.
Under the system OF war taxes thus contin-
ued, the conditions of life in this country
have essentially .changcd. The wealth which
under former laws was distributed among al
classes engaged ia inIustr al life, has centered
IN the hands of a few. You know that this
class controls and uses the government. Ii is
band of money men, combined for sordid
J. rposes and actually ruling the Republican
party. The federal olicehOdcrs are part of
Its machinery. Its method OF operation Is In
timidation of worklngmen and the corrupt
Use OF money. II succeeded In 1883 In defeat-
ing Grover Cleveland by such methods before
you became aware OF the danger. You are
not now ignorant of the peril.
You will bear in mind that you owe 10 tho
sew men who maintain the present corrupting
and iniquitous tariff the initiation and con-
tinuing threat of the force bill. President
Harrison Is in favor OF the easy method Of
carrying federal elections which that bill sup
plies.
You must, on the sfh day Of November,
make a choice which viii virtually affect the
Interests OF your country. We ask every one
OF you 10 labor without ceasing for the cleo
;ion of Grover Cleveland and Adlai L. Steven
son and for good government under a Demo-
cratic administration.
The Republican Side.
The following was issued last evening
by the Republican national committee.
The instructions Of acting Attorney General
Aldrich TO United States mar-hals and tho
citations from the law governing their eu-
ployment a. the polls, together with tie pen
slties prescribed for interference with them
while in the performance of their duties, have
brought CONSERVATION to the camp Of Tan-
many. II is the belief that with the proper
precautions which viii be taken, "a fair Cltt-
ton can he held in this city.
There has come TO the Republican national
committee rom various sources information
that the reserve crop OF campaign lies for is-
suing the da. before election is very prolific,
and unusually sen atloual articles are To be
published, presenting what pUrpCrts to he the
facts from all the western states, for puri!ca-
tion in the east, and the reverse for puolicl-
tiOn in the west, when too late TO be contra
dicted. Republicans all over the land should
be prepared for this line Of ton. BE on
your guard. Believe only that whth is con.
sonant with your common sense or eCcOmpan-
led bN unmp"achaDle testimony, and do not
change the conS ctiOn made by honest thought,
but vote ~ your conscience dictates and tr
you think 10 he right. You have the assur-
ance of this committee, based on reliable and
confidential information al over the couu-
try, that the nominees of the Republican
party will b, elected by constitutional ma
tority that shall Uc beyond question.
1ammany Asks for Protection.
The committee OF lawyers appointed by
Tammauy TO protect voters have sent
letter to Chief of Elections Davenport,
which is IN part as follows:
We understand that IL Is contemplated by
you TO make certain arrests of electors OF this
county for alleged Illegal regis ration. II has
frequently hap cned that you have Withheld
making arrests for Illegal registration until
election day, and, as we are informed, have
held the person 80 arrested until The election
was over, thereby causing the eleC,or % lose
his vote, even though entitled to cast il.
As you can just as well execute your war;
rants for Illegal registration now as on cleo
ton day. we have to request I hat you will forth-
with issue aud execute any warrants You may
intend 10 Is uc for ILLEGAL reyisi ration in order
that the eleCtur. Il entitled TO his discharge,
shall receive the same in time TO cast his vote.
The letter then quotes from opinions
by Judge iOdte ana justice BiatChtOrd
t. the effect that "wnere a man can be ar
rested before election day as we'll as not,
he ought o. bo 50 arrested. II there Is any
delay in arestiug him where he could
have been arrested before that day il must
b presumed - fe for the purpose Of pre-
venting him froll voting, and consequently
unlawful"
Blaine Campaign Outdone.
j. +. Suppee of Baltimore, who has
been speaking in New York and Brooklyn,
said at Republican headquarters that in
the twenty years he has been coming to
this city he has never seen so much in
terest taken Ia a presidential mpaiyn as
fn this one-nOt even in the Blaine cam
paign of 1885, The bankers, insurance
men, Wholesale dry goods dealers and
othtr classes ot business men are strongly
for Harrison, and this feeling even cx-
tends t. importers, who are satisfied that
the Mckinley act, contrary to their expcc-
tions, has caused them increase in their
business.
Depew's Opinion.
Chauncev VI. Depew has returned from
four days journey through New York
state. To United Press reporter he
said; From the changes that have taken
place, and the certainty of full R,pubi-
can vote, am confident that the Repub-
licans will come down to Harlem with a
majority OF something like 10000. Men
of both parties have talked with me
frankly. and have gave gathered my In
