CARTER AS A FUNNY MAN
he ISSUES a CIRCULAR THAT
SOUNDS LIKE BILL NYE.

An Assertion That the Democrats
While Pleading Poverty Have Been
Pientifully Supplied With Doodle
by Foreign Manufacturers - The
Republicans Scraping Along on
Meager Contributions From the
People.
NEw YORK. Nov. 6.-Chairman Carter
OF the republican national tcommittee has
issued a circular to the electors of the
country, bearing date Of Nov. Z, in which
he says
Tomorrow you will be called upon TO deter
mine by your vote the most important ques-
tons, fairly and squarely presented to the coun-
try, since 1861. You are to decide between the
policy OF progress and policy of reaction in
this country. You are to say whether or not
the tariff schedules are TO be so adjusted
as to furnish protection to the labor and pro-
ductlons of the country, while raising revenue
to sustain the government, or whether such
adjustment is inadmissibe because unconsti-
tutionaL You are to decide between the policy
OF protection and free trade. The party plat
forms leave no doubt as TO the position
OF the respective parties the tariff.
The republican platform favors protection to
american labor and American products. The
Democratic platform declares such policy uu-
constitutional, and therefore commits the
democracy OF the nation to the British policy OF
free trade
You are to pronounce for or against the re-
liable, stable financial structure built by the
fathers and founders of the Republican party.
You are to say whether this sound policy is to
be continued or abandoned in favor of the
democratic scheme for the resurrection Of state
banks and wild cat" currency.
The election of President Harrison will in
sure continuance of the splendid policy under
which the nation has prospered in every branch
q will "A
continuance of confidence in the policy Of the
government and eliminate all questions OF
doubt as to the course to be pursued with refer
ence to important government operations in
the future.
THE OLD CRY OF DISASTER.
The election Of Mr.. Cleveland would. on the
contrary, bring business 10 a standstll involv-
ing every operation in doubt, and raise ques-
tions as TO the effect unknown egislation might
have on the economic and financial policy Of
the government
We confidently submit to the country that
no cause exists for change, aud that abundant
reasons will occur to the mind of every loyal
citizen in favor of a continuance of the republi-
can policy andrepublCan administration
This committee has conducted the campaign
on the issues presented by the respective par
ties. Our opponents have been driven to the
necessity Of saying that their candidate is better
than their platform, and should be trusted not
to execute its declarations. They would have
the country believe that through their cRndi-
party in convention assembled declared itself
absolutely in favor of free trade
The democratic managers would have the
country believe that their nominee can be safely
trusted to violate the pledges of the party In
favor of the resurrection of the state banks
Our candidate and the party hs represents
are each in complete harmony with the other
and both candidate and party stand in harmony
with the best interests of the republic. We
dodge no issues; we do not ask our candidate
TO aid us In catching votes by promising to
violate or to refuse TO execute any
principle of the party announced in its national
platform. The party named candidate
worthy of the confidence and respect of every
citizen, whether he be judged by bis acts on the
field of battle, while defending the nation 9
flag. as a senator in congress or as a chief mag
istrate of the nation. II is gratifying TO an
nounce that the patriotic press OF the country
has, TO an unprecedented extent, supported our
candidate and our platform during this cam
pagn. Neither our candidate nor our cause
has proven popular in England or continental
Europe. The democratic nominee aud his plat
form have met with universal applause in every
country seeking to rival US in the commercial
world
THIS Is DECIDEDLY HUMOROUS.
While pleading poverty, the democratic ma
tlonal committee has been amply supplied with
funds Intended to influence American citizens to
vote against their own interests. We are ad-
vised that these funds have been chiefly con
tributed by foreigners, who seek to break down
the barriers OF protection TO the end that they
may reap profit on the ruins of industries and
interests, built up by the patriotic policy Of the
Republican party. This committee has used
the meager contributions given 1t by the people
to fairly and honOrably present to the country
the issues to be passed upon at the ballot box.
Our opponents have relied upon the degrading
and corrupting influence of money TO
be used on election day, to induce
the people to abandon their principles
and their interestsl and vote the democratic
ticket For the purpose OF covering this repre-
henslble scheme the democratic press has sub
stantialiy abandoned discussion of the issues
and their space has been devoted TO a contin-
uous and wholly unjustifed line of assertions
with reference to supposed enormous contri-
buttons to the republican national committee
for the alleged purpose Of carrying the election.
UNcITINa TO VIOLENCE.
Driven 10 desperate straits well knowing that
the common sense Of the body OF the people Is
arrayed against their unrighteOus cause, the
Democratic party has not only sent forth
false cry to cover their tracks while undertak-
ing TO debauch The voter, but they have like
wise, in this state, through the lieutenant gov
ernor, acting as chairman OF their committee.
sought TO incte evil-disposed persons to employ
insurrectionary methods for the purpose of
preventing officers OF the law on
election day from guarding the
ballot-box, az they are sworn TO do for the
purpose Of preventing fraud and intimidation
For the first time in the history OF the republic
prominent officer in an imperial state, has en-
deavorei to iuclte citizens, who have heretofore
honored him by their confidence. to violate the
law for the purpose of securing partisan ad-
vantage. We expect the law-abiding citizens
OF the empire state TO resent this reasonable
appeal Confidently relying on your patriotism
integrity and common sense, we rest with you
the cause Of objection, tho policy of recip-
rocity. the financial system OF government
extension OF our merchant marine and the
republican principle Of n free ballot and honest
count. We appeal to every republican. every
friend Of protection, every friend of fair trade,
every friend Of honest money and every friend
of universal suffrage to support the republican
ticket. THOMAS II. CARTER, Chairman,
