the campaign having been about completed,
and there being nothing left for the man
ayers to do-unless, indeed. there Is in
cubating on one side or the other some
magnificent stroke of policy not to be
sprung until the last moment-the day for
proclamations has arrived, and both party
headquarters are giving out their claims
with confidence that will, perhaps, be
justified in one or the other by the result of
the election. So to come to the point, Chair
man Harrity has issued an address to the
American people on the situation.

of the machinery. The address then goes

remembering the high character and pub
lie services of Grover Cleveland, and know
ing that his election is a certain guarantee
