GRoo says:
7 believe that the present tariff, which IS
1.-THE real fssue between the parties, puts IN
ltust burdens upon the farmer and laoorer,

aires and corporations. / am, determined
to be Just as active for GROVER CLESE-
LASD's election, and more so, than was
for HARRISON four years ago. L Deneve
that CLEvELAND's election will be Tor the
best interests of the masses.
In Indiana two ex-Republican attor-
ney generals of the state and a Repub-
lican speaker Of the house Of represen-
tatives, who was also chairman oftbeir
state committee, have declared for
CLEVELAND.
From Oregon we have this letter Of
Judge HARE, leading Republican, de-
clining the nomination as electoral
large. Judge HARE says to the State
committee of the operations OF the Re-
publican party that have Disguised
him:
You have passed high tariff, as you claim,
| for the protection of labor, yet within the
last six months l have seen more than $50
manufacturing establishments reduce the
| price of labor of the workingmen. You
| have expended 500, 600, 600 Of surplus LETT
| by Mr. Cleveland's administration, and
now there are seventy millions or more OF
| deficiency staring US in the face, which the
people must pay. The whole care OF the
Republican party seems to be to legislate
in favor of rich corporations at the expense
of the laboring poor Of thecountry. Permit
me TO decline the nomination and to extend
a challenge to any and all Republicans IN
the State. In the future | shall act IN OPP
position to the principles have supported
for the last thirty years.
Many changes are reported in Califor-
mia. Hon. CHARLES o. WETMoRE, a Re-
publican of high standing has declared
for CLEVELAND and will take the stump
in his behalf.
In Minnesota R. R. ODELL, of Mime
apolis, United States Commissioner and
a Republican leader, also, has deserted.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee received letter from him in which
he proffers his assistance to the commit
tee on the stump with the following In
terestisg remarks on the tariff:
81 have spent four months Of the past
twelve in Europe, and have come to the
conclusion that the Republican party is
building up greater Rristocracy than the
Southern slave owner ever dreamed of, and
it may take more than two billions Of
money and greater number of lives than
the civil war to wipe it out. If share of
the subsidy which the government gives
manufacturers only went to the laborer, :
then 1t would not be so glaring an outrage
1t is lie to attribute the material proaye'
ity, owing to the rapid growth. 'per-
country, to the fraud of an eYr OF new
"Place 30,000,000 of =" 4cesslve tarlH:
ground the size Of lfT$eople on spot Oh
would be less drSlnnesota, and there
would be as cS,sy emand for labor and III
case in EPJSol espondingly low as IS the
can getTi2iand. l believe the pooN man
the TN more favors and better Wages under
any Democratic idea of government than
- other, and that the Ills and wrongs OF
the people can be more quickly adjusted Dy
the Democratic party"
Mr.. MYER, Brooklyn's last Republl-
can candidate for Mayor, also joins the
procession and announces that he will
work and vote for CLEVELAND anu
STEVENSON.
To bring it nearer home, there is At
torney w. T. DIXON, of Martins Ferry,
who has heretofore been an active Re-
publican and now has taken the stump
for CLEVELAND.
And so it goes. The drift is all one
way. 1t is Cleveandward.
If there is this change of political
sentiment among prominent RepHbli-
cans all over the land what must the
extent of that change be among the
mass of the vOters
Harrisonism, McKinleyism and Bill
lion-dollarism' have disguised honest,
intelligent Republicans.
