THE TRUE FAITH ExPoUNDED BY
GROVER CLEVELAND.

Never has great party, intent upon the pro-
motion of light and justice, had better incentive
for effort than is now presented tous. Turning
our eJ es to the plain people OF the land we see
, hem burdened as consumers with tariff sys-
EN- that unjustly and relentlessiy demands from
them, in The purchase of the necessaries and
comforts OF life an amount scarcely met by the
wages OF hard and stoady toll, while the exac
tions thus wruug from them build up and in
crease the fortunes oil those for whose benefit
the injustice is perpetuated.
We see the farmer listening to delusive story
that fills his mind with advantage, while his
pocket is robbed by the stealthy hand OF high
protection Our workingmen are still told the
tale, Oft repeated In spite of its demonstrated
falslty, that the existing protective tariff is a
boon to them, and that under its benefcent op-
Grafton theil wages must Unreasonable as
they listen scenes are enacted in the very abid-
ing place OF high protection, that mock the
hopes OF toll and attest the tender mercy the
workingman receives from those made selfish
and sordid by unjust governmental favors.
We oppose earnestly and stubbornly the the
DRY upon which our opponents seek to Justify
and uphold tariff laws.-Speech accepting Dem
ocratic nomination for President.

ground that the State which elected
Governor Boies may well vote for
Cleveland, as the issues now are the
same as when Boies was elected, while
Democratic theories have confessedly
made Roadway in the interval through
out the Northwest Adding the Is
votes of Iowa there are 81 electoral
votes. This claims nothing for the
Pacific Coast, although Californians
report that the eight votes of their
Commonwealth may be looked for By
the Cleyeland managers. Without
reckoning the three votes of Montana,
which the Democrats have carried and
may this year, the Democrats have at
least 800 probable votes out OF which
to secure the necessary 223 Presiden-
tial electors. II the current be with
him, as it certainly seems to be, Cleve-
lands majority in the Electoral Col
lege may be well up to the highest cal
culations.
GAS to the possibility Of failure Of
choice by the Electoral College and
consequent election by the House Of
Representatives, there are to be CON
sidered the four votes OF Colorado, the
four sure Weaver votes of Minnesota
the three of Iowa, the ten of Kansas
the eight of Nebraska, and the seven
in the Dakotas. Oregon, Nevada and
the State of Washington are also bat
tie grounds. 1t is believed by those
having access to special channels o
information that Harrison may LOST
twenty votes Of States heretofore Re
publican lying west of the Missouri
River.
Gall the probabilities strongly favo
the direct election of the Dsmocrati,
Presidential and Vice Presidential
nominees by vote of the Electoral Col
lege."

The reports from the Herald's CORE
who have been travelling
through the State studying the polit-
ical situation make it look little blue
for the Republicans.
The localities, visited have been
chiefly rural district, where the Re-
publicans always look for and have
hitherto received pluralitles to make
up the majority which they bring
down to the Harlem River. The general
tenor OF our correspondents reports,
like the one from the st. Lawrence
county publishing this morning, has
been rather uniavorable to the Repub-
leans. They indicate more than apa-
thy. They show discomfort and dis
satisfaction among farmers who have
always voted the Republican ticket
and who now complain OF the effects
OF the Mckinley law.
1t looks as il the Republican mana
gers will have to give close attention
to these districts If they expect tc
keep up their old time pluralitles Nor
can too much dependence be PLACED
on the potency Of money. Our CORE
spondents report that the Democrat
are alert, and tn n there is the NSecre
