Thomas II. Garter, Chairman Re
publican Committee:
DEAR SIR Below | give the rea
sons why Wayne MacVeagh. Judge
Gresham, Governor j. d. Cox and
| desert Harrison and protection
and come out for noble Grover
Cleveland and free trade:
We are against Harrison because
he is an honest Christian; because
heis for temperance, and for twenty
years has been a Christian vestry-
man, and twice a day bows down in
family prayer.
We are against Harrison because
he drew his sword in '61, while
noble Grover Cleveland braveIy
staid at home and hired a su6sti-
tute, and paid him with the money
earned bv hanging criminals.
We are down on Harrison because
he did not desert the nation, as did
the noble Democratic party, with
secession in the Senate, theft in the
War Department. bankruptcy in
the Treasury, and treason in the
field.
We are Democrat.
We are against Harrison and the
Republican party because they freed
four mlllioI slaves in '63; because
they made them citizens and gave
them the right to vote for the nation
for which tey fought, and because
if these inf mous Republicans were
once in powS thev'd honestly count
these freedrAn's votes and stop a
noble Demdra from holding by
fraud the Prudential office.
We are a Rmocrat.
We are opptsed to Harrison and
protection be,ause the English
aristocracy hat them worse than
they hate ar tsh patriot, and be-
cause if Harris remains our Presi-
dent he will witch the tariff and
see that it pttects our working
men.
We are a Detocrat.
We are down lpn the Republican
party for sayingthe Republic when
seventeen Demo cratIc States trod
down our flag; dwn on the Repub-
llcan party for saughterlng 100,
, 600 free trade eebel Democrats,
and down on Litcoln, Grant and
Garfeld-yes, and Logan, Hale and
Conkling for mailing Esland give
up Mason and Slidtll, spit on that
rebel flag, and revesently cheer the
stars and stripes.
We are a Democrat.
We are down on Harrison because
he killed Mills English tariff bill
for lowering the wages of our
Northern workmen; down on him
because he says he'll keep the
Chinese out, and hold back ignor-
ant paspers coming in to oust our
high priced workmen of the North.
We are down on Harrison because
he will keep such Copperheads as
Thurman, AID Stevenson and Daniel
VOORHEES, out; because we love those
noble Democrats who, when we
were soldering, cursed old Abe
Lincoln and stabbed us in the back.
We are Democrat.
We are for Cleveland and free
trade because all our ex-secession-
lists are for them; because with free
trade our mills will stop and starry
ing European workmen will make
again our silk and tin, unless our
Yankee workmen work, like tn, m,
for pauper paw.
We are for Cleveland because he
kicked the Yankee soldiers, vetoed
600 penson bills and sent the Grip
pied veterans back to starve or fill
the Poor-house, and down on Har-
rison because he would not turn
his back on legless comrades with
arms shot off while holding up the
Stars and Stripes.
We are Democrat.
We are for Cleveland because
England wants him, and because
he favors building up great English
industries BY breaking down Ameri-
can manufacturers; because he
wants the Yankee workmen to live
on English pay, and because he
wants the ree-trade South to ship
direct from England and kill our
Yankee workmen in the North.
We are for Cleveland and free
trade because every rebel who shot
into oar flag IS for them. am a
Democrat for free trade and against
the Yankee worklngmen because
JEFF DAVIS was, and 80 are Beaure-
gard and every old slave driver of
the South.
We are Democrat.
Yes, we're down On HARRISON be-
cause he wants our honest silver
dollar good as gold, and because he
makes us pay high wages here at
home. when We could buy 40 cheap
