Cleveland Union of Now York to their
Fellow Citlzens Throughout the United

New YORK, Aug. 22.--The Ger
man. American Cleveland Union has is.
sued an address. signed bay Carl Schurz,
! Oswald Ottendorfor, VIM Stcinway,
Henry Willard, Louis WinLmuller aud
Gustavc II. Schwab. The address
gives reasons why the signers think
Cleveland deserves the votes of natura-
lized Germans. 1t says:
"Above all we wish to state that he
Is Thoroughly honest man, which fact
| even his most bitter foes do not dare to
dispute. No one ever attempted to
create the slightest suspicion in this res-
pcct. When he returned to private lie
alter ,vlng held the highest position in
this country his name WAS as unsullud
"a that of Washington. Among his
most marked characteristics arc his un-
tauntcd courage aud his adherence to
his convlcLlcns. In his career as Cover
nor Of the State Of New York aud as
President OF the United States he de-
monstratcd in the most impressive man-
ncr that in this respect he is second to
no other historical character or this couu-
try. AS the bearer OF executive power
he invariably subordinated party inter.
csts to the common welfare. He never
bcsltales TO solve the most important
questions according to his own unbiased
conviction, resisting all pressure from
other members OF his own patty. GA
several occasions, seem! his party in
danger OF being mlsled, he successfully
and untlinchingly withstood their pres.
sure without considering the opp)siL>n
OF party leaders. Wcnced only refer to
tho lirmDess with which, uotwithstaud-
ing the strong tendency OF his party in
the South and the far West to brins
about unlimitcd coinage of silver, he
warned them Of the dangers liable To
arise from such policy. His inaats
sense of duty can not be better provcn
than by the tact that during his almjus.
tratlon rs well as during his sec Jnd can.
dldacY he never was Il favorite with the
machine politicians, who Sc ann was their
own welfare.
! ''GrOvcr Cleveland also disLngL she j
himself by more than an ordinary meas,
ure OF political sagaciLY and statesman
| like foresight. IL is not only by his de-
tcrmined stand on the silver quest )n
that he has shown hlm SELF 10 b. good
exponent Of these qualities, but by his
highly credtable treatment of the tarll
he forever secured Tor himself one OF
the most conspicuous places in the his.
tory OF the Republic. lie kccnly recog-
nized III the protective tariff system
fostercd by Republicans for many years,
with the tendency of lcvying more oI..
presslvc duties steadily growing, an evil
that needed immediate and strong rcme-
dies, and he tcarlessly expressed his
views in his celebrated message to Con-
grcss. IL was inscribed on the banner
under which his whole party was united
and lel TO glorious victory. There is no
doubt that by following the same ban.
ncr ii will win another victory at the
end OF The present campaign, and there
fore, we earnestly beseech our fellow
citizens tosald us in securing the election
OF Grover Cleveland, the independent,
lar.slGhtcd statesman, true patriot, hon
est, courageous man.
1--WE expect the hearty cooperation
OF Gcrmnn- Americans, the more 30 as
we a;c convinced they particularly
should favor his candidacy as the true
and immediate expression Of the will OF
The people, which at Chicago triumphant
~ prevailed over all party usage not
wilhstandinng oppOeitlon from delegates
from his own State as we'll as politicians
IN general. We do not hesitate to
make tins appeal to our countrymen, as
tho platform OF the democratic party is
entirely satisfactory in regard to the
main questions. 1t calls for civil SER
wee reform, it advocates that gold, sill.
yer and paper money be placed on all
absolutely equal basis. and that the
obnoxious so-called Sherman law be re-
pcalcd. 1T aims at the reformation of
The existing protective system, that only
tends to enrich the owners of industrial
establishments and lmpoverish the mas
scs OF the people, and strives to re-esta-
bhsh the good principle Of Inning the
amount OF duties levied to the actual
requirements of the Government.
