svstem Buffalo Is crowded with protected manu-
factories and therefore Mr. Mahanys words have had
& great effect William Lantz leading Democrat

for Harrison and Reid because, as be said Protection
had enabled him TO build up his presen, marble anu
onyx business He also cited the high wages his hTih

sto,ements OF Mr. Lantz coming as they do from a
converted Democrat. have made great impression
upon the worhngpeopc Of Buffalo 1t may DE auuea
that the farmers OF Erie County attribute 'he'f
