ter for sweeping Republican victory.

GEN. +. Q. BEERS, of Elmira, n. Y, has
issued an open letter to the veterans of the
Union army. giving his reasons for decliu-
ing to support Cleveland. After reviewing
Mr.. Cleveland's war record. g eneral Beers
concludes: Il tave arrived at the age of
three-score years, was brought up in the
Democratic faith, and have been lifelong
Democrat. But it seems plain to me that,
with the past record of Grover Cleveland,
If any veteran casts his ballot for him he
not only stultities himself but goes back
upon every comrade of the Union army"
JOHN ALLEN. New York "'book- maker"
recently advertised that he had SIC
which he wanted to bet on even terms on
Mr.. Cleveland. A Texas ranch owner who

Allen up few days ago to make the bet
wi N i'm, mt vrar
to bet his 81 600 on Cleveland. He wanted

To an indignant denial of the report
that he would take the stump in the inter-
est of the Peoples party. Hon. John M.
Thurston. of Nebraska. adds these forcible
remarks: Il have always been in tho
habit of doing my political cussing before
the nominations were made, when the
course OF the party was not what thought
it ought to be, and after the nominations
have been made / am ALWAYS a Republican.
If have any crow to cat, buckle mp my
belt few notches and eat it quietly and in
private. The success OF the Republican
party to me is of much greater Importance
than the attainment of any personal de-
sires, either of myself or any body else"
Mr.. DAVID NJ. PARRY, of the Parry Manu-
featuring Company. of this city. said to .
reporter of the New York Press while in
that city few days ago. that while he is
in no sense identified with politics rs
manufacturer he is of course watching the
progress of political affairs in his State.
INV ohsarvafYon aaid Mr. Parry ssfeac hes
me that there are abundant Indications
which point to o larger vote from the la
boring people az the coming election for
tho Repu blican ticket than has ever been
seen in Indiana. There have sprunR mp In
our State more new industries within the
past four years than for tho ten years
previous. l Judge that at least fifteen
thousand more voters are to-day employed
in new workshops of the State than were
four years ago. The Mckinley law has GER
tainly stimulated industry in our State. L
believe this will truly be q campaign Of
education"
