thOrized to appoint committee of five

Hon. Washington Hesing, of Chicago;
Speaker Crafts. of the Illinois house of
representatives Hon. w. Goduy, of
Chicago; Hon. Lambert Tree, ex-minis-
ter 10 Russia, and others, who have
been appointed to endeavor to secure
the establishment of Western head
quarters of the national committee at
Chicago decided today that the execu-
tive committee, when appointed,
z WGaa to consider ,e proper srr o Teno1t
of the conditions and necessit-
ties in the West. The committee has
been by no means idle, however, but
has explained to eX-President Cleve-
land, Mr.. Whitney aud nearly all the
members of the committee individually
the objects to be attained by Western
headquarters.
During the eX-plesident's sojourn in
the parlors of the Fifth Avenue hotel
this afternoon the committee appeared
before him with Mr.. Hesing, of the Chi
cagO Stats Zeitung, an influential
Western German-American as spokes-
man: "lf we secure the establishment
of Western headquarters, Mr.. Cleve-
land" said Mr.. Hesing, lit will be of
! great assistance to US in carrying West
ern and Northwestern states. With

The German Vote

| are entirely different from the customs

East to be expended under the direction
| OF the main committee here, l doubt
whether that could be done.
If we have Western headquarters we
can conduct the campaign ourselves
without calling upon the national COM
mittee for any considerable aid. Every
where in the West the German vote is
the balance of power. Whenever the
German vote has left the Republican
| party those states have always gone
epublican-whether they went
| directly Democratic or not. They have
n OF gone over body and soul to the
De mocratic party in Illinois or Wiscon-
sin, but they are i'll opposition to the
| Republican party. This fall, with the
| school question still an issue, they are
| just as much against the Republican
| party as they were two years ago; and,
to be against the Repu blicans, means
| Democratic success.
The Lutheran Phalanx.
"There are in Illinois5O,0O0 German
Lutherans. Of that number Il, 900 have
always been Democrats, leaving $4,000
who have usually been Republicans. In
1890 at least $4,000 of that $4,000 voted
tor Mr.. Raab, the Democratic candidate
for superintendent of public instruc-
ton. and the result was that he was
elected by $4,000 majority. Two years
| prior to that Mr.. Harrison carried the
state by $4,000. Now, that same Ger
man vote which more than reversed that
and gave us success two years ago is
just as strong this time in favor of Mr..
Altgeld, our candidate for governor,
and you, too, Mr.. Cleveland, as it was
for Raab two years ago. You may con-
graduate yourself, Mr.. Cleveland, that
you stand wonderfully we'll with the
Germons."
II am glad to hear such good news
from YOU" said Cleveland smilingly.
ut is so," said Mr.. Hesing, There is
no American in the United States of ma
tlonal repute whe has stronger hold
upon the German people than you.
Now, of those $4,000 German Lutheran
voters, think there is no doubt $4,000
will vote for you. That makes change
of $4,000 votes and will give us major
ity of $1,000. There are great many
German Protestants who are not
Lutherans, but upon this question
they all are united So that
with proper organization. max
ing a campaign of education
by discussion and by lIterature-fOr you
cannot catch the Germans with fire
rockets and brass bands-there is no
question of Illinois of giving US from
10000 to 1900 Majority
