AN ADDRESS FROM THE DEVOCRATIC NATION AL COMMITTED, New York, Oct, 27.—~The following was made sublic to day : ADCRESS OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Heapquarress or tag Natioxar Deno. cratic Commirren, 11 West Twexry- vorra Street, October 16, 1884. —T0 the People of the United States: The result of last the alates of Ohio and West Virginia is be. fore you, Ohio chose republican electors in 1863 1872, 1876 and 1880. West Virginia chose republican presidential electors in 1878 and 1872 and democratic elect ors: 1876 and 1880. Garfield obtained a plurality ia Obioin 1880 of 34,227 votes The republican candidate in the late election for secretary of state was a gal- {aot soldier and a reputable man, The vote of the republican party in that election was broken down by the DEMOCRATIC the slections on Tuesday in { will be unable to do mischief, weight of Mr. Blaine, a factional seeker after the presidency. The people then | electel a democastic mijority of the i congressional delegation of the state. e may confidently expect a majority {days which are close at hind. in Ohio for Cleveland and Hendricks in November, decisive majority for its democratic gov. ernor at the October elsction already declared its purpose to give its elector al vote for our candidates in November. | The Blaine managers employed exira- ordinsry methods in both states. They expended not less than five hundred thousand dollars in O.io and more than one hundred thousand dollars in West Virginia, in their poli.ical work. They did not use money only, they called from every state the office holders best fitted to do the work at which they were pul. They crowded these two states with sach men. They employed in political Jobs the men engaged in the postal ser- vice of the United States. They left the veterans who had saved the life of the nation without the pay to which they were entitled under the pretense of Baving an insufficient clerical force in the pension buresa and used the com. missoner of pensions and a great nam- ber of his clerks as part of the politica] machinery in the late elections in Ohio and West Virginia. It has been open- ly charged without deniil that the pay- ment of veterns by the commissoner of pensions has been delayed by him with the purpose of coercing them lo vote for Mr, Blaine. The abuses of political power have been committed under the overlooking | eye of Mr. Blaine and with his full sane- tion. They show the manner in which if he were elected sub-officers would te subordinated to his service and the bounty of the country be made the means of advancing bis personal inter ests, They made the marshals of the Unit. od States and their deputies who ought to be the guardians of the rights of citi. ens of the United States, u part of their machine force. They armed them and incited them to violence and outrage, They expect 10 pay for the weapons and services of these men out of (he treasury of the United States, They mada Mr. Blaine one of their ¢ounty and ward workers in Ohio and West Virginia; and he entered with zost upon the familiar duty. They devised with i by the eorrupt influences sarroun ling Mr. Blsine and will reject him as a esn West Virginia has by it« splendid and } didute for president. i 3 als and armo | negr ies to drive voters The methods of thelr campaign in Ohio an | West Virginia and share of their candidate in those methods have added to the opprobrium already rest. ing upon his name assured hiv defeat at the general election in November. Mr. Blaine has been a member of the house of representatives, senator in congress and secratary of state of the United States. He has been accused of corruptly using his influence as speaker and as member of the house of representative for his individual profit. This misoon- duct has beee proved by his own letters These have confronted him wherever he has gone. He has attempted no expla - nation. The phrases of these letters sre 50 well known that they are by words on the streets and jests upon the stage. A speaker of the house of rep- resentative, a member of that house, who would barter his influence for money or property, might avail himself of larger opportunities, which the office and powers of the president afford. These are not words dictated by par. ty rancor, They sum up the judgment of that independent press, which is and always will remain the bulwark of goo and constitutional government. They express the convict'ons of the leiding republican journals and b lief of those distinguished republican statesmen and citizens whose love of country has forced them to declare that the nomination of Mr. Blaine was one aol fit to be mads There is r ason for confilence (hat we will schieve a victory in November, The srmy of offica holders engaged for a month pest in the manipu'ating votes in Ohio and West business of Virginia must now disband Each man of the number must go to his own place. The commissioner of pensions snl his buresu e*nirsted for political uses in the Nov, clerks cannot be on ember elections. When they are acting individually in their several states they The marshals of the United S'a‘es, by reason of the powers which they exercise, may again do harm in Novem. They ought to usnderstasd that for what they have done and for what ber. they may do, they will be heresfior held to the strictest scosunt by » justly indignant people, The hopes of a reward and the prom iss of indemnity which have bran held out to them, will not avail them in the The country is fully arousad.

The cretion in this favored land of such extremes of wealih and povery snd the evil divs which have overtaken all who are engaged in labor are not your fault.

You will aot be disappoinied.
