THE most imposing and impressive
Cleveland meetings of the campaign,
says the Philadelphia Times, are held
daily and nightly by the thousands of
employes of Carnegie's steel works near
rittshurg. These demonstrations are not
called Cleveland mass-meetings; hut
when monopoly protection has made
Carnegie many times a millionaire, and
enables him to dictate from his baronial
castle in Scotland a reduction of from 10
to 40 per cent, in the wages of his work
ingmen, the employes are in daily and
nightly council to protect themselves,
while the agents of Carnegie are barri
cading his works. There are not many
speeches made, and those few do not
discuss tariff theories, but they do most
earnestly discuss a fearful condition that
confronts them, and every move they
make and every sentence they utter is a
death-blow aimed at the monopoly pro
tection that enriches the few and pau
perizes the many.
THE close connection the telegraph
makes between a people and a conven
tion was never better shown than on the
night of the Democratic convention.
The World bulletin, which was giving
reports of the meeting, flashed out the
words, "Watteraon rises to attack major
ity report on platform." Benjamin
Doblin, chairman of the executive com
mittee of the Democratic free trade
league of New York, was in the crowd
on the street. He sped to the Western
Union office with a telegram to Wattcr
son saying that 50,000 free trade New-
Yorkers were with him in his address
against protection. The wire to the
Chicago wigwam was cleared and before
AVatterson completed his remarks the
despatch was laid before him, read to
the convention and the free traders won
their great victory.
NOT all machines in politics are to he
dreaded. There surely is nothing to
fear from one recently tried in the
i.ockport, N. Y., election. It is a voting
machine, by which the voter, secure
from observation, registers bis choice by
pressing knobs. The pressing of the
knob representing one candidate for an
office locks that and all other knobs of
that class, and prevents the voter from
voting more than once, or for more than
one candidate. It is a secret ballot par
excellence, and ten minutes after the
polls were closed the clerks announced
the results as to the sixty-four candi
dates. The ordinary process of counting
would have consumed three hours.
MATT QUAY'S offer to wager SIO,OOO on
Harrison's election causes the New York
World to remark that Governor I'attison
should place a militia guard around our
state treasury. It is hardly possible
that the king of embezzlers would stoop
so low as to steal the paltry sum of
SIO,OOO. Matt's last raid upon the
public's money netted him $-100,000
clear, and that ought to satisfy him.
NEW YORK will yote for Cleveland.
The South will never waver. The hold
declaration of the platfarm on the tariff
will make Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Wisconsin, lowa and Michigan doubtful
states. Democratic principles always
win when the people are brought up to
tho issue and see where justice lies.
The people have a leader whom they
can follow everywhere.
WHILE Tammany may have done all
in its power to prevent Cleveland's nom
ination, yet the Democratic party may
thank the leaders of the New York
delegates that the second place on the
ticket is filled by Stevenson, instead of
Gray. The latter would have been a
heavy load to the party—in fact, almost
as great an obstacle to success as Reid
is to the Republicans.
TAMMANY IS IN LINE.
The Leaders Will Vote and Work for ,
Cleveland.
Some of Tammany Hall's prominent
men interviewed on the result:
Sheriff Gorman—l am satisfied the
candidate is a strong man.
Senator Martin T. McMahon—Mr.
Cleveland was my choice from the first.
Ho is the strongest who could have been
selected.
Deputy County Clerk Scully—We are
all Cleveland men now. Tammany will
support him loyally.
Mayor's Marshal Engelhard—My first
choice was Hill, hut I will heartily sup
port Mr. Cleveland. So will Tammany
Hall.
Deputy Commissioner Holalian—-Our
fighting is over. Mr. Cleveland has
won, and wo will Bupport him faithfully.
He will receive a larger vote in this
city than he did in 1884 or 1888.
Judge Martine—lf we are to win we
must take off onr coats. The fight is
going to he like that of 1888.
Judge Vau Wyek—We are all for
Cleveland now. I believe he has the
mass of the people with him. This city
gave him 12,000 more votes in 1888 than
It did in 1884. It will go that 15,000
better in 1892.
Coroner Levy—lt's an excellent nom
ination. Mr. Cleveland is a very popu
lar man.
Commissioner Brenuan Cleveland
will he the next president. With all
differences healed and a united Democ
racy he will carry the state easily.
Acting Mayor Arnold—lt is my opin
ion that we could carry the state with
any good Democrat. I am sure we can
do it with Cleveland. Tammany Hall
will give him loyal support.
President Wilson, of the board of
health and Consolidated exchange—l am
most favorably impressed with the nom
ination and am sure that the members
of the Consolidated exchange will do
good work in the campaign.
Judge Bisohoff—l am well pleased.
Mr. Cleveland will receive the support
of the Germans, who are for him re
gardless of party.
City Chamberlain Crain, who sent a
congratulatory telegram to the nominee,
said that Tammany will give the ticket
loyal support and that it will not only
win in New York, but in the nation.
Comptroller Myers characterized the
nomination as "magnificent" and "most
desired." Tho platform, he said, was
sound and would sweep the country.
Mr. Cleveland's plurality in New York
state, he predicted, will lie 50,000.
Superintendent of Market John A.
Sullivan (formerly collector of internal
revenue) —Mr. Cleveland's hold on the
people is remarkable. He is a wonder
ful man and I feel sure he will be
elected.
School Commissioner Miles O'Brien—
I wanted Hill, bnt I'll vote for the can
didate of the majority.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Ster
ling—l favored Mr. Cleveland's nomina
tion from the start.
Chief Clerk Henriques, of the market
bureau—lt suits me perfectly.
Senator Amasa J. Parker, of Albany—
The Democrats of Albany are enthusi
astic over Cleveland's nomination.
Smith M. Weed, of Plattsburg—l'm
well satisfied with the ticket and have
no doubt it will carry New York state
all right.—New York Sun.
ArkuitHUH' Next Governor.
William Meade Fishback will be the
next governor of Arkansas if bo lives,
for he has been nominated for that posi
tion by the Democrats of that state. Mr.
Fishback is sixty-one years of age and is
a native of Virginia. After graduating
from the University of Virginia ho read
law and in 1858 located in Arkansas.
Thero he has lived ever since.
W. M. FISHBACK.
Mr. Fishback has served in his state
legislature with distinction and was
also a member of the constitutional con
vention of 1874. When he went to Ar
kansas ho was strongly opposed to se
cession. He was elected to the United
States senate in 1864, hut ho Apposed the
reconstruction measures and has been
an ardent Democrat ever since.
Senator Hill IH NO Traitor.
It Is announced that the Elmira Ga
zette, "Senator Hill's home organ," sup
ports the nominees of the Chicago con
vention. What other action could reason
ably have been expected? As The World
said on the 10th of June: "Senator Hill
lias never yet opposed or betrayed a
Democratic ticket, nor given one a
merely lukewarm support. Ha is not
likely to begin this year, when so much
is at stake both for his party and for
him."—New York World.
A Patriotic Candidate.
The patriotic action of the Chicago
convention in unanimously nominating
Grover Cleveland for president will be
commended and ratified by the Demo
cratic and conservative element of the
country.—Hudson (N. Y.) Register.
Cleveland Stand, for Principles.
Cleveland stands for the bone and
sinew of the party and for its principles
that have best commended themselves
to the conptry.'-Richmond State.
NO SULKING IN NEW "YORK." j
David B. Hill I'lcdges the Vote of the
State to the Nominee.
"I pledge the electoral vote of the state
of New York to the nominee of the na- l
tional Democratic convention," said
David B. Hill in one of his many stirring
speeches to the Demoorats of other,
states. There will he no sulking over
the result at Chicago among the men ,
who stood by the senator from New
York with such loyalty and determina
tion.
A two-thirds vote of the national
Democratic convention is obligatory and I
will be ratified at the ballot box by loyal j
Democrats everywhere, and especially
in the state of New York. If our candi
date had been nominated by that con
vention we should have expected the de
feated friends of other candidates to
give him their support, and now that
we are defeated wo are bound in honor
to do the same. The Democrats of New
York will do their full measure of duty.
Behoving as we do that the result of
the presidential election will depend
upon the vote of this state, we are the
more urgently bound to see that no ef
fort is spared to win the thirty-six elec
toral votes of New York for the nomi
nees of the Chicago convention.—Al
bany Times-Union.
Mr. Murphy made a square, stand up
fight for Benator Hill, but he bows
cheerfully to the sentiment which over
rides that candidate along with all
other favorite sous. He is as strong and
single hearted in his devotion to Cleve
land's election today as he was to Hill's
nomination last week. Already word
line been givon by Chairman Murphy to
liis trusty friends and followers that in
■the election of Cleveland Troy and
Rensselaer county must do their full
duty. He is coming home to take off
his coat and work for Grovcr Cleve
land.—Troy Press.
Mr. Hill and his friends will submit
to the decision of the convention with
good grace, as in duty bound, and it
will not be their fault if Grovcr Cleve
land does not receive the thirty-six elec
toral votes of New York by a large ma
jority.—Rochester Union and Adver
tiser.
A Mulne Gubernatorial Candidate.
Charles F. Johnson, whom the Demo
crats of Maine have nominated for gover
nor, is another of the young men who
have become prominent in politics. He is
but thirty-three pTj-jr
years of age. He
an ex-school £29
teacher. Hegrad
for several years
lives. His most c. F. JOHNSON.
important offices have been those of city
clerk and city solicitor of Waterville.
Mr. Johnson is a fine'campaigner and
the Democrats expect that he will make
groat inroads upon tho large Republican
majority in the approaching election.
The Force 1111 l President-
Benjamin Harrison will go down in
history as the force bill president.
After the Republicans had been
wrecked in tho oongressional campaign
of 1890, the one voice which called tliera
back to order was that of Harrison, with
the force bill as his theme.
Lamentable as the fact may he, the
issue of the presidential election of 1892,
forced upon us by Harrison's renomina
tlon, is the upheaval of the social fabric
of the south through tho agency of the
force bill.
The nominee of the Chicago conven
tion must he loyally supported by every
Democrat. The south has too much at
stake for local bickerings to endanger.
The New York Democracy has always
been loyal, and in this hour of supreme
need it is called upon to remain loyal.—
Atlanta Constitution.
Ail Inspiring Nomination.
Grover Cleveland's nomination for the
presidency has been received with a
heartiness that will carry it to victory
at the polls in November. It is sus
tained not only by the unanimous voice
of the Democracy, but in every state it
is hailed by tens of thousands of Repub
licans and independents weary of class
and section legislation, and disgusted
with Republican sham, hypocrisy and
corruption.
It is an inspiring, quickening nomina
tion, and the young men of the country
to whom tho future belongs will see
that It develops into an election in No
vember.—New York Journal.
11111 Will Help Him.
Mr. Cleveland, now more than ever
before, needs the faithful, generous
service of his old official associate. Mr.
Hill is in a position where a due and
wise regard for liis own political future
will prompt him to render this service.
His statesmanship, his Democracy will
move him in the same direction with
his self interest. —New York Telegram.
An Expensive Combination.
I hereby submit the following as an
appropriate way for the Republicans to
put the names of their presidential nom
inees upon their banners:
HARRISON A T>KID
AT & HAT.
—"Skat" in New York World.
Nothing to Fear.
With a candidate who is in himself a
| fortress of strength, and a popular cause
j upon which it can appeal to a country
j already enlightened, the Democracy has
! nothing to fear. —New York Time*.
An Expensive Administration.
Is it worth $2,(X)0,000,000 to have four
years moro of Harrison rule and Mo-
Kinley taxes?— New York World.
The People Will Dump Held.
The trouble is not Iwtween Reid and
the printers. The people are at the
"djimp" now.—tQqlumbus Post.
THE LESSONS OF '76
BY JUNIUS HENRI BROWNE.
Middle aged men must remember how
very different the celebration of the
Fourth of July was during their boy
hood from what it is in these days.
Everything of courso seeins tame after
maturity in contrast with its seeming in
Bur early teens.
The civil war, with its torrible tension,
Solicitude, agitation, uncertainty, made
the youngest of us feel old.
But, apart from age and event, the
Fourth has in its observance long ceased
to bo what it was before the war. That
great strife naturally dwarfed the minor
but not less heroio struggle of tho last
century and rendered us comparatively
Indifferent to its commemoration. We
should still remember, however, that
our independence was won by trials, by
hardships, by unflinching fortitude, to
which in our later abundance and pros
perity we were necessarily strangers.
In this generation we can scarcely
realize, so altered are our surroundings,
what our forefathers endured, suffered
and dared, as colonists, in taking up
arms against the exactions and oppres
sions of tho mother country —one of tho
strongest governments and groatest pow
ers of the Old World. They did not
hesitate to oppose regular, disciplined
soldiers, who had fought on many fields,
with raw recruits, having no other weap
ons than such as thoy could got in an
emergency, and no other hope than that
inspired by love of freedom, and the
j resolution to resist tyranny to tho doatli.
j Those were indeed the times to test
courage and patriotism, and the hardy
colonists uover winced or faltered.
It Is pleasant to recall the ringing
words of Patrick Henry at the begin
ning of the troubles, when ho declared
at the old Continental congress in Phila
delphia, in 1774: "Britishoppression has
effaced the boundaries of the colonies.
] Tho distinctions between Virginians,
Now Yorkers, Pennsylvanians and New
Englanders are no more. I am not a Vir
j ginian; lam an American!" The seven
1 arduous, often desperate, years of the
Revolution, in which we were so gener
ously aided by the French, proved the
6tuff we were made of. A1 ways without
money, often without food or clothing
or any proper equipment for war, Wash
ington sustained defeat after defeat with
equanimity and unfailing courage, and
won his cause at last at Yorktown. De
feat and disaster never diminished his
faith in ultimate triumph or dampened
his excessive ardor. Within three
months, during 1780, two American
armies, numerous for that day, were
destroyed, and tho most formidable of
the partisan bands in the south, under
| Sumtor, was dispersed by Tarleton.
Nevertheless a detachment from Corn
wallis' forces was wholly defeated in
North Carolina, at King's mountain, by
000 of our militia, and 1,100 of theenomy
were killed, wounded and captured.
Thus failure and success alternated until
the final and complete victory gained by
tho surrender of Cornwallis, with more
than 8,000 men, including sailors.
Our troops raised during the Revolu
tion numbered some 230,000 Continental
soldiers and 56,000 militia. How small
this force seems, compared with tho
grand armies the north and south mar
shaled in 1801-5; how insignificant the
cost of life and treasure then to the esti
mate in tho luter struggle, of a loss of a
million of men and more than a billion
of money. But in the civil war the
Union was immensely rich; it had un
limited credit; we were provided with
every martial requirement. In 1770-88
the gallant patriots marched often over
frozen roods with shoeless and bleeding
feet; fought while half famished and
half clad; left their plows in the furrow;
quitted the harvest with scythes in their
hands to give their lives, if need be, for
independence. They were intrepid sons
of intrepid sires; thoy woro genuine grit,
of unconquorable stock.
Too much houor cannot be paid them.
Wo, their descendants, should always
keep their memory green. Their ex
ample should nover be permitted to
grow dim. Wo should not allow the
celebration of tho glorious Fourth to
languish. We owe it to them to keep it up
as wo did in the earlior days, when we
were boys. Wo are boys now, though
1 of an older sort; we should be boys in
our enthusiasm and rejoicing over the
immortal day that disclosed the Bpirit of
1770, commemorative of the stern pe
riod that put us to the proof, that tried
us by firo in the crucible of adversity
and brought us out pure gold.
Let us obsorvo tho Fourth as afore
time, with bonfires and illuminations,
with musio and cannon, with tiroworks
and reading the Declaration, with large
assemblies and patriotic spocchos, with
every form of sympathy and demon
stration belonging to the day and de
serving of ourselves.
A Gem from Webster,
j America has proved that it is prac
ticable to elevate mankind—that portion
which, in Europe, is called the laboring
or lower class—to raise them to self
respect, to make them competent to act
a part in the great right and great duty
of self government; and she has proved
that this may be done by education and
tho effusion of knowledge. She holds
out an example, a thousand times more
encouraging than over was presented
I before, to those nine-tenths of the
human race who aro born without he
| reditary fortune or hereditary rank.
