Show THE OLD OLD STORY L The Cry of Fraud Goes Up From I BepablicanSi A Virtual Admission That the Party I Efliscedj Horse Foot and Dragon A Pitiful Wall NEw YORh Nov OTha following address ad-dress was issued by the Republican Kailonal committees today To the Electors of the Country The day of election is at hund Tomorrow you will be called upon to determine by your j votes the most Important questions fairly and squarely presented to the country sinco 1861 You are to decide between a policy of progress and a policy of reaction In the country You are to say whether or = not the tariff schedules are to be so adjusted na to nrnlsn protection to labor and production pro-duction while raising revenue to sustain the government or whether such adjustment adjust-ment is admissaule because constitutional You aro to decide between tho policy of protection and free trade The party platforms plat-forms leave no doubt as to the position of 1 the respective parties on the tariff question ques-tion The Republican platform favors protection protec-tion to American labor and American products The Democratic platform def de-f dares such nolicv unconstitutional and t therefore commits the Demooracy of the nation to the British policy of free trade You are to pronounce for or against a reliable re-liable and stable financial structure built by the fathers and founders of the Republican Repub-lican party You are to say whether this pound policy is to be continued or abandoned I aban-doned in favor of the Democratic scheme for a resuscitation of state banks and wild cut By votes must currency your you say thi you do not desire to disturn the present prosperity of the country by involving in-volving our commerce manufactures agricultural interests and finances in doubt and uncertainity for an indefinite period The reelection of Harrison will insure toelecton Wl1insu 1 continuance of the splendid policy under 1 I which the nation has prospered in every branch of life His election will insure a r continuance of conndence in the policy of the government and will eliminate all questions of doubt as to the course to be pursued with reference to important government gov-ernment operations in the future The election of Cleveland would on the contrary I con-trary bring business to a standstill involve T in-volve every operatins industry in doubt and raise questions a to the effect unknown un-known legislation might have on tne economic econ-omic and financial policy of the government mentWe submit to the country that no cause exists for a change and that abundant I abun-dant reasons will recur to the mind of every loyal citizen to favor a continuance I of Republican policy and Republican administration ad-ministration This committee has conducted con-ducted the campaign on the issues presented pre-sented by the respective parties Our opponents have been driven to the necessity neces-sity of saying that their candidate is better than their platform and should be trusted not to execute iu declarations They would have the country believe that through their candidate they can procure tariff reforms re-forms while tUe party in convention assembled as-sembled declared itself absolutely in favor l of free trade The Democratic managers would have the country believe their nominee can be safely trusted to violate the pledges of his party in favor of the resurrection of state i banks In short tie Democracy of the country ties abdicated in favor of its candidate candi-date and its management hopes to win in this way by insisting that the party does r not support its platform but relies upon its I candidate to violate the platform thus t Lancing the prosperity of the country on the slender thread of a single human lfe t Our candidate and the party he represents are each in complete harmony with the f other and both candidates and arty stand I in harmony with the best interests of the republic Wo dodge no issue We do not ask I our candidate to aid us in catching votes jt by promising to violate or refuse to execute 6 any principle of party as announced in its 5 national platform The party nominated a candidate worthy of the confidence and respect r spect of every citizen whether he b Judged by his acts on the field of battle while defending the nations flag as 1 senator sen-ator in Congress or as chief magistrate It is gratifying to announce that the patriotic press of the country has to an unprecedented fc unpre-cedented extent supported our candidate f and our platform during this campaign Neither our campaign nor our cause has proven popular in England or Continental Europe The Democratic nominee and platform have mot with universal approval in avery country sealing to I rival us in the commercial world Not a S single newspaper in England or on the I Continent Uus spoken a kindly word for General Harrison or the Republican party Our policy does not justify it nor have we courted favor from champions of alienators This cannot be said of our political opponents oppon-ents u tt bile pleading poverty the Democratic national committee has been amply supplied sup-plied with funds intended to influence American citizens to vote 81linst their own Interests We are advised that these funds r have been chiefly contributed by foreigners who seek to break down the barrier bar-rier of protection to the end that they irny reap the profits on the various industries built up by protection This committee has used the meagre contribution i con-tribution given it by the people to fairly and honorably present to the country issues to be pasbed upon at the ballot box Our o opponents have relied upon the degrading and corrupt influences of money to be used on election day to induce peopie to abandon principles and interests and vote the Democratic L Dem-ocratic ticket For the purpose of covering this despicable despic-able scheme the Democratic press has substantially sub-stantially abandoned a discussion of issues t and their space has been devoted to continuous and wholly unjustified assertions as-sertions with reference to the supposed sup-posed enormous contributions to the Republican Re-publican national committee for the alleged purposo of carrying the election Driven to desperation well knowing that the commonsense common-sense body of the peoplo is arrayed againt their unrighteous cause the Democratic party has not only sent forth a false cry to cover up their tracks while undertaking to debauch voters but have likewise in this Btaie through lieutenants sought to incite evil disposed persons 1 employ insurrectionary insurrec-tionary methods for the purpose of pro venting officers of the law from guarding the ballot box as they are sworn to do for the purpose oT preventing fraud For the first time in the history of the Republic prominent officers in an Imperial state have endeavored t Incite citizens who have heretofore honored him by their confidence to violate the law for the purpose of secur ing partisan advantage We expect lawabiding citizens of the Empire state to resent this confidentially relying on your patriotism We rest with you the cause of the government policy of i reciprocity the financial system ol govern meut extension of our merchant marine and a Republican principle for a fair ballot and an honest count We appeal to every Republican every friend of protection every friend of fair trade every friend of honest money and every friend of universal univer-sal ticket suffrage 7 to support the Republican |
