~ CALLED UPON BY THEIR BROTHERS
TO VOTE FOR HARRISON."
Support of Mr. Cleveland, They Say, Is
Support of Everything Antagonistic to
Ireland—Some Interesting and Timely
Suggestions. > '
The efforts of the Democrats to win
for Mr. Cleveland and British free trade
the Irish-Aiiierican vote of this city Will
hardly be successful. The Irish-Amer-
icans have learned that a vote for Mr.
Cleveland means a vote Great Britain
and against the country which has been
so long oppressed and kept down by
British domination. In nearly every
election and in each assembly district
of New York city the Irish-Americans
have organized and have decided to cast
their votes against their most bitter
enemy. A committee composed of the
presidents of the assembly district or-
ganizations of these clubs has sent out the
following :i;'|pcal to their Irish-American
friends in this country:
To Irish Americans:
We appeal to your telligcnce and patriot-
ism. and ask your con deration of the follow.
ing undeniable facts aifectingthe welfare of
,our race and adopted country. and the golden
opportunity now afforded us of dealing our
enemy and oppressor. the British empire. a
deadly blow withourballots.
It is scarcely necessary to remind you that
the government and monopolies of England
and their bitter Tory organ. the London Times,
with the Cobden Free Trade club and their
allies in this country—Puck. The =‘Harper‘s,
New York Times, Evening Post. etc—are all
on the side of Grover Cleveland, advocating
and working for his election in England‘s in-
terest.
The Democratic convention which nomi-
nated Cleveland declared in its platform that
protection to American industries is uncon-
stitutional. This means, in other words, free
trade. which would give renewed vitality and
' encouragement to the crumbling industries of
England.
The diplomatic triumphs achieved by Minis-
ter Egan, which are» now matters of history.
and which recently drew from the secretary
of state, Hon. John \V. Foster, the statement
that “no other American minister in this gen-
eration has had so difficult a post to fill. and no
other American minister has acted with more-
tact, prudence and patriotism.” completely jus— '
tify President. Harrison in the noble and gen-
erous course he adopted. .
And it can be truly said that no successor of
Washington in the “Thin: House has elevated
the standard and pride of American citizen-
ship home and abroad more than has Presi-
dent arrison by his able, honest and patriotic
administration.
’ Irish-Americans. will you not uphold the
man who sustained the representative of your
race before the eyes of the whole world?
Never since Irishmen rallied around W'ash-
ington to establish this republic. and again in
defense of the Union from 1861 to 1865. has the,
occasion demanded that they should exhibit
their patriotism more actively. and therefore
every principle of honor. tradition and grati-
tude demands that they should stand by Harri-
son and the policy of the Republican party,
especially at the present time. when Joe Cham-
berlain is soliciting their votes for his idol.
Grover Cleveland.
We now ask you to note the bitter insult of-
fered to your race by Robert B. Roosevelt. Mr.
Cleveland’s minister to Holland and the treas-
urer of the Democratic national committee, in
his widely circulated book, “Is Five Acres
Enough?" “If the inhabitants of the Emerald
Isle did not lie. steal. cheat, rob and murder.
get drunk, perjure themselves, quarrel and ' ':
fight. they would be almost as good as people
of other nations.”
The appeal is signed by James Carey,
president of the Fifteenth Assembly
District club; Patrick Cunniam, presi-
dent of the Fifth Assembly District club;
Peter Bi-ereton, president Seventeenth
Assembly District club; Malachi J. Bran-
nigan, president Fourth Assembly Dis-
trict club; J. Bernard Brophy, president
Nineteenth Assembly District club; Wil~
liam F. Connor, president Eighteenth
Assembly District club; T. F. Lynch,
president Irish American Republican
club; E. G. Sullivan,,president First As-
sembly District club; Thomas McDer-
mott, president Third Assembly District
club; D. W. Coughlin, president Tenth
Assembly District club, and Hugh Cole-
man, president Thirteenth Assembly
District club.
The Republican party will win this
election if its voters do their duty. If
you neglect to do your duty the respon-
libllity will be with you.

READ HIS VIEWS ON THE COMING
ELECTION!!!
Sure It Will Be Favorable to Repub‘ic-'
ans—The People Don’t Want Wild-
cat Money or Free Trade—Satisfied
with the Present Prosperity.
[Special Correspondence.]
NEW YORK. Oct. 31.—Chairman Car-
ter, of the Republican national commit-
tee, was asked yesterday to give his
views of the political situation at this
final- stage of the campaign. He said:
“I have had no doubt, since the Demo-
cratic ticket was placed in the field, and
the Democratic platform adopted, of {the
complete triumph of President‘Hax-rison
and the policies of the Republican
party. Every serious voter is today
confronted with the question: ‘Why
should I vote for a change? And if a
change is desirable in any event, is such
a change as Mr. Cleveland and his party
proposes the right thing for me to vote
for? In answering the first question
the citizen must reflect upon the fact
that never before in the history of the
nation have its affairs and the private
concerns of the people been so widely
Business was
never before so great in volume or so
varied in character. Money was 'never
before so largely invested in productive
enterprises. Labor was never before so
fully or so remuneratively occupied.
Not a Workman Idle.
“It is substantially true to say that
nowhere in the United States can a.
skilled workman be found idle. Wages
have never been so generally high, and
never before has the purchasing power
of a dollar been so great. The man who
denies these things denies blindly. His
declarations run counter to almost every
man’s personal experience. The reports
of the census office show a marvelous in-
crease in all lines of production and in
the rate of wages paid employees in
every state in the Union without a soli-
tary exception.
Increased Wages.
“The report of Commissioner Peck,
the Democratic chief of the bureau of
labor statistics of the state of New
York, showing the increase in wages of
more than $6,000,000 for the year 1891
over the year 1890, can be substantially
duplicated everywhere. The report of
the Democratic superintendent of banks
and banking for the state of New York,
showing an increase of deposits in the
savings banks of the state for 1891 over
1890 of $3,000,000, is being rapidly fol-
lowed by similar reports from all other
such officials. The report of the senate
committee on prices, signed by both the
Republican and Democratic members
unanimously, showing notable reduc-
tions in the retail price of all classes of
manufactured goods, tallies with the ex-
perience of householders. These are in-
contestible facts. We say that they are
directly attributable to the operation of
Republican policies. Democrats may
deny this, while admitting the facts;
but if they do deny it they must at least
admit that this splendid condition of in-
dustry and trade is, at all events, con-
sistent with the operation of Republican
policies. Then Why change?
McKinley Law Successes.
“The McKinley bill has belied every
Democratic prediction. Mr. Carlisle in
the senate and Mr. Mills in the house
declared that it would increase the tax~
ation, but the revenues have been re-
duced over $60,000,000. They said it
would decrease the foreign trade and es-
pecially decrease exports. It has in-
creased the foreign trade over $200,000,-
000 a year and especially increased the
exports. They said that reciprocity
would be a failure; that no nation would
make treaties with us, but reciprocity
has been put into p ctical effect with
fifteen different nati ns, increasing our
exports in the sum of $80,000,000 or
about 22 per cent., at the same time giv~
ing us untaxed sugar, coffee, molasses
and hides, and lowering the price of.
sugar from eight to five cents a. pound.
They said it would fail to establish the
tin plate industry, but we have already
manufactured 18,473,019 pounds of tin
plate and 14,124,781 pounds have been
black plates, mined and rolled and man-
ufactured in the United States.
two companies are now actually engaged
in producing American tin plate and be-
fore the second year of' this industry is
completed two-thirds, and probably
three-fourths, of the entire consumption
of this country will be produced here.
In aword, the lie has been given to every
Democratic prediction as to the result of
the McKinley bill.
Then Why Change?
“How any man in his senses can wish
a change of policy when these are the
results of the policy that has been pur-
sued is more than I can understand.
But if such ‘a change is desirable from
any one’s point of view he must then
proceed to inquire whether the change
that the Democratic party proposes is.
the one to be adopted. The Democrats
in their platform, by a vote of 526 to
342, rekcted the tarifi plan on which
Mr. Cleveland was elected in 1884 and '
adopted instead a plank declaring all
duties levied to protect American wages
unconstitutional. The . Democratic plank
of 1884 was a struldle. It said that
duties should be levied for the purposes
of revenue only, but then said that
the Democratic policy did not intend
harm to the established industries, but
aimed rather to promote their healthy
growth. It acknowledged that there
was a great difierence between the
wages paid here and the wages paid
abroad, and said that it was wise to
make up in tariff ’tlie amOunt of that
difference. This meant protection if it
meant anything, and on that plank Mr.
Cleveland obtained office.
‘ Democratic Free Trade.
“That plank was rejected» in 1892 for
the very purpose, as the convention
said, of putting itself insperfect hamiony
with the views of its candidate, and the
plank ,adopted'frankly declared it to be
sfundamental policy; of the Democratic _
party that all duties levied for. any-other
V ”ray determine the result.

ing revenue are unconstitutional and .il-
legal. This means of course that the
whole protective system must be given
up; that we must raise our revenues on
noncompeting products. such as sugar,
tea and cofiee, and that competing manu-
factures from abroad must come in on
the free list. Is such a change as that
desirable?
Wildcat Currency Not Wanted. .
“The. second notable Democratic rec-‘
ommendation relates to finance. It pro-
poses to repeal the prohibitory 10 per
cent. tax on state bank issues. The re-
peal of- that tax would leave every state
free—as it was free forty years ago—to
make its own laws as to the issuing of
paper money. Money could be issued
on any security or no security at all, as
the states might determine. This system
was once in operation, and its result is
still remembered by old men and is
easily understood by young men. We
had in this country all kinds of banking
laws. Money of doubtful value was is-
sued by all kinds of institutions. Pieces
of paper stamped ‘dollars’ flooded the
country, their value constantly fluctu-
ating, and losses to the people amounted
every year by reason of discounts and
bank failures and counterfeits to at least
$50,000,000. .
“Little books were issued weekly.
called ‘Bank Note Detectors’ and ‘Bank
Note Reporters,’ descriptive of the coun-
terfeitmoney in circulation and of the
rates of discount on money more or less
good. And every man who received
bank notes at a store examined his bills
in the light of what was said by that
‘Bank Note Reporter,’ and performed an
active judgment on their valu'e. Mer-
chants used to deposit four or five times
a day in order to escape continually in-
creasing discounts. Is it desirable to ex-
change our present safe and trustworthy
currency. in which every dollar is of full
and equal value, in which the oppor-
tunity for counterfeiting is reduced to
the minimum, and in which every bank
note issued has behind it the full credit
of the United States, for such a. system
as this?
. No Change Desired.
“I cannot believe it. I am sure that
the thoughtful, sober judgment of the
American people is in favor of the Re-
publican party and its candidate.
be said. Everybody admits that he has
made a Wise, safe, discreet, patriotic,
resolute, honest executive. Everybody
knows that his administration has done
us credit abroad and good at home. I
am confident that he will be re-elected.
He will carry New York; he will carry
Indiana. The west will be for him un.
broken. There are seven chances out of
ten of his carrying Connecticut, and
certainly an even chance df his carry-
ing New Jersey. We will surely win."
DOLLARS OF OUR DADDIES.
Something About the Wildcat Money of
Early Days—A Word to Voters.
Nobody now thinks of scrutinizing a
bank note in doubt of its character or
value. The national currency is so uni-
form and so well protected from coun-
terfeiting that there is not the slightest
danger in accepting it promptly. It is
good in every state—yes, in every country
the world over. It is proposed to ex-
change this system for one in which the
public will have to examine every bill
offered, and only be able to determine»
by the aid of a “bank note detector”
whether it is good or bad. If the Demo-
orats come into power they propose to
substitute that kind of a system for our
national currency, now so satisfactory.
Their platform demands the repeal of
the national tax on state bank currency.
Of course if this shOnld be repealed the
state and private banks would begin to
flood the country with worthless notes,
just as they did before the war, and no-
body would know whether money of-
fered him was good or bad.
Do you remember what trouble there
was about paper money bofore the pres-
ent national currency was established?
If your memory does not run back that
far ask some friend wl.o had practical
business experience in those days.
Scarcely a. bank note went at par, and
the discount was from a fraction of 1
per cent. up to 20, 30 and 50 per cent.,
while notes in circulation representing
millions of dollars were absolutely
worthless. Money accepted as good one
day would be found absolutely worth-
less the next day. Banks suspended or
“broke" by thousands. In nine weeks,
in the year 1857, no less than 1,547 banks
failed, and millions of dollars of their
notes became absolutely worthless in
the pockets of the people who happened
to have them. Thompson’s Bank Note
Reporter, an authority on financial mat-
ters, in 1859 estimated the losses by
worthless bank notes, discounts, pre-
miums on exchange and counterfeit
notes at $13,000,000 per annum.
The most painful feature of this sys-
tem was in the fact that the losses al-
ways fell upon those least able to bear
them—the laboring people. Farmers.
mechanics, workmen and day laborers
were the men always fleeced by these
depreciated or worthless bills. They
could not carry constantly the latest \
issue of The Bank Note Detector. They
had no means of knowing whgther bills.
ofiered them were good or bad. The re-
sult was that the annual , losses of mil-
lions of money fell upon them. Many
men after weeks or months of honest
toil found that the money with which
they were paid was worthless, and they
were perhaps arrested for offering that
which they had accepted and offered in
good faith. '
This is the kind of money to which the
Democratic party, by the declarations of
its platform, proposes to return.
They will tell you that the state banks
which they propose to give the power to
\sue money are now safe and reliable.
This is not true. The losses by failures
of state banks in 1891 alone amounted‘to
more iii-that one year of general pros-
perity than the entire losses under na-
tionalbanks since they were etablished

Comrade Lees Has Jomed the
Greater Army. _
“Let Us Live in Peace and Harmony
Together” His Last Words.
Sunday afternoon about ~ 3.45
o’clock when the U. G. T. R. A. were
holding their afternoon meeting in
their hall on Washington street bridge,
South Norwalk; Mr. Henry D. Lees,
one of the staunchest advocates of tem-
perance, arose and proceeded to make
a few remarks. He had just uttered
the words "Let us live in Peace and
Harmony together.” when he suddenly
fell over backwards. Willing hands
quickly went to his assistance and doc-
tors were hastily summoned but before
their arrival Mr. Lees was ead.
Medical Examiner Burke was called
and pronounced death due to heart
disease after which the body was re-
moved to his home on Spring street.
Mr. Lees was a member of,Doug1ass
Fowler Post, G. A. R. and a former
commander of that 'post. He'came,
to South Norwalk from Westport
about fifteen years ago and was about
§8 years of age. He had many friends
in orwalk and was held in high es-
teem by those who knew him. The
funeral took place from his late
residence on Wednesday.
Election Return Blanks.
The blanks. for the use of the count-
ers and for the returns of moderators
of electors’ meetings have been received
by the Town Clerk.
There are thirty-one blanks difl'ering
more or less in form, onefo'r.the return
of votes for electors of president and
Vicepremdent; one for votes for each
state oflicer, congressman, state sena-
~ tor, judge of probate ; one for persons
declared elected representatives in the
general assembly ; one for justices of
the peace and a statement of vote.
The names of candidates for electors,
state officers and congressmen are print-
ed in the moderators’ returns and count-
ers’ blanks, each congressional district
having separate blanks.
.Where towns are divided into votina
districts each district is supplied with
.counters’ returns. Directions for mak-
ing returns in accordance with law are
printed on every blank and envelopes
aresent out with printed directions for
mailing as the law directs, one set of
returns immediately and the duplicates
in not less than five or more than ten
days.
. Vith the changes of form made pos-
mble by the omission of directions as to
form in the last revision of the stat-
utes, the moderators will be enabled to
make so complete a return that there
W111 be but little room for doubt as to
the number of legal ballots cast for
each candidate.
Every town clerk in the state has
been notified of the date of mailing the
blanks, and requested to inform the
secretary’s offi0e by telegraph if they
are not duly received.
There Wm Be Three Ballots.
In the November election this year
the voter may deposit three different
ballots, all in the envelope: One for
Presidental electors, Stnte officers,
etc.. one for Representatives and one
for justices of the peace.
As to the justices of the peace, each
party, under the law, has an equal
number unless there be an odd num-
ber. It is of no great consequenCe
whether the voter casts the justice of
the peace ballot, as the entire list of
half and half will be elected. Ballots
containing names for Presidential elec-
tors. Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
Secretary, Treasurer, Comptroller,
Representative in Congress. Senator
and Judge of Probate, will be 8 inches
long and 4+;- inches broad. Ballots for
Representatives will be two inches
long and 431 inches broad; for justices,
5 inches long and 4% inches broad.
Any voter may erase any name on his
ballot; or he may insert in place of any
name or any person in place of any
name on the printed ballot. If any
envelope or ballot shall contain any
mark or device, so that the same may
be identified who might have cast the
same, it shall not be counted, but
shall be returned to the town clerk b
the moderator. ~

A Narrow Escape.
Yesterday afternoon a four year old
child of Charles Valentine was playing
with some other children near its home
on Harbor avenue. A large pile of
leaves had been gathered and set on
re. While playing about the fire the
child’s dress became ignited and the
children screaming up the street. A
lady who happened to be passing,
caught the child at the risk of being
burned herself and rolled it in the
street until the flames were extinguish-.
ed. The child escaped with but few
burns and those not of a very serious
nature. But for the prompt action of
the child’s rescuer the chances are that
it would have received fatal burns.
