DEMOCRACY PLEOGzS
To Use Every Effort to Convict
And Send to The Peniten- 4
tiary every Sc -tudrel De
tected in Imitations
Chicago, Ojt. 20.—The follow
ing appeal and warning, addressed
“ I’o the American p.?op e.” was
given to the Southern Associated
Press tonight by Chairman Jones,
on behalf of the democratic na
liona! c< mm ttee: ' •
“In view of the fact that the
great corporations, with scarcely
■•. n exception, and many of the
laige employers of labor in the
United States are engaged ir. a
concerted effort to coerce their em
ployes into voting at the approach
ing election agai st their cwn con
victioi s. I de m it my duty to
call upon all those who believe in
the supremacy of the law and the
nn trammeled freedom of the in*-
dividual in 'he right of < xercising
iheba lot, to use their utmost ef
fort to prevent the success Qf this
piost flagrant ac’ of lawlessness;
for if this conspiracy succeeds
government by corporate ns will
h*ve succeeded government by the
people.
“The co.pora’ions which thus
appeal to fore' and fraud strike at
the very foundations of republican
g ivernmebt and the lovers of tree
institutions mustar use themselves
to save the coiyitn from its great
peril. Especially should the work
ingmen assert their manhood
rights. If they vote their convic
tions and in accordance with heir
interests the democratic ticket is
certain of election, and in . that
case the employing coiporations
will haue no desire ’o embark up
on a poiicv of punishment.
In the contest that is raging, the
Salvation of the worqngmen lies
in the assertion at the polls of his
right*? ;ie a free and indipend p nt
Aiilei'icaii cltizeb. The perpetra
tion of this at'empted outrage up
on the free suffrage, Will wor>f its
own cure. The indignant people,;
jealous of their .lights, will de
ni nd that the Ggislatures, state
and’national, shall proceed at once
by rigorous measures, to prevent
the possibility of a repetition of
such an attempts hereafter.
“The national committee, back
ed by the full power of the demo
cratic orgahiKaV ot ' in S ' nt °
of the union pledges iHelr that
e cry scoundrel, whether public
officer or private citizen, who is
detected in any violatu n of the
law, shall be vigorously prosecuted
and sen t to the penitentiary, it

Madrid, Oct. 20. Commenting
upon the statement contained in a
dispatch from Washingion that
President Cleveland intends to in
tervene in Cuba in a manner
tantamount.to the recognition of
the independence of tLe insur
gents, the linpireial declares th t
Spain ought to demand a full ex
planation of the Wallington gov
ernment.
j “She cannot biook t-uch a threat
j over her head,” con'inues the In -
parcial. “even for a single day. By
what right do the United States
define the time for Spain to settle
a question of her internal admin
istration? It must be affirmed by
‘ the who'e world that the Ameri
can Government cannot impose
any sort of terms ttpon us.”
After denouncing the United
States’ “fictional neutralitv,” the
Imparcial coi eludes as follows :
“The conduct of the United
States will arouse general indigna
tion. If Spain should remain alone
in a conflict with the United Stab s
Spaniards, by their own efforts,
woo d know how to mark the dif
ference be’ween ’he noble defen
ders of their property and the vile
traffickers at Washington. ”
