Representatives r of tbe Business dubs of this cijy wTcb advocate the election of Cleveland and Stevenson have issued an address to voters in which the principles involved in the McKinlev bill are roundly denounced as a Ions step backward in the direction of feudalism, and as leading to the cre ation ol a class of citizens protected bv the government from the operation of the natural laws against what a great maioritv of citizens have to cootsnd. The address alleges that the price paid for such a protection is fertile to the Republican party and a liberal con tribution of money for its perpetuity, and the charge is made that the alleged solicitude of the Republican party for the working men is not sincere, and in sup port of this statement figures are given which are intended to how that protection neither protects the laboring man, nor uids in the in dustrial development of the country.

Mr, Davis opened the discussion of the issues in good style and presented facts hard to gainsay. He was followed by Uncle rom in bis usual style which is nothing. After Uncle Tom got through Mr. Camp bell led off with sound Democratic logic and tells Uncle Tom he has missed bis calling; instead of being a candidate for State Senate be should belong to a cir ca, where bt could ride a horse both ways. Mr. Campbell finds Mr. Sht ok in tbe Third party issues, but he would not say whether he would or not vote that ticket.

A carpenter obeyed the command. On Sunday morning a crowd gatheied around the church. The Democrats in the crowd determined to cover Harri son's picture with that of Cleveland. Despite the protests ol nuinv. a man as cended to the perilous height, and soon placed the picture of the Democratic candidate over that ol Harrison. After much loud talking the excite ment increased bv a Republican attempt ing to climb up the scaffolding leading to the spire. He was pulled hack, and a fierce struggle began, in which manv prominent citizens joined. Suddenly the man broke away from the crowd and succeeded in vetting up out ol reach lie lore he could be pulled back. As he as cended and took down the Cleveland pic ture He was greeted with wild cheering from one faction and stones from the other. When another attempt was made by a Cleveland admirer to get up the steeple another right ensued. This was contin ued half way up the steeple, and the crowd below stood speechless, expecting to see someone fall. When at length the Cleveland picture hearer succrcded in Betting to the top the din below was deafening. Gen. Dt Peyster came out when the last picture had been nut in place. He was almost beside himsell vitu wrath, but in the how line mob his words were wasted. The Democrats remained around the church all day, and though several el forts were made to tear the picture down it remained there the rest of the day. In the evening tbe clergymen of the town deno-.it.ced the disgraceful affair from the pulpit. Gen.
