Daily Democrat. HOW ORGANIZED LAIIOlt VOTKD. In another column we have 6hown that the threat of the wool growers of Ohio and California that ' thousands of votes would be lost to the democrats on account of its tariff views was an Idle one, for the republican majority in each of these states was reduced, and we propose now to show that the proposal to reduce the tariff had no effect in frightening the Intelligent or ganized laborers of the country. In no city in the Union is organized labor more intel ligent nor better versed in the economic questions of the day than in Indianapolis, the home of General Harrison. Here the questions pertaining to the tariff have been discussed with great assiduity among labor people. And here, notwithstanding the democratic vote which Mr. Harrison re ceived on the ground of state pride,yet the majority which Blaine received in Harri son's county, Marion, four years ago was entirely wiped out this vear,and Mr. Cleve land carried the county by nearly 400 ma jority. This same increase in the demo cratic vote in industrial centers is shown by the election returns all over the country. Philadelphia is a very bee-hive of indus trial avocations. Labor here, as in Indi anapolis, is intelligent,organized and well grounded in the economic questions that affect the interests of labor. But what proves to be a puzzle to republican leaders and manufacturers, these people voted largely for Mr. Cleveland and tariff reform, so much so that Blaine's majority in that city of 30,000 four years ago was reduced this year to 18,000. In New Jersey manu facturing is almost the exclusive occupation of the people.and the great body of the peo ple are wage earners. These people, like wise, are organized into labor unions in whose meetings all political questions af fecting their wellfare are intelligently dis cussed. Here Cleveland's 4,400 majority of four years ago was raised to 8,000 this year. In all the manufacturing towns of Massachusetts where the great body of the voters are labor people this same increase in the democratic vote is seen. In Lowell, one of the great cotton manufacturing towns of that state, Blaine's 1075 majority of four years ago is reduced to 408 for Har rison this year. In Lawrence.another cot ton manufacturing town, Blaine's 241 ma jority is wiped out and Cleveland given 226 majorltr. la Fall River Blaine's 960 ma jority is reduced to 49 for Harrison. In Holyoke Blaine's majority four years ago was 50. This year Cleveland has 651 ma jority. Worcester is an Iron manufactur ing town. Four years ago Blaine had 3429 majority. This year Harrison has 1997. North Brookfield , where boots and shoes are manufactured extensively, gave Blaine 84 majority; and now gives., Harrison 21 majority. In Marlboro Blaine had 155 ma jority, and ft now giyes Cleveland J40 ma jority. Woburn gave Cleveland 205 ma jority in 1884 and this year it gives him 269 majority. And thus we might continue to name town after town where labor peo ple constitute the great body of the people where the democrats ha7e made gains.thus showing that generally in all communities where labor is organized, these democrats fared well, while among unorganized labor people they fared badly. The inference to be drawn from a'.l this is, that where labor organizations exist in which," for several years past, the economic and wage prob lems have been thoroughly and intelligent ly discussed and well understood, there the democratic vote has been increased, while among unorganized laborers among whom the same special effort to understand the tariff and labor questions has not been made, there democrats have lost. While farmers, as a rule, would be most largely benefitted by a reduction of the tariff, they seem slowest to comprehend how they are burdened ith unnecessary taxation for the benefit of others, and hence have not re sponded to the call for revenue reform as they will before another presidential con test shall come on. Farmers are prover bially conservative and slow to move. This grows out of the Isolated character of their vocations. They.are not thrown to gether as labor people are, and hence have not the same opportunities to study the effects of the tariff upon their interests as do labor people.

A dispatch from Indianapolis says: "A movement is on foot among promi nent Democratic ex-soluiers in this State to withdraw from the Grand Armv of the Republic, and form an association com posed entirely of Democrats, the cause be ing the political character of the Grand Army during the last campaign." Leading dunocratic ex-soldiers of Indi ana, and members of the G. A. R. are openly charging that the organization w as openly used as a political engine In that state at tlie late election to promote the election of the republican ticket. The same charges are made in Illinois and else where. The charge in Illinois comes from no less a person than General John M, Palmer late democratic candidate for gov ernor and as brave and patriotic a soldier as ever shouldered a musket or buckled on a sword, After carefully watching the course ot the organization In that sta'.e he has deliberately resigned his members hip on account of the partisan character of Us work in the late campaign.
