An unsigned Union newspaper page from Sullivan Indiana prints a heated 1892 political appeal urging voters to back Harrison and a Republican ticket. It attacks Cleveland supporters and labor costs, touts law enforcement and election integrity, and includes a local letter praising Mel Wyneley and warnings of Democrat ballot schemes.
Fragmentary report cites saloon keepers bragging of Sunday gains and holidays as their best days. The text accuses county officials and constables of winking at open violations of the sin and calls for reducing the democratic majority to improve order.
Next Thursday afternoon November 3 the Republicans will hold a rally at Sullivan. Hon Robt. P. Lincoln son of the Great War President will preside. Also Tran F E Callahan of Robinson Hue and Hiram Brownlee of Marion and Hon BL FP Pharness of Kokomo will attend. The country is invited to bring glee clubs and bands to hear the only living son of Abraham Lincoln.
The piece explains how Republicans should vote and instructs voters to stamp inside the eagle square only once to avoid spoiling a straight ticket. It notes that a spoiled ticket can be returned for a new one.
Comrades urge voters to choose Harrison over Cleveland in the national election. The letter warns the People's party is a trap backed by Cleveland's Southern allies and laments Weaver's restricted campaigning in the South while urging quiet, sincere voting at home. The text frames the election as a simple, decisive issue with little room for other concerns. It condemns party fragmentation and calls for solidarity among comrades.
In a tense civic appeal, veterans factions urge support for Harrison or Cleveland, tying war service to pension policy, public employment, and national debt. The National Tribune amplifies calls for veteran rights while Peter Cooper cites tariff wisdom and free trade warnings. A medical plug closes with Dr. Miles advocating heart health remedies.
The Sheffield Telegraph argues the McKinley tariff did not harm American industry or wages and aided some sectors while enabling exports. It cites Cobden Club views and defends Free Trade against predictions of crisis, claiming the tariff benefits even colonies and markets.
James G Blaine dismisses calls for free trade appealing to Irish voters. He argues solid protection support would unite Irish voters with America’s home market against England. He asserts Irish voters have the knowledge to reject policies favorable to foreign interests.
