Cleveland German Independents.

(From tuc N. \v York Wor' l.) Cleveland, Sept. 6 —The Independent German Club, wfiicli has j membership of 3,200, held a meeting here to night and ratified the Democratic ticket. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Mueller, a former Republican leader, made a long address, in which he said: Grover Cleve'and will use His best endeavors to bring nearer to a conclusion the solution of the labor problem: His modest resources prove that higher purposes in life have guided him than the acquisition of riches, and Blaine is here again Cleveland’s opposite. Who ever has heard it said of Blaine that he lias ever used one of his influential oositions in public life in thinking of or promoting the well being of the laboring masses; that he has ever utilized an opportunity or carried through a nieasure in order to better the lot of the laboring and producing people? He has better understood how to plunder them, as the jobbing business or his letters to ‘M y dear Air. Fisher’ show. Senator Blaine’s violent opposition to the ihurman Antimonopoly bill and his vote against this just measure is enough to brand him as A tool in the hands of the Pacific Kail mad monopolies. Indeed, hie Republican colleague, Senator Edmunds, publicly charged him in consequence of the - course he took on the Thurman bill with being the agent and attorney of Jay Gould.
