Title A name given to the resource GERMAN-IOWAN NEWSPAPERS Document Translation Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound <p><strong>Die Deutschen für Cleveland</strong></p> <p><strong>Warum der Präsident der National-Brauer-Association nicht für Blaine stimmen will.<br /><br /></strong></p> <p>Hermann B. Scharmann, Präsident der National-Brauer-Association und ein sehr einflussreicher Republikaner der einundzwanzigsten Ward von Brooklyn, ist nunmehr herzhaft und umwunden für Cleveland und Hendricks aufgetreten. Als er darüber befragt wurde, wie er zu diesem Standpunkt gelangt sei, antwortete er:</p> <p>“Weil, nach meiner Ansicht und Meinung, seine Candidatur sehr viel mit der persönlichen Freiheit zu thun hat und mit der Unbeschränktheit vieler unserer besten Mitbürger in jeder Hinsicht. Die Republikaner verschiedener Staaten der Union, vornehmlich diejenigen von Kansas und Iowa, haben die Wohlthat der persönlichen Freiheit durch Prohibitionsgesetze auf’s Empfindlichst angegriffen und diesen Gesetzen muß ein Theil seine Unabhängigkeit zum Opfer bringen. Ich halte dafür, daß Niemand ein Recht hat, durch seine Abstimmung zu besagen, ob ich irgend ein alkoholhaltiges Getränk trinken muß oder nicht muß. Manche meiner republikanischen Freunde sagen zu mir: “Scharmann, diese Prohibitionsfrage ist ein Ding, welches die einzelnen Staaten allein angeht; der Präsident hat nichts damit zu thun.” Meine Antwort ist, daß der letzte Congreß, durch die Anstrengungen von Neal Dow, dem Vater der Prohibition, und durch Herrn Blair von New Hampshire eine Commission lediglich zu dem Zwecke ernannte, dem kommenden Congreß zu rapportiren, ob es, nach des Committee’s Ansicht, für die Regierung rathsam sein würde, darauf zu dringen, daß ein Prohibitions-Gesetz gegen den Verkauf und die Herstellung von alkoholhaltigen Getränken zu Stande komme.”</p> <p>“In welche Verbindung bringen Sie Herrn Blaine mit dieser Angelegenheit?”</p> <p>“Sie werden sich erinnern, daß gelegentlich der republikanischen National-Convention Herr Blaine die Unterstützung jedes Delegaten von Maine, Kansas und Iowa hatte, welche alle drei Prohibitionstaaten sind. Und Sie werden sich ferner erinnern, daß, als die Prohibitionisten Herrn Neal Dow angingen, sich um die Präsidentschafts-Candidatur zu bewerben, derselbe prompt antwortete: “Nein, ich werde für Blaine stimmen; der Mann ist mir genug Temperenzler für meine Stimme.”</p> <p>“Welcher Theil von deutschen Wählern stimmt wohl mit diesen Ihren Ansichten überein?” </p> <p>“Ich habe meine guten Gründe, anzunehmen, daß meine Ansichten durchaus die gleichen sind von einer überwiegend großen Mehrzahl des intelligenten deutschen stimmfähigen Elements, ohne Rücksicht auf deren politische Richtung. Aber ich habe noch andere Gründe, Hrn. Blaine zu opponiren. Da ist nämlich Nichts, was zu seinen Gunsten sprechen könnte in dem Faktum, daß die republikanische Partei ihn als ihren ‘geriebensten Politiker’-- merken Sie wohl auf, ich sage: ‘Politiker’-- dargestellt. Während der einundzwanzig Jahre oder mehr, welche er im Congreß gesessen, hat er kein Gesetz schaffen helfen, das dem Publikum Gutes gebracht hätte, und wo immer Blaine sich selbst eine Wohlthat erzeigen konnte, hat er auch sich selbst, als seinen besten Freund, nicht vergessen.”</p> <p>“In welchen Staaten wird die Opposition der Deutschen gegen Blaine sich wohl am stärksten zeigen nach Ihrer Ansicht?”</p> <p>“In den Staaten New York, Ohio, Illinois und Indiana und die Opposition in diesen Staaten wird voraussichtlich fatal für seine Candidatur werden.”</p> <p>“Darnach wäre also das Interesse der Brauer unseres Landes gegen Blaine gekehrt?”</p> <p>“Ich glaube, daß dies so sein wird. Doch bin ich als Präsident der Brauer-Association der Ver. Staaten nicht autorisirt, zu behaupten, daß die Brauer alle gegen Blaine seien, doch ich glaube, daß es die Mehrzahl ist. Mein Glaube gründet sich hauptsächlich auf die Meinungsäußerung derjenigen Männer. Welche in der gleichen Branche thätig sind, wie ich selbst.”</p> <p>“Was meinen Sie wohl, daß das wahrscheinliche Resultat in diesem Staate sein werde?”</p> “Ich glaube positiv, daß Herr Cleveland unseren Staat gewinnen wird, denn ich kenne eine große Anzahl meiner republikanischen Freunde, welche für den demokratischen Candidaten stimmen werden. Als ich zum ersten Male gestimmt habe, war es für Abraham Lincoln, und wenn ich nun für Cleveland stimme, dann wird dies das erste Mal sein, daß ich je für einen demokratischen Candidaten gestimmt habe. Ich bin ein Republikaner und gehöre demnach der Demokratie auch jetzt nicht an. Aber ich habe mich vom republikanischen General-Committee zurückgezogen, damit ich frei sei und frei handeln könne, ohne meine Pflichten als ein Mitglied, dieses Committee’s verletzen zu müssen.”<br /><br />[transcribed by Noah Hochstetler] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Scharmann; Grover Cleveland; James G. Blaine; Thomas A. Hendricks; Neal Dow Description An account of the resource <p><strong>Why the President of the National Brewers Association won't vote for Blaine</strong></p> <p>Hermann B. Scharmann, President of the National Brewers Association and a very influential Republican of the 21st Ward in Brooklyn, has as of now wholeheartedly declared his support for Cleveland and Hendricks. When asked as to how he had come to this point, he responded:</p> <p>Because, in my view and opinion, Cleveland's candidacy has very much to do with personal freedom as well as with the lack of restrictions in every respect for many of our best citizens. Republicans of various states, particularly those of Kansas and Iowa, have attacked the gift of personal liberty most injuriously with their Prohibition laws, and some citizens must sacrifice their liberty for these laws. I believe that no one should have the right, by way of his vote, to say whether I must or must not drink any type of alcoholic beverage. A few of my Republican friends say to me: Scharmann, this Prohibition question is something which concerns states on an individual basis; the President has nothing to do with it. My answer is that the last Congress, due to the efforts of Neal Dow, the father of Prohibition, and of Mr. Blair of New Hampshire, appointed a committee solely for the purpose of reporting to the next Congress whether, in the committee's view, it would be advisable for the government to press for a Prohibition law against the sale and production of alcoholic beverages.</p> <p><strong><em>What does this have to do with Mr. Blaine, in your opinion? </em></strong></p> <p>You will recall that during the Republican National Convention Herr Blaine had the support of every delegate from Maine, Kansas, and Iowa, all three of which are Prohibition states. And you will further recall that when the Prohibitionists were encouraging Mr. Neal Dow to run for the presidency, he promptly answered: No, I will vote for Blaine; the man is enough of a temperance advocate for my vote.</p> <p><strong><em>What portion of German voters agree with these views of yours? </em></strong></p> <p>I have many good reasons to assume that my views are the same as those of a vast majority of the thinking German electorate, regardless of their political allegiance. However, I have other reasons to oppose Mr. Blaine. There is namely nothing that can be said to his benefit in the fact that the Republican Party has portrayed him as their shrewdest politician. Note well that I say politician. During the twenty-one or more years that he has sat in Congress, he has not helped write a single law that did any good for the public, and wherever Blaine could do a good deed, he has never forgotten his best friend: himself.</p> <p><strong><em>In your opinion, which states will show the strongest German opposition against Blaine? </em></strong></p> <p>New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Indiana, and the opposition in these states will likely be fatal for his candidacy.</p> <p><strong><em>Hence the interest of our nation's brewers will also be against Blaine? </em></strong></p> <p>I believe it will be so. However, as president of the Brewers Association of the United States, I am not authorized to suggest that all brewers will be against Blaine, although I think the majority is. My belief is based principally on the opinions of those men who are involved in the same trade as myself.</p> <p><strong><em>What do you think the probable result in this state [New York?] will be? </em></strong></p> <p>I positively believe Mr. Cleveland will win our state because I know a great number of my Republican friends will vote for the Democratic candidate. When I voted for the first time I voted for Abraham Lincoln, and if I now vote for Cleveland it will be the first time ever that I voted for a Democratic candidate. I am a Republican and thus do not belong to the Democratic party even now. I have however stepped down from the Republican general committee, so that I might be free and able to conduct myself freely without having to neglect my duties as a member of this committee.</p> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ?
