NEW YORK, Oct 9.--The following is Mir Cleveland's letter accepting the Democratic nomination for Governor
 BUFFALO. Oct. T. To Hon. Thomas c. E. Fcclesne, chairman etc.:
 Dear sir-I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter informing me "f my nomination for Goverr Syracuse. accept the nomination thus tendsred me and trust that while am gratefully sensible of the responsi .lites which it invites. The platform hearty approval. The doctrines therein enunciated dist nctLy and explicitly stated that their Run plifcation scarcely necessary If elected to the offics for which have been nominated I shall en- deavor to impress them up n my administration and make them the policy of the State.
 Our citizens for the par. attach themselves to one or the other of the great political parties, and nees of the party to which they fealty It is quite apparent that under such circumsta tances the such safeguards will secure absolutely un- controlled action. Here the people themselves are the machinery of government, and in this place should be f, u4d the manifestation of the popular will. When by fraud, intimidation other ques- tionable practice the voice of the people is here smother-d 8 direct blow is aimed d most precious tect If the primary cleo ion is uncontaminated and fairly conducted those there chosen to represent people will go forth with the impress of the peoples will upon them and the behehts and purposes of a and w aeens o .

The people have right to ae mand here as in cases of private employment, that service in return and that the appointment to and l tenure of such places should depend upon ability par tments paid the same compensation and re- quired to do the same amount of work those em- ployed in prudently conducted private establish. ments, the anxiety to hold these places would be much diminished. and it seems that the caus of civil service reform would be materially aided The custom of leyying assessments for partisan purp ses on those holding office place cam be too strongly condemned Through the thin disguise of voluntary contributions this is to be naked m a ghs h bauch the people and defeat the popular will
