lnR the Democratic uoullnhtlou loI IcS- ldent of the United States Is as follows:
 To c. W. Villas. Chairman A. F. X D. F., Bestor and others, members Of the committee of the Demo cratic National Convention: Gentle men: have received your cOmmunlca- ton dated July 2Sth, 1884, informing me of my nomination for the office Ot President ot the Upited States by the National Democratic Convention lately assembled at Chicago. l accept the with grateful appreciation of the supreme honor conferred, and a solemn sense of the responsibility which in its acceptance l assume. l have considered the platform adopted by the convention and certainly approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and the principles upon which the party appeals to the suffrHges of the people, needs no supple ment or explanation. We probably call ours a government by the people, but It IS not such when class is tolerated which arrogates tO itself the manage ment of public affairs, seeking to con trol the people instead of representing them When the holders of the ballots Quickened by sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the sufTrages shall be altogether free and uncorrupted the full realization of a government by the peO- pie will be at hand, and of the means to this not one would m my judgment be more effective than an amendment to the constitution disqualifyIng the Presi- dent from reelection. We recognize m the eligibility of the President for re- election q most serious danger to that calm deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a gov ernment by the people. Our working men are not asking unreas 1nable terms, but as intelligent citizens they seek the same consideration which those demand who have other in- terests at stake. They should receive their full share of the care and attention of those who make and execute the laws, to the end that the woes and wants of the employers and employees should alike be subserved and the prosperity of the country, the common heritage of both, be advanced. We should not dis courage the emigration of those who come to acknowledge allegiance tO our government and add to our population. Yet, as a means of protection to our TOrkIngmen a different rule should pre- vail concerning those who, if they come or are brought tO our land and do not intend to become Americans, but will Inluriously compete with those Justly entitled to our labor. The commerce of nation tn great extent determines its supremacy. Cheap and easy trans pOrtatiOn should therefore be lOeral y fOstered within the limits of the con-ti tltion, and the general government should SO improve and protect its natu- rsl water ways as will enable the pro- ducers of the country to reach prctita- bls market. The selection and reten- ton O, sdbordinates m government employment should depend upon their ascert ined fitness and the nature of their work, and they should be neither expected nor allowed to do questlona- ble party work. IT I should be called to the chief magistracy of the nation by the sufFages of my fellow citizens, l will assume the duties Ot that high Of- fee with a solemn determination to dedicate every effort tO the country s good. and with an humble reliance upon the favor and support of the Supreme Being, who. believe, will always bless honest human eudeavor in a conscien tious discharge of public duty.
