CLEVELAND AND REFORM.

The Baptist Examiner, the leading
Journal OF that denomination In the
United States, has this judgment OF the
Democratic candidate for President:
Governor Cleveland Ia now In the sec.
0nd year OF his chief magistracy OF the
State OF New York, and II IL not doing
too much 10 place him In the front rank
OF the best Governors the Empire State
has ever had. As General Bragg said In
the Chicago Convention, his best COM
mendati0n In the character OF the enc
niles he has made. He has proved him
self TO be II State chief magistrate who
has placed principles above party. Hav'
ing done everything well he has under
taken 10 do, there Is the best reason Il
believe that II elected TO the Presidency
OF the United States he will again prove
himself TO be equal TO itg high and re'
spOnslble duties, He has said, what few
men could say who have received the
national nomination for It's highest Of
flee, that IL Is an honor which he has
never sought.
And the New York Independent, The
religious paper OF largest circulation In
the country, talks this way Of Cleveland
as q rGt0rmer:
There Is no use In denying that the
Cleveland campaign means reform. Thai
IL the one word for the moment that haE
thunder In II, and the Cleveland men
have uttered II. He himself represents
II, and great deal more OF II than wat
put into the platform he was nominated
on, though there Ia enough Of II In thai
platform to blow the Democratic party
10 pieces and compel reconstruction
This IL the logic Of the Republicans who
support him. They see that their own
party chose political power and plundeI
for Its cohesive principle.

against him. Not one Of these yet0es or
oil OF them put together show the least
lack OF cordial sympathy on his part
with the cause and interests OF work

grounds, was not intended TO secure

drivers aud conductors on horse cars

man." On the contrary II would have
operated against the welfare OF the very
men for whose benefit II was. with
amazing shortsightedneas, pretended TO
have been brought forward A reduc-
tiOn OF hours would have inevitably been
attended with corresponding reduc-
tion Of the already scanty wages. The

very good reasons, which had no bear.

laborers, and laborers are ~ we'll of

The Herald has not been In accord
with Governor Cleveland on all of the
measures which we have here cited. But
his course shows that he has been q

w0rklngman and completely disposes OF

made by hi3 opponents for obvious pO-
litlcal purposes,-L New York Herald,

CLEVELAND AND THE LABOR CUES.
TION,

An examination OF Governor Cleve.
land's record shows the shallowness of
the demagogic campaign lilo started by
the Blaine organs and their Tammany
allies, that the Democratic candidate for
tho Presidency Is not friendly 10 the
worklngmen. II shows, furthermore,
that In his public utterances and his
executive acts Mr.. Cleveland has always
had u genuine sympathy with the labor.
ing classes and has ever been mindful
Of their best interests.
The first expression of his views on
this subject after his name became
familiar throughout the State. was made
In his letter accepting the nomination
for Governor. In this letter, dated 0c-
tober 7th, 1882, he said:
The laboring classes constitute the
main part OF our population. They
should be protected In their efforts
peaceably TO assert their rights when
endangered by aggregated capital, and
oil statutes on this subject should rec
ognize the care OF the State for honest
toll and be framed with view OF I'M
proving the condition OF tho working
man,
There is no uncertain tone here, no
lack Of sympathy with the cause OF hon
eat labor. Mr.. Clevelands record as
Governor, is entirely In keeping with
these views. He has Loyalty adhered TO
them In the two messages which he has
submitted TO the Legislature, and with
respect to every bill, whether signed or
vetoed, on which he has been called to
act
OF the proposition TO abolish contract
labor In the State prisons Governor
Cleveland said In his message lust Janu-
ary: "The subject should be approached
with the utmost care and deliberation.
The opportunity OF the workingman
should not be injuriously affected by the
labor Of convicts In the prisons" In
tho same document he renewed the
earnest recommendation which he had
made In his first message that more
stringent laws be passed for the protec-
tion Of deposlt0rs In savings banks. This
recommendation was advanced In be-
half OF the poorer classes and working
people.
The bill for the establishment Of a
Bureau Of Labor Statistics was brought
forward In the interest Of the laboring
clusses. II received the cordial approval
Of Gov. Cleveland and by his signature
became law. The bill providing that
whenever any employer maksan assign.
ment the wages of the employees shall be
paid before any othor claims was dc.
signed TO secure simple justice and sub
stantial benefits to wage earners, II
