other than a friend of the men who
labor. No man works harder than he
does, and his entire active life has been
one OF toll ..i... ls.
1t is not true, rs Buffers friends
have asserted, that Gov. Cleveland has
offended the workingmenof New York.
He signed the bill to establish n bureau
OF labor statistics, and his nomination
of commissioners to take charge OF
the bureau has elected the approba-
ton Of the President of the State
Workingmen's Assembly. He also
signed the bill to abolish convict labor
The first draft of this bill was defective
and GOV, Cleveland took steps to have
the bill perfected before it was sent up
for his signature. He also approved
the bill to forbid the manufacture OF
cigars in tenement houses--a bill that
the labor organizations pressed to pas
sage,
1t is claimed however, that he vetoed
a mechanics lien law intended to give
mechanics first lien on property in
payment for labor and material. He
did veto bill of that nature, but he
did SO because the bill was so clumsily
drawn that it did not make mechanics
preferred creditors. 1t gave lien tc
all comers, thereby defeating the oh.
ject Of the bill. There were other me
chQnic's lien laws in operation, and
these would have been repealed ii Gov
Cleveland had signed the bill. He
voted it to save to the mechanics the
preferences they had enjoyed undcl
earlier laws,
A great deal of noise has beon made
over the veto of the five-cent-fare bill
The facts are these: The fare on the
elevated roads is five cents between
4 80 and 1880 O'Clock, both morning
and evening. These are the hours
when workingmen use the elevated
roads. Between 7 80 am. and sc
p. m., the fare is ten cents but brokers
merchants and other well-to-do people
ridein these hours, and Gov, Cleveland
very properly decided to let them con
tribute to-thc income Of the roads, Sc
that no raid on the workingmen's rates
would be made. These are the cold
facts of the case. The workingmer
now pay as they ride to and from theil
homes only five cents.
The entire record Of Governor Cleve
land is unexceptionable in this respect
Mr.. Walter S. Thayer, the president o.
the leading labor organization of the
State, is his devoted friend, and there
is no intelligent workingman in New
York who will not stand by him il
the coming canvass. The opposition
will come from the Kelly-Butler camp
and it will come without n particle o
basis to rest upon, so far as the
interests Of the workingmen are con

INDEPENDENT REPUBLIC ANS FOR CLEvE-
LAND.
New York, July 11.-There is no
doubt that the nominations at Chica-
go to-day were more vigorously re-
ceived by the Democrats of New York
than were the nominations of the
Republicans few weeks ago. AT the
various newspaper offices, clubhouses,
hotels, and other places where bulle-
tins were displayed, crowds stood anx-
iously from morning until evening,
awaiting the result of the Democratic
deliberations.
AT the Fifth Avenue hotel this even
ing, where stereopticon reports were
displayed, the wisdom of the nomina-
tions was discussed with much vigor
by Republicans and Democrats alike.
The Independent Republicans were
naturally gratified with the result.
General Francis c. Barlow said to
your correspondent: 81 am very
glad that a good, clean candidate has
been selected, on the express grounds
that he was a clean candidate, and in
opposition to the warfare OF Tammany
Hall. The New York Independent
Republican Committee" he said,
"will speedily communicate with the
Independent Republicans in Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut and elsewhere,
and general conference probably
will be held in this city, when Cleve-
lands nomination will, doubtless, be
ratified"

popularity among the young men was
u well established fact. The opposi-
ton of Tammany Hall to Cleveland
he did not regard as an injury to his
prospects, but rather as a benefit to
him. Tammany's strength, he said +,
was greatly exaggerated, and it was
by no means the important political
factor that many peopled supposed.
If it was known That Tammany was
working against Cleveland, it would
gain him votes all over the State,
The Independent Republicans would
throw their influence in favor of
Cleveland. They proposed to con
duct their campaign upon independ-
ent principles, and keep free from en-
tanglements with their party. A con-
ference would be held about, the 22d
Of July, probably in this city, when a
definitcline Of policy would be decided

nation of Cleveland makes the way
pefectly plain and simple for all friends
OF good government, who are for any
reason dissatisfied with the 'Republi-

made no mistake. Ii Cleveland had
no other claim to the confidence and

A New Medical Association.

The action of the Homeopathic Medical as
ISOLATION in adopting resolution which pro-
vides that graduates of medicine who are
clerks in the departments shall not be ad-
mitted into that organization has caused no
little excitement among that class. This
feeling was intensified by the announcement
that the regular association would probably
adopt a similar resolution at its next meet
ing. A we'll known practIcing physician,
who also holds a government position,
was met by o REPUBLICAN reporter
last evening. He stated that there
is well-organized movement among

lures. 1t is thought that the new association
will number about seventy members, that be-
ing about the number Of graduates of both
schools of medicine in the departments. The
speaker concluded, with some emphasis: The
city physicians are trying to convert the
Medical association into a trades union by
boycotting legitimate practitioners"
