Mr., Blaine is quite grandiloquent over

CLEVELAND AS GOVERNOR,

Some days ago complaint was made to
Governor Cleveland, at Albany, that the
law passed by the Legislature last win
ter, providing that hOnorably discharged
Union soldiers and sailors should have
the preference on all State works, had
not been complied with In the recent
discharge of men employed on tho new
Capitol. The Governor Immediately sent
the following letter to Commissioner
Perry;
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER, ALBANY, July 2s,
1884.
Isaac G. Perry, Esq, Supt.:
DEAR SIR IL desire to call your at,
tentiOn TO the provisions OF chapter Sl2
Laws OF 1884. This statute declares
that: "In every public works OF the
State OF New York honorably discharg-
cd Union soldiers and sailors shall be
preferred for appointment and employ
ment." This law should be observed by
you az well In tho origi0al employment
OF persona TO work on the Capitol as In
the discrimination which you are obliged
to make when lack Of funds compels you
TO reduce your force.
Yours, truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
In reply, Commissioner Perry states
that he has Obeyed the law IN all re-
spects, and the complaints are without
foundation. There are now over 200
men still employed who ale discharged
Union soldiers and sailors, and there
we're but four such among those, num-
bering over 400, who were paid of. He
also adds that but four others have been
discharged this season, and those for
cauae.

Gov. CLICK, in his speech at the OPP
era House last Saturday night, was fair
and honest in his statements. He
proved by statistics what prohibition
did for Massachusetts and has done for
Maine. He showed in striking manner
what it has done and is doing for Kan
saS. He declared in favor of reSubmiS-
sion and cOunseled the voters to vote for
no man for Representative or Senator
who did not declare himself for or against
resubmisSiOn. This is not healthy
year for evaSiOnS and dOuble-dealing
n man must be open and pronounced
in his views on questions of public in
terest, or else he declares himself a
moral coward and as such not fit to be
trusted. The Governor is decidedly in
favor of resubmiSSiOn, but he will work
towards and for that end in a cOnstitu-
tiOnal way His is anything but revO-
lutiOnary nature. He will try to tri-
umph his principle of resubmission by
agitation, and will appeal to the people
to remove the prohibition alien from
the states constitution and statute
book. His methods will be peaceful
and lawful methods, his enemies to the
contrary Notwithstanding, and the man
ly, independent voters of Kansas will
side with him in this fight for personal
liberty and individual rights.

If the democratic party is the only
portion of the community of Kansas
voters that favors whisky, why doesn't
JOHN A. MARTIN come out with plain,
square statement that he is now, as he
was before his nomination, in favor of
prohibition and against resubmission?
Why does he maintain so cowardly 81
lence on this question, while the greater
number of the republican editors and
politicians are engaged in telling the
people that he is in favor of reSubmis-
sion? Wouldn't it be well for the pro-
hibitionists who denounce the dem
ocratic party to look little bit after
the wanderings and cowardice of the re-
publican party as regards this question?
