Col. L. p. Lowndes presented the bas-
! ket to Lieut.. Fitch, stating that it
was a "candid" expression of the Dra-

OF the arguments urged in his behalf, is,
that he has devoted his whole time and
attention to public business and to serving
his country. If that were true there is no
earthly way in which he could have ac-
cumulated his millions. Yet, he, with all
his wealth, claims TO be more especially
the champion of the workingman than
Grover Cleveland, who not only knows what
it was in the past to be workingman,
but is to-day laborer for his daily bread
and gains his sole livelihood from his
yearly earnings. The following is brief
of his public career:

What Workinqmen Say.

New YORK, Aug ga delegation OF
workingmen called on the National Demo
cratic committee this morning. 1t was
composed of j. A. Thompson, president
of the car drivers union; ii. Cavanaugh.
president of tire engineers union; b. M.
Abel, president of the brass workers
union, and A. A. Carsey, president, and
II. o. Terrier, secretary of the independ-
ent labor party. They presented the fol-
lowing answer to statements made in Gen.
Buffers letter of acceptance:
We desire to correct the statement made by
Gen. Butler that the democratic convention at
Chicago refused TO insert in its platform single
demand OF the workingnlen or a plank in the in
terest Of labor. The committee on resolutions
granted a hearing to three committees of work.
ingmen-one from the national labor party, an
other from the federated trades unions and a
third committee of New York workingmen, and
inserted In the platform every measure demand
ed by these bona fide representatives Of labor.
We also wish TO correct the misstatement that
Gov. Cleveland has failed TO carry out the pied
ges made In the platform of 1882. The opposite
is the case. Every measure demanded by the
workingmen has been granted, despite the act
i've and earnest opposition of the republican
legi stature, and by his efforts more has been
granted TO the workingmen in the way of practi-
cal legislation than has been done by all the
labor unions or political parties from the decla-
ton OF Independence TO this DAY. Every meas
ure asked for by the anti-monopoly league and
and the labor party of this state las inserted In
the democratic platform of lSS2)has been grant
ed and Grover Clevelend and the democratic
party Of this state can honestly claim the merit
of inaugurating all the measures that have been
taken up by other state legislatures and passed
TO the great benefit of working classes, and in
In the national platforms of the
and republican parties. As for the
great cutlery made oyer the vetoes OF the five
cent fare bill, the mechanics lien BILL and the
car drivers bill. IL is sufficient TO say that not
one OF those bills were prepared or presented

AS A PUBLIC OFFICER.

Mr.. Cleveland's high conception of the
duties of a public servant have been ex.
pressed over and over again in his public
addresses and messages to the Legislature
of New York. In accepting the nomina-
ton for Mayor at Buffalo in 1881, he used
the following words:
OFFICIALS The TRUSTEES OF THE PEOPLE.
"And when we consider that public
officials are the trustees of the people, and hold
their places and exercise their powers for the
benefit OF the people, there should be no higher
of public duty.
"These are very old TRUTHS but cannot for.
bear TO speak in this strain to day, because be-
lleVe the time has come when the people loudly
demand that these principles shall be sincerely
an without mental reservation, adopted as a
rule OF conduct And am assured that the re-
SUIT or the campaign upon which we enter To-
day will demonstrate that the citizens of buffalo
will not tolerate the man or the party who has
been unfalthful TO public trusts. / say these
things 10 convention OF Democrats because |
know that the grand old party is honest and
they cannot be un welcome to you. Let us then
In all sincerity promise the people an improve
ment IN our municipal affairs: and if the oppor-
tunlty is afforded To us, as II surely will be- let
us faithfully keep that promise. BY this means
ana by TINS means only, can our success rest
upon firm foundation and our party ascend
ancy be permanently assured. Our Opponents
will wage a bitter and determined warfare; but
with united and hearty efforts we will achieve
victory FOR our entire ticket. And at this day
and with my record before YOU trust IL il nm,
necessary for ME to pledge TO you my most ear.
nest endeavors TO bring about this result; and if
elected To the position for which Won have nom
mated me, shall do my whole duty to the par
Buffalo" -
These few extracts stamp Governor
Cleveland as clear and concise thinker,
and as man who fully comprehends the
responsibilities attached to the high offices
he has filled, and to the high Office he is a
candidate for. He steps out of partizan
politics, lays aside party prejudice and
passions, and performs his public duties
as servant of the people regardless of
everything except the public welfare. No
man who has followed his career and read
his documents and messages, can for a
moment assert that he lacks the necessary
experience and qualifications for the
Presidency. In all Dir. Blaine's volumin-
GUS works and in all his congressional
career, of twenty years, no such language
full of the highest devotion to the people
and to his country can be found, as is con-
tanned in the above brief extract. Mr..
Blaine may be brilliant and magnetic, but
If the people compare his productions with
those of Governor Cleveland, the inevita-
BILE conclusion is that he lacks the solidity
of thought and profound common sense
that characterizes Governor Cleveland.

AS MAYOR OF BUFFALO.

In accepting the nomination as mayor
of Buffalo he pledged himself to do all
within his power to relieve the citizens of
of that city from burdensome taxa
ton. He used the following words:
~ believe much can be done to relieve our
citizens from their present load OF taxation /.
and that more rigid scrutiny OF al public eX.
prnditures will result in n great saving to the
commurity. also believe that some extrav-
agances in our city government may be cor
rected without Injury to the public service
There is, or there should be, reason why the
Affairs or our city should not be managed with
the same care and the same economy as private
interests. And when we consider the public
uflici Is are the trustees of the people and hold
their places and exercise the ir powers for the
benefit of the people, there should be no higher
inducement to a faithful and honest discharge
of public duty"
And in his first message as mayor of
Buffalo he used the following words, re-
lative TO the public money:
I'VE hold the money Of the people in our
hands TO be used for their purposes, and to fur
ther their interests as members of the munich
patty and Il is quite apparent that when any
part of the funds which the taxpayers have in.
trusted us, are diverted to other purposes, or
when by design or neglect, we allow a greater
sum TO be applied to any municipal purpose
than is necessary, we have, to that extent, VIC
his duties and obligations, whether a person is
intrusted with the money of one man or many
And yet II sometimes appears as though the
ofhce-holder asusines that different rule of
fidelity prevails between him and the taxpayer
than that which should regulate his conduct
when, as an individual, he holds the money of
his neighbor.
1T seems to me that a successful and faithful
administration of the government of our city
may be accomplished by constantly bearing in
mind that we are the trustee aud agents of our
fellow citizens, holding their funds in acred
trust, TO be expended for their benefit; that we
should at all times be prepared to render an
honest account OF Them touching the ma nner
of their expenditure. and that the affairs of the
city should be conducted. as far as possible up-
on the same principles as good business man
manages his private concerns"
cannot recall the expressions of any
public mans words more expressive of the
duties of public officers in handling the
peoples money. Nor can any advocate
of Mr.. Blaine's election point to any pas
sage in the voluminous and numerous
speeches of his candidate, language so en-
inently wise and fit.
