GOV. cLEvELAND's LETTER
ACCEPTING THE DEMOCRATIC NOM
NATION FOR THE PRES
IDENCY.
ALBANY, N. Y.,l
Aug. IS. {

/
Aug. 49,.
Gov. Cleveland's letter formal,
accepting the Democratic nomina
ton for President of the Unite,
States is as follows:
GenNemen-I have received you
communication, dated July 2sth
1884, informing me of my nomina
ton to the Office of President of tn,
United States by the National De
mocratic Convention lately assem-
bled at Chicago. I accept The
nomination with a grateful appreci,
alton of the supreme honor CONFER
ed, and q solemn sense of the res.
possibility which in its acceptance
I assume.
l have carefully considered the
platform adopted by the Conven.
ton, and cordially approve the
same. So plain statement of De-
mocratio faith and the principles
upon which that party appeals to
the saffrages of the people, needs
no supplement or explanation. 1t
should be remembered that the Of
flee of President is essentially ex-
ecutive in it's nature. The laws en-
acted by the legislative branch of
the Government the Chief Execu-
tive,is bound faithfully to enforce,
and when the wisdom of the politi-
cal party which selects one of its
members as nominee for that Of
flee has outlived it's policy and de-
clared its principles, it seems to me
that nothing in the character of the
Office or the necessities of the case
requires moro from a nomination
than the suggestion Of certain we'll
known truths, SO absolutely vital to
tho safety and welfare of the ma
lion that they cannot be too often
recalled or too seriously enforced.
We proudly call ours a Govern
nent by the people. 1t is not such
when a class is tolerated which ar
'ogates to itself the management of
public affairs, seeking to control
he people instead of representing
hem.
Parties are the necessary out
growth Of our institutions, but a
Government is not by the people
When one party fastens its control
lpon the country and perpetuates
ts power by cajoling and betraying
he people instead Of serving them. |
A government is not by the peo-
lie when a result which should re.
resent the intelligent will of free
nd thinking men is, or can be, de-
by the shamelessness of
heir sufrages.
When an election to office shall

ne of their number to assume for a
me public trust instead of bis
edication to the profession Of poll

by sense Of duty, shall
venge the truth betrayed and pied
es broken, and when the suffrage
,all be altogether free and uncor-
lpted, the full realization of q
overnment by the people will be

ent. be more effective than an

When We consider the patronage
OF this great Office, the allurement.
of power, the temptation to retail
q public place once gained, and
more than all, the availability q
party finds in an incumbent whom
a horde of office-holders, with a
zeal born Of benefits received and
fostered by the hope Of favors ye,
to come, stand too ready to aid with
money and trained political service,
we recognize in the eligibility Of
the president to reelection Almost Sc
rious danger to that calm, delibe-
rate and intelligent, political action
which must characterize govern
ment by the people.
A true American sentiment rec
ognizes the dignity Of labor and
the fact that honor lies in honest
toll. Contented labor IS a sign Of
national prosperity. Ability to work
constitutes the capital and the wa
ges Of labor, the income of a vast
number of our population and this
interest should be jealousy protect
ed. Our workingmen are not ask
ing unreasonable indulgence but,
as intelliSent and manly citizens,
they seek the same consideration
which those demand who have 9TH
er interests 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 wants and needs of the
employers and the employed shall
alike be subserved, and the pros.
perity of the country, the common
heritage Of both, be advanced. As
related to this subject, while we
should not discourage the emigra-
ton of those who come to acknowl-
edge allegiance to our Government
and add to our citizen population,
yet, as a means of protection to our
workingmen, q different rule should |
prevail concerning those who, if
they come, or are brought to our
land, do not intend to become
Americans, but will injuriously
compete with those justly entitled
to our field of labor.
In q letter accepting the nomina-
ton to the Office of Governor, near
ly two years ago, / made the fol-
lowing statement, to which / have
steadily adhered: The laboring
classes constitute the main part of
our population. They should be
protected in their efforts peaceably
to assert their rights, when endan
gered by aggregated capital, and
al statutes on this subject should
recognize the care of the State for
honest toll and be framed with a
view of improving the condition of {
he workingman.

peace and good ordor Of the com
muaity. The limit between the
proper subjects Of governmental
control and those which can be
more fittingly left to the moral
sense and self-fmposed restraint in
the citizen should be carefully kept
in view. These laws unnecessarii-
" interfering with the habits and
customs of any Of our people which
are consistent with good citizenship
and the public welfare, are unwise
and vexatious.
The commerce of a nation to q
great extent determines its supre-
macy. Cheap and easy transpor-
tation should, therefore, be liberal
ly fostered within the limits Of the
constitution. The General Gov
eminent should so improve and pro-
teot its natural waterways as will
enable the producers Of the coun-
try to reach q profitable market.
The people pay the wages Of the
public employees, and they are en-
titled to the fair and honest work
which the money thus paid should
command. 1t is the duty of those
intrusted with the management of
their affairs to see that such public
service is forthcoming. The selec-
ton and retention Of subordinates.
in Government employment should
depend upon their ascertained fit
ness and the value of their work,
and they should be neither expec-
ted nor allowed to do questionable
party service. The interests Of the
people will be better protected
The estimate of public labor and
duty will be immensely improved.
Public employment will be open to
all who demonstrate their fitness to
enter it. The unseemly scramble
Tor place under the Government
with the consequent importantly
which embitters official life will
cease, and the public departments

Order and Harmory.

The Grand Sytem OF the Uni.
verse works with such harmony
that there 10 never tho slightest de-
Walton from tho natural laws that
govern it. Order Ia heavens first
law The astronomer can calculate
the exact position Of any planet, at
any given time, past, present, or
future. In thus word nature carries
out the Same general plan OF order
and harmony. The regular alterna.
tion of the seasons; with the fruits
of the earth IN their time, and the
cold blasts OF winter, arc parts OF
the same design. The lower orders
of animal lfo are governed by laws
that arc rs perfect az they are un.
changable. Man, with his FREQ will,
his selflshness, ana his ambition, is
the disturbing element of Eden.
With seeming torgotiuIness of his
noble origin, and OF his destiny, he
too often sacrifices health, and life
itself, in pursuit of phantom. The
ambition to rapidly acquire riches
blunts his sonslbhties, and in his
dealings he experiences no pang in
dc handing "the pound of flesh"
Such mon usually b eoome victims
of mental and bodily disease; and
their lives close pormaturely, and
often before the first object of their
ambition has been attained. An
old proverb enjoins us to hasten
slo WHY TO gain money by honest
industry, is most commondablo. DC.
cupation Of mind and body in some
honest and reasonably profitable
business, is the greatest promoter
of health and happiness and long
life. Such course brings us in
harmony with the laws of nature
and fits us for tho enjoyment of
life's blessings as they como to us,
while diseiplining US for higher
existence.
