Letter from Grover Cleveland.

At the great Democratic mas
meeting at Columbus, Ohio, on tn,
Gath, which was addressed by Sena
tor Thurman. Senator Ely, Henri,
Payne, Robert Mclean, ex-senator
Doohttle, Governor Hendricks ant
Speaker Carlisle, the following terse
vigorous and statesmanlike Letter
from Grover Cleveland was read:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, ALBANY,
Sept, 23d, 1884.
My Dear Sir IL very much regret
that the pressure OF official duties
will prevent my joining you at the
meeting 10 be- held in Columbus on
the oath inst. / hope the meeting
will be complete success and will
be the means Of increasing the en-
thusiasm aroused for the cause OF
good government. I believe that the
voters Of the country are fully alive
to the necessity Of installing an ad-
ministration Of public affairs which
shall be truly their own, not only be-
cause it is the result Of their choice,
but because it's selected instruments
are directly from the body Of the peo-
pie and impressed with the peoples
thoughts and sentiments. They are
tired, 1 think, of q rule so long con-
tinued that it has bred and fostered
class standing between them and
their political action, and whose in
terest in affairs ends with partisan
zeal and personal advantage. Let
me remind the people that if they
seek to make their public servants
feel their direct responsibility to them
and careful of their interests, their
objects will not be accomplished by q
blind adherence to party which has
grown arrogant with long-continued
power. Let me impress upon the
people that the issue involved in the
pending canvass is the establishment
of pure and honest administration
of their government, and let me show
them the way to this and warn them
against any cunningly designed effort
to lead them into other paths of If
relevant discussion. With these con-
siderations before them and with an
earnest presentation of our claims to
the confidence Of the people and of
their responsibility, we need have no
fear Of the result of their intelligent
action.
Yours very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

SAN ANTONIO, OCr. l, 1884.


EDITOR FREE PRESS The tale il
told and the agony is over, ct least
80 far as the convention OF Bexal
county is concerned.
That august body commenced last
Friday and elected Heterogeneous
collection of Office holders and seekers
consisting of Republicans, Independ
onts and Democrats, to bear the
standard Of Democracy on to victory
at the approaching election.
On the whole the primaries were
we'll attended and harmonious, as
we'll as the county convention which
nominated most of the candidates by
reclamation.
To q casual observer, everything
betokens Democratic victory, judg-
ing from the grand hurrah which
signalized the passage of the candi-
dates through the democratic mill on
Friday; but the more knowing and
observant ones predict bitter fight
all along the line" that will astonish
even the ''oldest inhabitant."
The principal causes for "bolting"
rs set forth by the "kronic kickers"
are first, the primaries were packed
by Mexicans and non residents,
through the influence of some half a
dozen Office holders which the local
press denominate "a clique" "a court
house ring" etc.
Secondly, that some Of the nomi-
nees of the convention are not
Democrats and have never been
recognized as such, but on the contrary
have held Office rendered them by
parties of a different political complex

years was nominated for District

PUBLIC BUILDINGS AT WASHING
TON

have been figuring up, says writer
in the Washington Post, what this Capt..
tai of ours has cost us since the beginning,
and I find that the amount is over
500, 100000. The subject was investi-
gated by Congress in 1876. The total
at that time was cost of $94,362, 423;
since then 100000 has been paid out
for public buildings alone, and the
amount paid OUT for works of art, park
decorations and other things will run
the total far ahead of the amount above
stated. For number of years it has
cost more than $1,000,0OC year to pay
the Government expenses of the District
of Columbia, and since 1862 the amounts
have been much higher. In 1873 the
amount was more than $8,000,000. In
1876 it was more than 100000, while
from 1923 to 1862 it was less than ST.
900, 900 year. In 1914 only $1,000
was appropriated for the District of
Columbia, and it was not until 1887 that
| the yearly proportion reached ST 900, 900.
1t is interesting to look over the items
of permanent Improvement in Washing
ton. These include the original cost of
the buildings and their repairs, furnish
ing and keeping in order The follow
ing estimate, though not exactly correct,
is approximately so. 1t is less rather
than greater than the actual cost, some
of the minor expenses during the past
seven years being omitted: The Capitol
has cost S17, 672 1913; the Patent Office,
over $13,O00,000; the treasury, about
81, 200, 900; the Washington streets more
than $6,OO0,O00, the State Department,
about 100000; the Navy, nearly
81, OOO,OOO; the White House, two parks
and public grounds, about 100000.
