WOrkingmen Correcting General But
Ter.
From the New York Dial, August 20. |

A delegation of workingmen, COM
posed of II. A. Thompson, President of
, of the Car Drivers Union; J. J. Cav
anagh, President of the Engineers Un-
ion; B. M. Abell, President ofth Brass
Workers Union; A. A. Carser, Presi-
dent, and r. o. Ferrier Secretary of
the Independent Labor Party, called on
the National Democratic Committee to-
day and presented the following state
ment in answer to the assertion made
by Genearl Butler in his letter of ac-
ceptance:
made by General Butler in his letter of
acceptance that the National Democrat
ic Convention at Chicago refused to in
sert in their platform single demand
of the workingmen in plank in the
interest of labor. 1t may be true that
the Committee on Resolutions refused
to be governed or dictated to by General
Butler, but'it is not true that they re-
fused to listen to or grant the requests
of the wOrkingmen, for the committee
on Resolution granted hearing to
three different committees of Working
men-one from the National Labor Par
ty, another from the Federated Trades
Unions and third committee of New
York workingmen. The Committee on
Resolutions listened to their arguments
and inserted in the Democratic Plat
form every measure demanded by those
who are bono fide representative of la
Dor.
"We also wish to correct the misstate-
ment that Governor Cleveland has
failed to carry out the pledges made in
the platform of 1882 but the opposite is
the case, for every measure demanded
by the workingmen has been granted,
despite the active and earnest opposi-
ton of the Republican Legislature of
this State, and that by and through his
efforts more has been granted to the
workingmen in the way ofpractical leg
islation and more has been accom-
plished for his benefit than has been
done by all the labor unions or political
parties of these United States from the
Declaration of Independence until this
day:
"Every measure asked for by the
Anti-Monopoly League and the Labor
party of this State as inserted in the
Democratic platform in 1882, has been
granted, and Grover Cleveland and the
Democratic party of this State can hon
estly claim the merit of inaugurating
all the measures that have been taken
up by other State Legislatures, and
passed to the great benefit of the work.
ing classes and incorporated in the ma
tional platforms of the Democratic and
Republican parties. AS for the great
outcry made over the votes of the Five
Cent Fare bill, the Mechanics Lien bill
and the Car Drivers bill, it is sufficient to
say not one of those bills We're prepared
or presented to the Legislature by Il
workingman by labor organization,
but were measures by and in the inter
ests of middlemen and spectators and
for the benefit of the wealthy, and were
not asked for or desired by the working
classes"

From the N. Y. Herald
Tot a "Campaign of Enthusiasm

When Mr.. Blaine was nominated his
followers at once proclaimed that they
would make a Campaign Of Enthusi-
asm.', They asserted that they had
nominated the most popular man in
the republican party. He would sweep
through the West and Northwest like a
prairie fire. In New England the child
rem had been crying for him. In New
York he had, owing to President Ar
thurs honorable observance of the civil
service laws, the whole Custom House
and machine influence with him, and
in the interior of the State the republic
cans were hungry to vote for him.
So far these pleasing prospects have
certainly not been realized, either in the
West or the East. There can be no doubt
that the nomination of Mr.. Blaine has
been wet blanket on his party. 1t has
caused very great detection in all the
Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1884-09-11

A tramp struck Detroit the other day

class will freeze and starve. 1t has
long been a wonder that none of these
men knew how TO take human nature,
but here is a man at last He was yes
terday working several streets in the
northern part of the city. He made
his call at the front door. Selecting
his house, and when the ring was an
swered, he would remove his hat and
inquire:

"Ahl excuse me. Twas told that it

derstand why you should want to part
with such. fine property. This is
one of the prettiest streets in Detroit"
"Yes, think so.'
"The air must be sweet and pure

"Oh. yes"
"How nice everything around your
house is kept up! Any stranger could
at once see that the family had taste

want at least 500, 0,000p"
"Oh. my, no! my husband values the
place at about $4,000"
"Only $4,000! Beg, pardon, but I
hope he won't be foolish enough to think
of selling it at that figure. He, might
just as well get $4,000. 1 see that
your neighbors try TO initiate your cur

Western and Northwestern states, as
well as In the East; detection so great
and dangerous, as well as immediate,
that the Blaine men had no sooner
achieved his nomination than they be-
gan to flatter and court what they con-
temptuOusly call the Irish vote,n in
the hope by that means to make up
their losses. The nomination of Mr..
Blaine has created disgust among re-
publicans which affects even great
part of those who mean to vote for him
out of sentiment of fidelity to party,
or out of sentimental dislike of the
democratic party. 1t is not easy to find
a republican intending to vote the
Blaine ticket who does not admit that
the nomination was "a mistake" or
that he "regrets it.n So general and al
with the Blaine ticket that it has en-
couraged the prOhibitionists to put their
ticket in the field, and present appear
ances show that while very great mass
of republicans will support Governor
Cleveland, Governor ST. John will get
a very large vote also.
The Blaine managers deceived them.
selves with the belief that in the West
and Northwest the Blaine ticket would
arouse such enthusiasm that the whole
Northwest would be swept by it. They
are discovering already, to their dismay
that the republican opposition to Mr..
Blaine is very formidable in every
Northwestern State-so powerful, in
fact, of such dimensions and so spon-
taneous, that even before the canvass
has fairly opened four or five North.
western States are relegated to the list
headed "uncertain," and the Blaine
men are threatened with losses out
there so serious that no possible gains in
other parts of the country can save
them.
The Blaine people have some great
advantages in their struggle for the
possession Of the government. They
have on their side the great corpora.
tions, the great monopolists and the
great spectators. But they have
against them, as is clearly more appar'
ent, another and greater power-the
people. The voters think it is "time
for change" and they are right.

Skill VS., Ignorance,

rope. At Smyrna he was seized by tine
emissaries of Austria and carried on
board am Austrian vessel of war. His
release was demanded by the American
officials and refused. At once Captain
Ingraham, of our navy, prepared the
sloop-Of-war, the st. Louis, for action
and would have destroyed the Austrian
vessel had not terms been agreed to.
The correspondence which followed,
saws one of our historians, was one Of
the ablest on record and extended be-
fore its termination to almost every
question affecting naturalization and
citizenship. 1t was conducted on the
part of the United States by Mr.. Marcy,
a man of great power and thoroughly
American. The same writer says Mr..
Marcy was completely triumphant in
hisargument and KosZta was remanded
to the United States and precedent es-
tablished under which every emigrant
to these shores may be protected. In
striking contrast is the case of Me-
Sweeny during Mr.. Blaine's service as
Secretary of State. Had Marcy been
the Secretary of State at the time
would McSweeny have languished in
prison for ten monthso Would his
wife's letter have been unnoticed in
the State Departments? Under Marcy
American rights were vindicated. Tn
der Blaine they were neglected.

me as free from concealnlents and the
arts of the demagogue as any man
know. AS far as l could judge in Q
single conversation thought him in 6
marked degree governed in his officia
life by his convictions of duty. You dc
not expect him to escape criticism upor
his official life; that can hardly be the
fortune of any candidate. Touching

All weakness and i'll health owes its
origin to an impure state of the blood

The assertion has been persistenty and yehe-
mently made that the tariff would not and should
not and could not come up this winter; and 10, on
the very FIRST day OF the session IL took the first
place In attention. and what 1s more 1t is likely TO
stay there all winter. The most pressing question
In American politics to-day is how to deal with
the surplus revenues, and this question cannot be
treated without reference to our tariff system. The
situation Is very simple one. The receipts OF the
government exceed its expenditures one hundred
million dollars annually. This surplus may be
Maintained and applied to the extinction OF the
national debt; or re-dtstributed among the states
or expended In internal Improvements and works
OF national defense; the taxes can ba cut down.
One Of these courses must be adopted and followed,
however grave the dangers that surround the path,
for In this matter it is impossible to remain
neutral And as some policy must be adopted, 1t
Is unreasonable 20 suppose that the men elected by
the country TO direct its affairs are to carefully
and by common consent to abstain from discussing
the one supreme question OF the time.
