SHow does Cleveland stand with the
workingmen of Buffalo, the REGISTER man

CLEVELAND AND LABOR.
HE could not stand otherwise thanwell.
was the enthusiastic reply. Ale is one Of
them. Grover Cleveland-and know him
like brother-is a man who never had any
glittering advantages in hfe, but he took
the proper care of what he had. He is en-
phatieally man of the people and is afiec-
tionately known throughout the State as
Our Governor, by all classes and condi-
tons of people. He is approachab!e and
the humblest citizen of New York would
not be overwhelmed by his dignity. don't
see how the labor element could possibly 60
back on him. There are few men in
Buffalo who are whacking the Courier over
his shoulders, but that is all, and itamounts
to nothing and will be unheard of long be-

How do your people regard him person.

Let me give YOU little history. Erie
county is Republican, Dat such was the
popular admiration for the staunch, infexir
Die integrity of Clevelaads character, that
he was elected Sheriff by 5000, Mayor By
1900 and Governor By 800 in the county.
Well, such was the boom for him that when
he was made Governor, the Buffalo people
said he was their Governor and they owned
him and forthwith they worked through the
legislature certain Buualo measures and
o. Cleveland vetoed every one Of them.
In the rigid discharge of his official duty he
knew ucither home nor fiends-he was the
Governor Of all the people
what was the effect of that?
THEY LOVE HIM FOR HIS ENEMIES.
"Iust this: 1t made him bitter enemies.
and among them was even Lockwood, who
nominated him at Chicago, and who was
last year rampant enemy But when
Cleveland, swerving neither to the right nor
left knowing no home nor friends nor
kindred in the honest, mani aid faithful
discharge of his duties, gave no heed to this
opposition, such revulsion of feeling set in
as Buffalo never knew HIS course com
PEELED the admiration even OF his bitterest
enemirs and foes were converted into
friends, for and wide. The man, who
could resist every influence and withstand
every temptation, as he has done, was re-
garded as something more than human-he
vas demigod. You people who heard
Gen. Bragg exclaim al the Chicago Con-
vention: We love him most for the enc
mics he has mader cannot appreciate it.
But we in Buffalo could and to us it was
the grandest thing of that grand cOnven-
convention. And that is your answer to
the question how Cleveland is regarded in
Buffalo"
will he lose any labor votes there?
Not a Democratic vote, but he will
gain many Republican votes. The man
who cannot be bulldozed, who is incorrup-
,ible, who knows no man and no party
when duty calls him, is bound to win votes
everywhere. 1t is tn, same way with the
Irish vote. Every Democratic lrishman |

and the only opposing Irish are few Re
