The following remarks formed q
part of speech made by Gov. Cleve-
land at the Ogdensburg fair, October
4, 1883, and they have about them
the ring of the true metal. Like Mr..
Jefferson, he regards the people as
the source and depository Of politi-
cal power in this country, and be-
lieves that to be effectual, all reform
must emanate from the people, and
be urged forward by the people. II
would be difficult to find more man
ly, pointed and wise address to the
people than is compressed into the
following brief extract from the
speech of Governor Cleveland.
What will render it more acceptable
to our readers in the absence from
it of everything like demagogism,
and the honesty of purpose which
shines out through it. In the kind
OF men he commends as worthy the
sufrages Of the people he accurately
though unintentionally describes him
self. The extract reads as follows
The machinery OF the government
will not do its work unless the strong,
steady hands OF the people are put
upon it. This is not done when the
people say politics is q disgraceful
game and should be left untouched
by those having private concerns and
business which engage their atten-
ton. This neglect serves to give
over the most important interests to
those who care but little for the pro-
lection, and who are willing to put
away their trust for their own advan-
tage Manifestly in this matter the
people can only act through agents
|. of their own selection, but that selec-
ton should be freely and intelligent-
" made by the careful exercise Of
their suffrage. / have said this duty

A very silly effort is being made by
the Republicans TO show that Hen
bricks betrayed Mcdonald at Chicago,
and that the latter is very sore over
the result. The following special TO
the Chicago News will show the
falsity of this statement;
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 13.-Ex-
Senator Joseph Il. Mcdonald says Of
the democratic nominees u was
in no sense surprised Mt the nomina-
ton OF Mr. Clevelend The indica-
tions on the first ballot pointed very
clearly TO his nomination, and when
the news came / was prepared for the
result. I regard the ticket as
strong one, and certainly very exell-
ent one, I most cordially indorse
the work OF the convention. With
regard to the platform / feel no hes
itancy in saying that indorse it 80
far as it limits the revenue to tho
necessities Of the government As o
tariff is nothing more than a tax, do
not believea greater amount of money
should be raised than is necessary
for the expenses. Personally, am
satisfied. Senator Voorhees, was
authorized to do whateverhe thought
advisable as the manager Of my inter-
ests, and I fully approved of his &C.
ton in Withdrawing my name. /
have no reason whateyer to think
that my friends did not do oil in their
power in my interest. The speech OF
Mr.. Hendricks in presenting my
name is perfectly satisfactory in 30
far as can judge from the epublished
reports in the newspapers. Possibly
it would be unnatural not to feel
some disappointment, but l feel only
that disappointment that is common
to all men under such circumstances.
I had not become dependent upon o
nomination for either happiness or
comfort. approve Of Mr.. Hen
dricks's nomination very heartily, and
believe that it will add strength to
the ticket. I shall certainly give
it very cordial support. New York
and Indiana are q natural combina-
ton and one reasonably to be expec-
ted. When New York received the
first place on the ticket it was but
natural that Indiana should receive
the second. Yes, my name was men-
toned in connection with the vice.
presidency, but was in no sense q
candidate for the place. I Iregard the
convention as very able one, indeed;
made up Of the representative men
of the party and doing it's work with
a unanimity which presages success.
Cleveland's strength shows his
popularity, and is good omen for

THE RIyULIT.

This little rili. that from the springs
OF yonder grove its current brings.
Plays on the slope awhile, and then
Goes prattling into groves again,
OFT TO It's warbling waters drew
My little feet whom life was new.
When woods In early green were dressed
And from the chambers Of the west
The soft warm breezes travelling out,
Breathed the new scent OF flowers about
My truant steps from homo would stray
Upon the grassy side TO play,
List the brown thrushes vernal hymn,
And crop the violet on its brim,
With blooming cheek and open brow,
As young aud gay, sweet rill, as thou;
And when the days Of boyhood came,
And had grown in love with fame,
Duly sought thy banks and tried,
My first rude numbers by thy side.
Words can not tell how bright and gay
The senes of life before me lay.
Then glorious hopes that now to speak
Would bring the blood into my cheek,
Passed o'er me and wrote on high,
A name / deemed should never die.

higher structure in the world-the
Cathedral at Cologne, which is 525
feet high. During the first season of
the work OF adding to the structure,
which stood SO long at n height of
$50 feet the monument was raised
TO l76 feet, an increase of 20 feet in
height. At the end Of the second
season the monument stood $50 feet
high, an increase in height of "a
feet. At the end of the third season
tho register shows the increase to
have been 80 feet. The next year
the increase was 70 feet By the
tenth of August Of the present and
fifth year, the shaft proper will have
been completed, and will be five
hundred feet high. The work on the
roof will be commenced by the first
of September, and will be pushed so
that everything can be under cover
by the time snow flies. The weight
of the first course of stone was
266. 80 tons, and the last course will
weigh 31.70. The total weight
which was to be added to the old
portion of the monument was 21,000
tons, and but 450 tons of the amount
remain to be placed.

"All aboardr and in few minutes
we had left Louisville in the rear and
were rapidly approaching the bridge
over the Ohio River.
We soon crossed the bridge dist
ance of over 1 ] miles and were speed
ing along through country rich and
well cultivated. On both sides could
be seen corn looking fine. "Change
cars! /" I hear the brakemen yell, and
soon after I change and get into the
car that is to bring me to my destina-
ton, the prison. I arrived about 8
A. M. I stated the object of my visit
in the office, when Mr.. G. H. Tumey,
an old Texican, kindly volunteered to
show me about. First [ will give
an account of the Prison. TIE grounds
cover 15 acres, have 3 cell houses
with q combined capacity of ac-
commodating $50 convicts. Tt has at
present 615. One part of the con-
victs the State leases out to manufac-
turers, and it also keeps u certain
number to do the regular chore work
about it. There are two parties that
lease the convicts for labor, namely
the "Perrin Gaff manufacturing Co."
and also the "Bryan Brown Shoe Co."
headquarters in ST. Louis. [ willnow
describe the Perrin Gaff manufactur-
ing Cos works. First l was taken
into building 2 story brick, whose
entire space was devoted exclusively
to the manufacturing of Piano Stools,
and they turn out about 10000
per year. The machinery of
of this Company here is the most
complete and of the latest improve
ments in their line.
was next ushered into the Foun-
dry, it is brick building 30Ox99 and
employs 135 men. This company
makes all kinds of Shelf Hardware,
Blacksmith tools, and everything that
is made in a foundry.
I was next shown into large a
story brick building occupied by the
'Bryan Brown Shoe Company" l
was first taken in small room where
men were at work making shoes by
hand. They can turn out 35 pair a
week and then I was taken into the
building proper where machinery
was working and every one was busy !;
the capacity of this last department
is 5000 pair a week. Mr.. A. L.
Favrean, the general foreman of this
department kindly volunteered to see
me through. 1 was first taken into
the cutting and fitting room in which
200 convicts are employed, then
into the bottoming room in which
50 prisoners labor. After the
shoes are fitted those that are to be
pegged are taken to a machine that
cuts hole, inserts a peg, drives it
in and then cuts it off; from there
this same shoe is taken to another
machine that cuts the peg off even
with the surface Of the sole, then
another machine is where the bottom
is sand papered, then 10 a machine
with 2 large brushes one at either
end One brush dAnpens the sole
and the other one dries it and polishes
both sole and heel at same time. In
fact / might write a book about this
Shoe Company works and sdll not

works must be seen 70 be appreciated

CLEVELAND OF nav YORK.

Since AR. Tilden declined the Demo
cratic nomination for the Presidency,
fGoyernor Cleveland Of New York, is
undoubtedly, the strongest candidate the
party could select. He has Il National
Reputation, and while lac has a number
of peers.in the party, his political record
is perfectly clean, and his very satisfic-
tory administration Of the Government
of the great Empire State, is conclusive
evidence of high executive abilities.
The New York State Convention at Sar-
atoga was perfectly harmonious through
out its session, and among the resolu-
tions unanimously adopted WAS ~
in~structing the delegates to the National
Convention, to vote as a unit for the
choice of the majority Of the Delegation.
The fact that Cleveland is the ackHOwl-
edged favorite OF n large majority, as
, spTes for him, under the above rule, the
ton of Cleveland would, in our opinion,
receive the hearty endorsement of the
democracy of the United States, and
with Thurman, Mcdonald, Morrison or
any one of n dozen or more good Wcs-
tern Democrats III the second place.
would constitute n ticket inyinciblc by
any and all opposition that can be
