Rntler and Dana.

Gen. Butler is the most grotesque if not the
most despicable figure in American politics,
if Malone and Blaine be excepted. Ever
since his first appearance in the arena of ma
tional politics in 1860, his career has been
remarkable, selfish, erratic, contrary to every
rational rule of human action, pestilent and
mephistophilean. ''To him notoriety is fame
and mischief is the happiest of pastimes. A
conscience of leather, cheek of brass, a
renegade from every party in existence, he is
the high tariff candidate of the anti-monopo-
lists, the millionaire candidate of the work
ingmen. He is the slyest demagogue and the
biggest humbug that ever appeared in Amer
lean politics." Butler is now posing as a
candidate for the Presidency, the nominee of
two unimportant political organizations. He
wanted the Democratic nomination, but fail
ing in that he now opposes the party. He is
supported mainly by that chronic crank and
sorehead, Charles A. Dana, of the N. Y. Sun,
who, like Butler, had the ambition to aspire
to Presidential nomination which he could
not reach. Now, this same Dana, who can
nOG support OrOfci OleNeihhu, Cah suppoIb u
man like Butler, of whom he wrote in the
most caustic manner eleven years ago. To
show what he thought of Butler then, we sub
Join the following extract from the San of
June %, 1873:
'The life and of Ben Butler fifty illustrates
Danton's maxim, 'Audacity. more audacity-always
audacty' Whatever of fictitious consequence he
has, or of questionable success he may have attain
ed can be traced to that one governing rule of his
conduct. Without it he would be lost in the crowd
of trading demagogues and knaves to which he
Belongs With it he has become power in the
party which, while affecting TO despse his vulgar
practices, yet abjectly accepts his leadership and
humbly bows before his power. Hated by some,
condemned by many, and distrusted by ALL this bad
mind and wicked heart, glories in these moral de-
formties fiaunts them constantly before the public
eye and traffics in them political merchandise.
The notoriety which decency shrinks from as a deg
radiation he seeks at any sacrifice: He treats the
reproach which follows such exhibitions as so much
capital added to the stock of ill-fame that had al
ready made his name odiousy conspicuous in and
out of Congress. Rejoicing in his own shame and
coming money from open venality, discarding any
pretense of principle bound by no ties of honor,
when clothed with authority, eowardly by nature,
mercenary from habit and destitute of pne emo
bling quality for manly attributes to lift him up
above these Wretched characteristics, he is to-day
the leading candidate for the highest honor in en-
lighted and moral Massachusetts To this complex
ion have we come at last.
Butler and Dana, par mobile .fratrun', two
political renegades and restless soreheads,
now posing as reformers! Can impudence
and audacity farther go?

A true American sentiment recognizes the
dignity of labor, and the fact that honor lies
in honest toll. Contented labor is an element
of national prosperity. Ability to work con-
stitutes the capital and the wage of labor the
income of vast number of our population,
and this interest should be zealously protected.
Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable
indulgence, but as intelligent and manly citi-
zens they seek the same consideration which
those demand who have other interests at
stake.

execute the laws, to the end that the wants
and needs of the employers and the employed
shall alike be subserved, and the prosperity of
the country, the common heritage of both, be
advanced.

ONE TERM FOR THE PRESIDENT.

And of the means to this end not one would,
in my judgment, be more effective than an
amendment to the constitution disqualifying
the President from reelection. When we
consider the patronage of this great office, the
allurements of power, the temptation to retain
public place once gained, and, more than all,
the availability party finds in an incumbent
whom horde of otficeholders, with zeal
born of benefits received, and fostered by the
hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid
recognize in the eligibility of the President
for reelection most serious danger to that
calm, deliberate and intelligent political &C.
ton which must characterize government by
the people.

cleveland's Letter of Acceptance.

| ALBANY, N. Y, August 19.-The following
was received to-day by Col. Lamont, secretary
| to Gov. Cleveland, who is at Upper Taranac
Lake, with Instructions to make it public on
its receipt:
To Col. William F. Villas, Chairman, and
d. II. Bestor and Others, Members of the
| Notification Committee of the Democratic
National Convention.
Gentlemen have received your communi-
cation dated July %, 1884, informing me of
my nomination to the office of President of
the United States by the National Democratic
Convention, lately assembled at Chicago.
| accept the nomination with grateful APP
probation of the supreme honor conferred
and a solemn sense of the responsibility
which, in its acceptance, | assume.
| have carefully considered the platform
adopted by the convention, and cordially ap-
prove the same. So plain statement of
Democratic faith and the principles upon
which that party appeals to the suffrages of
the people needs no supplement or explana-
ton.
THE PRESIDENT BUT AN EXECUTIVE.
1t should be remembered that the office of
President is essentially executive in its nature
The laws enacted by the Legislative branch of
the government the Chief Executive is bound
faithfully to enforce, and when the wisdom of
the political party which selects one Of its
members as a nominee for that office has out
lined its policy and declared its principles, it
seems to me that nothing in the character of
the office or the necessities of the case re-
quires more from the candidate accepting such
nomination than the suggestion of certain
well-known truths so absolutely vital to the
safety and welfare of the nation that they
cannot be too often recalled or too seriously
enforced.
A PEOPLE s GOVERNMENT.
We proudly call ours government by the
people. 1t is not such when a class is toler-
ated which arrogates to itself the manage
ment of public affairs, seeking to control the
people instead of representing them.
Parties are the necessary outgrowth of our
people when one party fastens its control
upon the country, and perpetuates its power
by cajoling and betraying the people instead
of serving them.
A government is not by the people when a
result which should represent the intelligent
will of free and thinking men is, or can be,
determined by the shameless corruption of
their suffrages.
When an election to office shall be the Sc
lection by the voters of one of their own num-
Der to assume for time public trust instead
of his dedication to the profession of politics,
when the holder of the ballot, quickened by a
sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and
pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall
be altogether free and interrupted, the full
realization of a government by the people will
be at hand
