The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-10-12

ctiLuuAhto OVor pfOuuctlOn on the one
hand or exorbitsnt importations on the
other. The elimination OF eugar boun-
ties saves to the American people nearly
$4,000, 900. II it be said that the new
law in single respect is unduly favor
able to one particular trust. my answer
is that the old favored dozen trusts.
Every man. despite the Republican
statement to the contrary, should un-
derstand that another general or extern
sive tariff revision is not contemplated
by the Democrats. now or in the future.
This determination does not preclade
the desirability OF redeeming, by the
passage OF Especial bills, whatever pledges
we have made in our platform or other
wise for raw materials or the readjust-
ment OF any Objectionable sugar sched-
ule.
mo matter which political party won
in 1892, the tariff revision would have
been necessary. inevitably 30, because
the Mckinley law had broken down,
had collapsed, and had proven utterly
inadequate to meet the necessities OF the
government. The dutiea had beon
placed SO high as to be largely prohibit
tory in effect.
HONEST GOVERNMENT.
II believe in honest government in
nation, state. city and town. and 1 have
no sympathy with fraud or corruption
anywhere. / pledge my best efforts to
uproot rascality wherever il may exist
in our state, and to punish tho offenders
wherever found. If the nomination
which 1 have reluctantly accepted under
circumstances with which you are IA
miliar, shall be ratified by the people, l
shall assume that Office under no obliga-
ton to any ring, machine or political
clique, and free from any entangling
alliances whatever, and with the sole
desire to discharge my duty to the whole
people, according to the best of my
ability.
PARTY DIFFERENCES FORGOTTEN.
ITO party friends have only to say
that party differences shall be forgotten
and that all interests, all oections and
factions shall be treated fairly and alike.
l have consented to make the present
contest not to crafty any personal am
bition, but TO assiat in aiding the Demo
cratic cause which is near to my heart,
and with which have been identified
all my political life. 1 regret
that the very estimsble gentle
men in New York and Brooklyn
have announced their unwiIlingnsas
to give me support at tho election and
express a desire to advocate third
ticket. 1 deplore such action, not on
account of any injustice or result to my
self personally. but for the Democratic
cause which such unwise action imper-
ills. They know as well as | do that this
nomination was not Of my own solicits-
ton, and for week | sought in every
honorable way to be relieved from the
burden and responsibility which it's ac-
ceptsnce imposed. with malice to-
wards none and with charity to all,'
with no word of censure or complaint,
leave them to discharge their duty to
their country and their party according
to their condolences. | do only suggest
and hope that if they cannot consist
support, they will Loyalty support my
Daniel s, Lockwood and Charter II.
Brown [applausel-wh l trust will
consent to the use of their names upon
the third ticket, if a third ticket
there must be, and l am willing to
make any sacrifice of pride, of feeling or
advantage. which will aid the Demo-
cratic cause or any OF it's candidates in
any respect. A united Democratic par
ty in this state will give us the victory.
With honest efforts to poll our full
vote, with a firm reliance upon tine
justice of our cause, let us enter the
contest with a determination that we
can and will place the Democratic party
in the victorious column where it stood
for IL years straight during my former
administration, and where it belongs.
II repeat what 1 said in opening the
campaign in Brooklyn, in September,
1892, in behalf of ocr national standard
bearers, Cleveland and Stevenson: 'To
secure the victory which awaits us we
must organizs-o organize organize >"
