CLEVELAND'S LETTER. An Able Paper, Recognizing the Needs of the Country—-He Be- lieves in a Government by the People, and Favors a One term Presi- dency-Just Pled- ges to Labor Ausaxy, N. Y., Aug, 190.—The follow ing was received to day by Colonel La-| mont, secretary to Governor Cleveland who is at Upper Saranac Lake, with in structions to make it public on its re ceipt : Ausaxy, N, Aug. 18, I have received your « Y,, tlemen aommuni cation dated Jaly 28th, 1884, informing | the office of me of my nomination to president of the United States by the national democratic convention lately | the | wssembled at Chicago. | nomination with a grateful appreciation accept of the supreme honor conferred and a solemn sense of the responsibility which | nits acceptance | assume, I have carefully considered the plat form adopted by the convention and cordially approve the same, ald which that psrty ap tatement of democ: faith and the principles upon peals to the suffrsges of the people needs no supplement or explanation [t should be remembered that the office of president is essentially executive in is nature, legislative branch of the government the chief executive is bound faithfully to enforce, and when the wisdom of the political party which selecis one of its office Las outlined its policy and declsred its members as a nom'nea for that principles, it seems to me that nothing in the character of the office or the ne cessities of the case requires more from the candidate accepting such nomina ion than the suggestion of certain well known truths so absolutely vital to the nation that they cannot be too often recalled or too enforced. We proudly call ours a government safety and welfare of the eriously { served and ! both be advanced, | yet as a means { ly entitled to our field of labor, | I male | should be proteq ted | peaceab'y essert their rights when { dangered by aggregated capital aod all | statues on this subject | the eare of the state for honest | be framed with a view of improving the | condition of the | ernment { those which ¢ So plain a | five to the moral sentiments of the ¢ The laws enacted by the | Ly the people. It is not such when a class is tolerated which arrogates to it self the management of public affairs seeking to control the people instead of representiog them. Parties are the nee essary oulgrowth of our institutions, but a government is not by the people when one party fastens its control upon the country and perpetuates power by cajol ing and betraying the paople instead of | serving them. A government is not by the people when a result which should represent the will of free and thinking men is or can be determin. ed by the shameless corruption of their suffrages. When an election to office shall be the selection by the vo- ters of one of their number to asums ! for a time a public trust instead of his dedication to the profession of polities, when the holders of the ballot, quicken: od by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffrage shall be altogether free and uncorrupted, the full realization of a government by the peopls will be at hand ; and of the means to this end not one would, in my judgment, be more effective than sn amendment to the constitution disqualifying the president from re-election. When we consider the patronage of this grest office, the allurements of power, the temptation to retain public places once gained, and, more than all, the availability a party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of office holders, with a zeal born of bene- fiis received and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the president for re-election a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a govern ment by the intelligent | dinates | allowed todo (aestionable party people, A true American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil, Contented labor is an element of national prosper. ity. Ability to work constitutes the capital and the wages of labor the in- coms of a vast number of our popula tion and this interest should be jealous ly protected. Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable indulgence, but as intelligent and manly citizens they seek the same consideration which those de. mand who have other interests at stake, They should receive their full share of of who make and execute the laws, to the end that the wants and needs of the employ: ers snd the employed shall alike be ob. the care and attention those the common heritage of As related to this | subject, while we should not discourage the immigration of those who came to acknowledge allegiance to our govern: { ment and add to our citizen population of protection to our { workingmen a different rule should pre- vail concerning those, if they come or srtion, except o > eo ts su hal iy | SarHion, satept ou Yearly couttuels, When Dalf-ynrly | are brought to our land, who Poriricar Novices, 15 cents per line each insertion | do intend to become American citizens, but nat | will injuriously compete with those just In a letter excepting the nomination to the office of governor nearly two years ago the following statement, | which I have steadily adhered ; The laboring clases main part of our population, in their constitu'e en. should recogn wWorkingmen, A proper regard for the welfare of th | ing ted with the tutions none ol workingmen inseparably neq integeity of o ir our citizens are mm terested then they infl in guarding sg rrupting riences which seek to vert the beneficent purposes and n should ne watchful of the artful machiaa those who allure them to sel {injury { in, In a free country the curtailment of the should only be such as is the absolute rights individu essential the peace and good order of the ¢ noma. nity.

They have learned that wystery and concealment in the management of their affairs cover trickery and betrayal, The states manship they require consists in hon esty and frugality, a prompt response to the neods of the people as they arise and vigilent protection of all their varied interests.

Several neighbors were thereupon aroused snd a dimal party with lanlerns was soon se.rching the gloomy road between the farmhouse and Yorktown. Mr, Sickler guided the party tothe spot where he had last seen the girl. Leading the party was Mr. Watson, who suddenly halted, with a heart breaking exclama- tion : “Mother | mother ! there is her dress I" The mother trembling in every limb, ran to where the father, with a white face, was pointing a hand shaking like an aspen, Some one threw the light of a lantern upon abody lying among some bushes several feet from the road sile. Mrs Watson gazed, with acry of horror, into the ghastly face of her dead daughter, which though blackened and bloody, could be distinguished at a glance. The body was lying partly up. on the back, and a portion of it was hid. den from view by a dense growth of underbush, Mrs. Watson was lod away and the men dragged the corpse out upon the roadside, Sheriff Coles, of Salem, was sent for, and Coroner Goforth was summoned from Woodstown, The latter arrived with Dr.L.
