Tre outlook for Cleveland and Hendricks is most glorious. The campfires aré burning brightly . everywhere. Victory is in sight, brethren! | Sexator Voornere delivered an able aqd eloquent address to aboutsix thousa?d Democrats at Plymouth last Friday. Great enthusiasm was manifested.

Tms is a fight against Blaine and corrupt Government, and in favor of Cleveland’ and honest Government. Choose ye! - :

TrnEnE is some talk that the Cameron influence may go to Ben Butler. Old Ben and - pld Simon are very warm fiiends '»p?lrsonallff ; /

Tar public welfare demands'the election of Cleveland and Bendricks. There can be no reform ugder an old corruptionist like' Blaine. ;

Tnose who care only for theé truth, will do well to discredit fully seventyfive per cent, of all the statements made in Republigan p'épers coneerning Cleveland add e’pdricks. Thus far ninetynine per fent. would be, about .the proper figare. - It shfould always be borne in mind thagfhose who did the most for the success of the republican ‘party are the men who protested most earestly against the nomination of Blaine. His unsavory record was considered too heavy aload for any party to‘carry. -t O Rt 5 Freverick MEyer, chief of the great drug house of Meyer Bros., St Louis, hitherto a pronounced and zealous Republican, has declared for Cleveland and -Hendricks. - Mr. Meyer is widely and favorably known throughout Missouri, Kansas, Illinois and Indiana.

Tue duty of the hour is for farmers and workingmen generally to unite in a common cause against their implacable foes—the Bldine and Logan monopolists. They should pull together this year by striking for good” Government, a pure public service, and a better reward for their labor. ;

Ture Democrats ‘of the Thirteenth’ District met at Plymouth iast Friday and unanimously nominated George Ford, of South Bend, for Congress. Mr. Ford is a talented young lawyer and a gentleman of great personal popular- \ ity yThe district is close politically, but Mr. Ford’s election i quite probable, ‘

Tue Republican papers generally, stated last week that Hon, Samuel J. Randall was so greatly dissatisfied with Gov. Cleveland’s letter of acceptance, that he would take no further part in the canvass. Mr, Randall’s attention having been called to this silly falsehood, he promptly came gutin a card that on the very day the lie .was published he took occasion to speak in the highest commendation of * the Cleveland letter, Mr. Randall says he will do all in his power {0 secure Cleveland's election. What will the next lie be? .

- Vurmoxt held her State election last Tuesday. It affords no comfort to the Blaineites. In Presidential years hitherto, Vermont gave republican majoritief, ranging from 23838 in 1876 to 30,554 in 1872. In 1880 Garfield's maJority was 27,251. This year the republican majonity isonly 20,000. The home of Senatoy Edmunds, (Burlington,) gave a democratic majority for the first timne _in twenty-five years. This may serve “as an indication what Semator Ed-

- Takive the Vermont election as‘a criterion, Blaine will carry just seve'l‘x states and no more. ;

'VERY EARLY in the ‘presidential‘campaign we were told that in case Mr. James . Blaing should be elected President of the United Sta‘tes that he would inaugurate ar. “aggressive policy”’ in relation to the rights of American eitizens abroad, and upon questions of our foreign relations generally. This pretence was speedily exploded as a bare-faced assumption by showing his cowardice in submitting to the arrest, imprisopment and insult of American citizens when he was Secretary of State without ever making a protest. We should really like to know how any man could be expected to. inaugurate an aggressive foreign policy, who cannot eyen direct an- aggressive political canvass? Mr. Blame and his friends have been put upon the defensive ever since the campaign opened, and it must be eyident to all that they have made a miserably poor defense. Charge their lines, and keep them defending, Fellow Democrats! ' '

THE BEST COMMENTARY we have met with, respecting Gov. Hendricks’ letter accepting the Vice Presidential nomination, comes from the New ¥ork World. That paper very pointedly says “there/is not a word about the war, the tariff, our foreign relations, the rights of man, or the beauties of nature in the letter. In other words there is nothing for the opposition press to wrestle with, and the disappointment proyvoked by Mr. Cleveland’s brief letter will be in-

tensified in/ that unhappy quatter.” The truth of this suggestion has already beén made gpparent. There being nothing in theletters of our candidates for the opposition to attack, they have begun a new tirade concerning Gov. Cleveland's private character, and Gov. Hendricks’ war record. In the meantime the wonderful effect that was to be produced by the “brilliant” letters of Blaine and Liogan has evaporated into very thin air. ‘Tt has nearly been forgotten that those géentlemen have written letters at all.

Awter ALL the hue and cry which republican politicians have raised about the imaginary revolt of the Tammany Democrats against Gov. Cleveland it turns out, just as every sensible man knew it would, that the so-called revolt existed only in the minds of a class of men who dearly wanted such a revolt to take place. With them the wish was father to the thought. Tammany Hall is now making prepaerations for an immense demonstration in favor of Cleveland and Hendricks, which will eclipse any political meeting that has ever been' held in the United States. 1t will take in the whole of New York Gity simultaneously. The Hon. George F. Roesch, the able German, who represented the Tenth District of the city in- the New York Assembly of 1883, and who is #an adherent of Tammany, has been charged withthe arrangement of the German part of the program, In pursuance of his duty Mr. Roesch reports that he has féund the German Americans of New York practically unanimous .for _Cleveland and Hendricks. L e

Ix taE management of their part of the presidential campaign the Independent Republicans haye laid special stress upon the evidence of 'dishonesty manifested by the actions of*James G. Blaine as speaker,of the House of Representatives, in ‘connection with the Little Rock and Fort Smith railroad, as shown by the lecters addressed to Mr. Fisher, and his conduct in retaining the letters handed him for examination by Mr. Mulligan in violation of his - promise to return them. This chapter in the career.of My~ Blaine is blacker than anything that has yeb appeared in the action of any other of our public men. When shown up by Republicans, the effect is startling, and honest men demand explanation before they will support such a candidate.. Senator Hoat, of Massachusetts, attempted an explanation, but the New York Evening Post says the effect .of his e¢xplanation has been to “‘convince thousands of persons previously undecided to reluctantly conclude that Mr. Blaine is not an honest man.” SR ;

It 1s REMARKABLE to note the great number of eminent scholars, teachers, ministers of the gospel and men of eminence generally in avenues of life not connected with political service, who have declared in favor of the election of Cleveland and Hendricks. Almost daily we find additions to this class of people, who have avowed such a preference. During the past week the Rev. Edward -Eggleston, the well-known theological writer, addressed a letter to the Independent Republican National Convention, in which he said: “No reasonable man, not blinded by - party zeal, can doubt, it seems to me, that Grover Cleveland is the man-most likely to administer the Government in such a way as to leave it better and mnot worse than it js now. To put the administration of a reform civil service into the hands of the republican nomi-. nee, is to set ‘an experienced fox to watch the poultry yard.” This expression is at once forcible and unique, and fitly illustrates the regard in which Sames G. Blaine figures for his honor and honesty in the minds of the very best element of our citizenship.

Now, who dare to say that Benjamin Franklin Jones, the chairman of the National Republican Committee, is not a genius? He has discovered a novel method for squeezing “voluntary contributions” out of Government employes, so as to evade the civil service law, His new mode is to procure the publication . of n illustrated newspaper, in the interest of the republican party of course, which is to he cireunlated as a campaign document. The civil service law does not forbid depart: ment clerks from subscribing for newspapers, so every subordinate in the Government service is to be politely informed that he js expected to “voluntarily” subscribe for as many copies of the new party organ as will amount to ten per cent. of their wages. The thoney so raised is to be_paid into the coffers of the National - Committee, under whose auspices the-new pictorial is to be managed and published. We have not yet been informed what disposition is to be made of those obtuse clerks who are so gelf-willed as to refuse to subscribe for the, new paper. They will e D B SR e YA o e e

- Tue Issues of the campaign appear to have been materially altered during two months. At the start the erying cause of objection to Gov. Cleveland, was that he had hung two murderers with his own hands, while serving as sheriff of Erie county, New York, and had hired‘a substitute when he was drafted into the army. For some reason these terrible objections to the demoeratic candidate have been permitted to drop out of sight. The Maria ‘Halpin s¢andal appears likely te share the same fate. The want of success which bas so far attended the manufacture| of campaign sensations against Cleveland and Hendricks has been dreadfully discouraging in -Republican quarters. Itis high time that some new story was inyented. Can’t somebody start the rumor that Cleveland carries off the body of A. 'T. Stewart, or that Hendricks caused the recent bank failures at Indianapolis?

Now that Secretary Chandler has succeeded in sinking ‘the war vesdel TallaEoosa, in which he recently went off on 3 junketing tour, perhaps he may find time to resume his correspondence with Gov. Hendricks.. The people will be edified by receiving another “open letter” from the gallant head of the naval service. -We think we can safely prowmise that it will receive instant attention without waiting nearly two months as Mr. CHandler has done. - By the way, we might inquire just here, whether Mr. Chandler means to indemnify the government for the loss of the Fallapoosa? He was usingr the vessel for his personal pleasure when she went to the bottom. When a'man borrows a horse from a neighbor, and manages to kill the animal, he commonly has it to pay for. Government property. ought to be regulated by the same rule that operates with reference to private property. e

TAXES AND LABUR.

The republican party oppuoses a re duciion 'of the taxes which burden tfe industry of the country. ¢ -

Its candidate for Presideut in his letter of acceptance defends the policy of keeping up unnecessary taxss. - In a letter published within the last two yvears Mr. Blaine advocated the distribution’ of, the surplus revenues among the several States. _ : It is incredible that any sehsible workingman, any intelligent farmer, mechanic or tradesmar, is willing to contribute to the sucesss of a party or a candidate whose principles and aims areiso inimical to the common iunterests of the people. : Nearly if not quite 2 hundred millions of unuecessary‘ taxes are annually ‘wrung trom the people of the Uunited States and these taxes come out of the puckets of the consumers, including of comrss every workingman iu the land, '

How lung can the country stand this terrible drain? How long will the people be able to endure this fearful draft upon their resources ? Already a financial ciisis threatens. The list of bankrupts is beirg swelled every day. The wages of labor are forced down in order that capital may endure its part of the burden. Shall this stupid -and miserable policy be continued ? .If not, then J, G. Blaine must be defeated aud:-the sooner the toiling millious sct at.out the 'work of defeating him the better it will be for themselves aund their country.—Harrisburg Puatriot.

NOMIﬁATING LOOSE M&TERIAI‘ FOR

CONGRESS. (Huntington Democrat.)

Who ‘doubts for a moment that the Republican party, under its present leadership is on the down grade and it mstters but littlé what these leaders do or who they seleet to carry the party banner, the organs‘of that party, as a rule, endorse it all. The evidence of this is in the nomination of T. P. Keator for Congress over such men s Judges Taylor, Morrison, Ninds and Col. Robertson, of Fort Wayne. The trio of editors in this city are jubilant over Keator’s success, and the Wabash Plain Dealer goes into ecstacy over the event, and says: - : : “The many friends of the brilfiant politician ('T. P. Keator) are highly p!eas'ed at the honor conferrsd upon him.”

Inreferring to this item ot the Piain Dealer, Thad Butler of the Andrews Express outlines a list of the “highly pleased,” as follows: -

< “Am(;ng the number we supp'ose ‘may be mentioned Judge Knight, who was victimized to the tune of several hundred dollars; L. H. Fougeres who holds the sack for over $lOO rent ‘money; Felix Fougeres, grocer; Drs. Smith & Blount; Mrs. Newman, proprietor of the Tremont Houss; J, H. Pleas, the bagtcher; County Auditor Haszen, County Recorder Dicken, Dr. J. 'H, Ford, A. M. Atkinson, B. F. Willixms, H. F. Wood, Asa Ross, W. S. Stitt, Magy Good, J. V. Straughn, Philip Soutbwick, and scores of reputable citizecs who have bsen sufferers from-his disbonssty. The Plain Dealer may do no violence to its own ideas of business honor when it gives Mr, Keator a certificate of character, ‘but it does not reflsct the views of the leading Republigens of Wabash, who almost upanimously denounaece. his selection for any public pesition as a shame and disgrace to the Republican party.” : . What. & specimen and what a spectacle is presented to the country in the nomination of Bucket Shop Doxey, Gardeu- Seed Steele and Gun Works Keator. All Republicans who refise to be a paity in sending such men to Cougress we ‘invite their attention to Judge Waid, q’f Lafayette, the opponent of Doxey, M«j. M. H. Kidd, of Wabash, the opponent of Steele, and to Judgé Robert Lowry, of Fort Wayne, the opponert of Keaior,

TAKING CARE OF THEIR OWN.

It must be admitted that both of the candidates upon the republican presidential ticket are exceedingly prudent men in the matter of taking care of their personal interests, and of those persons who are nearly allied to them by ties of consanguinity. We have not been able to find that either Mr. Blaine. or Mr. Logan have exerted themselves greatly to provide comfortable . berths for their relatives in any of the depart‘ments of private life, but Mr. Blaine has done his level best to build up‘a gigantic private fortune for himself at the expense of the toil, and sweat, and comfor t of his employes, while Gen. Logan has pensioned all of his poor relatives very successfully upon the Governmeént. . : - John Swinton, the widely-known labor advocate, has been making an examination of the statements which have mmmhedfromﬁmmﬁmwmi effect that Mr. Blaine had paid the

miners, employed at his West Virginia mines, only the lowest scale of wages, and he has given the result of his investigation in his own newspaper. Mr. Swinton challenges Mr. Blaine “to deny that he cut down the wages of his Black Hole mines in West Virginia to sixtyfive cents per day,” and goes on to say that his corporation was guilty of “piling up fabulous dividends at the expense of the miners,” by the means of this reduction of the prices of Jaber. Mr. Swinton adds this action on the pait of Mr. Blaine ‘“has given him a strong claim upon the support of all the corporations of Pennsylvania, and all the capitalists of the country.” It seems to be pretty well understood in labor circles, that all wealthy corporations have formed an alliance not only for the increase of the profits of their business, but for the further purpose of cutting down the wages of workmen to the lowest rates upon which they possibly sustain life. In this business Mr. DBlaine has been among the first and foremost in depreciating the ruling prices of labor by making forced reductions to sixty-five cents per day of the wages paid to the miners employed in his West Virginia coal pits.

While Mr. Blaine has expanded the profits of his mining operations at the expense of his workmen, Mr, John A. Logan has taken another and equally efficacious method of ' advancing the worldly interests of the Togan family; and all connge'ed therewith, by making them pensioners upon Government botnty. Perhaps Mr. Logan ha§ no mixing stock, so'it bécame necessary to provide for him and his in another but an equally efficacious mode. He has engaged in the business of office brokerage with marked success, not exceeded even by General Grantin the day of his pomp and power. The official records shows the following list of office-holders of the Logan family, their relatives and immediate friends : < - i

Cornelins A. Logan, cousin to GenLogan, Minister to Chili. . . W. F. Tucker, Jr., son-in-law of Gen. Logan, paymaster in the United States Armv, - ¢ : :

John Alexander Logan, Jr., son of the General, cadet at the Weest Point Military Academy. - et

John M. Cunningham, brother-in-law of Gen. Logan, Lieutenant of the 9th Infantry of the U. S. Army, appointed from the civil list.

-Samuel S. Errett, also a brother-in-law of Gen. Logan, assistant superintendent of the Yellowstone Patk. -

Cyrus Thomas, a third brother-in-law of General Logan, Ethnologist of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington. Miss Viola Thomas, niece of Greneral Logan and daughter of the Etnologist named above, clerk in the treasury department. L :

Miss Susie Cunningham, sister-in-law of General Logan, also clerk in the treasury department. . 4 James Cunningham; a fourth brother-in-law of Gen. Logan, Inspegtor of the Chicago Custom House. 1 ; ' James M. Liogan, a brother of Gen. Logan, Postmaster at Murphysboro, Tliitnois. ’

~ Edward Hill, nephew of Gen. Logan, Deputy Marshal for the southern district of Illinois. . ¢

Enoch Blanchard, also a nephew of Gen, Logan, Clerk in the Railway Postal Service. ! :

Miss Mollie K. Jenkins, a niece of Gen. Logan, clerk in tlie Marine Hospital Service. ' ‘Miss Mary H. Bradly, cousin of Mrs. Logan, clerk in*he Treasury' Department. .

Daniel Shepherd. a former private secretary of Gen. Logan, Assistant Postmaster at Chicago. : “ Beach Taylor, also a former secretary of Gen. Logan, clerk in the U. S. Senate. : T i

Louis Norris, a former servant of Gen. Liogan, Messenger in the Interior Department. : 8 : It is proper to say that it'is not known that the last three named persons are in“any.way related to the Logan family. But looking over . the whole list i we venture to express a doubt whether ‘rthere is any other man, now in public life, who has so persistently used the influence of his public position for the weal of his kith and kin 8o effectually,as Gen, Logan seems to have dome. All these appointments have been the result of favoritism, and are direct violations of the spirit if not the express letler of the civil service act, which is so loftily eulogized by republican orators and editors. If any of the Logan family have managed to escape from public service we have not been able to learn the fact, except in the case of Tom Logan, of Carbondale, Illinois, the General's eldest brother, who contumaciously adheres to the democratic party, and so has been left. out in the cold. i o

With the Logan family Esnugly quartered upon the Government in direct violation of the principles of the civil service act, and Blaine amassing a massive fortune by means of the most outrageous system of inadequate wages doled out of his employes, we are inclined to ask, can the republican party be honest in their advocacy of civil service reform, and their pretensions of protection afforded .to American labor? These are the main issues they present before the country upon which they ask to be continued in the control of the administration of the Government, e

One of their candidates in his daily actions violates the principle of protection to the workman, while the other by his public record has trampled the rules of civil service reform under foot. Blaine and Logan have both been weighed in balances and found wanting. A

- CLEVELAND LETTER.

_ The hmm‘ium;eumaays nerves, that we hay@lireaded anything more taxing than our ordinary duties. But this morning, August 22, came to 1s with the promised cool wave from Manitoba, and wg,‘;‘mm _ourselves for a day outside the Lodge. Theride along our beautifal avenues was most exhilerating, The wind came in soft, cool courses'to.-t@;%py scorched and wearied workmen, and lent a fresh tint to the cheeks of all who sought this one sweet balgg nature—a: cool breeze in midsummer. The trees, the bl!?d?!, the people, all seemed impregnated with new life, and it was an easy mautter tofollow onmanch of the busy multitude which érowded two lines of sireet cars to their utmost capacity, and look again upon an encampment of soldiers. A (&;J.n camp! Ona beautiful elevatiob overlooking the lake and city, are pitched the tents of oyer 3,000 eoldiers, sud here we took up ihe lines leading back and out of the happy present to the long ago, when then: as to-day we gathered in the camping ground of our State militia. To-day the bugle call brings out a crowd of gallant men who show ro tremor of expectat®n 1o their marching, but whose every move is simply an echo to discipliné. The bands array themselves in line and play in asomewhat monotonous style the music of to-day, while our bearts are beating to “ma: chihg \,ﬁkﬁworgia." and othér airs whickHrévevived by tire sight-of these many tents, and stscks of arms all around us. The various regiments and different companies are well organized, and each have comfort able, even some what artisticaccommodations. The guards patrel on the various boundaries—and guards also meet you at certain avenues lying between certain rows of tents— and the word “halt!” with a printed bouquet thrust at many an unwary pedestrian, caused much mirth to said guards, and blushes and annoyance to the intruders. Eating and drinking establishmwents forma striking part of the encampment, and cholera and phantoms are lurking in' barrels of poisonous “summer drinks,” and festering in car loads of stale fruit of all kinds. Yeb the multitude rush hither and thither, seeming to be always either eating or drinking, and we are silent before this display of such extreme force. The tents, the soldiers, the roar of artille—ry, the beating cf drums—the bugle call—all awaken the thoughts of man’s action when the elements of our outer life become troubled, and storms beat upon our ghip of State, or dissention bubbles in municipal quarters, then the call to arms, and we go out brothers against brothers to fight! The rustle of elegaut drésses, the wave of hundreds of faus, the flutter of myriads of dainty bandkerchiefs, the many handsome carriages, all these tell of a time’of peace, and that all this ‘parade’ is but the seeming, only an echo of that long ago when as to-day we stood and watched the “dress parade” of thousands of our boys in blue. The old regiments are but :in name, and under a tattered flug we looked in vain for a remembered face. But we felt the “invisible” foreces, marching by us at all points and knew that they were only “bivouacke&xpon a higher plain than this beautiful hill overlooking Lake Erie.

We sing about “fames eternal camping ground,” but far neaver and dearer to the dear ones who are still “marching on” to the melody of life’s dearest embition, love. of home, love of ceuntry. of love God.is the reflex to-day of our appreciation and remembradce of those who gave thair life, that others might live. and ours indeed be “‘the Jand of the free, the home of the brave!” The day has been one we scarce can write of, because the cup from which we have tried to drink has been so full we could scarcely put it to our lips, and the overflow has drenched our hearts with waves of memory which dash over the stormy past and fall on the paaceful present with a music which chimes 8o tenderly with our inner life that we cannot | like it all, because the outer life has died a tortured,.painful death—and the inner life seems only an embryo—gcarcely a voice that cdn be heard in the whirl and care of our actual living. We turn away from the encampment with strong surges from the past to the beyond, and while laughter, jest and wit beguile one little party, the heart echoes only to the vibrating of the lines which bind the external to the inner life, and brings a restful thought that after all we are only “camping out,” and soon the bugle call of the angel of Eternal Rest, shall call us to the roll cail or at least a surrender of this. knap-sack of flesh which becomes a burden grievous to be borne, signs the parole of freedom to the spirit, and we pass out to “join the innumerable .carayan” whose silent footsteps echo so clearly upon the border lands of our expectations. We wander slowly down the hill and the music oo camp follows as .a sublime benediction upon this day of days, and we look cut over the valley to the beautiful city with its | wealth of industry, its homes of elegance and its palaces of health, to the great blue watér beyond blazing like a sea of gold beneath the setting sun, and our hearts sing the low, soft requiem over the dead past, and chimes to the happy thoughts of our friend whose voice is full of the strong desires of to-day, the glad hopes of the future. At thiefoot of the hill we look back upon the city of tents, the glistening bayonets, the immense artillery, and frame there a picture to be hung sacredly in the gallery of to-day’s memories. A short delay at the little station and soon the train comes apd in a few momepts we are landed at ‘the gates of the Lodge, where we enter in tired, faint and so dusty, yet the impulse of the will 1s stronger than the flesh, 8o we rest the body with the | ‘expression of mind and close a busy day with an hour’s solitude, framing | and putting away a scene to be recall | ed perhaps after another 20 years of constant change.

To the Publie.

mnas Deen reported by some unprincipled individuals that myself ‘and brother,« Thomas Bly, bad renounced ‘Democracy and had come out for J. G. Blaine. This assertion is without the least foundation whatever, as we could under no circumstances support the mdividual who for the past 80 years has been the enemy ot my race and the leader of Know-Nothingism.

—lf the Blaine Republicans want to discuss ﬂény letters, suppose theéy turn their attention rather nvore to Mulligan and less to Morey.— New York Sun. —General Logan, {4n his: recent speeches, abundantly justified his title to the belt as the champion word butcher of the age.—Kunsas Cily Star. | —The Fishers are rather Iprominent in the %)resent campaign. The candidacy of Butler revives recollections of Fort Fisher, and that of Blaine is fragrant with interesting memories of “My Dear Mr. Fisher" ’ G —The Republican managers should not fail to add Muss ITalpin to the numerous attractions of the campaign circus. © A double. trapeze act by t%le, famous widow and the renowned tattooed man would ‘always bring down the house. o

—lt is very unfortunate for Mr. ‘Blaine that the Commercial Advertiser, one more of his three New York or‘gans, should reduce the wages of its printers just now. - We believe, however, that it.refuses to yield to -any body in its love for the workingman. —Blaine, aged 31; strong dnd_vigorous, did not carry a musket, but hired a substitute ' who never saw a battlefield. Blaine, lobbying in Washington, was intent only upon lining his own chket, and was then engaged in what recame a business with him—moneymaking. *He made no sacrifices; it isdoubtful whether he paid for his substitute; and it is even suspected that he reaped a profit from his “war” record.—New York Herold. -

‘—The efforts made at Augusta to secrete the evidence by concealing the files of the Kennebec Journal for the- - during which that paper was edited by Mr. Blaine have utterly failed o. their purgose. There is a set: of the files'right here in Boston, and the “torents of living English which he (Mr. Blaine) pouréd out atthat time” in calling immigrants who sought a home here “convicts and felons,” will: be allowed to‘flow.— Boston Glof)e. —Commenting on Butler and Kelly, the Louisville Courier-Journal (dem.) says: “We believe the party can suc-. eeed without them. Inthenomination ! of Cleveland it hag appealed to the patriotic instincts of ithe people, and the . issue is made so clearly, so unmistakably, that it canmot be made in vain. Cleveland has a spotless record as a public officer. lle has been true to all the obligations his public trusts have ¢ imposed. He is in direct, sympathy with the working classes, and has guarded their interests with both zeal and diseretion. No' candid man ecan read his state papers, his addresses, messagess vetoes, and goint to one act or’ one suggestion that was aimed againust the rights and privileges of the people—the hard-working, ‘long-suffer--Ing people of this'country. lle has vetoed bills urged in behalt of thqu'onkingnien because, as he clearly showed, they would fail to accomplisly the purpose intended.” . i e ;

-—The Hartford Times remarks: “The Clevelands are a good race; we in Connecticut know them here at home. There is ex-Gov. Chauncey F. Cleve: land, of Windham county, one of the best governors Connecticut ever had, a noble man and a much-esteemed citizen, still livin%, in his hale and hearty old age; one of the r(—mminingl men of the day when men of marked character were oftener found. in proportion to population, thah now. Theye,. too, was his .brother, Mason: yévelan_d‘, once the state comptroller; man of sterling character, strong good sense, and excellent practical judgment. He was a man of marked and 'stron%haracter, honorably and very widely known at home, notwithstanding his modesty, but greater yet than his reputation. There are such men; not lpud, or selfvaunting, but of sferling character, though of "few words, and Mason Cleveland’s'younger cousin, the New Yorkgovernor, who now'stands so prominently before the country,-seems to be ong of the number.. His firmness has been shown in his fidelity to his own convictions of ri%ht_and justice, even ‘when it brought him in conflict with his own friends. His much-discussed vetoes were born of that characteristic.” — - GENERAL MARKETS. ,
