t of Maine duvifjj the
'many years he has been before the
'A'meiican people, we knew full well
IhaVsnch un issue must prove a disas
trous failure to the Republican paity.
So soon as his public, official acts were
"passed before the people for review,
Blaine wes immediately placed upon
the defensive and Vie campaign instead
b: a rigorous, aggressive warfare cn hi3
part was marked by weakness ir.ctii
"Jctency, subterfuge and special pleading.
r Tho high-toned moral journals of' the
Republican party disgusted with the
nauseating spectacle which the official
record cf the Maine statesman presented
ito the publicview immediately deserved
their standard-bearer, feeling that the
lonntry would n t be safe in the keep-
ins of a man who would use liis official
position for personal aggrandizement.
The Blaine managers disheartened at
ibe'r f ulureand driven to desperation
iat the turn affairs had taken, in order
to escape fibm lhc di'omr.a in whith
their c andidate and paliy were placed,
lesirted to the dire necessity of mud-
jslinging. Thinking to divert pub'ic
attention from the shortcomings o:
tVir own candidate and to blind the
:yes of the public from the effect of the
rctrd h h;id ma le for himself, devised
that stnpid slander about Grover Cleve
land which such a high-toned paper as
the Oregonian constantly parades in its
columns dressed up to itilt the tastes
; and appetites of low depraved scandal-
The way tlH nauseating and
dose of sedation and mud-
ainging is viewed by sensible people is
:antlv illustrated by Frank Pixley in a
recent nnmner or the Argonaut, lie
says: "These slandrrs against Cleveland
ought t interest no one but the gossips
and nr. 1 hens for whose special delec-
.titieu they are doubtless invented. So
irany of our great men from Washing-
n down through Jefferson, Hamilton,
Burr. Webster, Clav, Fessenden, Sum

Cleveland's Letter of Acceptance- "
On the 19th Governor Cleveland
sent his fownal letter of acceptance to
the committee who informed hrm or
his nomination for President. The let
ter is a brief, terse, straight-forward,
stalesmarilike acknowledgement of the
honor ! conferred and the responsil.il i
tips which attach to t!ie position. Un
like the plumed knight, it is devoid of
all special pleading and mystification
by meaningless words. Every syllable"
and sentence is encased in the mailed
armor; of true statesmanship; so perfect
is the entire letter that the attacks of
the Blaine and Butler organs fall like
brokea wands before the trenchant
blade of trutn, -which is emblazoned on
every line and sentence. He cordially
approves ot the platform adopted at
Chicago; fearlessly discusses the neces
sity of economy in the administration
of the government, and he duty of the
DSHCUB1TI0 FLATTOEMJ
The Deniocntij party of the Union, through Its
representatives in National Convention assembled,
recognizes that as tho nation grows older new issues are
born of time and progress, and old issues perish, but
the fundamental principles of Democracy, approved
by the united voice of the people, remain, aud will
ever Feni'vhi, us the beit and oaiy security for the
con'iuuAtn-e office government. The pre-ervaiinn of
person d righti, the equality of all citizens before the
la-v,tiw reserved rights of the states, and the supre
niauy of the Federal Government within the limits of
the Constitution, will ever form the true baits of our
lioerties, and can never be surrendered without de
stroying chit balancs of righti and powers which en
able'? a continent to be develoied in peace aud social
order to be maintained by means of loc.il sel'-govern-ment.
But it is indispensable, for the practical applica
tion and enforcement of these fan.iameMtal prin
ciples, that tho Government should not always be
controlled by ous poliiicil party. A frequent change
of aduiuistrtion is as !is-es3ary as the constant re
current to the popular will; otherwise, abuses grow,
and the Government, instead of being carried on for
the ;ener:il welt ire, ba jouicj an instru:nentalit for im
posing heavy burdens Ji' the rtiiiy,who re governed
for the beae.1t of the few who noveru. Public ser
vants thus become arnitrary rulers.
This is now the condition of the country,
tlence a clnui'4 is rlema.idel. The Republican
;itv; so f.ir as principle is concerned, is a
rf minlSvonce; in practice, it- is " an organiza
tion for enriching those who control its ui:t-t-liinery.
Tho fraud3 and jobbery which have been
brought to li-jht in every dep riioent of the Govern
meat are su;ii;ieat to have called for reform within
the UepubUcan party; yet those in ' authority, made'
reokless by tho kog p issessioa of power, hvo suc
cumbed to its con uytin influen'O, and have placed
in nomination a ticket atrainst which, the independent
portion of the party are in oj-en revolt. Therefore a
change is demanded. Such a change was alike neces
sity i i 170, but the wiil of the people was then de
feated by a fr.ud, which can never be forgotten nor
condoned. -gii:i in 1W0 the chinye demanded by
the people was defeated by the lavish ue of money,
contributed by uiwcrupuiom wnti-aetors and shame
less jot-bsra, who had bargained for unlawful profits,
or for hih ofSoe.
Tho Ke' ubiiosn party, da rtaar its lejal, its
stolen, aid its .bought tenures of power, ut
sta'lily decayed iu moral character mil political

past failures. It demands the restoration of our

and harbors and with a maste mind
reviews the all absorbing labor ques
tion. lie says:
"True American sentiment recognizes
the dignity of labor, and the fact that
honor lies in honest toil. Contented
labor is an clement of national pros
perity; ability to work constitutes the
capital, and the wages of labor the in
come of a vast number cf our popula
tion, and this interest should be jeal
ously protected. Our working men
are not asking unreasonable term3, but
a intelligent citizens thev seek the
s.rme consideration which those demand
who have other interests at stake.
They should receive their full share of
the; care and attention of those who
make and execute the laws, to the end
that the wants and the needs of the
employers and employes should alike
b subserved, and the prosperity cf the
country, the commoa heritage of both,

sire to elevate labor; ithau subjected American work
ingmen to th competition of convict and imported

larities of our tariff; it created and has continued
them. In own tariff eommiss.on enfes-jed the need
of more than 20 pes- cent, reduction; it Congress gave

protection of American manufacturer ; it has sub

professes to protect all American industries; it has
impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes
the protection of Amvric.m labor; it has depleted the

regard to the preservation of the faith of the nation,
to its creditors and pensioners; knowing full well,
however, that legislation affecting the occupations
of the people should be cauti.iin and conser
vative in method, not in advance of public
opinion, but responsive o its demands, the Demo
cratic party is pledged to revise th-j tariff in a spirit of
fairness to all interests; but in making a reduction in
taxes, it is not proposed to injure any domestic indus
tries but rather top-omotet!ic:rhea.thy ferowtb. From
te foundation of this oovernmentt:ie taxes collected
at the Custom-house have been the chief source of
Fedcr.il revenue. Such they mass continue to be.
Moreover, many ind'tstne have como to rely upon
legi-Ution for a successful conUr.uanca, sr that any
:hangc f law must be at even step regardful of labor
and capital thus involved. The process of reform
must be subjoet in its execution to this plain dictate
of justice All taxation shall bo iitaited to the re-
quirctneut of ati eiotiouiiaal Govcrnrent. The
necessary rc-iaction iu tts-ttioi can and must be aJ

without impoMnsr lower ites of duty than will he

prevailing in this country. Sufficient revenue to pay
all the expenses "f 'ha Federal (.iovemmcnt econom

principal of the p:b.-ic debt, can be got under our
present system of taxation from Custom-house taxes
on fewer imported article?, bearing the heaviest on
articles of luxury and hearing lightest on articles of
necessity. We thercfre denounce the abuses of the
existing tariff aid subject to preL-e-jlinglimitatioti, we
demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purposjr', andsh'jll not exceed the needs of tha
government i-co:toniically adnvniritered. 'I'he system of

We favor an Ame.'iean continental polbv, based

with the fift-jen S'ster Republic of N.rth, C'ent;al and
South America, but entangling alliances with none.
We believe in honest money the g M and sii-er

Asserting the e'piaHv of all men before the law
we hold that it is the duty of the Goveixment, in
dealings with the people, to mete out equal and exact,
justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity," race, col
or or persuasion, religions or political.
We brieve in a ir'st ballot and a fair count, and
we recall ti the memory of the people the noble
struggle of the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For-tv-sixth
Congresses, by which a relucttnt Republican
opposition was compelled to assent to legislation
making everywhere illegal the presence of troops at
the polls the conclusive proof that a Democratic
administration will preserve liberty with order. Tho
selection of Federal officers for the Territories should
be restricted to citizens previously resident thereof.
We oppose sumpt uary laws, which vex tho citizens
and intufero with individual liberty.
We favor an honest civil service reform in compen
sation of all United Slates olllcos by ixed 3-laries. the
separation of Church and State, and ihe diffusion of

We believb that labor is best rewarded wharo it is
freest and most enlightened. It should be fost -red
and Lherished. We favor the repeal of all the laws
restraining the free action of labor, and the enact
ment of laws by which labor organizations may be
increased, and of all such lenlati u ai will tend to
enlighten the people as to the Arue relations of cap
ital and labor.
We believe that the public lands ought, as far as
possible, to be kept as home ts td. for actual settlers;
that all unearned lands heretofore impro.vidontly
granted to railroad corporations by the Kepubliiran
patty should be r? store a to the public domain, and no
more grants s-hail be made to corporations, or be al
lowed to fall into tho ownership of alie.i absentees.
We are oojiosed to all prma-Hions which, upon any
pretext, would convert tho general Government into
a machine for the collection of taxes to be distributed

Under a lom poriod of Denaoc .-atic rule and policy
our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on the
noint. of outtrini)ii:w. that of Great Britain. Under 20
rears of Reuubucau rule and policy our commerce has
been left to Rritish bottoms and almost has the Ameri
can Hay been swept off the hitch seas. Instead of
tBa Republican party's British policy, we demand
for the peoplo of the United States an American policy.
Under Democratic rule and policy our merchants and
sailors flying the stars and stripes in every port, suc
cessfully searched out a market for the varied pro
ducts of American industry.
Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule
and policy, . despite our manifest advantages over
all other nations in high-paid labor, favorable
climates and teeming soils despite the freedom of
trade among all these United States, despite their
nonulation bv the foremost races of men and an an
nual immigration of the young, thrifty and adventur
ous of all nations: despite our freedom here from in.

world monarchies, their costly war navies, their vast ta x
consuming non-producing standing armies, despite 20
years of peace, tnat ttepuDtican nueaaa poucy uave
managed to surrender to Great Britain, along with
our commerce, the control of the markets of the
world, lustead of the Republican party's British policy,
We demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an
American policy; instead of the Republican party's
discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to
American laber. expressed by imposing taxes, we de
maud in behalf of the Democracy, freedom for Amer
ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these
United States inay compete with unhindered powers
for primacy among nations in all Uie arts of peace
and fruits of liberty. . ;
With profound regret we have been apprised by the
venerable statesman, through whose person ws struck
that blow at the vital principle of the republic ac-
ouie-wertce in the Will of the majority that he can
not permit jas again to pla.-e in his hands the leader
