.-Cleveland a Friend to Labor.
Grover Cleveland, the Democratic
tstandat -d-hearer, was lora in CaMwell,
Esspx county, New Jersey, on March
18th, 1837. His father Richard Cleve
1 ind, was p-istor of the Presbyterian
church, at that place, at the time of his
,irth. His mother was a Mips Annie
Neal of Baltimore, Maryland. When
lie was three years old his parents re
moved to Fayetteville, Onondago
county, New York; here Grover Cleve
land lived until he was 11 years of age.
During the time he attended the vil
lage school, and the academy for a short
t'me. Before he had completed Ms
vottrse at the academy,he was appren
ticed at the village store at a salary
t)f fifty dollars for the first year, and
one hundred dollars for the second rear
In the meantime his father and fanily
had moved to Clinton, the peat of
Hamilton college, where Grover joined
the family before the expiration of the
Bcond year in the store, and resumed
his studies at the Clinton academy.
His father was called from here to the
village church of Holland Patent. He
preached there only a month when he
lied suddenly. The death of his
father left the family in straightened
circumstances. Grover was hoping to
enter Hamilton college, but the death
of bis father made it necessary for him
to earn his own livelihood. The first
year he acted as assistant teacher and
book-keeper in the institution for the
blind, in New York City. In the win
ter of 1854, he returned to Holland
P-Ufint, to visit his mother, and the
following spring with twenty-five dol
lars in his pocket, set out for the West
to make his fortune.! Reaching Buffalo,
he paid a visit to an uncle, Lewis F.
Al'en, a well-known stock favtner,
living at Black Rock, a few miles dis
tant. He made known bis plans to
hia uncle who discouraged the western
idea, and induced the ambitious boy of
', . 17 to remain with him on the farm and
assist in preparing a catalogue of
blooded Short-horn cattle, which is
kno-vn ah "Allen's American Herd
Book." Fcr preparing this work
young Cleveland received fifty dollars
ml his uncle secured for him a situa
tion m ths liw office of Rogers, Bo wen
Jc Rogers, the leading law firm in Buf
falo. He entered the office accordingly,
in August, 1855, from which he has
since worked his way to the top of the
professsion. He hss since served as
assistant district attorney, sheriff of
the county, mayor of the city of Buf
falo nd governor of the great State of
.Ne w York.
lie is essentially a self-made man.
Endowed by Nature with a sound
mind in a strong body, he has buffeted
the avers waves of poverty and mis-
. fortune, and with an indomitable
will he has stemmed the current of
' Jcnowlwdge, until to-day ho stands on
the pinnacle f fame. With his early
Christian training' and his knowledge
of the world he ie fitted both by nature
and education to be the ruler of a free
: 3eopJe, Thrown upon the world a, an
arly gft, without money, he was
forced to labor for a sustenance and an
education. His sympathies are natur-
wily with the laboring people; with his
clear insight into human actions, and
iik knowledge of men and measures,
he feels and realizes the encroachments
of capital upon labor.
In the course of his remarks before
the Oswegatchie fair at Ogdensburr,
Oct. 5th, 1883, he gave expression to
this sentiment: "Broad fields, well
tilled, not only secure comfort and in
come to the farmer, but build up the
commerce of the State and easily supply
the wants of the population. None of
these things result except by labor.
This is the magic wand whose touch
creates wealth and a great State. So
all of us who work are in our several
ways engaged in building to a higher
reach and nobler proportions the fabric
of a broad commonwealth. Those who
make and execute the laws, join with
those who toil from day to day with
their hands in their several occupa
tions, all engaged in building up and
protesting the State."

Cleveland vs-. Elaine on th.3 kizh. Qucsuon-
While O'Connor, MeSwecnev, aud
other naturalized citizens of the United
States wero languishing in British bas
tiles,; arrested as suspects, without war
rant pf law, or confronted with any ac
cuser, James G. Blaine was Secretary
of State, and openly refused to inter
fere on leha1f of bis fellow citizens,
holding that the English courts . were
the arbitrators of their own laws.
Tiie following extract from a speech
delivered by Hon. Grover Cleveland'
April 9th, 1682, in St, James Hall,
Buffalo, N. Y., when presiding at a
mass meeting to protest against the
treatment of American citizens, im
prisoned abroad by the American min
ister, to England :
"ifioni the earliest civilization to be
a citizen has been to be a free man, en
dowed with certain privileges and ad
vantages, and entitled to the full
protection of the State. The defense
and protection of personal lights of its
citizens has always been pan-mount
and the most important duty of a free,
enlightened government
"And perhaps no government has
this sacred trust more in its keeping
than this the best and freest of them
all; for here the people who are to be
protected ai3 the source of those pow
ers which they delegate upen the ex
press compact that the citizen shall be
protected. For this purpose we choose
whoj for the time being, shall manage
the machinery which we have set up
for our defense and safety.
"And this protection adheres to us
in all lands, and places as an incident
of citizenship. Let but the weight of
a sacrilegious hand be put upon this
sacred thing, and a great 3trong govern
ment springs to its feet to avenge the
wrong. Thus it is that the native-born
American citizan enjoys his birthright.
Bu j when, in the westward m-irch of
empire, this nation was founded and
took root, we beckoned to the old
world, and invited hither its imniigra-
tion, and provided a mode by which
those who sought a home among us
might become our f&llow citizens.
"In all lands where the semblance of
liberty 'is preserved,the rights of a per
son arrested to a speedy accusation and
trial is preserved, the right of a person
arrested to a speedy accusation and
trial is, or ought to be, a fundamental
law, as it is a rule of civilization.
"At any rate, we hold it to be so
and this is one of the rights which we
undertake to guarantee to any native
born or naturalized citizens of ours,
whether he be imprisoned by order of
the' Czar of Rnssia or uader tho pretext
of a law administered for the benefit of
the landed aristocracy of England.
"We lo not claim to make laws for
other countries, but we do insist that
whatever those laws may be thev shall,
. e
in the interests of human freedom and
the: lights of mankind,so far as they in
volve the liberty of our citizens, he
speedily administered. We have a
right to say and do say, that mere sus
picion without examination or trial, is
not sufficient to justify tho long im
prisonment of a citizen of America.
Other nations may permit their citizens
to be thus imprisoned. Ours will not.
And this in effect has been solemnly
declared by statute."
The Canvass-
From our Eastern exchanges it is ap
parent that the Republican phalanx is
broken. That the at my of thieves and
plunderers that have robbed our peo
ple and eat out our substance for lo,
these many years, are on the retreat.
That tho sunlight of victory is already
emblazoned on the crest of the Demo
cratic eagle. The Blaine managers en
raged at their overthrow, and having
lost all their armor of legitimate war
fare have resorted to their stink-pots,
and hurl at the heads of the Democratic
leaders, their accumulated filth of the
last twenty years. The way in which
the highly moral and respectable jour
nals of Oregon munch these sweet mor
sels which are thrown out to them by
the tit-bit journals of the East, would
lead one to believe tha. the Franco
Chinese bombardment is about to be
showered down upon us, or pandemo
nium to be let loose in our midst The
way the Oregonian and the lesser lights
of the party apply the epithet, Copper
head, and rebel sympathizer, one
would imagins we are about to fight
the battles of the war all over again.
What effect this species of argument
will have in arousing the lethargy of
the chivalrous youths of Oregon, who
were in their swaddling clothes when
the sound of the last gun died away on
the plains of Apjwjmatax; or toward
inspiring energy into the bearded
knights, who like their plained leader
of Maine, stood far of in those davs
which tried men's souls, and with their
iances poised were ever ready to at
tack Copperheads in he rear, who were
in tho line of battle doing service for
their country, will not e perceived on
election day. There are enough of us
who in out younger days witnessed the
red panoply of wa.- in all the details of it3
dread horrors, to wish to fight these
ha ties over again.

$HH),060,(100, which has yearly been c illocte! fro-n u
sufTeting people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation.
We denounce the ncpublban p".-"ty for having failed
to rdieve the )'eople from crushing war taxi which
have p.iralyzcd busincrs. crijipled industry and de
jtrived labor of employment a'ld of j i t rjw rd. Tii3
Democracy pledge itself tu purify the admin

omy, to revive respect for law an I t re
duce taxation to ths lowe-tliniiteoniastc itv. ith a due
regard to tho preservation of the faith of the nation,
toils creditor and jiensioners; kntwing full well,
however, that legislation affeeling the occupation
of the people should be cauti .us aud conser
vative in method, not in advance of public
opinion, but responsire o its de-nan Is, the Demo
cratic party is pledged to revL;o ths tariff in a spirit of
fairness to all interests; but in making a retluctio i in
taxes, it is not proposed to injui-eany domestic indus
tries but rather to promote their hcsilthy growth. From
the fo-m lation of this rtoveruioenttlie taxes collected
at the Custom house have been the chief source of
Federal reve'.iUe. Such thjy liiust coutiutie to b?.
Moreover, many ind-istriei have come to rely upon
legislation for a suceos.-ful continuance, so that any
change of law must be at every step regardful of labor
and capital thus involved. The process of reform
most be subject in its txcuti'oi to this plain dictate
of justice All taxation shall b j limited to the re
quirements f an economical Government. The
necessary reduction in taxation can and must be af
fected without deprivin.' American labor of the a'uil
ty to compete successfully with foreign labor, and
without imposing lower rates of duly than will b
ample to cover any nercayed cost of production which
may exist in consequence of the higher rate of wages
prevailing in this country, hufhcicnt revenue to pav
all tho expense of the Federal ,'o eminent ecotiom
iial'.y ailuiiois'crcd, imu'vling pensions, interest and
principal i f the j ublic dvbt, can be got under our
pre;nt svstem of taxaiion from Cnstoui-hoUfc taves
on fewer imported articles, bearing toe heaviest on
articles of luxury and bearing lightest on article f
neeessuy. We therefore denounce the abuses oi the
existing tariff and subject to pre ;e-;di.iglinitatio a, we
demand that Federal taxation shall be exi-'usively for
public purposes, and sh .ll not exceed the needs of the
government conomically administered. The y--t-m of
direct tax iti"ii, known as the "internal revenue," is
a warlax.and so long as the law contiti'-e the money
received therefrom should bt sr:c'-eiilf de- o-ed to the
relief of t'le people from remaining burdens of the
war, and be made a fund to defray the expense of the
cara and comfort of worthy soldiers, tii valued in the
line of duty in the wars of the Republic, r.nd for the
payment of such pension a (.'oiiirres- nwy front time
to time grant to such soldiers -a like fund for the
sailor having been already provided and any sur
plus should te p-iid into the treasury.
We f.ivur an American continental policy, based
upon mora intimate cominer -ial and political relations
with the fifteen sister Itepubli.of N irth, t'c-iti-al aud
South America, but entangling alliance with none.
We beiicve iu honest money the g M and silver
coinage of tiieconsi ititution and acireii.at.ng metliuui
convertible into such money without loss.
Asserting the equality of all men before the law
we hold that it is the duty of the Government, in
dealings with the people, to incto out equal and exa.-t
justico to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col
or or persuasion, religious or political.
We belie .-e in a free billot and a fair count, and
we recall to the memory of tlv; pcipl.! the noble
struggle "f the Democrats in the Forty-fifth anil Forty-sixth
Congresses, by which a reluctant Ilepubiican
opposition wa 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. The
selection of Federal Ulcers for the Territories should
be restricted to ciliztns iTewously resident thereof.
We oppo.-e sumptuary laws, which vox the citizens
and iute ere with individual liberty.
We fa vi. ran honest civ il service reform in compen
sation of all United State oihee by fixed s d trie1!, tha
separation of Church and State, and the diffusion of
fraa education by co-.nm n school, so that every child
iu tha laud may" be taught tiie right and duties of
citixen-ihip.
Wndj ve favor all legislation which will tend to
the equitable distribution of p: o;cr.y, to the preven
tion of monojrtily, and to the strict enforcement of
individual rights against corporate abuses, we hold
that the welfare of society depend on a scrupulous
regard for the rights of property as dcfl; ed by law.
We believb that labor is best "rewarded where it i
fresst and mast enlightened. It should be fostered
ami cherished. We favor the repeal of nil the law
restraining tha free action of labor, and th; enact
ment of law by ivtiich 1 ibor organizations may be
increased, and of all such legislation a will tend to
enlighten the people as to the true relations of cap
iat! and labor.
We believe that the public lands ought, as far as
possible, to be kept a home .-lead for actual settlers;
that all unearned lands heretofore improvulently
granted to railroad eoniomtions by the ltepublic-m
party should be restored to the public domain, and no
more grants shall be made to c-i-porat:oris, r be al
lowed to fall into the -ownership of alien absentee.
We are onposed lo all propositions which, upon any
pretext, would convert the general Government into
a machine for tho collection of Uses to be distribute!
among the Hates or citizens thereof.
In reaffirming the declaration of the Demi cratic
platform of 1ST0 that "the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes our the
land of liberty and the asylum f the oppressed of
every nation, have ever been cardinal principles in
the Democratic faith,, we nevertheless do not sanc
tion the importation of foreign labor, or the admission
of servile races unfited bv habits, training, religion or
kindred for aborpti on into the great body of our peo
ple, or to the citizenship which our laws confer.
American civilization demand that against the immi
gration or importation of Mongolians to these sborcj
our gate3 should be closed.
The Democratic iarty insists that it is the
duty of the Government to protect with equal
fidelity and vigilance the right of its citizens,
native or naturalized, at home and abroad;
and to the end that this protection may be assured,
United States papers of naturalization issued by
Courts of competent jurisdiction, must be resjiected
hy the executive and legislative dejiaitments of our
own Government, anal by all foreign powers. It is
an imperative dutv of this Government to eiticiently
protect all the rights of persons and the property of
every American citizen in foreign lands, and demand
and enforce full reparation for s.ny invasion thereof.
An American citizen is only responsible to bis ovn
Government for any act done in his eouutry, or under
her flag and law, onlj to be tried therefor on her
s a', and according U her laws. jioaer exists in
this government to cXDatriata an American citizen, to
bo tr-.ed in any foreign land lor any sum act.
J Tbis country has never had any well-define I and exe
! cute I foreign policy save under a lemoeraiic adminis
tration: that policy ha ever been, in regard tt for
' eign nations, so longtb?y do no aelrittrin.ental to
the interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens,
to let them alone. That as the , result of
this policy we re -all the acquisition of Lou
isiana, Florida, California and of the adjacent
Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con
trast these grand acquisitions of Itemocratic statesman
ship w.th the purchase of Alaska the sole fruit of
Republican administration of nearly a quarter of a
eeYitury. ,
The General Government should car for
and improve the Mississppi river and other great water
ways tif the HupubUc, so as to secure for the nterior
titatl asy an! ciii ip transportation to tide-water
Under a long piSriod of Demoe -atie rrtle arid policy
our merchant marine wad fast overtaSidjr; and On the
point of outstripping, that of Greit Uritaiin Uilder 0
years of Hepubhcau ntlo and policy our commerce has
been left to British bottomsand almost has the A nie,rb
can Hag been swept off the high seas. Instead of
tha liepublican i party's British policy, ve demand
for the people of ths United State an American policy.
Under IHsmoeratie rule and policy our inercha-its aud
sailors flying the stars and stripes in every iortr suc
cessfully searched out a market for the varied pro
duels of American industry.
Under a quarter of a century of Republican rule
and Hey, 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
population by the foremost races of men and an an
nual immigration of the youmr, thrifty and adventur
om of all nation, despite our treodom here from in
herited burden) of life an! industries in the oil
world monarchic?, theircostly warnavij, their vast tax
consuming non-producing standing armies, despite 20
5 ears of peiea, that liepublican rule and policy have
managed to surrender to Great Itritain, along with
our commerce, the control of the markets of the
world. Instead of th-j liepublican party's British policy,
we de.nand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an
American policy; instead of the Kepublican party's
discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to
American laber, expressed by imposing taxes, we de
mand in behalf o' the Democracy, freedom for Amer
ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these
United Status may compete with unhindered powtSrs
tor primacy among nations iu all the arts of peace
and fruits of liberty.
With profound regret we have been apprised by the
vencnble statesman, through whose person ws struck
that blow at the vital principle of the republic ac
quiesceni in the will of thj majority that he can
not permit us again to place in his hands the leader
ship of the Democratic host, for the reason that the
achievement of reform in the administration of the
Federal Government is an undertaking now too heavy
for his age and failing strength. Itepdcing that his
life ha bean prolonre 1 until the general judgment of
our folio .v countrymen is united in the wish that the
wrong were righted in his person for the Democracy
of the United Mated, we offer to him in his withdraw
al from those care not only our repected sympathy
and esteem, but also that best homage of freeman,
the pledge of our devotion to the principle and the
causa now inscperable in the history of' this Republic
from the labors and name of Samuel J. Tildcn.
fr .With this statement of the hopes, principles and
purpose of the Democratic party, the great issue of
reform and change in administration is submitted to
the people iu calm confidence, that the popular voice
will pronounce in favor of new men, and new and
more favorable conditions for the growth of industry,
the extens on ot trade, the employment and due re
ward of labor and of capital, and the general welfare
of the country.
