Lake George, Sept. 1, 18.84
Dear Sir: Since an expression of
opinion is asked from me I do not feel
that! ought to keep silenco in a con test
of such importance as tho present Pres
idential canrass, though it would be
hard to add any thing fresh to the
literature of the campaign at so late a
date, and though a quint man might
well shrink 'from making himself a
target for lightning in a campaign so
Lot as this one.
Eince 1854 there has not been sc great
.disturbance of the political elements.
Democrats dyed - in - the - giain can be
found who show a friendly interest in
he success of the Republk-an nominee.",
while some of the original founders ami
guides of Republicanism are piomoting
"Cleveland's election with all the ardor
and courage of their youth. An un
usually large number of both parties
are in doubt and I find sou.e who pro
pose to throw away votes on St. John
cv Butler or to withhold them entirely
'Perhaps, if we analyse these currents
.and counter currents of men going to
and fro we may get ?on:e clue to the
true Mid inward nature of the prevail
ing cyclone. The first thing that im
presses the observer from a quiet and
out of - the - field point of vie.v like
mine, is that thy voters who are driven
from their places in the Republican
ranks Hy Mr. Blaine's candidacy are
for the most part, men of a very high
order. . I do not lind one of the ix-t-
hunters of the party among them They
a-e leading business men, yonng men
of hy;h aims and aspirations, prominent
lawyers, clergymen, journalists of first
rase ability, distinguished writers, and
careful students of history and the
science of Government. Some of tho
deserters from the Republican patty
am tho very ornament and cown of
the intellectual life cf the nation. So
strongly are. they lerelled by Blaine
and Logan that they iind themselves
.compelled to bivak the party fealty of
a lifetime i,o vote ngainst them. Any
thoughtful voter might feel a prejudice
in favor of a cause embraced bv men of
such discrimination and disinterested
ness; I certainly shouli not like to be
classed with thtse demagogues who
pelt soma of the first men of our time
with such epithets as 'dude' and 'phar
iees' because they cannot vote for a
man whose hands they believe to be
stained with unclean bribes. j
It cannot be denied that there are
many Democrats who will support Mr.
Blaine, or, what amounts to half as
much, will vote for his double, Gen.
Rntler. If these bolting Democrats
were men of public spirits, lovers of
order and decency, and competent
judges of the fiiness of a candidate,
one wight offset the one bolt against
the other. But the Democrats vbo
are disposed to help Mr. Blaine, directly
X)r indirectly, are from the underground
basement of the party. The whole
group of New York ring plunderers,
Ben. F. Butler, the New York Sun,
and the makers of dynamite to blow
up women and and children in London,
are some of the Democrats that desert
ed Mr. Cleveland. Any attempt to
characterize force so well known would
bo a wanton waste of epithets. Not
one Democrat of high character, so far
as I know, ha3 been wen by Mr. Blaine.
His is a tnignetism that draws the tilth
an I rubYisi of tha opposite party.
Rsp3ctable Democrats might afford
ven to suffer a party defeat to secure
BUi!i a riddance of evil and mischief
making elements.
Now, since my words are sure to be
misrepresented, et me disclaim any
thought of saying that Mr. Blaine does
not number among his uuppoiters
thousands of excellent people. The
strength of party attachment and super
stition, the force of political habits and
associations, are 0
great that Mr.
Blaine will get the votes of many
thousands whose lives and principles
are as superior to his as uprightness is
to venality. But the proselytes whom
Mr. Blaine draws from without his
party and whom Gov. Cleveland re
pels, are almost to a men either inter
sted and unsavory monopolists, for
eigners seeking to embi-oil the country,
or political ri IT-rail I do not say that
this fact is ai4e eoaclusive. It might
I
tne who
choose the
i viglit tiian, while a htrse '
body of tlitj most upright and highly j
cultivated men were making a mistake.
This might ihappen, I suppose, though
I cannot recall a single instance of the
kind in butnan histcry. The character
of the men' who have lent support to
the nominees opposed to their parties is) as
a pretty fcitfe surface indication.
I will not discuss the specific charges
against Mr.
Blaine. Tiie evidence of
the Mulligan letters is so conclusive
that there i3 danger of their beir."
j
too nmchi dwelt upo:i. The main
mountain of objection to Mr. Blaine is
not that in this one instance he cor
ruptly ottered to sell himself, but that
his whole career is off the same pieco
that his general reputation for tricki-
ncss and self-seefchit; renders him unfit
for the hight. ottice. I am told, how-
ever that he lias had great experience
and is exceedingly clever. With both
of these qualifications I am willing to
"ive him credit. Few men have had
i
such large, opportunities to serve their
country iii high position duiing a crit
ical period, md fewei with such chances
have failed so completely to render their
country any conspicuous service. I
I
cannot recall that as Congressman,
Speaker, Senator or Secretary of State,
Mr. Blaine has lent signal assistance
ia settling any grave question. Om
of the most expert debaters thnt ever
stood on the floor bt ei her House, lie
has made no statesmanlike speech. His
audacious; fluency and ready repartee
have never bnen used, I believe, for
anythingj higher than personal and
partisan ends. Mr. Blaine, by this
time, knows all the ins and outs cf
official life, and his career shows that
he knows better than any American
living how to turn those to his own ac
count. To. put him in cha'ge of a re
formed civil service ia like entrusting
poultry yaid to a fox. It doesn't
seem to make the poultry yard any
safer that the fox is a fox of larjie ex
perience j and unusual " smartness. "
They have a practice in China, I am
told, of putting the cleverest and most
.1
distinguished rogues on the police fcrce.
But evenj the heathen Chinese would
hardly carry the theory so far as to
raise a venal politician to the highest
omce in me ianu uecause or ins ex
pertness. ;
Petti GtiggerS in the old West of my
boyhood had -a method of securing the
escape of their clients in scandalous
cases by what they called "blackguard
ing the cose out cf court."' It consis
ted in filling the air with so much un
disguised indecency in counter chances
proven or unproveir, that Judge and
jury were stilled and blinded by dis
gust. This has been tried by the ad
vocates of Mr. Blaine, and not with-,
out some result. I have met a good
If many excellent men who declare their
purpose either not to vote at all or to
throw away their vota on Mr. St. John,
because sto.ies have been told tp the
discredit of the private life of boh the
leading candidates. I could wish as
heartily as any one tha the candidates
and all our public men possessed all
those private and domestic virtues that
go to make the model family man, or
the saint. But a combination of all
the public and all the private virtues is
one sf nature's dilScuit feats not fre
quently attained. Tho arch of the rain
bow, as Emerson puts it, is never com
plete. Since then, we cannot have all
the good qualities, it becomes us, as
men of moderation and common sense,
i '
to choose the most important-. New
to a woman selecting a husband, the
domestic virtues ought to seem beyond
comparison to be the essential ones, but
to an army in need of a chieftain the
military qualities only would be indis
pen?ible. To a country electing a chief
magistrate, though exemplary private
morals aie desirable, the main question
is that of fitness for puhlie service.
It is of first importance that a man
should have those virtues that belong
to his function; that a soldier should
be biave, that a preacher should be
tiuthful, that a railway engineer should
be vigilant. Charles I. had all the
"family decencies" as Macaulay calls
them, but he was a bad king, and had
to be abolished with an axe. I shall
vote for Governor Cleveland because
his public service, though by compari
son brief, shows that he possesses, in
an eminent degree, the virtues necessa
ry to a man in high executive office.
He has integrity, truthfulness, disinter,
estedness, tenacity of will and practical
wisdom. Mr Blaine has plenty of will,
but his integrity is more than sus
"pected. His whole career shows him
to be Jacking in sincerity, md his con
duct of the State Department proved,
that with all his shrewdness, he wanted
that conl biaation of sagacity and mod
eration that goes to make the indispen
sable qual;ty of practical wisdcin. Mr
Blaine, in a word, has precisely those
vjces of mind and character that pre
vent the most brilliant demasoism
from ever rising to plane of wise
statesmanship.
If Mr. Blaine should succeed in this
i
contused ana quadrilateral canvass in
the aid of good men who have a siiper-
stitious veneration for their party, and
by the .aid of men who have openly
declared his unfitness befoie he was
nominated. I know how pamflll it IS
j
to breaic tne ties that biua one to an
j organisation possessing so great a pas-
that of the Republican party. But
parties change swiftly. If Mr. Blaine
should be elected, a new chapter will
be opened. The magnetism of repul
sion would doubtless, in four years,
drive forth what is best in the Repub
lican ranks; the process of attraction
would bring into its innet- circle tiie
Mahones and tho V ringmasters of the
great cities, and would confirm the grip
of the star route and whisky ring men
on its machinery. It will no lomjer be
a question of reforming the .patty
The men who in their outh lejoieed in

DEMCOEATIO PlATFOSM.
The Deir.ucr.iti : party of the Union, through its !
representative. m National Convention assembled,
ruC' agnize j thnt as thtf lUM.Jti grows u'Jor ne .v isju are
born of time and progress, a.i.l old issues pt.ris'.i, bat
the fundamental principles of Deuvjjr.iey, appro .el
by the united voice of the people, re:nai i, an 1 will
ever rem lin, n the be-t and omy security for the
eon inuamc offiee yovernineat. Vhe preservation of
persoinl rights, tho equality o:"!l citizeiu beore the
la-.v, the reserved rights of the states, and the supre
macy of the Federal Unvernnietit wit:iin the limits of
the Constitution, will ever f jrm tiie true bais of our
liberties, and can never be surrendered without de
strojiii:r that b.tkeiee of rihis and powers which en
ables a contiiie.it to bi; developed in peace :i:'d social
order to be maintained by moans of local sel'-jfovcrn-inent.
But it is indispensable, ' for the practical applica
tion mid cut ircenien!, of these fun ia;i!C ital prin
ciples, that the Government shoitid not aiwavs be
controlled by o:ia political party; A fre,pie:it change
of adiiiiitisir.iti n is as us -esry as the con.ita.it re
currence to the popular w ill; otherwise, abuses grow,
and the Govornme.it, instead of being carried on for
the general welfare, becomes an instrumentality furim
post'ug heavy burdens on the many, who rc governed
for the benefit of tiie few who govern. Public ser
vants thus bejoine arbitrary rulers.
This is now tho conditio: i of the country.
Hence a change is demvidel. The Republican
party, so far as principle is concerned, is a
reminiscence: in practice, it is an organiza
tion for enriching those who control its ma
chinery. The frauds and jobbery which Lave been
brought to light in every department of the Govern
ment are sulli-ient to have called for reform v ithin
the Republican party; yet those in authority, made
reckless by thj long p s.iession of power, have suc
cvuiibo.l to its cortupli.ig iunaence, and have placed
in nomination a ticket ngr.iiis-t which the independent
portion of the pjrty are in open revolt. Therefore a
change is demanded. Such a change was alike neces
sity in IcjTti, but the will of the pi. p'e w.n then de
feated by a iVjiid, which can neve;1 be forgotten nor
condoned, giin in ISiO the change demanded by
the people wai deieatel by the lavish use of money,
contribute 1 by unscrupulous co:Hraciors and sh inu
less j.iblKT, who had bargained for unlawful profits,
or for high office.
Tiie Kenibiican party, during its legal, its
stolen, aid its height tenures of power, Inn
sstcadily decayed in moral character and pjiiticil
capacity. Its pl-itforni promises ard now a list of its
pa:..t failures. It demands thj restWation of our
navy; it ha. squandered hundreds of millions to cre
ate a navy that does not exist It calls upon i 'ongress
to remove the burdens under which Vmerican shipping
has been depressed; it impose i and has continued
those burdens.
It profa-ses tho policy of reserving the public lands
for small holding by actual getllor. It has given
awar the people-' heritage ti'l now a few railroads,
anil liou-residentalunr,, individual and corporate, pos
sess a larger area than that of all oar farms between
the seas. It profssss.s a preference for free institu
tions: it organized and tried io legalizeacoiitr.il of
State elections by feder.d troops. It professes a de
nro to elevate labor; it has subjected American work
ingmen to tho competition of convict and imported
euitraet labor. It professes gratitude to all who
were disabled or die 1 in the war, leaving widows and
orphans; it left to a l.!vnio..ratic lloir-e of llepre-tn-
tatives the Art olfort to equalize both bounties a-d j
pension", it proffers a pie .'go to correct the irregu-
lirities of our tariff; it created and has continued
them, its own tariff commission c nfessed the need
of more than 20 per cent, reduction; its Gotigress g.v.'f;
a reduction of less tha l 4 per cent. It professes the
protection of American inanuf icturers; it has sub
jected them to an increasing Hood i.f manufactured
goods, and a hopeless com pet tion with manufactur
ing nations, not ne of which taxes raw material. It
professes to protect all American industries; it has
impoverished many to subsidize a few. It professes
the protection ot American labor; it has depleted the
returns of American agriculture, an industry followed
by half our people. It professes the equality of all
men before the law. Attempting to fix the s-atai of
colored citizens, the acts of its Congress were overset
by the decisions of its courts. It "accepts anew the
duty of leading in tha work of progress and rcf nn;"
its caught criminals are permitted to escape through
contrived delaj s or actual connivance in the prose
cution. Honeycombed wi:h corruption, outbreaking
exposures no longer bhoek its moral sonse. Its hon
est member.i, its itidepe if.it journals, no longer main
tain a successful contest for authority in its coun-e!s
or a veto upon bad nominators. That change 13 nec-es-arily
proved by an existing surplus of more than
130,060,00, which has yearly been collected from a
!u(Tei ing people. Unnecessary taxation is unjust
taxation.
We denounce the Republican p uty for having fail on
to relieve the people from crushing war taxes which
have pxralyzei businefs. crippled industry and de
prived labor of employment and of just reward. Th j
Iictnoclacy pledge itself to purify the admin
istration from corruption, to restore econ
omy, to revive respect for law and to re
duce taxation to the lowest limitcoiiMsteot with a due
regard to the preservation of the faith of the nau.n,
toils creditors an 1 pension ars; knitting full well,
however, that legislation affecting the occupations
of the people should be cautious and conser
vative in method, not in advance of public
opinion, but re -pensive o its ilemands, the bemo
cratie party is pledged to revise the tariff in a spirit of
fairness to ail interests; but in staking a reduction in
taxes, it is not propose:! to injure.iny domestic indus
tries but rather to promote their healthy growth, l'rom
the foundation of this Government the taxes collected
atthe Custom house hive been the chief source of
Federal revenue. Such. they must continue to bi.
Moreover, many iudntr.es have come to re'y upon
legislation for a successful continuance, so that any
change of law must be at every step regardful of labor
and capital thus involved. The process of reform
must be subject in its execution to this plain dictate
of justice Ail taxation snail bo limited to the re
quirements of an economical Government. The
necessary reduction in taxation can and must be af
fected without depriving American labor of the abil
ty to compete saowssfally with foreign labor, and
without imposing lower rate of duty than will be
ample to cover any i:crea?rd est i;f production which
may exi:-t in consequence of the higher rate of wage
prevailing in this country. Sufficient revenue to pay
all the expenses of the Federal Government econom
ically administered, including pensions, interest and
principal of the p-ublie debt, can be got under our
present system of tasai ion trom Custom-house taxes
on fewer imporUJ articles, bearing the heaviest on
articles of luxury and bearing lightest on articles f
necessity. We therefore denounce the abuses of the
existing tariff and subject to proceeding limitation, we
demand that Federal taxation shall be exclusively for
public purpose, and sh ll nut exceed the needs of the
government cononiical!y administered. T1h "system of
direct taxation, known as the "internal revenue," is
a wartax.and so longas the law continues the money
received therefrom should bt sacred! v devoted to the
relief of the people from remaining burdens of the
war, and be made a fund to defray the expense of the
care and comfort of worthy soldiers, disabled in the
line of duty in the wars of the Uepublic, r.nd for the
payment of such pensions as Congress may from time
to time grant to such soldiers a like fund for the
sailors having been already provided and aoy sur
plus should be paid into the treasury.
We favor an American continental policy, based
upon more intimate commercial and political relations
with the fifteen sister Republics of N.rth, Central and
South America, but entangling alliances with none.
We believe in honest money the gald and silver
coinage of the constititu tion and acirculattng medium
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 mete out equal ami exact
justice to all citizens, of whatever nativity, race, col
or or persuasion, religious or political.
We believe in a frea ballot and a fair count, and
we re?a!I ti the memory of the people the noble
struggle of the Democrats in the Forty-fifth and For-tv-bixth
Congresses, by whieh a reluctant Republican
opposition was compelled to assent to legislation
making everywhere iilegid the presence of troops at
the pt'Hs the conclusive proof thtt a Demoeratia
administration wiil preserve liberty with order. The
selection of Federal officers for the Territories should
be restricted to citizens previously resident thereof.
We oppose sumptuary laws, which vex the citizens
and intefere with individual liberty.
Ws favor en honest civil service reform in compen
sation of all United States offices by fixsd salaries the
separation of Church and State, and the diffusion of
free education by comm. n schools, s. that every child
in the land may be taught Use rights and duties of
citizenship.
WhUe we favcr all legislation which will tend to
the equitable distribution of prcqerty, to the preven
tion of monopoly, and to the strict enforcement of
individual rights against corporate abuses we hold
tfcat the v tlfare of society iieicnd3 on a scrupulous
regnrd for the rights of property as dttii ed by law.
We beiievb that labor is best rewarded where it. is
freest and most enlightened. It should be fostered
jnd cherished. V. e favor the rcj-cal of all the laws
restraining the free action of labor, ana the enact-
ntcnlof laws by which labor organizations may b
increased and of all sueli legislation a will tend t
to
enlighten the people as to the true relations of cap
ital and labor.
We believe thnt the public lands ought, as far as
possible, to be keot as homesteads tor actuai M-iuert.,
ti'jt all unearned lanes heretofore improvidently
in-anted to railroad corporations by the Republican
i.nrtv should be restored to the nubiic domain, and no
more grants shall be made to corporations, or be al
lowed to fall into tne ownersnin ci alien aoseuiees.
We are outrage. I to all propositions which, upon any
pretest, would convert the genera! Government into
a machine for the collection ot tuxes to De owiuohj
anions the States or citizens thereof
l.-i rKiifimiir. t!te declaration of the Perm cratic
platform of IS.'O thnt "the liberal principles embodied
by Jefferson ill the Declaration of Independence, and
sanctioned in the Constitution, which makes ours the
land of liberty and the asylum cf 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 uiitited bv habits, training, religion or
kindred for tbsorptioii iiito the great tody of our peo
ple, or to the citizenship whkh our laws confer.
American eiTiiisatiou demands that against the immi
gration or importation of Mongolians to these shores
our gate should be closed.
The Democratic party insists that it is the
duty of the Government to protect with equal
fiilei'.ty and vigilante the rights of its citizens,
intive or naturalized, at home and abroao ;
and to the end thrtt this protection may be assured,
United Stages papers of naturalization issued by
Courts of comncient j urisdiction, must be respected
by the executive and legislative departments of our
own Government, and by all foreign power. It is
ho imperative datv of this Government to etiicieul.y
f. rote. :t all the rights of persons and t'..e property , f
every American citize.i in foreign lands, and de nattd
and enforce full reparation for any invasion thereof.
n American citizen is only rcsponsdde to ir.s o.- .i
Government for any a.-tdone i:i his country, or utr.isr
hor flag and Nw, only to be tried tberefor -n her 1
sril. an t accu 1'.' to her laws. No power exists'.'!
this government to cci-atrir.le an American citizen, to
be tried in any foreign land for any such act.
Tim country has never had any weil-detincd and exe
cuted f oreign policy save under a Democratic adminis
tration; that policy has ever been, in regard to for
eign nations, at Jongssthey do no act detrimental to
the interests of the country or hurtful to our citizens.
t lot them alone. lnat as the result ot
this policy we re 'all the acquisition of Lou
isiana, Florida, t alii'oniia and of the adjacent
Mexican territory by purchase alone, and con
tract these grand acquisitions of Democratic statesman
ship w th the purchase of A bisk a the sole fruit of
t.epubliean administrationof nearly a quarter of a
century.
Toe General Government hbould care 'or
and improve the Mississppi river and other great water
ways of the Rupubiic, so as to secure for the utenor
Jt.ites easy and cheap transportation to tide-water.
Under a long period of Democ -alic rule and policy
our merchant marine was fast overtaking, and on tho
point of outstripping, that of Great Britain. Under '10
years of Republican rule and policy our commerce has
been left to I'.nlish bottomsand almost has the Ameri
can flag been swept off the high seas. Instead of
the Republican party s British policy, we demand
for the' people of the United Mates an American policy.
Under Democratic rule and policy our merchants and
sailors flying the stars ami 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 Uespit? the freedom of
trade among all these United States, despite their
population oy the foremost races of men and an an
nual immigration of the young, thrifty and adventur
ous of all nations: despite our freedom hero from in
herited burdens of life and industries in the old
world monarchies thoir costly war navies, their vast tax
consuming non-producing standing armies, dequte 20
years of peace, that Republican rule and policy have
managed to surrender to t.reat tsritain, along wun
our commerce, the control of the markets of the
world. Instead of the Republican party's British policy,
we demand, in behalf of the American Democracy, an
American policy; instead of the Republican irty's
discredited scheme and false pretense of friendship to
American laber, expressed by imposing' taxes, we de
mand in behalf of the Democracy, freedom for Amer
ican labor, by reducing taxes to the end that these
United States may compete with unhindered powers
for primacy among nations ia all the arts of peace
and fruita of liberty.
Willi profound 1 egret we have been apprised by the
venerable statesman, through whose person ws struck
that blow at the vital principle of the republic ae-quiescence-
in the will of the majority 'that he can
not permit us again to place in his hand the leader
ship of the Democratic host, for the reason that the
achievements of reform in the administration of the
Federal Government is an undertaking now too heavy
fr his age and failing strength. Rejoicing thftt his
life has been prolonged until the general judgment of
our fellow conntrj men is united in the wi-h that the
wrong were righjed iu bis person for the Democracy
of the United htates, we offer to h'iu in hie withdraw
al from thore cares not only our respected sympathy
and esteem, but also that best bomngo of freeman,
the p'c !ge of our devotion to the prir.cipl-s and the
cause now inscperabie in the history of this Republic
troin the labors and name of Samuel J. Tilden.
With this statement of the hopes principles and
purposes of the Democratic party, the great issue of
reform and change in administration is Kubmittei to
the people in calm c.m'idem e, that the popular voice
will pronounce in fav-r of m-w men, and new and
more favorable conditions for the growth of industry,
