The Democratic Standard Bearer.
Gov. Cleveland, who has been chosen to
lead the Democratic party in tbe Presi
dential contest, is not a brilliant man and
has not had much experience in public
affairs. He is. however, a man of ability
'and unimpeachable integrity. It Is sel-
dom that a msn reaches so high a position
no early in life, expeciallv wbea be has
been so short a time before tbe public.
Gov. Cleveland has filled only four
offices that are worth mentioning. In 1963
he was Appointed Assistant District Attor
ney of Erie county, New York, and in
1969 was elected Sheriff. In 1990 he was
elected Mayor of Buffalo, and two years
afterwards he was elected Governor. In
each position that be has filled he has
proven himself fully equal to the responsi
bilities which devolved upon him. and
baa won both honor and credit. The at
tention of his State was first attracted to
him by bis thoroughly honest and inde
pendent way of manairing the municipal
affairs of the city of Buffalo while filling
the office of Mayor. Rings which were
formed to rob the city by means of fat
contracts found no favor with him. In
his wider sphere as Governor he has shown
the same qualities that characterized him
when Mayor. He has done what be
thought was right, without fear and with
out hope of favor. He has frowned upon
jobs of all kinds, and he has not hesitated
to us* bis veto power when he thought
the trood of tbe people and public inter
ests demanded its use. His veto of the
.Vcent fare bill, which applied to the New
York city elevated railroads, has sub
jected him to a good deal of criti
cism, but that veto, in the estimation
of the purest men of New York,
raised him to the rank of a statesman.
With respect to that veto the President of
Cornell University, a distinguished Re
publican, wrote: “I am coming to have
a very great respect and admiration for
our new Governor. His course on the
elevated railroad bill first commended
him to me. Personally, I should have
been glad to have seen that company
receive a slap. But the method of ad
ministering it seemed to me very insidi
ous and even dangerous, and glad was I
to see that tbe Governor rose above all
tbe noise and claptrap which was raised
about the question, went to the funda
mental point of tbe matter and vetoed the
bill. 1 think his course at that time
gained the respect of every thinking man
in the State.” Tammany’s hostility to
Governor Cleveland is due to the fact
that be signed the bill which took away
from New York city Aldermen the power
to confirm appointments. The bill was a
blow at Tammany’s power, and
that organization sought to defeat
him at Chicago. Governor Cleveland
was a reform Mayor, and since he has
been Governor every genuine reform has
found in him an earnest advocate and
staunch friend. He is a man of clean life
and clean methods. He knows little of
tbe crookedness of politics. His political
opponents will not be able to point out
anything discreditable in his public or
private life. He is a barren subject lor
the pencil of the caricaturist. Be
ing an honest and a conservative
roan he will inspire the business men of
the country with confidence. Hi rose
from the ranks, and knows what it is to
struggle with poverty. The working
classes may reasonably expect, therefore,
to find him a iriend of their interests. He
was a tidal wave Mayor, a tidal wave
Governor, and it is not too much to
predict that he will be a tidal wave Presi
dent. The demand for reform made him
Mayor of Buffalo and Governor of New
York, and the demand for reform in na
tional affairs will make him President.
The Nominee for Vice President.
The nomination' of Hon. Thomas A.
Hendricks lor Vice President was doubt
less somewhat of a surprise. Before the
meeting of the convention he was not
regarded as a candidate for either Presi
dent or Vice President. It was not
thought that he would accept the second
place unless Mr. Tilden were the Presi
dential nominee. The very general im
pression was that McDonald would be
nominated for Vice President if an East
ern man were nominated lor President.
Hendricks, however, is perhaps as strong
a man as could have been se
lected for the second place. His
nomination proves that he is more
popular in Indiana than McDonald. If
any man can assist the Democrats in car
rying Indiana he can. He certainly can do
more in that direction than did the nomi
nee for Vice President in 1990. Tbe fact
that he was a part of the “old ticket”
mav have had something to do with his
nomination, but not much. The smaller
part of the “old ticket” will not con
tribute a great deal towards giving life to
tho fraud issue, and probably noliody ex
pects that it will. Indiana is a doubtful
State, and doubtless Mr. Hendricks owes
his nomination to the fact that the con
vention believed that he could contribute
more towards carrying it than any other
Indiana man. He is an able man—in
many respects a great man. He strength
ens the ticket, and his nomination can
hardly fail to meet with general favor.
Another Glance at the Platform.
The Democratic platform i* a clear,
strong and comprehensive statement of
the position of the Democratic party on
all the important questions at present be
fore the country. It will tend to draw
Democrats of different shades of opinion
closer together and encourage them to
battle confidently for victory. The most
important feature of it is, of course,
that relating to the tarift'. It was
feared that a tariff resolution
could not be framed that would
meet the approval of both wings of the
party. This, however, has been done
without sacrificing the principle em
bodied in a tarift for revenue for which
the great majority of the party has always
contended. It is the purpose of the party
to cut down tariff taxation until it shall
only meet the necessities of tfie govern
ment economically administered; but in
making reductions care will be
taken that the changes shall
not be so radical or sudden
as to disturb or damage any of the gre*t
industrial interests of the country. A
proper appreciation is shown for the
wants and wishes of American working
men. The promises made to them will be
carried out. While professing solicitude
for the home laborer the importation of
contract labor from Europe will not be en
couraged. It is admitted that internal
taxes must be continued for a while
longer, but the position is wisely taken
that the fund arising from such taxes
should be devoted to bearing
the burdens that were incurred by the
war. The clause relating to the money of
the country has the true ring. The party
does not propose to encourage any green
back heresy. The proposition favoring
closer commercial relations with South
America will meet with very general ap
proval. The time is not far distant, per
haps, when the numerous republics to the
south of us will be large customers for
our manufactured goods. Every opportu
nity, therefore, ought to be improved
to increase onr intercourse with them.
Butler’s attack on civil service reform
met with no encouragement. On the con
trary. it was condemned by the almost
unanimous voice of the convention. It
was a Democrat who introduced the c ivil
service bill which finally became a law,
and honest civil service is much more
likely to be fostered and cherished by the
Democratic than by the Republi
can party. The public lands ought
to be preserved for the people, and
the Democratic platform so declares.
The Republican platform declares the
same thing, but in the last quarter of a
century the Republican party has given
away lands equal to an empire to great
corporations. Its declaration means
nothing. It has repeatedly refused to for
leit unearned land grants. The Demo
cratic party undertook this work of fore
feiting land grants last session. The
party is opposed to distributing tbe sur
plus among the States. Itbelk-v:-* in exi
ting off the source of the surplus. Fn :a
whatever point the platform is viewed it.
will generally be conceded that it is an
able production.
Mr. Hendricks was not ready to devise
bis part of the old ticket boom in real
earnest. He was only joking, probably,
when be suggested the name of McDonald.
The Convention.
Tbe convention did its work well. The
friends of the beaten candidates, of course,
feel a little disappointed. The ticket and
the platlonn will give general satisfaction
to the party. They will command the
support of the Independents and the bolt
ing Republicans. Tammany is mad, of
course, but that is Tammany’s chronic
condition. The convention quickly be
came tired of Tammany’s antics, and
early showed that it would not submit to
the dictation of John Kelly. The
Tammanv boss does not appear
to be able to understand
that a national convention is a very much
larger institution than the Tammany so
ciety, and that it cannot be handled by
Tammany’s machine methods. Tammany
may sulk awhile and finally fall into line
and work for the ticket, or it may cast its
influence for Butler or Blaine, but if it
decides upon a scheme of vengeance it is
probable*that it will prove as impotent to
prevent Cleveland from carrying New
York as it was to prevent his nomination.
Both parties having named their tickets,
tbe campaign within a few days will
open in earnest.

It was said of I-ogan when he visited Maine
after his nomination that he made a favorable
impression because he was a better looting
man than.he appeared to be in his picture. It
mav be that the current portraits of him and
Blaine are put forth with the subtle purpose
of starting a reaction late in the campaign by
exhibiting both candidates personally through
out the country. Something of the kind will
hare to be done, especially for Blaine. All
the pictures which we have seen of him give
him the api-varance of having just been star

Thackeray’s grandfather was grandson of
Dr. Thomas Thackeray, Master of Harrow,
who had nineteen children. The size of the
family probably prevented its members, as
vears passed on, from keeping the run of
their relatives, and the novelist was amazed
and discomfited to discover that, in ridiculing
the Public Orator of Cambridge University,
he had been abusing his own near kinsmen.
BUTLER'S TARIFF SPEECH.
Vapor* Light as Air which Set the Con
vention in a Roar.
Chicago, July 11.—Gen. Butler last
night, in addressing the convention in sup
port of his minority report on the plat
form, said in substance:
He agreed to most of the points presented
in the majority report, but there was one
thing on which there was a most radical dif
ference between the two platforms. Both
agreed that there was no constitutional power
to raise revenue beyond the necessary wants
of the government, that it should be raised
according to the doctriuesof the fathers, and
that no tax should be laid on the neces
saries of life not produced in this
country. He came" here as no
mendicant, no beggar. He came here repre
senting more than 15,000.000 laboring men.
He had brought their condition before the
committee, and had demanded not that it
should give them anything but that when
taxing tbe people the" tax should be taken
where it woulo hurt them least. Wa9 not
that a reasonable demand? Did they think
that they could get along without that? He
thought not. He objected to the tariff plank
in the platform in the committee because it
took the committee thirty-six hours
to frame it, and if it took
those able men so long to frame it
and to get it in form there must be some reason
for that. If thev could not find out in thirty
six hours what" they wanted how were his
laboring men to find out what it meant.
'Laughter-1 There was a radical difference
between the convention and himseir. The
very able Chairman of the committee, Mr.
Morrison, thought that there should be no
such tiling, or could be no such thing, as pro
tection to American labor by taxation,
BUTLER’S BELIEF IN PROTECTION.
He ißutler) believed that there should be
such protection, snch fostering, such cherish
ing. Mr. Morrison could not yield liis convic
tion and he (Butier) could not yield Ills, and,
therefore, the committee had to spend all that
time to say something that would mean one
thing one way and another thing another
way. [Laughter.] He asked the delegates to
read that tariff plank and see it they
could find out exactly what it did
mean. It did not mean protection.
If it did. Col. Morrison was too honest a man
to bring it here; and yet it was so twisted
that it might mean protection. [Laughter.]
The Democracy had in its platform in 1880 a
plank of a tariff for revenue only, and it broke
the back of the most gallant soldier in the
country [laughter], and now they had a plank
“for public purposes exclusively.” Where
was the difference? ‘‘Exclusively” meant
only, and only meant exclusively. [Laughter.]
THE CURRENCY QUESTION.
Passing to the currency question, he said
that he affirmed the doctrine of Andrew
Jackson that the government alone could is
sue money, and he would rather be wrong
with Jackson than be right with the commit
tee. [Laughter.] He represented many
greenback men—good and true greenback men
like Allan G. Thurman [laughter]—and these
men were willing to come to the Democracy
to root out the corruption and wrong in the
government if the Democracy would have
them, but how were they received? with a
plank in the platform that “we are in favor
of honest money,” as if the Grccnbackers
were not. Who was not in favor of
honest money? If there was such
a man here, lot him be put out. [Laughter.]
As to civil service reform, he ventured to say
that there was not a man m the convention
infavoTof it, unless he was a schoolmaster.
[Laughter.] .Senator Pendleton had been the
author of the original civil service law, and he
has never been heard of since. [Laughter.]
George Washington could not have passed a
civil service examination for a $1,200 clerk
ship. [Laughter.] His early education had
been neglected, and in his will, written by
his own hand, he spelled clothes “cloaths.
[Laughter.]
BUTLER WANTS FREQUENT CHANGES.
For himself be wanted frequent changes
in office, in order to counteract the great
tendency to have aristocratic life offices. If
office was a good th j ng, then he wanted all
the people to have a chance at it, and if it
was’a bad thing, then it was too hard to put
it on one poor fellow for his whole lifetime.
[Laughter.] In conclusion, he said that if
the convention told the workingmen and
women of the country that they were to be—
he would not say protected—but fostered
and cherished, then the Democratic
party would sweep the country. Other
wise thev would remain in their
workshops" on election day end
the Democracy would be again defeated.
Theoretically he was a free trauer, hut practi
cally, when $200,000,000 of revenue had to be
raised on imports, there could be no such
thing as free trade, and so long as some in
dustry must be fostered, American men and
women should be taken care of. [Applause.]
He would call for a vote by States on his
substitute for the tariff plank in the majority
platform.
CONVERSE’S SUPPORT.
The Majority Platform Contains all that
Butler Asked for.
Chicago, July 11.—Mr. Converse, of
Ohio, followed Gen. Butler in speech-mak
ing on the tariff last night. He spoke in
favor of the adoption of the platform as
reported by the majority of the commit
tee.
He said that there was much in Butler’s
platform to which all could subscribe. There
wa* much in hi* tariff plank to which all could
subscribe. There was much of that plank
embodied in the report of the committee. The
majority report was made by representatives
of 37 State*. The dissent was from but a
single State. The majority report was a
harmonizing of the differences in the entire
Union, and should receive the support of the
Democracy. In that platform the Knights of
Labor were fully recognized, but the great
central and over-6hadowing idea of the plat
form was reform in the government from de
partment to department, and when that
should be done the party would be prepared
to take up other and less important matters.
This was the concurrent judgment of thirty
seven out of thirty-eight States. The party
waa sincere, earnest and determined in the
work of reform, and whoever might be nomi
nated by this convention would be elected
President of the United States. [Applause.]

Gwinnett Herald: On last Friday evening
Mr. P. 11. Long, who lives about three miles
aboTe Suwaunee, while plowing in his field
observed an angry looking cloud coming up
aud started lor tbe house. A negro boy 10 or
12 years old was working with him, and be
asked Mr. Lone lo let him ride to the lot.
The boy rode on ahead of Long, and just as
he arrived at the lot gate there came a flash
followed bv a terrific peal of thunder. The
lightning struck a tree, tearing its way
down aud killed the boy and horse. The
whole top of the bov’shat was literally burned
out, and the electric fluid passed down
through his body, producing instant death.
Mr. Long was ‘knocked down and badly
shocked, but no serious injury resulted to
him. Mr. Long first started to open the gate
for the hoy—if he had done so he would have
been killed—but before g tting there con
cluded to go by the well and get a drink of
water, and this saved his life.
A Clavton, Rabun county, writer, in the
Clarkesville Argue, says: Several years ago a
professional gambler came to this place. He
had nut been here but a short time until he
began to strike up with the kind of men he
was looking for —men of his own creed—who
had monev, and who would put it on the
board. It "seemed that every man that played
with him got up from the table feeling just like a
man does when be hain’t got any money. The
last that was seen of this man, whose name is
not known, he was sitting on a grave in the
Clayton cemetery, apparently waiting for
someone. It was thought that he had clan
destinely absconded, as’such men generally do
when they leave a place. Some years since a
crowd of road hands were working the road
that runs along the foot of the lull opposite the
cemetery, and, while throwing the dirt out of
a hole that had been caused by the pouring of
the water off the bank, they found the skele
ton of a man. The most credible solution
of this mystery is that this man was waiting
there to" meet someone to play him a game,
and was killed by his antagonist and con
cealed in that place. A graveyard must be a
solemn place to go to gamble.

JUDGE GRESHAM’S AMBITION.
He Wishes to Try for Senator Voor
hees’ Seat Before he Turn* to the
Bench.
It is understood, says a Washington
special, that the President is not alto
gether pleased with' Postmaster General
Gresham’s determination to remain in the
Cabinet until after the election, instead of
accepting the Circuit Judgeship made
vacant by the resignation of Judge
Drummond. The resignation wa9 with
held for some time, it is said, in order
to give the Postmaster General the op
portunity which he desired ot obtain
ing the’second place upon the ticket
with Mr. Arthur, as well as to take
tbe chances of being made the successful
dark horse for the Presidential nomina
tion itself. The resignation was tendered
at last with the understanding among the
members of the bar in Indiana and Illi
nois that the vacancy upon tbe bench
should be filled by Gresham's nomination
before the adjournment of Congress. It
seems that the Postmaster General pre
fers a political career to a seat upon the
bench, and that before accepting the lat
ter he wishes to make an effort for the
Senator’s seat now held bv Mr. Voorhees,
whose term expires on March 3 next. If
successful in this he will not want to be
Circuit Judge.
This action of Judge Gresham is not
regarded with lavor by Mr. Frank Hat
ton, who expected to be Postmaster
General, as a reward -for his efforts at
Chicago in behalf of Arthur’s nomina
tion. Members of the bar who have
casespending in the United States Courts
of the Seventh Circuit have, it is said,
written to their Senators and Representa
tives in Congress urging the importance
of filling the vacancy as soon as piwible,
and the President is said to have ffelded
very reluctantly to the request of Judge
Gresham’s friends that it should be kept
open until the next season.
