LaFayettk, Ga., Sept. 5, 1884.
Messrs. Trammell Starr, 1. H. Glover,
and V- A’- Feat hast vtt .-
Gentlemen —Your favor, informing
me of the notion of the Democratic Con
gressional Convention, lately assembled
at Home, bus been received.
Words arc inadequate to express tho
gratitude 1 feci for tho continued confi
dence ui the people implied in my until,i
mous nomination ns the Demo-'ratic can
didatc lor Congress in this district by
this body of representative citizens.
This expression of approval of my offi
cial action in (lie past awakens a pro
found appreciation of the grand duties
und responsibilities of this public trust,
and should the action ol your bo ’y be
ratified by the people at the polls, 1 shall
earnestly endeavor to faithfully discharge
the *ame.
In accepting the position assigned me,
it is proper for uto to re avow my adher
ence to the great Democratic principles
as embodied in our National platform,
and under tbc application of which in the
past the people ol this country have en
joyed the highest degree of happiness
and prosperity. The people oi this dis
trict who are devoted to these principles
have cause for congratulation itt the har
mony that now prevails among them,
despite the unfortunate differences of the
past.
With the highest esteem for each of
you, and those you represent, 1 am very
truly yours, J. U. Clements.
C'l.I.V I I.AKII'S Ul (Oltl).
Labor is organized in the h'lalo of
New York. Its highest tody is tho
Stele Trade* Assembly. D is not organ
ized for political | urposes, hut has for its
sole object the advancement of tho con
dition of the workingmen in all things,
it hn lor years applied to tho great polit
ical organizations for assistance and con
sideration. It has received these only
from the Democratic parly. Organiza
tion in this branch of endeavor has had
its efTect, as it does everywhere ; and so
it came about ti nt in 1882, us a result < I
organization, and for the first time, it pre
sented well defined contentions, with
which it appeared before tho two great
parties of the Stale—the Democratic and
Republican. The Republican party gave
no heed w hatever to its requests. Tho
Democra io party listened; and believing
in them embraced them in their platform
of that year. Upon this platform Gro
ver Cleveland was placed by the Democ
racy of the State, and upon-it lie was
elected to be Governor, llis faithful
adherence to tho pledge, and promises
of that platform is known of all men, ur,d
so faithful asjto he regarded tho begin
ning of anew era in polities, when candi
dates would regard tho obligations ol
formulated party utterances.
The plank relating to labor was the
twelfth, and road us follows : 11 Wo reaf
firm the policy always maintained by tho
Democratic party, that it is of the first
importance that lubor bhould bo made
free, healthful, and secure ofjust remun
eration. That conviot labor should not
come into competition with tho industry
of law-abiding citizens. That the labor
of children should he surrounded with
such safeguards as their health, their
rights of education and their future, us
useful members of the community de
mand. That work shops, whether large
or small, should he under such sanitary
control as will insure the health arid com
fort of the employe 1, an 1 will protect all
againat unwholesome labor and surround
ings. That labor shall have tho same
rights as capital to e mihinu for its own
protection, and that all legislation which
cramps industry, or which enables the
powerful to oppress the weak, should he
repealed ; and, to promote tho interests
of lubor, we recommend tho collection oi
statistics and information respecting the
improvements, live-ds and abuses of the
various branches ol industry.”
This plunk Grover Cleveland accepted
in its entirety, not only in the Utter but
in the spir.t, as the subsequent record
will show, in ilie following words, which
pro taken from his letti r of acceptance ol
the gubernatorial nomination, dated at
Huffulo, October 7, 1882: ‘'The plat
form of principles adopted by tho con
vention meets with my hearty approval.
The doctrines therein enunciated ere so
distinctly and explicitly staled that their
amplification seem , scarcely necessitated,
if elected to the office for which I have
been nominated I shall endeavor to iui
press them upon my administration and
make them tlio policy of the Stale.”
And again further en he accepts the
labor contentions unreservedly. “Tho
laboring classes constitute the main part
of our population. They should bo pro
tected in their efforts to assert their
rights when endangered by aggregated
capital, and all tiututes on this subject
should recognize the care of the State for
honest toil, and ho framed with a view of
improving tlio condition ol the working
man.”
It is now a matter of history that this
pledge has been most faithfully fulfilled.
Having thus found the Democratic
party and its candidate willing to accept
tlicso contentions as their own, the rep
resentative laboring men proceeded to
put them into effect by drafting tills to
present to the Legislature. Thus in an
orderly and efficient way, in fact the only
way in which to put them into effect,
these contentions were formulated into
measures. Four bills were introduced in
the Legislature ol 1883, tho first year of
Governor Cleveland’s term.
One was the bill providing for the es
tablishment of a Bureau of Labor Statis
tics. This the labor people regarded ns
by far the most important of till the
measures they bad presented. So soon
ns tho bill reached him, tlio Governor
showed bis intention of keeping bis
pledges by signing it.
Another was the bill prohibiting the
manufacture ofeigars in tenement bouses,
which the Governor promptly signed.
This law was subsequently declared do-
Icotive in title, and therefore, unconsti
tutional, by the courts; another bill was
introduced in tho Legislature of ISS4,
tho defect in the title having been reme
died, was passed and the Governor sign
ed It again. It is a lair illustration ol
the recklessness and audacity which has
inspired the effort to mislead the public
mind as to tlio Governor’s attitude to
wi ld measures of this character to cite
the fact iu this place that it has been re
peatedly and persistently asserted that
the Tenement House Cigar bill was ve
toed by him—a statement absolutely the
reverse of true —but not more so than
the other charges with which the oppo
sition, valid reasons failing, has endeav
ored to sustain itself.
Another was the bill prohibiting tlio
manufacture of woolen hats in the State
prisons, penitentiniics and reformatories
of the State, nod this was promptly
signed by the Governor. For several
years ineffectual efforts bad been made
to pass this bill.
The fouttli and last of the series of the
labor bills for ls>3 was tlio bill to abolish
conviot labor in Ftates prisons. This
bill niot with very great opposition from
tho Republicans ol tho Legislature, and
Thomas F. Grady, then a Senator from
the city of New Yora, moved that the
hill be laid aside and introduced a ...bill
providing that the question he submitted
to tho voters of the .State, Thus it was
that tho hill never reached the Governor,
and no opportunity was off irded him to
act upon It during the session of 1883.
The question was submitted to tho
voters iiCNovember, 1883, and decided
by a very largo majority against the con
tinuance of conviet prison lubor. Thus
it is shown that every hill relating to la
bor which reached the Governor in 1883
he promptly signed.
