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. POLITICAL NEWS. The Woman’s National .Equal Rights Party in California have nominate! Mrs. liolva A. Lockwood, a Washington law yer, for United States President. There is one negro elector on the Re publican ticket in New Y’ork. The whiles ate trying to get rid ol him, and the r.egroes to have him retained. Each week furnishes additional proof that a very largo majority of tho German Republicans will vote for Clovchthd. It is estimated that 30,000 persons visited Elmira, N. V'., on tho Bth inst., to attend the state fair, and to hear Gov. Cleveland speak. Anew method of collecting campaign funds is to solicit department clerks to become members of "state a sooiations,” and pay two years’ dues in advance. The state Republican convention of Missouri indicts tho “Frank James De mocracy.” This is hernuso Frank and hia hofles were advertised as, and were, leading attractions of the state fair at Moberly lust Friday. 'The Prohibitionists have nominated candidates for state officers in New Hampshire, Ma?ichu-etts, Kansas, and Nebraska. The Greet,bunkers have put out ticket for state officers in Connecticut. Rlair.e is a liquor ui trr in Washington, anti-liquor in Maine; but he would not vote for or against tho prohibition amendment to tho Maine constitution Thin is expected to cost him many votes in November. At Toledo, Ohio, on the 10th inst., Gov. Hendricks addressed fully 3,t><)) Democrats. The leading subjects were, the importance of confining tho revenue to tho wants ol tl o government, econom ically administered, the absurdity ol saying by law what a nun should cut or drink, and llbiino’s neglect of the rights of naturalized citizen*, as shown in the MdSwoeney case. Gen, Lop an spoke at Toledo, Ohio, on the lllh inst., affirming that tho Demo cratic party was a free trade party, doing just what British lords w. uld do if in their place, that it had uphold slavery and brought on the war, had never pass ed a single law promising protection to naturalized citizens (whereas tho Re publicans had), ha 1 opposed the eman cipation proclamation, and every act in favor of human iiLei ty. The outlook in New York, Ohio, Indi ana, Michigan and Wisconsin, is very ou - couraging. The disaffection of tho Ger mans in Illinois makes tho jtepubiiean piospeets gloomy. Carl Solturz had an audience el 10,000 at EaCres-e, Wisconsin, on the loth inst. His speech was received with great applause. Almost all tho Germans, and more than half the Irish, in that state, aro for Cleveland.
