CLEVELAND ACCEPTS.
HIS LETTER IN ANSWER TO HIS NO
TIFICATION.
Opposed to Presidential Effort* for Be-Eiec
tion—The People Should not be H&r
rassed by Office Seekers at
the Polls—The Keports
of Workingmen.
Albany, N. Y., August 19. — The fol
lowing was received to-day by Colonel
Lamont, Secretary to Governor Cleve
land, who is at Upper Saranac lake, with
instructions to make it public on receipt :
Albany, N. Y., August 18, 1884—Gen
tlemen : I have received your communi
cation dated July 28, 1884, informing me
of my nomination to the office of presi
dent of the United States by the national
democratic convention, lately assembled
at Chicago. I accept the nomination
with grateful appreciation of the supreme
honor conferred and a solemn sense of
the responsibility, which in its acceptance,
I assume.
VIEWS ON THE PLATFORM.
I have carefully considered the plat
form adopted by the convention, and cor
dially approve the same. A plain state
ment of the democratic law’s and princi
ples upon which that party appeals to the
suffrages of the people needs no suple
ment or explanation. It should be re
membered that the office of president
is essentially executive in its nature. The
laws enacted by the legislative branch
of the government the chief executive is
bound faithfully to enforce, and when
the wisdom of the political party which
selects one of its members as a nominee
for that office, has outlined its policy and
declared its principles, it seems to me
that nothing in the character of the of
fice or the necessities of the case requires
more from the candidate accepting such
nomination than the suggestion of certain
well known truths, so absolutely vital to
the safety and welfare of the nation, that
they cannot be too often recalled or too
seriously enforced. We proudly call ours
a government by the people. It is not
such when a class is tolerated which arro
gates to itself the management of public
affairs, seeking to control the people in
stead of representing them. Parties are
the necessary outgrowths of our institu
tions, but the government is not by the
people when one party fastens its control
upon the country and perpetuates its
power by cajoling and betraying the peo
ple, instead of serving them. Govern
ment is not by the people when the re
sult, which should represent the intelli
gent will of free and thinking men, is or
can be determined by the shameless cor
ruption of their suffrages.
THE PRESIDENT SHOULD BE INELIGIBLE
FOR RE-ELECTION.
When an election to office, to be a se
lection by the voters of one of their num
ber, to assume for the time a public trust
instead of his dedication to the profession
of politics; when the holders of the bal
lot, quickened by a sense of duty, shall
avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken
and wlien suffrage shall be altogether free
aud uncorrupted, the full realization of a
government by the people will be at hand
and of the means to this end not one
would, in my judgment, be more effec
tual than an amendment to the constitu
tion disqualifying the president from re
election. When we consider the patron
age of this great office, the allurements
of power, the temptation to retain pub
ic id aces once gained, and more than all,
the availably a party finds in an incum
bent, when a herd of office holders, with
the zeal born of benefits received, and
fostered by the hope of favors yet to
come, and stand ready to aid with money
and trained political service, we recog
nize in the eligibility of the president for
re-election a most serious danger to that
calm, deliberate and intelligent political
action which must characterize a govern
ment by the people.
THE WORKINGMEN.
True American sentiment recognizes
the dignity of labor, and the fact that
honor lies in honest toil. Contented la
bor is an element of national prosperity.
Ability to work constitutes the capital
and the wages of the laborer, the income
of a vast number of our population, aud
this interest should be jealously pro
tected. Our workingmen are not asking
unreasonable indulgence, but as intelli
gent and manly citizens they seek the
same consideration which those demand
who have other interests at stake. They
should receive their full share of the care
and attention of those who make and ex
ecute the laws, to the end that the wants
and needs of employers and employed
shall alike be subserved, and the prosper
ity of the country, the common heritage
of both he advanced.
As related to this subject, while we
should not discourage the immigration
of those who come to acknowledge alle
giance to our government, and add to
our citizen population, yet as a means of
protection to our workingmen, a differ
ent rule should prevail concerning those
who, if they come or are brought to our
i land, don’t intend to become Americans,
i but will injuriously compete with those
justly entitled to our field labor. Iu my
letter accepting the nomination to the
office of governor, nearly two years ago,
I made the following statement, to which
I have steadily adhered: “The laboring
classes constitute the main part of our
population. They should be protected
hi their efforts, peaceably, to assert their
rights, 6 hen endangeied by aggregated
capital, and all the statutes on this sub
ject should recognize the care of the
state for honest toil, and be framed with
a view of improving the condition of the
workingman, a proper regard for the
welfare of the workingman being insep
arably connected. Within the integrity
of our institutions, none of our citizens
are more interested than they in guard
ing against any corrupting influences
which seek to prevent the beneficent
purposes of our government, and none
should be more watchful of the artful
machinations of those who allure them
to self-inflicted injury.”
against sumptuary laws.
Iu a free country the curtailment of
the absolute rights of an individual
should only be such as is essential to the
peace and good order of the community.
The limit between proper subjects of
government control, and those which
can be more fittingly left to the moral
and self-imposed restraint of the citizen,
should be carefully kept in view. Thus
laws unnecessarily interfering with the
habits and customs of our people, which
are not offensive to the moral sentiments
of the civilized world, and which are
consistent with good citizenship and
public welfare, are unwise and vexatious.
THE QUESTION OF TRANSPORTATION.
The commerce of the nation, to a
great extent, determines its supremacy.
Cheap and easy transportation should,
therefore, be liberally fostered within
the limit of the constitution. The gen
eral government should so improve and
protect its natural water ways as will
enable the producers of the country to
reach profitable markets. The people
pay the wages of the public employees,
and they are entitled to fair and honest
work, which the money thus paid should
thus command. It is the duty of those
entrusted with the management of these
affairs to see that such public service is
forthcoming.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
The selection and retention of subor
dinates iu government employment
should depend on their ascertained fit
ness and the value of then- work, and
they should be neither expected nor al
lowed to do questionable party service.
The interests of the people will be bet
ter protected, the estimate of public la
bor and duty will be immensely improv
ed, public employment will be open to
all who can demonstrate their fitness to
enter it. Unseemly scrambles for place
under the government, with the conse
quent importunity which embitters offi
cial life, will cease, and the public de
partments will not be filled with those
who conceive it to be their first duty to
aid the party to which they owe their
places, instead of rendering an honest
return to the people. I believe that
the public temper is such that the vo
ters of the land are prepared to support
the party which gives the best promise
of administering the government in an
honest, simple and plain manner, which
is consistent with its charter and pur
poses. They have learned that mystery
and concealment in the management of
their affairs cover the tricks and betray,
als of statesmanship they require con
sists in honesty and frugality, a prompt
response to the needs of the people as
they arise, and a vigilant protection of
all their varied interests. If I should
be called to the cliief magistracy of the
nation by the suffrages of my fellow-citi
zens, I will assume the duties of that
high office with a solemn determination
to dedicate every effort to the country’s
good, and with an humble reliance upon
the favor and support of the Supreme
Being, who, I believe, will always bless
honest human endeavors in the consci
entious discharge of public duty.

HENDRICKS ACCEPTS.
Indianapolis, Ind., August 20,1884. —
Gentlemen: I have the honor to ac
knowlege the receipt of your communi
cation notifying me of my nomination by
the democratic convention at Chicago as
a candidate for the office of Vice-Presi
dent of the United States. May I re
peat what I said on another occasion,
that it is a nomination which I had neither
expected nor desired, yet I recognize and
appreciate the high honor done me by
the convention. The choice of such a
body, pronounced with such unusual
unanimity a:id accompanied with so gen
erous an expression of esteem and confi
dence ought to outweigh all mere personal
desires and preferences of my own. It
is with this feeling, and I trust also from
a deep sense of public duty, I now ac
cept the nomination, and shall abide the
judgment of my countrymen. I have
examined with care the declaration of
principles adopted by the convention, a
copy of which you submitted to me, and
in their sum and substance I heartily en
dorse and approve the same. I am, gen
tlemen your obedient servant.

This form of cancer is the most pre
valent type, and is in many cases fatal,
! as it gradually eats away until it destroys
life. It would seem that Swift’s Specific
is indeed a specific for the scourage.
Mrs. A. Iv. Armstrong, Verona, Miss.,
| writes under date of May 16,1884: “After
i taking six bottles of Swift’s Specific the
j cancer is healing; is greatly reduced in
j size. It now gives me no pain, and my
; general health has so much improved
j that lain able to be up and attend to my
household duties—something I had not
been able to do iu several years. I feel
! that it will cure me.
Mr. M. X. Clayton, Red Clay, Ga.,
writes under recent date: “All painful
sensations iu my cancer are decreasing.
I feel decidedly better, and the cancer
has commenced to heal.”
Dr. M. F. Crumley, Oglethorpe, Ga.,
I writes und*r date of May 10th: “Mr.
Naves, who had such a terrible cancer
on his face, is about well. New 7 skin lias
grown all over his face, and looks almost
as well as it ever did, and I would like
some of your company to see him.”
Messrs. J. & J. B. Harter, of North
Manchester, Ind., writes under date of
May Ist: “The lady with cancer is im
proving right along. The Specific in
creased the discharge for the first few 7
days, but the soreness is gone and she is
much better.”
Mrs. W. H. Route, of Gordonsville,
Va., writes under date of May 11th, 1884:
“I am much improved. The cancer is
better; does not pain me at all: It is a
wonder to all of my friends.”
Mr. James E. Ligon,of Micliaux Ferry,
Va., writes under date of May 19, 1884:
“My condition is greatly improved; my
general health is good; my appetite good;
cancer decidedly better, and has begun
to heal nicely. How* can I ever repay
you?”
Mr. J. S. Rhodes, of Mill River, N. C.,
writes under date of May 19, 1884: “My
mother has been using Swift’s Specific
about two weeks, and is improving. The
cancer is not now painful and is heal
ing.”
Mr. T. J. Teate, of Wacissa, Fla.,
writes under date of May 2,1884: “Swift’s
Specifie has cured a cancer on my face,
and has almost made a young man out of
me.”
Mr. E. Tinsley, of Burr Mills, Va.,
writes May 1, 1884: “My w 7 ife has taken
four bottles of Swift’s Specific for a can
cer, and his improved wonderfully. I
shall keep it uphave no doubt it xvill
cure her.”

The failure of banks, where they take
your money and give you back a quarter
of it, or less, and sometimes nothing at all,
is bad enough in itself, but the example
it sets to other business men is the worst
thing about it. You buy milk tickets of
a milk man and expect to get the milk
each ticket calls for; but suppose the
milk man puts up a notice on his wagon
to the effect that the cows have gone into
liquidation, or that the wagon is tem
porarily embarrassed, and you can’t get
any milk. Then your milk tickets are
no better than a certificate of deposit on
a busted bank. Banks ought to be care
ful about failing or they will give milk
men a pointer that will cut short our
supply of milk. People can stand it to
be short of money; but they must have
milk.
The wicked people of the east had a
not very gentle reminder last Sunday
that it is aboiit time they were mending
their ways. A genuine earthquake shook
them up pretty lively for a few seconds,
and many, thinking then* last hour had
come, fell upon their knees and prayed
as well as they knew how, being entire
ly out of practice. There is no doubt
about the genuineness of the shock, as
an Italian peanut vender said: “Me ze
earthquake at Napoli; much afraida
housa tumble downa. ” Here is an op
portunity for the ministers to “point a
moral,” and we may look for an ava
lanche of earthquake sermons.”
The crop report for July is just out.
It shows the condition and prospect as
compared to an average to be as follows:
In North Georgia, cotton 82; corn 92;
sorghum 99; field peas 103; sweet pota
toes 97; wheat 105.
The average for the whole State on
August Ist, 1884, as compared to an
average is as follows: Cotton 85; corn
95; sugar cane 89; sorgham 91; field peas
95; sweet potatoes 102; wheat 100.
