Orovcr Cleve land yesterday gnvn out his letter no coptlng the presidential iioinlnntlon by the democratic party. It Is as follows: lion. William U Wilton and others, commit- tec, eta f Ucntlemen: In rcsrondlng to your formal notification of my nomination to tho presi dency by tho national democracy, I liopo I may e permitted to tyni the outitot that contin ued reflection ami observation have conilrmel tne In my Adherence to tho opinion which I hare herotofora plainly anil publicly declared touching tbf questions Involtcd In the canvas. This In tlmo above nil others when these Questions should bo considered In tho light af forded by iiiiober apprehension of tho principles upon which our government I based and a dear understanding of tho relation It beam to tho people for whoso bencnt It was created "We shall thus bo supplied with n tent by which tho valuo of any proposition relating to tho maintenance and administration of our govern ment can bo ascertained nud by which tho Jus tlco and honesty of ovcry political question can Ijo Judged. If doctrines or theories nra pro cntod which do not satisfy this test loral Americans must pronounce thorn falso and mis chievous. Tho protection of tho pooplo In thocxctuslvo use and enjoyment of their property nn 1 earn ings conoededly commutes tho special purpose and minion of our frco gotcrnment. This do. lgn Is so Interwoven with the structuro of our plan of rulo that failure to protect tho citizen in such use nud onjiynunt or Its unjuitltlablo -diminution by the gutcrnment tlaslt Is a be tray nl of thopeoplo's trust tut: TAiurr. We have, however, undertaken to build a treat tuition upon n plnu especially our own. To maintain It and to furnish through Its agen cy the moans for tho accomplishment of nation Vl objocts, tho American peoplo nre willing through federal taxation to surrender u part of their earnings aud Income. Tariff legislation presents a familiar form of federal taxation. Much legislation results assuredly In a tax upon tho dally llto of our peoplo us the trlbuto paid directly Into tho hand of tho tux gatherer. Wo feel the burden of these tariff taxes too palpa bly to bo pcrsuided by any sophistry thai thoy lo not exist, or nre paid by foreigners Such ttxes, representing n diminution of tho property rights of tho people, nro only Justltl able when laid nnd collected for tho purpose of malntalnln7cur government und furnishing tho means for tho accomplishment of Its legitimate purposes and functions. This Is taxation un der the operatfon of n tariff lor revenue. It no cords with tho professions of American f roe in stitutions nnd Its Justice and honesty answer itho toil supplied by a correct appreciation of 'tho principles upon which these Institutions trost This throry of tnrlff legislation mani festly enjoins strict economy In publlo expendi tures and their limitation to legitimate publlo uses, Inasmuch at It exhibits ns absolute ex- tortlonandoxsctlon by way of taxation from Mho substance of tho people beyond tho neccssl- ties of a careful aud proper administration of ' jorornment. Opposed to this theory tho dogma Is now boldly pressntrd that tariff taxation Is Justifia ble for tho express purpose and Intent of thero by promoting cspeilnl Interests nnd enter , prises. Such a proposition Is to clearly con trary to tho spirit of our constitution and so directly encourages tho disturbance by sottish ecus and greed of patriotic, sentiment that Its statement would rudely shock our peoplo If i ther dad not already been Insidiously allured i from the safe lundinarlcs of principle. Never have honest dcslro for national growth, patri otic devotion to country and sincere regard tor those who toll been to betrnyot to the support of a pernicious doctrine. In Its behalf the plea that our Infant Industries itiould bo fostered, did sorvlco until discred ited by our stalwart growth', then followed tho ntacnclca of a tcrrlblo war, which made our ipcoplo heedless of the opportunities for ulterior tchemos uftordod by tholr willing nnd patriotic pa j men t of unprecedented tribute; and now, after a long period of pcaoo, whon our oor burdenod countrymen ask for a relict and a icstoratlon to a fuller enjoyment of their In comes and earnings, thoy aro met by tho claim that tariff taxation Is an American system, tho continuance of which is necessary in order mat high wages may bo paid to our working men and a homo market bo provided for our farm products. These pretenses should no longer deceive. The truth Is that such a system Is dlroctly antagonised by every sentiment of Justice and fairness of which Americans am pro-cmlncntly proud. It Is also true that wbllo our working men and farmers can tho least of all our pooplo attend themsoUcs against tho harder homo life which such tariff taxation decrees, tho work- tngman suffering from the importation and em ployment of pauper labor Instigated by hit pro fessed friends and seeking security for his In terests In organized corporation, still watts for division of tho advantages secured to his em ployer under cover of a generous sollcltudo for bis wages, whilo tho farmer Is learning that tho S rices of his products are Died In foreign mar ots. where ho suffers from a competition In riled and built up by the system ho It asked to lupport. The struggle for unearned advantage at the doors of the government tramples on tho rights at those who patiently rely upon assurances of .American i quality. Kverr governmental con cession to clamorous faorttcs lntltcs corrup tion In political nffulrs by encouraging tho ox- puhdllurc of money to rtebsueii ttuffraiio In sup port of a policy directly fatorable to prtvato and selfish gain. This In tho end must strangle patriotism nnd weaken popular confidence In -tho roctltudo of republican Institutions. Though the subject of tariff legislation in- volvcs a question of markets It also Involves a question ef moral. Wo cannot with Impunity iDertnlt lnlustlce to taint tho spirit of right and itqulty, which It the llfo of our republic and we -hall fall to roach our national destiny It greed .and aolflshncss lead tho nay. Kccognlxlng these truths tho national democ racy will seek by the application of Just and sound principles to cquallto to our people the blessings due them from tho government they support;, to promote among our countrymen a closer community ot interests cementoa by patriotism aud national prido and to point out a fair field, where prosperous and dltcralned American enterprise may groar and thrive In the wholesome atmosphere ot Amorlcan Indus try, ingenuity and Intelligence. Tariff reform is still our purpose. Though we oppose the theory that tariff laws may be nassed having for their object the granting of discriminating and unfair government aid to private ventures, we wage no exterminating -war against any Amorlcan interests. We be lieve a readjustment ean be accomplished In no- control tho suffrage of the states through fed eral agencies develops a design, which no ex planation ean mitigate, to revorso tho funda mental nnd safe relations between the people and tholr government. Such an attempt can not fall to bo regarded by faithful men at proof of a bold determination to secure the ascend ancy of a discredited party In reckless dlsrc gnrd of n frco expression of the popular will. To resist such n scheme Is an Impulso ef de mocracy. At all times and In all placet wo trust the people. As p gainst n disposition to force tho way to federal power wo present to them as our claim to tholr confidence and sup port a stoady championship of their right. MONK. The pooplo nro entitled to sound and honest money, abundantly sufficient In volume to sup ply their business needs. Hut whatever mnr be tho form of tho peoplo's currency, national or stnte-whoihrr gold, sltvcr or pper-t should be so regulated and guirded by govern mental action, or by wlio and caroful laws, that no one can bo deluded as to tho certainty and stability of Its value livery dollar put In to tho hands of the peoplo should be ot tho same lntrlnslo value, er purchislnj power. With this condition absolutely guaranteed, both gold and stlrrr can be safely utlllr.-d upon equal terms In tho adjustment ot ourcurronoy. In dealing with this subject uu aolllsh schemo should bo allowed to Intcrrono nnd no doubtful experiment should bo attempted. The wnnti of our peoplo, arising from tho doflclenoy or Imperfect distribution of money circulation, ought to bo fully nnd honestly roconlrod and cfllclently remedied. It should howovcr, be constantly retnembcrod that the kiconvenlonce or loss that might arise from such a situation can bo much easier borne than tho universal distress which must follow a dls credited cur rency. CIVlf. IIKHVICB. Publlo officials aro the agents ot tho people. It Is therefore their duty to sccuro for those w horn they represent the best and most efllctcnt pcrfiirmanco of public work. Tills plainly can bo best accomplished by regarding ascer tained fitness In the selection of government employe Theso considera tions alone nro sufficient Justllluatlon tor nn honest adherence to tho luttor and spirit of civil servKo reform. Tliero ore, how ever, other features of this p'nn which nbun duntly commend It Through Its operation worthy merit In every station und condition of American llfo Is recognized In tho distribution of employment while Its application tends to r.tlso tho standard of political netlvlty from spoils hunting and unthinking pirty affiliation to tho advocacy of party principles by rooson andurgument r-KNSlONH. Tho American peoplo on generous and grate ful! nnd they Imo Impressed those character istics upon their govirnmont. Therefore, nil rntrtotloaud Just cltlicns taunt commond lib eral consideration for our worthy veteran soldiers and for tho fnmlllcf of thoso who have died. No lomplulnt should bo m ido ot tho nmountof nubile money paid to those actually disabled or mado dependt nt by reason of army service. Hut our pension roll should be a roll of honor, uncontnmlnatcd by ill desert and unvltlntod by demagogic uso. This Is due to thoso whoso worthy names adorn tho roll nnd to all our people who delight to honor tho bravo and tho true. It Is also dut to those who In years to coino shall bo allowed to hear reverently and lovingly tho story of American patriotism and fortitude Illustrated by our pension roll. Tho preferences uccordod to veteran soldiers in public omploymcntshouia be sccurod to them honestly and without eva sion und when capable nnd worthy, tholr claim to the helpful regard and gratltudo ot their countrjmeu should bo ungrudgingly acknowl edged. EDUCATION, The assurance to the people of the utmost In dividual liberty consistent with penco nnd good order Is a cardinal principle ot our government This gives no sanction to vexatious sumptuary laws which unnecessarily Interfere with such habits and customs of our peoplo ns aro not offensive to a Just moral sense nnd aro not inconsistent with good citizenship and tho publlo welfare. Tho same principle requires that tho lino between tho subjects which aro DroDorlv within governmental control and those which aro moro llttlngly left to parental regulation should be carefully kopt In viow. An enforced education, wisoiy deemed a proper preparation for citizenship, should not Involve tho impnlrmont ot wholo soma parental authority, nor do violence to the household conscience. I'atoriullsm In govern ment llnds no upproval In the creed ot democ racy. It Is a symptom of misrule, whether It Is manifested lit unauthorized gifts or by nn unwarranted control of personal and family affairs. , IMMIUMATION Our peoplo, still hcrlshlng tho feeling of hu mano fellowship which bolongs to bur beginning as a nation, rcaulro their government to ex press for them tholr Bympathy with all thoso who aro oppressed under any rulo less free than ours. A generous hospitality, which Is ono ot tho most prominent' ot our national characteristics, prompts us to welcome tho worthy and industrious of all lands to homes and citizenship among us. This hospitable senilmont Is not violated, howovcr, by careful nnd reasonablo regulations for tlw proscoutlon ot the public health, nor does It justify the reception ot Immigrants who have no appreciation ot our Institutions and whoa presence among us Is a tnonaeo to -pcaoo and good order.

CONCLUSION In an lmperfoet nnd lncomploto manner I have endeavored to stato aomo of tho things which nocord with tho creed anil Intention ol tho party to which I havo given my lifelong allegiance, My attempt has not been to Instruct ray countrymen nor my party, but to rcmlnC both that democratic doctrine Ilea near tho prln clplcs ot our government nnd tends to proraow tho people's good I nm willing to bo accused o! addressing my countrymen upon trite topics an4 In homely fashion, for I bellevo that Important truths nro found on the suriaco oi mougui ant that thev should bo stutcd In direct and simple terms.

Tho sntno trouble Is just now brood ing over Mr. Cleveland tlint tnndo tho last duyi o( his administration unhap py, llottvcun 18St mid 1888 ho had do voted hlmiclf to courting mugwump favor, nnd had turned his lmulc In tho most positive nnd offensive way on tho lenders of his own party. It way not until about the tlmo of his ronomlna tlon that It began todmvii upon hiin that his coddling of the mugwumps and toploftlunl trentrnent of tho party workers hr.d alienated the men whoso support ho most needed in thu cam paign, while bringing him nothing In return but thu sweetened wind of a small contingent of pompous persons, who strutted round as best thinkers und lenders of public opinion. When ho saw thu true situation hu began to hedge. The crowd that had been clam oring for oiUccs, but had been put oil with elvll-sorvlee tcforin excuses, got it hearing. Tho barriers wore thrown down, and, to thu horror of thu mug wumps, tlio olllccs were distributed upon tho old plan of spoils to thu vic tors. It was too lato to remedy the mistake alrcttdy made. Thu mugwumps wero disgusted, and the old leaders nnd political workers wero not won. So that ttl the close of Mr. Cleveland's ad ministration the cloud rested on it of having thrown overboard all its pro fessions In favor of clvil-survlce reform without profiting ut all by the transac tion. Thu leaders did not trust him. 11c lug defeated, ho fell again into thu Is very certain, will bo cast for tho ro publican ticket. With the democrats tho situation is different. The loss of New Yorlc is tantamount to the final collapse vjf thotr party and its candi dates. Unless Clcvuland curries Mew York, ho will not stand n ghost of a ehauco of election. Accordingly, his party Is preparing to make the utmost efforts to secure the vote of thcKtnpIro state. Against thu loss of voters who. abandon frco trade and join tho ranks for protection, against tho thousands of new voters, now como of nge, most ly native born und for protection, the democrats count upon the courts ns naturalization mills to grind out voters from the Immigrant class now pouring In from thu slums of Europe, it Is to Imj hoped thut the cholera lobulations excluding Immigrants may last until nfler the election, if they do, It will result in a large diminution of the dem ocratic voto In Now York.

Advcrtlsor. represent shall bo Indorsed by the suftraRct eordanoe with the principles we profess without of my countrymen I will assume the disaster or demolition. We bellevo that the duties ot the creut office for which I havo been embraces of the mugwumps, and for the last four years has turned his buck on the leaders and workers. And now It appears that ho Is nbottt to repeat thu experiment of 1883 and undertake to conciliate tho men who ltutc him nnd whom bo despises. There Is no patronage in hand to bo divided, but thoro tiro lots of federal olllccs In the dlr.tanco which democratic success will nut at his disposal. Ho Icuowb very well knows it hotter now thnn over before that Messrs. Mnrph nnd Slieehnn and Crokcr and the rest are not so mildly in love with him or so nt duntly devoted to tho principles of thu cause ho represents as to roll up their sleeves und go to work for his elec tion unless they have some positive ns- surunces concerning the distribution of pattonagu in tltuovcnt of his success. For these gentlemen mtiko politics n business, and It is business with them all tho time. Nothing is moro notorious than that tho democratlo canvass has latrL'ed. nnd thu wholo party in tho state has been listless nnd apathetic simply bi'causo tho Tammany loaders had not come to an understanding with Mr. Cleveland ns to tho distribution of tho olllccs. It has been said by some prominent ones that thoro would have to bo n detlnlto arrangement, not merely a verbal promise, but a written contract, witlt Mr. Cleveland on this subject before the Tammany organiza tion would exert Itself effectively in his bohnlf. Hut it Is dangerous to put such things in writing, and there is no doubt that tho dinner given by Mr. Clovclnnd to leading democrats tho othor night was a device, suggested perhaps by Mr. Whitney, to avoid this dilHoulty. T,hero havo been no disclosures ns yet of what took placer at this consul tation, but ouo thint is certain: that tho dinner meant business, and that tlm business was to reach nn under standing by which Tnmmnny Hall, in consideration of tho federal patronage, is to tuko hold und whoop up tho presi dential ticket. Whon Mr. Cleveland sent out his Invitations to tho Tammany loaders It was u sttrronder on his part to the machine. Talk as ho may about his uvcrslou to muchlnu methods, he knows they uro necessary to his suc cess, and If ho should bo elected It will bo, as Tho Sun says, "because ho rep resents tho methods of Senator Hill, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Crokcr and tho de mocracy of tho stato of Now York." It Is his second surrender to tho maehlno. Whether clinched by written docu ments or not has not yet appeared. It might as well bo, for the conviction that a bargain wosmiulo amounts, with or without written proofs, to a cor talntv In tho public mind.
