THE EPISTLE OF GROVER The Democratic Candidate Presents His Letter of Acceptance , "Which Possesses at Least the , Great Merit of Brevity , Be Considers the Party Platform Broad Enough to Stand on , .And Simply Gives His Views On Prominent Questions.

Governor Cleveland's letter formally accepting tlio democratic nomi nation for president of the United States ia as follows : Gentlemen I have received your communication dated Jnly 23 , 1SS4 , informing me of my nomination to the ollice of president of the United States , by the national democratic - cratic convention lately assembled at Chicago. I accept the nomination with a grateful appre ciation of the surnKMK HONOii coxmtiiKi ) -ami a solemn sense of the responsibility which , in its acceptance I assume. . I have carefully considered the platform 'adopted by the con vention , and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of democratic faith and the principle ! upon which thut party appeals ti theisutirages of the people KKKDS NO 8U1TI.KMENT or explanation. It should bo romomborei that the oilico of president is essentially execu tive in its nature. The laws enacted by tha legislative branch of the government its chiel executive is bound faithfully to enforce ; and when the wisdom of the political party which selects ono of ils members as u nominee for that oilico has outlined its policy and declared its principles , it seems to mo that there is nothing in the character ot the oflicc , or the cecessities of the case requiring more from'the candidate accepting such nomination , than SUGOK TIOX OF CEHTA1X WKI.L KNOWN lliVTIIS so absolutely vital to the safety and welfare of the nation that they cannot bo too often re called or too eeriously enforced. Wo proudly call ours a gov'.rnment of the people. It is not such when A class is tolerated which arro- rotates to itsolt Iho management of public silFairs seeking to control the people instead of representing them. Parties uro the iieccS' ' sary outgrowth of our institutions , but u gov- eminent is not of the people when one party FASTKXS ITS CONTHOI. fl'ON Till : COUNTUY and perpetuates It ? power , by cajoling and be traying the people instead of serving them. A government is not by the people , when a result which should represent the intelligent will of free and thinking men is or can bo de termined by the shameless destruction of theii sulfrages. When an election to oilico shall bo the KKLEUT1O.V BY TUB VOTKIW. of ono of their number , to assume for a time a public trust instead of his dedication to the profession of politics ; when the holders of the ballots , quickened by a sense of duty , shall avenge the truth mlrayed and pledge broken ; and when the suffrage uliall bo alto gether free and uncorritptcd , the full realiza tion of a government by tlio people will be at hand. And of the means to thU end , not ono would , in my judgment , bo more effective than an amendment to the constitution DISQUALIl-'YINY * THK 1'UK.SIDKNT I'ltOM IIK-KDECTION. When wo consider the patronage of this great ollice , the allurements of power , the tumpations to retain public place once attain ed ; and , nioro than all , tlio availability a par ty finds in an incumbent whom a horde of of- h'co holders with a zeal born of benefits re ceived , aad fostered by hopes of favors yet lo come , stand ready to aid with money and trained political service ; wo recognize in the piesident's eligibility tore-election a must serious danger to that calm , deliberate and in telligent political notion , which mast charac- teiizo a government by tlio people. A true American sentiment recognizes TUB DinSITY OF I.AK011 , : ind the fact that honor lies in honest toil. Contented labor is an elcmennt of national prospeiily. Ability to work constitutes the capital ; the wuges of labor the income of a va-t number of our p'jpiilulion ; and this inter est should ha jealously protected. Our working men nro not nskino ; unreasonable in- diligence * , but as intelligent mid manly citi zens they seek the same considerations which tuose demand who have oilier interests at stake. They ehould receive their full share of U3io and attention a. ? those who make and ox- eculo Iho Jawslhat the wants audnecds of the employers and the employed shall alike bo Mib.iervcd , and the prosperity of the counfry be advanced , mroilTKl ) J.AiiOit. i'As related lo this subject , while wo "hould not dUcoiirage the emigration of these who comate to acknowlege allegiance to our government , and add to our citizen population ; yet , as a means of protection to our workingmen , a dilfeienl rule ( mould prevail concerning those who , if they como or nro brought to our land , do not intend lo beconia Americans , but will injuiiuusly compete with thuso justly entitled ta our ( ield of labor , I.AI10II HIIOUI.ll UK I'liOTKCTKl ) , In a letter accepting the nomination to the oilico of governor nearly two years ngo , I I made tlio following statement to which I have Handily adhered : "Tho laboring classes constitute the main pait of our population. They should bo protected in their elforts peacefully to assert their rights when cndan- .gered by aggregate capital ; and all Htatutes on this subject should recognize the caroof the ttntu for honest toil and should bo framed with a vfow to improving the condition of the workingmen. " A proper regard for the WKU'AIIK OK TJIK WOIIKI.VOMKN is inseparably connected with the integrity of our institutions. None of our citizens are more interested than they in guarding against any conuptlng influences which seek to pervert the beneficent purposes [ < > f our go\ eminent and none should be nioro watchful of the art fill inarin.itions of those who allure them ti eolf-inllleted injury. rnommTotiY LAWS in n free country the cmtailmcnt of the ab solute lights of the Individual should only bo Mich M is ecsentlal to the lionet1 and Rood or der of the community.

Thus , laws unnecessarily Inlorfcring with Iho hablls nitil customs of any of iwr people , which nio nol offensive to the moral cent- ! inonls of the civilized world , and which are consistent with good citizenship and the pub lic welfare , nro unwi o and vexatious. THE TIUXM11WTATION ( JfKSTlON The commerce of a nation to a great extenl determines Ils eupiemacy. Cheap and ca j tnmspnilitlon should therefore bo liborallj fostered within the limits of the constitution. The general goverment should so improve ant : protect the natural waterways as will enable the producers of the country to reach a profit able market. CIVIL SKIIVICK ItUKSllM. The people pay tbo wages of the public em ployed , and they are entitled to the fair and Jionest work which tlio money thui paid should command. It is the duty of thoio entrusted - trusted with the management of their affairs to Bee thai such public eevvlco is forllicoming. The selection and retention of subordinates In government employment should depend upon their ascertained titne.i' , and the value of theii1 work , and they should bo neither ex pected nor allowed to do questionable party service. The Interests of the people will bo better protected ; the estimate of public labor and duty will bo linmensrtly improved ; public employment will bo oj > eii'to all who DKMONSTltATG TllHIIl VITSKSS to enter it. The unseemly scramble for places under the government with the consequent importunity which embitters oillclnl life , will ceaio ; and the public departments will not be filled with Ihoso who conceive it to bo their first duty to aid the parly to which they ewe their places , instead ol rendering a patient and honest raturn to the people. 1 bellevo that the public temper ia such that the voters of the hind are prepared to supporl Ibo puty which gives the best assurance - suranco of administering the government in the honest , simple and plain manner which is consistent wilh its character and purpose. They have learned that mystery und conceal ment in the management of their affaira cover liicks and helrayal. The statesmanship they require consists in HOXK3TY AND VUUOAUTV , a prompt response to the needs of the people as they arise and the vigilant protection of nil their varied interests. If I should bo called to the chief magistracy of the nation by the sulfragAs of my fellow citizens , I will asiunio the duties of that high oilico with a solemn determination termination to dedicate every effort to the country's good , and wilh an humble reliance upon the favor and support of the Supreme Being , who , I believe , will always bless honest human endeavors in the cjiiscienlious dis charga ot public duty.

On the sovonlh of August , 1881 , a county convention hold here , which otganizod in the name of the republican paity , nominated u full county ticket and adopted a republican platform. It is claimed by the people of Kranklin iimnty that this convention gave birth to the republican paity of the United States. The chiiiu has been disputed , but surviving memU-rj of Iho con vention claim that it was the first to formally adopt the nanio "Republican , " and a distinct ly lopubllcan platform , They celebrated the tliiitietlt anniversary to-day.
