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

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

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-

i'As related lo this subject , while wo "hould not

to acknowlege allegiance to our government ,
and add to our citizen population ; yet , as a
means of protection to our workingmen , a

who , if they como or nro brought to our land ,
do not intend lo beconia Americans , but will

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.

and those which can be more fittingly loft to

Thus , laws unnecessarily Inlorfcring with Iho

which nio nol offensive to the moral cent- !

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

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.

continued the governor , "nil those in favor of
any one else/raise their hands. " Ono man

mer , subject to an unending dispute. Be-voi
cities claimed the latter , n > ul woven stales may
claim the former. It could hardly bo duubtei ;
that the giv.it thought common to the niinda
of millions of men could lind expression at
the same time and alplaces widely reiiaratcd ;
but I think it is historically true that tlio
patrioticmtm who met in this town ol
Stiong in 18.T1 were pioneers of the great
movement which resulted in the organization
of the republican paity. Men of that diky
bulhled better than limy know , and initiated
the movement whoso grandeur and whoso des
tiny could nut then bo measured. Gieat par
ti OH never come by chiince , and , as a into , they
grow. 1'urtics cannot bo improvised or ex
temporized. They come from an instinct and
the masses of the people , and are not the product -
duct of political labors. Thus it
waa with the federal party ; with
the old lepublican party ; with the democratic
paity ; with the wing paity anil with that great
paity whoso axUtunco wo celebrate to-day. 1
am hero to exchange congrnlulalioim on tlio
spirit and courage of the party to continue its
great woiks in the future. "
