' NEW YoiiK. Sept , 2(5. ( The following is ex-
1'rosidcnt Cleveland's luttcr , accepting the
nomination of the national democratic con
vention to the presidency :
Hos.Vii.MAML. . WII.MJS AXI > OTIIBIW OF
TUB COMMITTBE , Brc. t Uciitloinon In rc-
tpondmg to your formal notification of my
nomination to the presidency by the national
democracy , I hope 1 may ho pormlttcd to nay
nt the out ot that continued reflection and
observation nave conllrmcd mo tn my adber-
cnco to the opinions which I have heretofore
plainly and ouhllcly declatod , touching the
questions involved In the canvass.
Tub is a time above alt others when these
questions should bo considered In the II lit
afforded by a sober apprehension of the prin
ciples upon which our government is based
and a clear understanding of the relation It
bears to the people for whoso benellt It was
created.Vo shall thus bo supplied with a
test by which the value of any proposition
relating to the maintenance nnd administra
tion of our government can bo ascertained ,
and by which the justice ana honesty of
every political question can to judged. If
doctrines or theories are presented which do
nov.satisfy tills test loyal Americanism must
pronounce them fatso and mischievous.
The protection of the people In the ex
clusive use and enjoyment of their property
and earnings concedcdly constitutes the
( special purpose and mission of our free
( uvcrnmcnt. 'Ibis design Is so interwoven
with the structure of our plan of rule that
{ allure to protect the citizen In such use anu
enjoyment , or their unjustifiable diminution
by the government itself , Is a betrayal ot the
people's trust.
The Turin' In u Tax.
'We have , however , undertaken to builo
creat nntlun upon H plan especially our own.
To maintain U ana to furnish through its
opcno.v the means for the accomplishment of
uutional objects the American people are
willing , through federal taxation , to sur.
render a part of their earnings and income.
TurilT legislation presents a. familiar form
of federal taxation , burn legislation results
ossutcdly In a tax upon the dully lift ) of our
people as the tribute paid directly into the
bard of the tax gathcroi. Wo feel the bur
den of these tariff taxes too palpably to bo
puisuaUcd by any sophistry that they do not
exist , or am paid by foreigners.
Such taxes , representing a domlnutlon of
the property rijhts of the peomc. are only
justitiiiolo when laid and collected for tbo
purpose of maintaining our government and
furnishing the means for the accomplish
ment ofjlts legitimate purposes and functions.
This Is toxnlion undue the operation of a
tariff lor rovonun. It accords with the uro-
fessions of American free institutions , and its
justice and honesty answer the test supplied
by u correct appreciation of the principles
upon which these Institutions rest
This theory of tariff legislation manifestly
enjoins strict economy In puullc expenditures
and their limitation to legitimate public uses
inasmuch as nexhitiiis as absolute extor
tion any exaction by way of taxation from
tbu substance of the people uoyond the neces
sities of a careful and proper administration
of government. ,
Contrary to the Constitution. -
Opposed to this theory the doeiha is now
boldly presented that tariff taxation is justi
fiable for the express purpose and Intent of
thereby promoting special interests nnd en
terprises. Such a proposition is so clearlv
contrarv to the spirit of our constitution and
no directly encourages the disturbance by
selfishness and greed uf patriotic sentiment ,
that Us statement would rudly shock our
people If they had not already been insidi
ously allured from the safe land marks of
principle. Never nuvo honest desire for na
tional growth , patrlotfe devotion to country ,
and sincere regard for those who toll , been
so betrayed to the support of n
pernicious doctrlno. In its behalf
tbo plea that our Infant tntlustiics
should be fostered did service until
dircredltrd by our stalwart growth ; then
followed the exigencies of a terrible war ,
which made our people heedless of the op
portunities for ulterior schemes afforded by
their willing nnd patriotic payment of un
precedented tribute ; anil now , after a long
period of peace , when our overburdened
countrymen ask for relief and a restoration
to a fuller enjoyment of tbolr incomes and
earnings , they are met by the clnliii that tar
iff taxation for the sake of protection Is an
American system , the continuance of which
is iicccssury In order that high wages may
ha nmd to our worlilngmcn and n homo mar
ket be provided for our lurm products.
Should He No Longer Droeltvd.
rtieso pretenses should no longer deceive.
The truth Is that such a system Is directly
antagonized by every sentiment o ! justice
nd fairness ot which Americans ore pre
eminently proud. It is aso ! true that while
our workluginen and farmers can. the least
of all our people , defend themselves against
Jho harder homo life which such tariff taxa
tion decrees , the worklngman , buffering
from the importation and employment of
pauper labor , Instigated by his professed
friend ! , and scoring security for his inter
ests in organized co-operation , still waits for
a division of the advantages secured to his
employer under cover of a generous solic
itude for hlb wages , while the farmer U
learning tlmv tbo prkoi of his products are
ilxod in foreign martlets , whore ho suffers
from n com petition invited and built up by
the system ho is nskcd to support ,
The struggle for unearned advantage at
the doors of tba government trurnploson the
rights of these who patiently rely upon
assurances of American cquiillty. ISyeiy
rovorninantul concession to clamorous favor-
ties invites corruption In political affairs by
encouraging the oxuandlturo of money to
dobaucb suffrage in support of u policy
directly favorable to prlratuund sellish gulti.
This lu i he end must strangle patriotism
and weaken popular confidence n the recti
tude of reoubllran Institutions.

Tlmt I'orcc Illll Again.
Tbo ndmtnUtratlon and manncreraent of
our government donend upon popular will.
Fcdornl power Is thoinstrumcnl of that will , ,
not Its master. Therefore the ntlcmpt of
the opponcnti of democracy to interfere with
nnd control tha suffrage of the stales through
fodarul agencies develops n design
which no explanation cnn mlllgaio to
reverse the fundamental and safe relation's
between the peoplti nnd their government.
Such mi attempt cannot fail to be regarded
by faithful men as proof of a bold determina
tion to secure tbo ascendancy of a discred
ited parly In reckless disregard ot n free ex
pression of the popular will. To rcsUt such ,
a schema Is an impulse of it domocrauv. At
alt times and In all places , we trust the people
ple ns against a disposition to force the xvny
to federal power , and wo present to them as
our claim to their conlldcnco and support a
sierdy championship of tholr rights.

The people are entitled to sound and honest
money , abundantly sufllcient In volume to
supplv their business needs. But whatever
may bo the form of the people's currency ,
not'ional or state whether gold , silver or
paper It should bo so regulated and guiirdoii
by jTovernrnotitul ' action , or by wlso and
careful laws' , that no one can bo deluded as
to the certainly and stability of its value.
E\ery dollar put Into thohamls of tbo people
should bo of the sumo Intrinsic value , or
purchasing powor. With this condition ab
solutely guaranteed , both cold and silver can
bo safely utilized upon equal terms In the ad
justment ot our cuircncy.
In dealing with this subject no selfish
scheme should bo allowed to Intervene mid
no doubtful experiment should bo attempted.
Tba wants of our people , arising from the
doliclency or Imperfect distribution of money
circulation , ought to be folly and honestly
recognized und efllclently remedied. It
should , however , bo constantly remembered
that the inconvenience or loss that might
nriso from such a situation , can be much
easier borne than the universal distress which
must follow a discredited currency.
CH11 Scttlco Itoforni.
Public officials are the agents of the peoplo.
It Is therefore their duty to secure tor those
whom tliov represent the best and most ortl-
clent performance of public work. This
plainly can bo best accomplished by regardIng -
Ing ascertained Illness In the selection ol gov
ernment emplovoa. Theseconslderatlonsalono
arc suftlclct.t justlllcation fur an honest ad
herence to the Iclt-jr and spirit of civil ser
vice reform. There are , however , other
features of this plan which abundantly com
mend It. Through Its operation worthy
merit in everv station anil condition of
American life is recognized In tbo distribu
tion of public employment , while Its appltca
tion tends to raise the standard of political
activity from spoils hunting and unthinking
party aftlllalion to the advocacy of party
principles by reason uud argument.
Our Tension IIVH. .
The American people are generous nnd
grateful : und they have Impressed these
characteristics upon their government.
Therefore , all patriotic anil just decisions
must commend liberal consideration for our
worthy vetor.in soldiers and for the families
of these who have died. No complaint
should bo of the amount of public
money paid to lhos > o actually disabled or
made dependent by reason of nrtny service.
But. our pension roll should bo a roll of
honor , uncontaminateu bv ill desert and un-
vitiated by demogoglc me. This U duo to
those whoso worthy names nilorn the roll
and lo all our people who delight to honor
tbo bravo and tbo true. It Is also duo to tboso
who in years to como should bo allowed to
hear , rovcrmitl.v'nnd lovingly , the story of
American putiollsm uud fortitude , Illus
trated by pur pon&ion roll. The preferences
accorded to veteran soMlers In public em
ploy men ! , should bo secured to them honxstlv
and without evasion , and when capable and
worthy their claim to the helpful regard and
gratitude of their countrymen should bo un
grudgingly acknowledged.

for citizenship , ahould not involve the Im

nor do violence to tbo household conscience.
Paternalism in government linds no approval
in the creed of democracy. Ills a symptom
of misrule , whether It is manifested in unau
thorized gifts or by an unwarranted control
of personal nnd family affairs.
Immigration.
Our people , still cherishing the feeling of
human fellowship , which belongs to our
beginning as a nation , require their govern
ment to express for them their sympathy
with all ttiodo who are oppressed , under any
rule lebs free than ours. A generous hos
pitality , which is ono ot the most prominent
of our national characteristics , prompts us to
welcome the worthy and industrious of nil
lands to homes and citizenship among us.
This hospitable sentiment is not violated ,
however , by careful and reasonable regula
tions for the protection of Iho public health ,

who have no appreciation of our institutions ,

listened to the debate. Hopjbllcan enthusi

enburg , Cozad and Overtou were represented
by largo delegations. Mr. Kern opened lu a
ono hour talk. About tlftodii minutes was
devoted to a general talk. The balance of
his first hour was used principally to defend
his record in congress. His attempts to ex
plain his connection with the gas corpora
tion bill were unsatisfactory. Ho made the
statemeatthat a whtto man of Nebraska was
in a worse condition than the negro slave had
over been.
Mr. Whltchead followed In an hour aint a
quarter talk pouring hot shot into the pee
ple's party conerally and Kern particularly ,
lie cited the ftct to Iho audience that the in
dependent platlcrm contained no plank rela
tive to pensions , giving as a reason therefor
that they wanted the southern vote and , m
this connection referred to Weaver's recep
tion in the south. Hn brought tbo fact before
the audience of Kern's refusal to vote for
pension appropriations. Ho review oa the
llnunclal situation in an able manner and also
produced n letter from Mr. Pickler that con
tradicted Mr. Kern's former explanation'of
his vote on tbo Pickler bill. It was n mas
terly effort on the part of Mr.Vbitehead
nnd It was almost impossible to
hold the enthusiasm manifested dur
ing bis sncpch In check. At the close.of Mr.
Whitcbead's speech a former Independent
came forward and denounced Mr. Kern und
his congressional actions. As soon us order
wns restored Mr. Kem closed in a tlfteen-
minutetalK. It was quite evident that he
was embarrassed , and the ouly explanation
he offered was practtcallv that he would do
better if ho was returned to congress. A
largo and enthusiastic lopublican meeting
was belli in the nvcning , 300 uniformed mou
being in line with torches and flamboaux.

Nr.w YOUK , Scot , 20. The Kcd n lino"
steamer Caracas from La Giiayr. * and Puerto
Cabello , Venezuela , arrived nt her dock In
Brooklyn this afternoon. On her trip to
La Guayra the Caracusfouud the United
States war vessels Chicago and Kcari.irgo
there nnd wns glad to sec the Concord riding
ut anchor In the tnrbor of Puerto Cabollo.
Whllo the Caracas was at the latter port n
body of n ioj > .i.'ii United States marines was
sent on board from tbo Concord nnd re *
muliied on board as long a * she was 111 port.
Puerto Caoello Is In possession of the In
surgents , or Crannlsts , and the marines wcro
nlaced on board the sto.imcr as a matter of
precaution. No Indignities were offered to
the steamship people by the Insurgcnt-i , but
It was thought best to guard against any
emergency.
While the Caracas wns lu Iho harbor of
La Uuavra no attempt was made by the
Venezuelan government olllcliils to molest
the people on board or to Interfere in any
way with the steamer. No marines were
placed on board her.
Por.iza , the Venezuelan minister to this
country , was at the dook to meet the
Caracas. On board wcro his wife anil son ,
who ha'.l been intrusted wlih u mission
from the Venezuelan govern men t to his
father , the minister. This mission , his
brother Carlos said , wus in relation to the
South Portland , which has sailed for Trinidad
with arms und munitions ot wur for tbu
revolutionists of Venezuela , it Is snld.
Tlio minister declined to disclose what the
Instructions were that ho has received from
Caracas. Ho .said ho wished tlrit to have n
conference with Ills son before making public
the intention of his government ,
Carlos Barlot , the minister's son , after
having had a talk with Ins brother , Nlcamor ,
said the news from Caracas was very encour
aging for tbo government. Hn said General
1) . Menu as had loft Curacoa for Caracas to
taku command of the army. Whllo atCuracoa
ho received numerous telegram ; from the
government generals calling htm to the com
mand. He has uu army of 5,501) men , and
when the steamer leit was prcpaiing to
march for Puerto Cabello , where Crespo , the
Insurgent chli'f , is in command.
Generals Came nnd Ferruro are In pos
session of Mnncnibo and Geteral Purlido , n
telailvo of " the president , is ut Caracas with
7,000 men.
Mr. Bnrlot said it was reported that Crespo
nnd ( Suerroz , two of the chief revolutionists ,
had u quarrel at Puerto Cabello , which pro
duced u stnto of nnorchy nmontr the insur
gents. It was said that Cro po had chal
lenged Gucrrez 'o n battle. Mho cause of
the quarrel was not known whcnthosteamer
sailed. The government , according to Mr.
Barlo' , hr.s declared Puerto Cabello in a
state of blockade mid has ordered all vessels
to enter mcichundiso at LaGunvrn. How
the blockade will be enforced is not made
clear as tne government has no navy.
The friends of the revolutionists give an
entirely different picture of the btato of
things in Venezuela. Scnor Lopex , a well
known Venezuelan , Is in tbo city , nnd met
several friends who came on the Caracas.
Ho said the present government of his coun
try was tottering on its last loss and would
shortly collupso entirely. It was makiiig a
few last struggles botoro being ; completely
overcome. At Iho present time the Kovoru-
mont was centered in the capital , Caracas ,
nud out-sldo o ( Iho city the government' wns
not rccosnlzcd. . The people throughout the
different states are in favor of a new form ot
ovcrninout , aud tu a few weeks the present
guerrilla warfare will close wall the down
fall of the slow men struggling for tholr gov
ernment positions.
The mainstay of tte government , he said ,
was taken away in raptunuir the services "of
the government revenue. Puerto Cabrllo ,
Muriealbo und other places whore customs
receipts are taiten , are now the hands of the
insurgents , the only place lott being Lu
Guayra.
Crcspo , ho said , occupied Valencia nnd Lu
Guayra , and 7,000 men are slowly encircling
Caracas aud cutting elf oscapo.
Mr. Lopez received Information that a battle -
tlo occurred near Baiqiilscmcnto u short
time before tno Caracas bulled. The engage
ment was between the revolutionists under
General Colino with 2,200 man and a strong
force of government soldiers. The baltlo
lasted for several hours aud ended iu a vic
tory for Colino. Tno oilicers of the steamer
Caracas said there can be no doubt but that
the revolutionists are sloadllv gaining and
that the present government cannot last
much longer. The first oMicer said that the
insurgents were closing around La Guayra
and Caracas , Shortly before the steamer
sailed iiOO rebels had taken possession of a
smiill town near LT Gunyra and were not
disturbed by the government troops. They
said that Puerto Cabello , which was can
tured bv Crespo after a stubborn light ,
looked as If a destructive storm hud passed
over it. The lighting must have been terri
ble.
