Fremont was the candidate of the various elements which, combined, constituted the republican party. ‘That party was defeated the first bet It succeeded in the next. contest. Butler 1s going to run now as the candidate of the various tions Which, combined, will make “the Peope's Party.” He wiil be defeated, but that new party will come in between the two’ old par- ‘es and carry off the prize in the presidential con- ‘Vest in 1888.""

THE CELEBRATED TROTTER MAUD &. SOLD TO ROBERT BONNER. Mr, Vanderbilt has sold Maud S. to Mr. Robert Bonner, the consideration belng $10,000. Mr. Van- Gerbilt sald that he was not dissatisfied, as re- Ported, that the mare had been used for jockeying Purposes in races, but that he had disposed of her for the reason that he hadso little time to driveher himself, Mr. Vanderbilt further said that he had received an offer froin parties, whose\names he Would not mention, who wisned to purchase Maud §. for a considerably larger sum than he had taken forthe mare, but he didnot wish to sell her to thein, as se might be used ina manner which be could’ not sanction In any way.

Mr. Robert Bonner, in auswer to the question of | a New York 7ridune reporter as to how the pur- chase came to be made, sald: “Well, last Friday William Turnbull, who wasa great friend of the Old commodore and ts of hts son, William, came to My oltice and suld that he had bes) = he Uy st. | Vanderbilt from Saratoga to see whether L would not purchase Maud 8.

I told | Mr. Turnbull that If we could agree upon the price | I would take her. I sent my brother David to Sura- | toga on Saturday under instructions.

I tele- | giaphed immediately w Mr, Vanderbitz ‘I will | take her at price named, and will send check In the morning.’ cavhat do you intend to do with her, Mr. Bon- ner? “I shall keep her here at my stable for a short time and use her for a road horse. After have Studied her disposition sufficiently, L will send her to Hartford or perhaps Providence, and put__her in training, and then Twill give the publie a tree ex- hibition of what T belleve will be the fastest mile ever made by a troting horse.

Bair never hag charge of Mr. Vanderbilt's horses, and never trained them. ‘Whenever Maud S, was to be sent a fast mule he Was sent for, and tt can be said of him ‘that he can probably make her goa mile faster than any other man. He has driven her tn all her great efforts and she has got used to his touch and volce, and If she knows he ts not behind her she 1s nerv= ous and fretful, | Mr. Bair will probably drive her lor me, as I desire, when Ido Speed her, to have everything as favorable as possibie. A colored man named Grant has charge of her, ahd he ts never out Of her sight. He eats, dyinks and sleeps with her, and when he calls herto him he uses the loving term ‘My daughter.”” WILL NEVER ENTER HER FOR A RACE. “Will you ever enter her in a race with any other horse2” “No, Inever will. It has been my bellef ever | since Mayor Rice, of Boston, in 1655, urged me to buy the finest ‘team tn that City that a gentleman may own fast aniinals without using them for gambling purposes. A man may own fine pictures and not charge admission to see them. Why not the game with horses? No. Maud S. will never trot for money, and therefore she will never break the Yecord again, although she may make faster ‘Ume than the record, because under the rules of the National Trotting Association a horse can only obtain a record when trotting for money.

LABOR INTERESTS, INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, THE CIVIL SERVICE, ETC—NO MENTION OF THR TARIFF QUESTION. The following ts the full text of Gov. Cleveland's letter accepting the democratic nomination for the presidency: GENTLEMEN: I have recetved your communica tion dated July 28, 188, informing me of my Nomination to the office of President of the United States by the national democratic convention lately assembled at Chicago. Taccept the nomination with a grateful appre- ciation of the supreme honor conferred and a solemn sense of the responsibility which, in its ac- acceptance, T assume. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the convention and coniially approve the samy So plain a statement of democratic faith and the Principles upon Which Wat party appeals to the Suffrages of the people ticeds no Supplement or e: planation. Itshould be remembered that the office of Prest- dent ts essentially executive in its nature. The e the legislative branch of the gu ernment the chief executive ts bound faithfully to enjorce. And when the wisdom of the poil Party which selects one of {ts members asa nom her for that Mice nas outiined Its policy and de- elared its principles, it seems to me that nothing in the cl er Of the office or the necessities of the case requires more from the car dilate accepting Such nondnation than the suggestion of certain Well-kuown traths, so absolutely vital to the safety and Welfare of the nation that they cannot be too olten recalled or too seriously enforced. GOVERNMENT BY THE PROPLE. We proudiy call oursa government by the people. It1s not such when a class 1s tolerated whicn atro- gates to ttself the management of public affairs, seeking to control the people instead of represent- ing them. Partles are the necessary outgrowth of our institutions; but_a government ts not by the people When one party fastens Its control upon tie country aud perpetuates power by cajoling and betraying the people instead of serviny them. A goverument ts not by the peopie when a result Which should represent the Intelligent will of free and thinking men 1s, or can be, determined by the shameless corruption of thelr suiTrages. When an election to office sal! be the selection by the voters of one of their number, to assume for a Ume a public trust, instead of his dedieation to the profession of poiliies; when tue holders of the Ballot, quickened by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth “betrayed and pl broken, and when the suffrage shill be altogether free and uncorrupted, Ue 1uu realizacion of a government by the people will be at band. "And of the weans to Uuls end one would, in my Judgment, be more effective in an ainendment to the Consittution disqualit Ing the President from re-election. When we con- der_the patronage of this great office, the allure- ments of power, the temptation to Tetain public Places once gutned, aud, more than all, the avall- DIty a party finds th an incumbent whom a horde of office-holders, with a zeal Lorn of benefits Tecelyed and fostered by the hope of favors yet t come, stand ready to wid wita tony and tral political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President foF re-election a most sertous danger To that caltn, deliberate and Intelligent political action which’ must characterize a government by Ube people. LABOR AND CAPITAL. A true American sentiment recognizes the dignity: of labor, and Lhe fact that honor Hes in honest, con- Uented labor is an element of national prosperity. AbILy to work constitutes the capital and the Wage of labor the income of a Vast number of our Population, and this interest should be jealously protected. Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable tt duizence; but as intelligent and manly citizens ‘ney Seek the same consideration which those de maid who have other Interests at stake. ‘They should receive their full share of the care and at- tenon of those who make and execute the laws, to the end Uat the wants and needs of the employers nd the employed shall alike be subserved, and th prospert both, be advanced. As related to this subject, while we should not discourage the Immigration Of those who come to | ackuowledge allegtatce to our government and add to our citizen population, yet, as_a means Of pro- tection Lo our: workingwen, a different rule should prevail concerning those who, if they come or are -brought to cur land, do not intend to become American cluzens, but will injuriously compete With those justly entitled to our fleld of Isbor. In a letter accepting the nomination to the office of governor, nearly two years ago, I made the fol- Jowing statement, to whieh I have steadily ad- eres: ‘The laboring classes constitute the main part of our population." ‘They shouid be protected tu thelr efforts peaceably to assert thelr rights When en- dangered by aggregated capital, and ail statutes an | thls subject should recognize the care of the state for honest toll and be framed with a view of im- proving the condition of the workingman. ‘A proper regard for the welfare of the working | man belng inseparably connected with the Integ- rity of our institutions, none of our citizens are more Interested than they in guarding against any corrupting iniluences which seek to pervert the beneficent purposes of our government, and none shouid be more Watchful of the arctul’ machina- Uons of those who allure them to self-inflicted In- | jury. UNWISE AND VEXATIOUS Laws. In a free country the curtailment of the absolute rights of the individual should only be such as 1s, essential to the peace und good order of the com- munity. ‘The limit between the proper subjects of overninental control and those which can be more Stumgiy lett to the moral Sense "and. selt-mnposed Testrulit of the citizen should be carefully kept In view. ‘Thuslaws unnecessarily tnterferine with the habits and customs ot any of our peopie, which are not offensive to the mora! sentiments of the civil zed World, and which are consistent with good clUzenship'and the public welfare, are unwise and vexatious, INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. ‘The commerce of a nation to a great extent de- termines its supremacy. Cheap and easy trans- portation should thereby be liberally fostered. Within the Mumits of the Constitution the general government should so improve and protect Its na Vural waterways as will enable the producers of the con ach a profitable market. ‘THR CIVIL SERVICE. ‘The people pay the wages of the public employes, and they are entitled to the fair and honest work which the money thus paid should command. ALis the duty of those entrusted with the manage- ment of their affairs to see that such public service 43 forthcoming. ‘The selection and retention of subordinates in government. employment should depend upon tuelf ascertained fitness and the value of their Work, and they should be neither expected nor aliowed to do questionable party service.
