Democrat*—The Contract Between Maine and Cleve land. In the course of a recent address to the Democrats of Brooklyn, N. Y., Senator Bayard made these telling points: A FALSB IBSUS. The condition ot our country presents for our consMeraton economic and political problems which demand a wise and reasona ble solution at our han Is. Some or them are new, and appeal to forces not hitherto known In our National politics. I refer to the fact that we now witness direct appeals by candi dates for the Presidency, and the parties that support them, to the prejudices and supposed interests ot classes of our countrymen whose interests are aliened to be distinct and at variance with those of other classes. To state the question simply, it is the attempt to create and force an issue between the laborins classes, so-called, and the owners of capital who employ them. Thia Is in my jungmont a false, un-Ameri can and wholly unadmissable Issue to be raised. This country undoubtedly was in tended to be governed in the interests, not of any class, but of all classes of our population. It was intended that none should have privi leges denied to others, which simply meant that none were to have separate privileges, and it will be vain to search through any public paper, in which the welfare of the whole people, and nothing less than the whole people, was declared to be the object of the American Government. It is clear to me that if this line of argument is to bo followed, and issues are to be created and fostered between the capital and labor of the country, or between different classes and employments of our citizens, that in such a struggle victory must ultimately be declared after long and disa-trous conflict, in favor of one or the other; that there is to be at the end of such a struggle a victor and a van quished party. There is nothing In suoh a spectacle that I think justltlable to the i lea of the American Constitution, and the man who contemplate! It may be Justly regarded as the foe to lioerty and the American form of Gov ernment. A MASTBS OF FBXTSMSIOH. Now, Mr. Blaine in bls famoui letter ha* laid down his pretensions, and Mr. Blaine, you know, is a master of pretension. He has taken care to claim everything—a 1 the bless ings of a tree Government, all the ad van tages of human invention and industry, the very bounty of the soil, the unlimited terri tory. the steamboat and railway, the tele phone, the very sun that warms, the breeze that co ils, the ruins that fructify, and even the natural increase of population. not to speak of the a-sl*ted immigration of labor -all that the toil of men and women has produced In the United States has been seized by this can didate for public honor and re<pect, and uuriif n P b]r b' o u a high pmt^five THU UXJUBT TABIFF FYSTCM. On the contrary, I make bold, tn direct op position to the statements and claims ot Mr. Blaino. to aver, and call the record of history as my witness, that a sense of injustice cre ated by an unjust system of laying tariff taxes has produced more local jealousy, more socUnnal feeling, more estrangements be tween our countrymen than any other single cause; that it has caused labor to organize In discontent for lack of steady employment and compensatory wagos, Ms rilled the land with violence and threats of violence, has strained the rule ot law, and promises to bring in the military arm of force as a customary resort to obta'n order. . . . This Ills which has emboldened and induced the dem ungue to appear in our midst. But for the acceptance of such doctrines as Mr. Blaine advocates and bls party approves. In respect to the use of the taxing power, but for the tone ot public thought and feeling gradually generated by such a mercenary spirit and abuse ot a great public trust. I do not believe such a spectacle could be witnessed in the United State* a* Is now. Ihat a candidate who has fattened upon every abuse that our laws contain, and yet bas strangely gone unwhlpned of public justice, should now be running up and down the land offering himself a* the special friend of the laboring man. whose scant earnings have gone largely to swell his vast fortune— and the foe of monopolies which have only adde lto his wealth—in cynical disregard of all that right-minded men value and respect; affecting specially to represent tbe Interests of labor, and yet seeking to array classes of society against each other, hoping thereby out of the general ruin to feed tat hl* grudge* haalnst decency and good order at tbe coitof the public peace and welfare. It is this system of taxation which, while producing a revenue of more than *200.000,- 000, Incidentally entails an enhanced cost of living upon the American laborer and upon the American consumer to the extent, at least, ot nve times that amount. In addition to this It has gradually sealed up the products of manufacturer* within their home market, rendering It Impossible for them profitably to increase their oroduct, or oven, as it would seem, to maintain Us present volume, much leas to expand their sa'os into foreign’fiiirf. kot*. when overproduction ha* glutted-tbe home market. THU ROUTHEBB qUBSTTOg, Think for one moment ot tbe class and eharactcr ot mon who have been authorized to represent tbe government ot the Union to tbe Southern people. Did they represent Its benignity. Its honesty or It* justice! On the contrary, tbe rising generation ot the Southern State*. it they measured their Gov ernment by its agent*, would be obliged to consider Its functions were to extort unnec essary taxes, to barrass the taxpaver, to wound the feeling* of tbe people, to bring dis grace upon republican institutions. After fifteen years of public service as a mcinocr of the Senate—tbe confirming body of. all executive appointments—l profess that I have known but a few cases, some rare ex ceptions, whore the men appointed to public office under th* Federal Government in the Southern States would have possib'y boon chosen for the same office In a Northern State. When I have protested against this, the answer Is: “What can we do? Such mon —bad as they are -are tne best, we can get in tne Southern Slate*, in tbe ranks ot the Bo publlean party." Look also at the kind of mon with whom political alliances are promptly made by the Republican party in the Look at the Cash family in South Carolina red-handed murderers and desperadoes, the class who have been painted as».typical Southern men—ruffians In broadcloth—yet young Cash died the olhoe day defying the legal process ot tbe State and its oliloeri. with a United States Deputy Marshal’s commission in his pocket. Look at Chalmers In Mississippi, gazetted for years by the Republican press a* the mur derer of tolored troops at Fort Pillow. Yet he to taken to the bosom of the Republican party and paid tec* a* an attorney to prosecute his goHUoal opponent* in the court* of the United Look at Virginia. O shade of Washington! Osacred tomb at Mount Vernon! Witness there the sacrifice of State honor—the repu diation of State obligations, tbe degradation ot every function of State government, the overthrow of every institution of good gov ernment, to place a corrupt jobber andoa joler of negro vote* in the Senate of the United States, and In control of the entire patronage of tbe Government ot that Old Dominion, “the Mother ot State* and States men.” A FOUCT OF lIUUSTICB. .

And now, in conclusion, ono word as to the candidate* I have referred to Mr. Bjatae en tirely as a public man, and the public record of his action whilst in office is all that I shall criticise. He has been pictured by a very large body of his fellow-citizens, who. as In dependents. declare their unwillingness to vote for him and wbo give their reasons pub licly and in full. They are impressive wit nesses because for tbe last twenty-five year* they have been bl* party associate*, and have therefore a longer and more intimate knowl edge than hi* life-long opponents—the Dem ocrats—cm have. They give the reason why they recoil from placing him at tbe bead of the affairs of the Nation. They deplore his election as a National calamity ana foretell a downward plunge of the National character and tbe National interests when his influ ence shall be allowed to control them. I, as a Democrat, believe and feel what they say is true, and tor other and additional rea sons, which I have given you, I believe hi* election would be a public calamity. I hare nere tbe document report, No. IM, of the House of Representatives, Forty-fourth Con gress and first session. It contains the depo sitions under oath of James MulUgan.a citizen of Boston, made in the presence of Mr. Blaine. This witness Is not only to this day wholly un impeacbed, but bls veracity and Integrity have been sustained unquestionably. Having fully read these depositions I am unable to see bow any man can doubt that Mr. Blaine's conduct to this man, obtaining from him certain letters by false pretenses, kneeling down to him in unmanly terror, and falsifying tbe truth in regard to the transac tion, render bim wholly unworthy of tbe vote of any honest citizen for the great position of President of the United States. If any man doubts let him read the depositions of Mr. Mulligan and Mr. Blaine himself in tbe docu ment referred to and I believe his doubts will end. TH* DBMOCBATIC CABDIDATB. And now I oome to the character of tbe Democratic candidate. If any man ha* Im puted to Llm a corrupt use or intent to use public power, I never heard it, nor, I think, have you. He is not. as I have beard, a brill iant man, nor a “magnSUo” one, tat he la a man of sound judgment, of vigorous intel lect, and habits of laborious performance ot duty. He has the industry and capacity to form independent opinions, and the con science and the oouraye to maintain those opinions. This has brought him in sharp and positive conflict with vigorous and able men, and has displeaaed them, deeply offended them, but among them all I have never beard anjmpw, Utiogaccompanied by the*llghte*t evidence^ u^W his go ii faith, or Ms personal truth, honor or integrity. There is a kind ot evidence known as “un conscious proofs.” It consists of the un guarded disclosures of a man's motives and Impulses, made without reflection and unac companied by any Intent; sudden rays of light in falling Upon the more secret recesses of bls heart, and giving a better knowledge ot bl* nature than any premedldated act or word. 1 have a letter of Grover Cleveland, written in tbe unthinking confidence Ot fam ily affection to bi* brother. on the day of hi* election as Governor ot tbe State of New York, it was an echo from bls heart and a true reflex ot bls feelings at a time when high honor and great responsibilities han oome upon him. That letter had the true ring of honest man hood. with but one aspiration, and that to da bis duty. That mingled with that aspiration came the memory ot bi* dead mother, mid that her gentle influence seemed then to re vive and strengthen and purify hM thought* will not le* an tbe sympath ea ot the Ameri can people with the *on who mourned her alp ■eneo in the day of hi* renown and promotion among men. But this the leading influence in the char acter of Grover Cleveland a* I discern it; not love ot money, not to achieve *uooea* nor arouse noisy admiration, but chiefly te per form his duty In Ihat station of lite to which ft may please God to call him. Ole has done this alite In offices compara tively humble as well as in tbose ot great dis tinction and power, for be has governed the Empire State and A.Mn.OOO people honorably, honestly snd well for the past two years. As a son-and brother he has dqq^ Ms duty. As a citizen ne has done his duty. As a Sheriff be bas done bls dour. As a Mayor of Buffalo ho bas Oa*e his duty. As Governor of tbe State ot New York hr ha* done hi* duty. : And. God willing, as Prosldent-of the United States be will do his duty. A Playing Witt Edge Tml*. Tbe man who has given izlaine the most trouble in this campaign is that quiet and unobtrusive but clear-headed and honorable gentleman, James Mulli gan. A little over eight yean ago he went to Washington, summoned as| a witness by an investigating committee, , carrying with him a little green bag which contained letters from Jame* G. Blaine to Warren Fisher, Jr., and which over Blaine’s own signature afforded full and complete evidence that the writer was a corrupt man using the a«o --ond office in point of inSuence in the United States for purposes of private ga n. These letter* came into Mr. Mad< Ngan's hands in a perfectly proper and honorable way. Hi* testimony aS to the way in which Blaine «>t them' into his own bands and kept them there is a ' chapter of shame with which our conn try is thoroughly familiar. It has made absurd all attempts of the Blidite apol ogists to whitewash the roeord of their candidate. Aa long as that teetimooy is not impeached Blaine must ateaM before the country blotched MM stained with th* evidence of proved cor ruption.
