BAYARD ON THE STUMP.
An Excellent Speech by the Dela
ware Senator.
Senator Bnjard to the Brooklyn (N. T.)
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,

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

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.

Think for one moment ot tbe class and

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

consider Its functions were to extort unnec

the answer Is: “What can we do? Such mon

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
