WEEKLY GAZETTE. SATURDAY...AUG. 23, 1864 SUBSCRIPTION, per year, $2. THE ONE GREAT ISSUE In attempting to relegate the tariff issue into obscurity the Democratic campaign managers are wine as serpents, if not innocent as doves. It is a question upon which the party is hopelessly divided, and unfortunately for it, the views of the party leaders on that issue are at variance with the rank and file. Every prominent Democratic Congressman and political leader, with the single exception of Sam Randall, is a free-trader, and not all the jugglery of their platform can get over that damning fact. The tariff plank of their platform can be construed any way you please. It is as acceptable to Morrison, Watterson and Carlisle as to Randall, for it means neither one thing nor the other. It was prepared by the three first named, who are honorable gentlemen and uncompromising believers in free trade, and who would, therefore, not stoop to the dishonesty of writing against their convictions. It was endorsed by Randall and other prominent men, who are equally honorable gentlemen and uncompromising believers in a protective tariff, and who would never consent to the adoption of a plank in direct opposition to their views. In this dilemma the people and the press have been patiently waiting to know what Mr. Cleveland would say about it. It is not known what his views are upon this or any other subject of national importance, and the customary letter of acceptance it was supposed would be used as a vehicle to convey to the people his ideas upon the tariff. This is what he says about it: I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the Convention and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and the principles upon which the party appeals to the suffrages of prived of a home market and crushed down by discriminating rates of transportation, duds nis corn, wheat and wool lower than it has been within the present generation. Can the people, therefore, trust the machine Democracy with power upon a shifting, an evasive and deceptive platform? GIBBS' GAB To create a demand for native wines in the Eastern States has been a long continued and persistent labor on the part of the wine growers of California. There existed many obstacles to overcome, not the least among them was a strange but strong natural prejudice against home production, which was intensified by the efforts of foreign dealers and importers of cheap and adulterated wines. A snobbish taste would declare a California wine with a foreign label excellent, and the same wine with a California label execrable; thus to please the popular demand, the great bulk of California wine sold in the East was sold under foreign brands. It is true that quantities of grape juice unfit to be called wine have been thrust upon the Eastern market, greatly adding to an already unfavorable opinion of the native production. During the last three years there has been a gradual awakening to the superiority of California wines, as well as an improvement in their quality, which has resulted in a demand far in excess of the supply. Now and then some ignorance, temperance fanatic or interested dealer invents a story which, false in fact and inference, would from its very absurdity pass unnoticed in wine making countries, yet the gullibility of the public swallows the imposition to the detriment of the reputation of the only pure wines consumed in the United States. One of the latest and most ridiculous lies was uttered at a public meeting in the city of Brooklyn a few days since by ex-Governor Gibba, of Oregon, who said: "In some of the California wine making establishments the presses are trodden by Indians, who jump in with their dirty feet and stamp around, and this wine was being drunk in In this dilemma the people and the press have been patiently waiting to know what Mr. Cleveland would say about it. It is not known what his views are upon this or any other subject of national importance, and the customary letter of acceptance it was supposed would be used as a vehicle to convey to the people his ideas upon the tariff. This is what he says about it: I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the Convention and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and the principles upon which the party appeals to the suffrages of the people needs no supplement or explanation. Now, my Democratic friends, you know exactly what your candidate thinks about it. Under the head, "The Irrepressible Tariff Issue," a leading New York Democratic paper says: Nobody appreciates the difficulties better than he [Senator Gorman]. Take the tariff issue and the record of the last session of the House. How far it is proper to call the attention of Democrats to the tariff, and just where it ought to be done, is as delicate a matter to decide as the handling of the works of a repeating watch. The National Committee here has stacks and stacks of tariff speeches. But as good Democrats made protection tariff speeches as any that preached free trade. The committee here is controlled by protection Democrats, Mr. Gorman himself preached protection, in the Senate a year or more ago. Congressman Post of Susquehanna Depot, the Secretary of the committee, voted and spoke against the Morrison bill. In West Virginia they do not want free trade speeches. In Kentucky they do. In Ohio there is no telling what they want; and from Michigan all sorts of requests come. So the committee is in despair. Morrison, Frank Hurd, Carlisle and Henry Watterson insist on making the tariff plank the issue of the contest. Hurd and Morrison will speak on no other subject, and they call for documents to circulate through their districts. Mr. Watterson made his maiden speech of the canvass in Norfolk, the other day, and his long locks were tossed in the breeze, and the perspiration made his face glow almost, and he tried to avoid the only question in the canvass for which he cared a rap. Before the meeting began, he was urged and warned not to touch the tariff question in Virginia, because the people there were not with him. He succeeded in avoiding it, but at the cost of a mental strain which led him to remark that he should bereafter speak where he could utter freely his sentiments about the only issue of consequence in the canvass. Senator Gorman and the committee are aware that the shrewd Elkins is preparing to send into Democratic Districts where protection is believed in many of the speeches of leading Democrats in the House last winter in which free trade was preached. The alashing argument of Frank Hurd and the lively remarks of Col. Morrison will not be used as Democratic documents in West Virginia, Alabama, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Connecticut, but Mr. Elkins intends that the Democrats of these States shall not be deprived of reading them, for he will send them there himself under the frank of some Republican Congressman. Senator Gorman's desire, as well as that of two committees of which he is the head, is that Mr. Hurd, Col. Morrison, Mr. Waterson, and the others shall repress their zeal a little, and he will bend all his energies to secure that result. If he does, one of the complications of the canvass will be and interference, would from its very absurdity pass unnoticed in wine making countries, yet the gullibility of the public swallows the imposition to the detriment of the reputation of the only pure wines consumed in the United States. One of the latest and most ridiculous lies was uttered at a public meeting in the city of Brooklyn a few days since by ex-Governor Gibbs, of Oregon, who said: "In some of the California wine making establishments the presses are trodden by Indians, who jump in with their dirty feet and stamp around, and this wine was being drunk in the East." Such an absurd statement hardly requires a contradiction. Labor-saving machinery is too common and Indians too scarce in California to be profitably used for such purposes. In Anaheim wine making is the principal industry; there are many wineries. It would be a curious sight indeed to see Indians trodding grape presses; but the visitor can witness the process of grape crushing in dozens of Anaheim wineries by the most improved machinery, and will be struck by the prevalent cleanliness which, being one of the most important factors in producing good wine, is the one most observed. Eastern people who have arrived at the fact that California pure wines are preferable to the vile stuff imported from Europe and doctored in America, may rest secure in their preference and accept the statement of temperance orator ex-Gov. Gibbs as a mendacious falsehood. NO INSURANCE R. B. Thompson of Alameda lived in a dwelling house that cost him $55,000. His furniture was in keeping with the house, and altogether he had $160,000 invested. The house and all therein contained was burned on Monday, by reason of a defective flue. The surprising thing about this incident is that there was not a dollar of insurance on the house, for it seems strange that a man who could accumulate a fortune sufficient to justify him living in a palace should have so little every-day sense as to refuse to adopt the precaution of insurance. Mr. Thompson must have had a hobby, and the hobby must have been that insurance was all nonsense. He probably thinks differently now. BETTING Ar this stage of the Presidential campaign it would appear from the telegraphic reports that in betting circles in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and even in Buffalo—the home of Cleveland—Blaine is the favorite with odds of about 100 to 80. A Butler man authorizes The New York Herald to place $10,000 on Blaine, with no takers. A Democratic politician of Buffalo offers to back Blaine to the amount of $10,000. A bet of $100 to $400 that Cleveland would not carry one State outside the solid South was taken. If the sporting men are not off their base and interference, would from its very absurdity pass unnoticed in wine making countries, yet the gullibility of the public swallows the imposition to the detriment of the reputation of the only pure wines consumed in the United States.

Morrison, Mr. Watterson, and the others shall repress their zeal a little, and he will bend all his energies to secure that result. If he does, one of the complications of the canvass will be removed. But Mr. Morrison would prefer to see the Democratic party die rather than win committed to protection. Mr. Hurd frankly said at Chicago that unless a liberal and practically free trade plank was adopted by the Democratic Convention he would bolt the ticket and denounce it on the stump, while Mr. Watterson has said, over and over again, that the tariff issue was the only one of consequence in this contest. It will therefore, be one of the difficult duties of the National Committee, and one whose difficulty they well understand, to repress these gentlemen. Gen. Butler, who has also issued his letter of acceptance in the form of an address to the people, speaks of free trade iniquity in this way: "Notwithstanding the sweet phrases, the resolutions and expedients to catch voters by indirection, deception and illusions, it is not a declaration of those high principles which should form the basis for the united action of a great party of the people. The country has had no experience for nearly a quarter of a century of what the Democracy would do if they had the power, so that the people are obliged to require the most explicit pledges from them of their intended action before we can put the Government in their hands. But the farmer and the laboring man do know that the Democratic House of Representatives has just appropriated more money raised by taxation than any other House of Representatives has ever appropriated in time of peace." "We also know that the Democratic majority would have made a free trade tariff containing all the obvious features of the present war on tariff, so far as regards its monstrous inequalities, by a horizontal reduction of the tariff to break down very many rising and struggling industries and the destruction of the homes of our working men and the home markets of American producers. Who does not know that the very fear of the action of the Democracy in Congress has so paralyzed American enterprise and business that mills are everywhere closing, mines are shut up, furnaces are blown out, and every kind of employment is so curtailed that the mechanic and working-man are not earning enough to support life in comfort; or that the farmer, even, de- At this stage of the Presidential campaign it would appear from the telegraphic reports that in betting circles in Boston, New York, Philadelphia and even in Buffalo—the home of Cleveland—Blaine is the favorite with odds of about 100 to 80.

If the sporting men are not off their base Brother Blaine will distance all other entries in the race. WHAT PROTECTION MEANS Protection means American independence. — Wm. M. Evarts. To Anaheimers it means no conflict with the cheap labor of the wine-growing districts of Spain, France and Germany. Free trade means competition with foreign wine at ten cents per gallon. That is the whole of it in a nut shell. In its issue of March 14, 1883, Puck had a full-page cartoon entitled "The new member of Monopoly Lodge has taken his 'First Degree.'" In this cartoon Mr. Cleveland was represented with a cable tow around his neck and a fool's cap with the inscription, "5c. Veto," on his head. Now it is beslobering this same Mr. Cleveland with all the polychromatic praise at its command. "What fools these mortals be." The Sun, not the great luminary of New York, but a lesser light, that feebly twinkles in the extreme South-western corner of the United States at San Diego, announces to the world the following astounding revelation: "James G. Blaine was ushered into the state of matrimony by her persuasive power of two pistols." Stephen G. Cleveland wasn't. When a responsible newspaper published a scandal about Blaine, he did not go off into the mountains to ruminate, as either man did: He at once brought suit for criminal libel, and instructed his attorneys to push the case to trial immediately. The Indianapolis Sentinel is the victim. The trial is set for October.

An Insight Document, in Which No Important Issue is Discussed. ALBANY, N. Y., August 19.—Gov. Cleveland's letter formally accepting the Democrates nomination for President of the United States is as follows: GENTLEMEN: I have received your communication dated July 28, 1884, informing me of my nomination to the office of President of the United States, by the National Democratic Convention, lately assembled at Chicago. I accept the nomination with grateful appreciation of the supreme honor conferred and a solemn sense of the responsibility which, in its acceptance, I assume. I have carefully considered the platform adopted by the convention and cordially approve the same. So plain a statement of Democratic faith and the principles upon which that party appeals to the suffrages of the people needs no supplement or explanation. It should be remembered that the office of President is essentially executive in its nature. The laws enacted by the legislative branch of the Government the Chief Executive is bound faithfully to enforce. When the wisdom of the political party which selects one of its members as a nominee for that office has outlined its policy and declared its principles, it seems to me that nothing in the character of the office or the necessities of the case requires more from the candidate accepting such nomination than the suggestion of certain well-known truths so absolutely vital to the safety and welfare of the nation that they cannot be too often recalled or too seriously enforced. We proudly call ours a Government by the people. It is not such when a class is tolerated which arrogates to itself the management of public affairs, seeking to control the people instead of representing them. Parties are the necessary outgrowth of our institutions, but a government cannot be by the people when one party fastens its control upon the country and perpetuates its power by cajoling and betraying the people instead of serving them. A Government is not by the people when a result which should represent the intelligent will of free-thinking men is or can be determined by the shamelessness of their suffrages. When an election to office shall be the selection by the voters of one of their number, to assume for a time a public trust, instead of his dedication to the profession of politics; when the holders of ballots, quickened by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and people as they arise, and the vigilant protection of all their various interests. If I should be called to the Chief Magistracy of the nation by the suffrages of my fellow-citizens, I will assume the duties of that high office with a solemn determination to dedicate every effort to the country's good, and with an humble reliance upon the favor and support of the Supreme Being who, I believe, will always bless honest human endeavor in the conscientious discharge of public duty. GROVER CLEVELAND. To Col. William Vilas, Chairman, and D. P. Bester and others, members of the notification Committee of the Democratic National Convention. News of the Week Greely emphatically denies that he knew anything of cannibalism among his party. In Dover, New Hampshire, Saturday, a torrid wave caused the suspension of outdoor work. The mercury was 100° at 11 o'clock. Several people were prostrated. The cranberry crop in South Jersey is almost a total failure. Three-fourths of the yield was frozen in blossom. The season has been unprofitable to all fruit and berry growers. Six thousand people left Philadelphia Sunday to attend a spiritualist camp meeting at Neshimany Falls. Fully one thousand persons drove into camp from the surrounding country. On Sunday, during high mass at Missoula, Bishop Irondel formally excommunicated theater manager John Maguire from the Roman Catholic Church for the sin of bringing into Montana, for a series of lectures, the great infidel, Robert G. Ingersoll. A Plymouth, N.H., dispatch of the 18th says: The driest season since 1870 is prevailing here. Wells are giving out, streams are low, many of the smaller ones are entirely dry. No rain has fallen since May. The crops are suffering severely, and the grasshoppers are destroying what does grow. The celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Republican party, which it is claimed occurred in Strong, Me., was held at that place on Tuesday. The first county convention to assume the title of Republican was held there on Aug 7th, 1854. A feature of the occasion was the attendance of and a speech by Jas. G. Blaine. A great many people, mostly women, cross themselves as they pass over the star which marks the spot stained by the blood of Garfield, in Washington. A few days ago a man walked to the spot where the President... The people instead of representing them. Parties are the necessary outgrowth of our institutions, but a government cannot be by the people when one party fastens its control upon the country and perpetuates its power by cajoling and betraying the people instead of serving them. A Government is not by the people when a result which should represent the intelligent will of free-thinking men is or can be determined by the shamelessness of their suffrages. When an election to office shall be the selection by the voters of one of their number, to assume for a time a public trust, instead of his dedication to the profession of politics; when the holders of ballots, quickened by a sense of duty, shall avenge truth betrayed and pledges broken, and when the suffragas shall be altogether free and uncorrupted, the full realization of a Government by the people will be at hand. And of the means to this end, not one would, in my judgment, be more effective than an amendment to the Constitution disqualifying the President from re-election. When we consider the patronage of the great office, the allurements of power, the temptation to retain public place once gained and more than all, the availability a party finds in an incumbent whom a hordle of office-holders, with a zeal born of benefits received and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand ready to aid with money and trained political service, we recognize in the eligibility of the President for re-election a most serious danger of that calm, deliberate and intelligent political action which must characterize a government by the people. A true American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor, and the fact that honor lies in honest toil makes contented labor—an element of national prosperity. Ability to work constitutes the capital and the wages of labor the income of a vast number of our population, and this interest should be jealously protected. Our workingmen are not asking unreasonable terms, but, as intelligent citizens, they seek the same consideration which those demand who have other interests at stake. They should receive the full share of the care and attention of those who make and execute the laws, to the end that the wants and the needs of the employers and employees should alike be subserved and the prosperity of the country, the common heritage of both, be advanced. As related to this subject, while we should not discourage the immigration of those who come to acknowledge allegiance to our Government and add to our country's population, yet, as a means of protection to our workingmen, a different rule should prevail concerning those who, if they come or are brought to our land, do not intend to become Americans, but will injuriously compete with those justly entitled to our labor. In a letter accepting the nomination to the office of Governor, nearly two years ago, I made the following statement, to which I have steadily adhered: "The laboring classes constitute the main part of our population. They should be protected in their efforts peacefully to assert their rights when endangered by capital, and all statutes on this subject should recognize the care of the State for honest toil, and be framed with a view of improving the condition of the workingmen, a proper care for the workingmen being inseparably connected with the integrity of our institutions. None of our citizens are more interested than they in guarding against any corrupting influences which seek to pervert the beneficent purposes of our Government, and none should be more watchful of the fearful machinations of those that allege them to self-inflict injury. In a free country, the custailment of the absolute rights of the individual should only be such as is essential to the peace and good ordeal. The celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Republican party, which it is claimed occurred in Strong. Me., was held at that place on Tuesday. The first county convention to assume the title of Republican was held there on Aug 7th, 1854. A feature of the occasion was the attendance of and a speech by Jas. G. Blaine. A great many people, mostly women, cross themselves as they pass over the star which marks the spot stained by the blood of Garfield, in Washington. A few days ago a man walked to the spot where the President fell, took of his hat, crossed himself, knelt and prayed, while he kept his eyes fixed upon the marble memorial tablet on the wall. A local paper of Dakota is responsible for the following: A Dakota farmer in 1851 planted a single grain of wheat and from it grew twenty-two stalks, each bearing a full head of wheat, yielding in all 860 grains of wheat; 760 of these were planted next year, producing one-fifth of a bushel of splendid wheat. This was planted last spring, yielding seventeen bushels, making 1,020 pounds of wheat from one grain, in three years. It was discovered about two weeks ago that the date of birth of the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Blaine which died in 1854 had been carefully chiseled from its monument. The object is not known, but it has been discovered that a certain person, who is suspected of this vandalism, had copies of the alleged birth record sent to various parts of the country to papers antagonistic to Blaine. Detectives are on the track. A prize of $10 is offered by the Rural New Yorker for the largest potato without prongs, delivered at the office of that journal, before Novemberfirst. The name of the sender and the variety and the manner of cultivation should be stated by postal card. If potato growers in California choose to compete for the proffered prize it will insure a return flow of gold, to the amount of $10 to the Golden State. A cloud so dense as to prevent persons from reading bold type at midday passed over a great part of Lancashire, England, recently. The unusual darkness lasted about an hour. From the accounts given by intelligent observers of the occurrence, the cloud must have consisted of finely divided carbon dust. Rain which fell copiously in some places was as black as ink. At other localites where hail or snow fell, it was noticed that each was likewise black. Not long ago such a phenomenon would have been deemed ominous. A Japan paper says: A strange reptile was caught in the bay on July 24th. It measures about three feet in length, is rather broad across the head and shoulders and gradually tapers down to a fine tail. It has four legs, with five long sharp claws on each. Its head is slightly tapered to the tip of the mouth, out of which darts a long narrow tongue. In color it is dark, with bright yellow spots, and the back and tail are covered with hard scales. It was apparently out of its element in the sea, as it is still alive and promises to flourish on live frogs, for which it seems to have a natural weakness. The drought in Kentucky, Southern Ohio and Indiana has again become severe. Corn the Big Miami bottoms, usually the best in the State, will not be more than half a crop,and unless rain falls it soon will be only fit for fodder. On the upland injury to corn is still more severe. Kentucky tobacco also is suffering and the crop is reported already considerably damaged. Pastures are ousely scalding about face and breast Engineer James Fass, also burningthe fire badly. The cause is said to be due to a defective boiler. Total loss estimated at $5000. The State Board of Equalization has completed its labors in arriving at the valuations of railroads for assessment purposes. The Central Pacific is valued at $24,000,000 an increase of $6,000,000 over last year's assessment. The Southern Pacific was assessed at $17,000,000 an increase of $4,000,000. The two roads are valued $10,000,000 from last year. The California Southern was reduced $150,000. A small child of Mrs. H. Johnson of Powder river, Oregon, met with a probably fatal accident on Sunday. The child was playing in a corral where a wild horse with a rope on was running. One of the child's legs became entangled in the rope and the child was dragged into a mower with such force as to upset it. One of the child's legs was nearly severed fromthe body.

None of our citizens are more interested than they in guarding against any corrupting influences which seek to pervert the beneficent purposes of our Government, and none should be more watchful of the fearful machinations of those that allure them to self-inflicted injury. In a free country, the cugtailment of the absolute rights of the individual should only be such as is essential to the peace and good order of the community. The limit between the proper subjects of governmental control and those which can be more fittingly left to the moral sense and self-imposed restraint of the citizens should be carefully kept in view. Thus laws unnecessarily interfering with the habits and customs of any one of our people which are not offensive to the moral sentiment of the civilized world and which are consistent with good citizenship and the public welfare are unwise and vexatious." The commerce of a nation to a great extent determines its supremacy. Cheap and easy transportation should therefore be liberally fostered within the limits of the Constitution, and the general Government should so improve and protect its natural waterways as will enable the producers of the country to reach a profitable market. The people pay the wages of the public employees, and they are entitled to the fair and honest work which the money thus paid should command. It is the duty of those entrusted with the management of affairs to see that such public service is forthcoming. The selection and retention of subordinates in government employment should depend upon their ascertainned fitness and the value of their work, and should be neither expected nor allowed to do questionable party service. The interest of the people will be better protected, and the estimate of public labor and duty will be immensely improved, if public employment be open to all who demonstrate their fitness to enter it. Then the unseemly scramble for office under the Government with the consequent importance which embitterts official life will cease, and the public departments will not be filled with those who conceive it to be their first duty to aid the party to which they owe their place instead of rendering patient and honest returns to the people. I believe that the public temper is such that the voters of the land are prepared to support the party which gives the best promise of administering the Government in the honest, simple and plain manner which is consistent with its character and purpose. They have learned that mystery and concealment in the management of their affairs cover tricks and betrayal.

There has been no rain of any consequence for three weeks, and the amount that then fell was hardly sufficient to wet the earth after the long drought in July.

The disease comes on with cramps succeeded by bloody discharges and spasms. The deaths are one in four attacked. Thirty-two were sick yesterday and ten deaths have occurred. Three died last night, two children and one old lady. The disease has been increasing in virulence for two weeks. At Milton, five miles west, one death occurred which physicians ascribe to cholera. The neighborhood is not on the usual line of travel. How Dr McDonald was Defeated Col. George Babcock, Prohibition candidate for Congress and delegate from this State to the National Temperance Convention, returned from the East Saturday. He says Dr. McDonald's connection with vinegar bitters caused his defeat for the nomination for President. The delegates suspected that there was truth in the statement that the bitters contained alcohol, and with McDonald they would have been compelled to have made a defensive campaign. Col. Babcock says he does not approve of that part of the Prohibition platform which declares for unrestricted immigration, and believes the ticket will suffer in this State in consequence. The California delegation were unable, however, to prevail on the convention to take this plank from the platform. The Prohibitionists, he says, do not expect to elect their ticket this year; they are merely forming a party to sweep the country in 1888. Col Babcock says that there is no doubt among the best informed public men East that Blaine and Logan will be elected by a greater majority than Garfield and Arthur. For Sale.
