A DEMOCRAT--BUT NOT OF THE
PROGRESSIVE STAMP!l
The Cleveland (Ohio) Herald notices the
speech of Hon. LEVI BEARDSLEY, who
has Just left the Van Buren, ranks and come out
for Clay, as follows:
Mr. B. said he was an old Democrat. but not
OF the modern progressive order. He was for
Henry Clay for the Presidency in 1898, and he
was for him now. He had been the supporter
of the administration of General Jackson, and
Mr. Van Buren, 20 long as he travelled the De-
mocTatic road, but when he abandoned that
Mr. B. abandoned him. MI Van Buren, was
once strong advocate for protective tariff
and for a sound, stable bank currency, but had
changed his ground, while Mr. b. remained
where he was. Mr. b. was willing to progress
with the Democracy when the advance was 10
help on the great interests of the country, but
not when il was to destroy them. He was
now where the democracy once were, and
ought now, as the prolessed friends of the peo-
pie to be. Ohio, through her Legislature,
once passed resolutions unanimously in favor
Of sound Tariff. Her real interest led her 10
that policy and so did the interests of every
state IN the Union, not even excepting those
that raised the most cotton. The Legislature
OF New York passed similar ones. The salu-
tary operation of Tariff, ON all classes of our
citizens, was strongly shown.
Mr. Is. said that in the Democratic Conyen-
ton, every man who had been named as can
ddale for the Presidency had been thrust aside
10 make room Tor man that had never been
spoken OF in connection with the Office. Mr.
Van Buren,, Mr. Cass, Mr. Buchanan, and Col
johnson, aud their friends, had been shameful
y abused by their delegates at Baltimore
he politicians by trade, not the people, had
made the nomination. A single question, that
oil the annexation Of Texas, had been made
paramount to all others, and had governed the
convention. Old issues were superseded bv n
single new one, but they did not quite FORGET
The Tariff, for they had voted unanimousIv |
against It. For himself, he could not lend his
ard to help on Polk, Tex as, and Free Trade - :
ne was Tor Clay and the Tariff, and the Union. /
