In the interest of the Republican
party 1t is much to be regretted that
Mr.. Cleyeland, after the manner Of
his colleague Hendricks, ,loes not
make stump speeches in the present
campaign. We are convinced that
Mr.. Hendricks, by means ofspeeches,
does more injury to the Democratic
cause than any Republican speaker
would he able to do. And were
Cleveland to deliver speeches, the
Republican majority in November
would probably be greater than
might be counted. CAciNsaGti VOIks.
