A PLEDGE OF REFORM.
Now the fight will commence in
earnest. Cleveland's name Is pledge
of reform and retrenchment, of cOrrec-
ton of abuses, of furnishing thieves
and swindlers. The Republicans must
accept the challenge. That mans
hands are as stainless as the Republic
can chiefs are soiled with dishonest
gains. That man has been neither
soldier nor is he u statesman OF world
wide fame, but that man Cleveland Is
an honest man, man of action, man
Of pure heart, man of clean
hands, man of irreproachable
honor, a man of courage, a
man who does his duty before God
and men without fear or favor to any
one a man who keeps his oath, !;
man who accepts no brides, man who
loves his duty and his honor better
than his life. Such is the man whom
the Democracy have elected their
chief! What profit, If in addition he
had been soldier? What boots it, if
he were an Inscriptions politician
like Blaine? To men like Grover
Cleveland honor comes as the reward
OF the faithful performance OF
duty. Like Tilden he is u great
lawyer, like Tilden he is a fearless re-
former, like Tilden his right hand
would rather forget its cunning than
that he would demean himself to do an
unrighteons act. Such man makes a
safe leader. Such man will be up-
held by the great minds of the coun-
try, such man If he be
elected will reveal executive
ability of the highest order. The man
whom New York made her governor
by 1877 900 majority will make better
president of the United States than
any of the dreary list of Republican
presdents.- Houston Post.
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE BETTER
CLASS.
Cleveland, while he does not rank
with Thurman, Bayard and others of
the illustrious gentlemen who com.
peted with him at Chicago, in mere
brain power, Is yet the peer of any of
them in all the qualities which 20 to
III a man for the exalted place he will
fill If he Is elected. He is a fit repre.
sentative of the better class of faithful.
honest men who have for so long stood
and breasted the tide of corruption i'm
New York. The business men of the
country will feel that he Is man To
be trusted. That the financial and
commercial interests of the nation will
be safe in his hands. He is an ardent
tarifl-reform Democrat, devoted to AN
amending and implaclbl hostility to
the unfair, dishonest and ruinous
policy Of class favoritism which has
been the one leading characteristic off
the Republican policy ever since the
war, which has built up all the enor-
nous private fortunes which threat
ened the peace and good order of the
country, and which stand ever as
Jeer and a jlbe at tue poverty and
wretchedness which enwraps and en-.
closes the helpless poor of the land
who grow poorer while the rich grow
richer.-l Austin Statesman.
