What Has Cleveland Reformed?

Some of the partisans of Mr.. Cleveland
make practice of speaking of him as
the reform Governor, as if their admin :
lstratioh sprapg from bis services 10
some reform or other. real or imaginary.
We should be glad to learn from these
gentlemen what reform Mr.. Cleveland
has undertaken and what reform he has
accomplished.
So far as we can understand from a
constant observation of his official career,
he has never reformed anything, not
even himself.
\ few years ago there was Governor
of New York who was reformer in
deed He laid his hand upon time
honored abuses and destroyed them.
The Tweed Ring in New York and the
Canal Ring all over The state felt the
force of his blows. The administration
of the state government was revolution
izrd by him, and the effects of the re-
forms he carried through are still visible
TO all men. The state of New York has
been different commonwealth ever
since he began his work. That was re-
form in earnest; and it lasts.
Perhaps Cleveland really is reformer,
and, if 50, the work has been done in
private and in silence. So far as the un-

has consisted in putting railroad man
to rule the canals, and in bargaining for
delegates to support him in conventions.
We fear that Cleveland is a sham.-N.

IN fact the all important, duty of getting
out the vote on election day.
There is no question, if this is done.
and done thoroughly, Ohio will be carried
by the Republicans in October 10y from
fifteen thousand TO twenty thousand
majority. That was the way victory
was won in Maine, aud a majority scored
