~M4N AND NOW.

When the Five-cent Fare Bill
IS vetoed by Cleveland in New
York the action of the Governor
was denounced by the journals Of
both parties. The Times and
Herald Of New York, who are now
shouting for Cleveland, we're con-
spicuous above all the rest in ex.
pressing their opir ions of Cleve-
lands motives.
Times, March 3, 1881
Nov that the Governor has
shown his scrupulous regard for
the rights Of the elevated railroad
corporations, let him devote some
attention to the rights of the peo-
pie. He says he is not aware that
the corporations have, by any de-
fault, forfeited any of their rights,
and that If they have the remedy
is at hand, under existing laws. As
it is part Of his duty to see the laws
executed-he can, without any
stretch ofauthority, readily add to
his apparently limited knowledge
Of the relations between the public
and cooperation which was created
to cheat them out Of their dues"
The Governor, having first con-
WINGED himself, as he easily uay, of
the existence Of a public ong,will
fail of his duty should he refuse to
concern himself with righting
it."
Times, March Z, 1881
There is no reason why this ire
peal Of the charter of the NJ. Ry.
Coz should not be done, but since
Gov. Cleveland has taken the side
Of the monopoly in its contest with
the people, the repeating act might
be voiced"
Times, July IL, 1891
In his vetoes, which were quite
numerous, he displayed the utmost
candor and a complete disregard of
the question whether certain per-
sons or interests would not be ag-
grieved by the failure of measures
which he believed were not de-
manded by the wider interests of
the public. II was during this ses-
sion of 1883 that Mr. Cleveland
made his conscientious and courage.
GUS vetos of the Five Cent Fare
Bill in the face Of a very strong
public sentiment, but in accord
ance with what he was convinced
was his duty as an interpreter Of
the obligations Of the State.
As Governor Mr.. Cleveland has
given candid and careful consider
alton to all measures involving the
interests of the wage-earning class.
Such as he has felt compelled tol
disapprove has been effectively
conceived or, as was the case with
the Five Cent Fare BILL could
have had no influence upon this
class.
No flop of great public journa
can be more pitiable than this, e1-
cept the founder Of the New York
Herald as follows:
Herald, March 3, 1sS3.-Leader.]
Gov. Cleveland has made his
choice as a lawyer, as a public Of
fcer, and as a politician. He has
cast his lot on the side Of the great
corporation and corporate manipu-
lators, and staked his chances fer
future political preferment on their
favor 1.-THE political and legal
principles to which he has given
his adherence in this veto are of
much broader application than to
the elevated railroad fare question.
They have a direct bearing upon |
the great political issues that are |
taking shape in the national arena, |
Monopolies Of all kinds y \ have |
many political theories in common. |
The servants Of one are as a rule
easy to become servants Of the |
other, and it is quite touching to
witness hopeful Presidential can
didate choose his side in the COM
ing struggle beween them and the
people for the control of powers Of
Herald, July II, 1881
THE administration of Grover
Cleveland as Governor has been
highly satisfactory and fully in &C.
,ordance with his views expressed
in his letter accepting the nomina-
