THE CASE IN BRIEF.

which, IL there were no others. ought
to govern good citizens. Such citi-
zens ought to vote for the best and
worthiest candidates. They ought to
support those principles which will
make the nation honored and pros
porous. They ought to put down the
party which seeks selfish ends by foul
and dishonest means.
The Republican candidates deserve
support if there were no difference in
the principles or methods of the par
ties.
James @. Blaine is one of the abb
est living statesmen; Grover Cleve-
land is the smallest man ever nomin-
ated for the Presidency.
Mr.. Blaine has experience, knowl-
edge of men and mastery of public
questions. Mr.. Cleveland has neither,
and must be the tool of somebody.
Mr.. Blaine is a Christian gentle
man, temperate in life, the head of
happy family. Mr.. Cleveland, the
clergymen of his city testify, is not.
Mr.. Blaine, during thirty years of
active life, welding large power and
exposed to constant temptation. has
taken not one dollar that did not be-
long to him. Mr.. Cleveland took
money that did not belong to him by
fraudulent charges as sheriff.
Mr.. Blaine is not accused of any oct
of wrong-doing, but has written let
tiers which, if judged contrary to the
tenor of his whole life, can be con-
strued as evidence that he was will
ing to do wrong. The bargains be-
tween Mr.. Cleveland and the indicted
officials by whom he was nominated
were so fragrant that the very jour
nails which now pretend to have the
most faith in him then denounced him
most severely.
Mr.. Blaine has those qualities
which make people love him. If any
man is capable of liking Cleveland,
or any woman of loving him, the man
or the woman needs pity.
General Logan was one of the
bravest loyal generals, and is now a
statesman of power and courage. Mr..
Hendricks was a copperhead, and is
trimmer and slanderer.
Mr.. Blaine represents the protec-
ton of home industry. Mr.. Cleve-
land is the favorite of all the Free
Traders, and four-fifths of the Demo
cratic Representatives voted last May
for the Morrison bill as "a first steI
toward free trade
Mr.. Blaine represents free anC
far vote and an honest count, in al
the states. Mr.. Cleveland is thu
willing tool of conspiracy agains
free government. which can succeed
if at all, only by systematic assassin
alton of its opponents for sixteel
years, by fraudulent notes and per
iured returns.
Mr.. Blaine represents honest mon
ey, good alike in every part of tn
land. Mr.. Cleveland represent
those who would destroy the Nation
al banks in order to revive the swim
ding Wild cat state banks with whic
Democrats always cursed the cour
try.
Mr.. Blaine seeks to expand til
commerce of the Nation through rels
tons with other Powers, through i'll
eral provisions for the consular Sc
vice, and by establishing mail route
to foreign ports. Mr.. Cleveland p
culiarly represents those hirelings I
British bondholders who lied abo1
the foreign negotiations of their oN
country in order to earn the pay
9 Chilli and the Rothschilds.
Mr.. Blaine leads the people wi
: freed the slave, suppressed the rebe
ion, and restored the pnblic cred
Mr.. Cleveland and his party defen
+ ed slavery, declared the war failur
O demanded the repeal of the Resum
ton Act, even after it had succeede

passed in stupidity and in crime e
h cry other party in human history.
