The stories about disagreements in the

estimate made of the facts adduced
by the average correspondent of Repub-

Cleveland was elected President on the
distinct understanding that he was to
consider the Republican party as the
chosen organization of the people and
the Democratic party as something to
be avoided and to be excluded from all
participation in the Government. Then
there is an abundant crop of lies about
