the Republican party leaders and the
money bags of Wall street insist, Will

THE CABINET.
Among the mest able and scholarly of
the many admirable gentlemen who have
been mentioned for places in Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet, none have attracted more
general attention than the eloquent sena-
tor from Mississippi, L. Q. c. Lamar.
As an orator, Mr.. Lamar is ever superior
to Governor Hubbard, of Texas, whose
~eloquence, it is claimed, wrested Indiana
from the Republican party, and as a
scholar and rhetorieian he has not an
equal in the senate Of the United States.
MANIFEST DESTINY
Cleveland was n devout follower of
Stephen A. Douglas. He accepted the
squatter sovereignty. theory deduced from
the leading democratic idea of local free
dom or local independence. If Mica
ragua were annexed, the freedom OF the
people aud operation of local law would be
as perfect as to-day. Cleveland went
further and accepted the philosophy of
Douglas involved in the words Manifest
Destiny" Mr.. Cleveland goes a step be-
yond those who declaim so earnestly
about the Monroe doctrine. Flo would
have no complications or treaty stipula-
tons with European powers, affecting
commercial or other relations with Central
America. He cuts the Gordian knot by
annexing Nicaragua. Why not? Didn't
we swallow and digest six millions of
negroes? Why not a few hundred
thousand Spaniards, Meztizos, Indians
and mulattoes. The canal and Eads ship
railway will draw 5000 DOG white men into
the country in six months. Within a
year it will be thoroughly Americanizcd.
The Nicaraguan treaty was defeated that
Nicaragua may be annexed with Tehuan-
tepec, that the ship railway and canal may
both be buil on the property and By the
government OF the United States. Such
are purposes ascribed, by those who
should know the truth, to Grover Cleye
land.
