The Post Dispatch is engaged in a

but it should be a little more careful
in its statements regarding the law,
which is of no account.

The Post-Dispatch should know that
the railroad commissioners are hamper

therefore imperative. Its criticisms of
the board are inaccurate and unjust
The board is all right. The freight
question is too big a one to be obscured

hi SOLID DEMOCRACY.

The ChicagoIribune remarked a lew
DAYS ago that if Mr.. Cleveland is cleo
ted in 1888 it will have to be by some
political party not now i'll existence.
Mr.. Curtis had previously stated that
Mr.. Cleveland was in advance OF his
party and might not receive its support.
The Intelligencer then stated that these
opinions were born not of the truth,
but out of the prejudices of the past. A
party That for t~wenty-four years sup
ported its organization under adverse
circumstances, without Office, is hardly
the kind of a body to fall to pieces be-
cause its chosen leader is conservative
and cautious in his appointments. Our
faith that this was so has been fully
justified in the last few days. The
Mississippi democratic convention de-
clared:-
''That in the policy of President Cleveland
so far az disclosed, we see not only nothing
to condemn, but everything to inspire conf
dence in his wisdom, integrity, and states
manship. and we hereby express our unqual-
flied endorsement of the same"
The Iowa democrats say in theil
PLATFORM
THAT in President Cleveland the countr!
has found a man of solid judgment, conscien-
tious integrity, answering fidelity, patriot.
Ism and courage equal to that of Andrew
Jackson; and in his efforts for economy, fol
the exposure of criminal acts of the republi.
can party and its officers, y for hi
zeal in behalf of reform, q = q lie has
acted in such a way as to receive the hearty
thanks of the democracy of Iowa and its un.
swerving support"
The democratic members of the
New Hampshire legislature resolved
1--WE heartily sympathize with President
Cleveland in his manifest determination tC
fill the offices of the county with honest ant
capable men. = = II We pledge him oul
steadfast support, with the confident expec'
tation that the American people will rally
around him and enable him to Danish cOrrup
ton from high places, and to re-establist
wholesome rule, peace, and prosperity
throughout all our borders"
And finally the Ohio state demo.
cratic convention passed this resolu'
tom
ave congratulate President Cleveland ant
his cabinet upon the suspicious beginning
they have made in the necessary reforms O
the government and heartily endorse their i'd
ministration."
These are all patriotic declarations,
true to the lofty spirit and purposes Of
the democratic party aud no one know:
better than does Mr.. Cleveland that tc
win the applause of the democratic
masses Of this country he must give the
country apure,a patriotic and genuine
reform administration. Democrats
are too independent to be kept together
by anything but worthy acts inspired
by worthy motives.
