A MERITED REBUKE.

During the consideration of resolu-
ton commendatory of President Cleve-
land in the New York Senate on inaug-
uration day, Democratic Senator
named Thatcher had the bad taste to
speak of 1.-The humiliation of the Re
publican party in nominating a man
with the character and record of James
G. Blaine" In answer to this remark
Mr. Gilbert said he was ready here or
elsewhere, now or at any other time,
to discuss the question of character
and record as between Grover Cleve-
land and James G. Blaine. Mr.. Blaine,
he said, had filled many of the highest
offices in the gift of the people, and
filled them all with great distinction
and honor. His own State had made
him Speaker of its House of Represent
atives, and had elected him to both
Houses of Congress. He was repeat
edly elected to the Speakership of the
National House of Representatives
When the martyred Garfield was made
President, he selected Mr. Blaine among
so, 900, 900 of people as the most fit man
to be the leading adviser of his Cabi-
net. When Garfield was murdered Mr..
Blaine was selected by common con-
sent as the best man to pronounce his
eulogy. The charges that were made
against him by the Democrats and
free trade Republicans in the last cam
paign were as fiimsy and baseless as
the motives that prompted them were
vile, malicious and hypocritical. They
were pronounced groundless, after full
and careful examination by such men
as Noah Davis, William NJ. Evarts,
Hannibal Hamlin, and host of others,
the best and purest minded men in the
country. How was it with Grover
Cleveland? the Senator asked. What
was his character and record? He would
not repeat the charges made against
him, but would simply take his char
acter and record as confessed by him
selfand duncontradicted. And taking it,
as thus established, he would ask, in
all sincerity, whether there was father
of family in this broad land who could
point his sons to Grover Cleveland and
say: There is man whose character
is worthy of your imitation; there is a
man whose records and acts and daily
life | can recommend to you as model
to be followed" Could any person in
the United States say this to his chill
dren? he asked. Not one.
Il say, then" continued Mr. Gilbert,
land l repeat it, that the Inauguration
of such a man to be the President of
the United States is humiliating to the
moral sense of every man and woman
in this country, and backed up as he
will be in that high office by the Dem
ocratic party, whose chief strength
lies in the solid South, where the con-
stitutional rights of Republicans are
trampled on; where the doctrine of Sc
cession has never been repented of,
and is still held as a perpetual menace;
backed up, I say, by such a party, with
its past record of treason and rebel
lion, his Inauguration, instead of being
cause of rejoicing, is a cause of humil-
iation, of sorrow, and of apprehension
to every loyal heart in the nation"
The resolution was voted down by a
large majority.
