Daily Republican., 1885-10-26
CI,ye,nod Corruption Fuua.

The reform mask Is being gradually
torn off and Presiden u Cleveland appears
before the public the man tha' va II.
For the hrst time In the history OF our
country has Presidsn. caused 1t to bs
made Known that he gave Thousand
dollars to an election corruption fund.
We wonder not that he did not care TO
discuss that subject, when asked In re.
lation TO It, When the Republicans
Vere In pc yer no language TOO severe
C.bld be EN- oloyed by tho Democrats
In den IN cia ton Of the R. u5licAn cleo
ton fund subscribed BY Federal on e.
holders, and 1t gave them . peculiar
delight to style il corruption fund.
None did more than the Democrats to
pass tho lay making il criminal
offsnse to ask Federal OH ,ist TO sub
scri be- to this iund, and those Republicans
who would even Voluntarily aid their
party By q auancial assistance were do
nominated offensive parttsaps.
But Cleveland haA TO give some earn
est Of his desire 70 500 boss Tweod's
tool elected Governor Of Now York,
this tool corrupted and stepped In fraud
BY Tweed's money. Cleveland hesitate
ed to como out openly In his support,
not that he cared 70 much for the fraud,
but he cared moro for the Repu olicaa
Mugwumps support thst elected him
President. He would have liked To
have kept that support, but tho Mug
wumps utterly refused TO support Hill,
and thus Cleveland il forced TO thro v
off his shallow reform mask, let tht
Mugwumps go and throw all his active
support to Hill with thousand DOLLAR
to back 1t up. Manning has done tn,
same thing, Whitney has done the sam,
thing-.hree thousand dollars given b!
the three leading officers OF this grea
Dem ocratic reform administration, I,
debauch the voters OF New York.
Bat what else can be expected OF q
administration that supports Htggtn,
the ballot-box stuffer, repeater an
SECTION rioter OF Baltimore, In one c
the principal offices In the Troasur
Department. What more can be o.
pectei Of an administration that woul
send Morris Thomas, another Bait
mora rough aud ballot box stufYsr, Of
az an Indian agent, position white
moro than any other should be hlls
by honest men. No doubt Higgti
and Morris will both join ClevelAu
Manning and whitney in swelling Il
election corruption fund OF New Yor
The dispatch announcing the contrib
ton Of the President says:
The President to-day realisee hov impo
ant It 10 for the SUCCESS Of his administrati
that MT. Hill should be elected. His ma
Cd position, emphasized BY larger subsor
ton than mas ever bean given BY any Pr,
dent In modern times for such purp SCI
greatly encouraged the Democrats.
We have not she least doubt that
Democrats are encouraged, but how
they going to make up for the loss Il
must sustain through this Action
Cieve'andp There were decent, hon
Democrats in Ohio, who at least rev
ed and would not vote for Hoadly a
the Democratic party. They could
follow 1t longer In support Of bad 8
eminent, and they threw their VI
where they thought they would be
more efficient In rebuking their O
party. There are some OF these 81
kind of Dem ocrats In New York.
We regret that the bead OF the nat
should have to set such an exam
All fair minded, honest men must
greet It, 1t enhances the potency
money in elections, and where Gle
land has subscribed thousand dol
to elect Tweed's plant tool Cover
of New York, there are Republic
who will give three times that amo
to defeat him. Cleveland. Mani
and Whitney cannot save Hill
defeat, and the money they have
to the Corruption fund OF New Y
to deb such voters, will perish In
overthrow that awaits their party.
