Fight and they will stand by Hiu,.
(From tie Nem York !Sur.l
Those Democratic Senators who
view the Presidents action with alarm
do tot, we fear, comprehend the mat
ter at issue. The question is not
whether a few Democrats more or
less shall Immediately obtain Offices,
but whether the executive power Of
the United States shall be exercised by
the man TO whose hands the people
confded it. Once before the people
withdrew that power from the Repub-
lican party, but, bv auuacinus fraud on
one side and tilnid leadership on the
other, the Republican politicians set
the popular will at defiance and seized
and held the power denied them. Now
the remnant Of that revolutionary
party is trying to accomplish by in
triuue and obstruction tile thing that
5o!Ger rascals achieved openly nine
wears ago. The outraged people at
last see that their chosen leader is
ready to make their fight, and it will
go hard with amy Democrat who now
falters or falls to the rear.
The Presidents fight is the peoples
fight. tits the fight of the Democratic
party to whom the people gave power.
Democrats will stand together in sup
porting their leader in the contest.
Sncll considerations as all rfhce more
or less, or Il delay i'll confirming APP
puiutments, will not concern them.
They are arrayed once more against
their old antagonists, and disconients
and disappointments will disappear in
the Joy of combat. The good cid
party is always at its best in a fight.
Nothing else so fills it with enthusiasm
and fuses it into unity. Il delights to
stand by man who has the pluck to
lead it, and old Jackson's "By the
Eternal is still music to its ears. 1t
will love Grover Cleveland all the
better if he swears it still rounder
oath that the people have elected him
President, and President he means to
be.
(From the Washingtoa Post.]
That all true believers in our system
of constitutional Government cordially
endorse these enlightened and patriotic
sentiments ought to be granted without
argument.
(Frona the Ne'o York ISmes.)
The message is very frank, plain and
straightforward, and that it is strong
NAV be inferred from its effect upon
Senator Edmunds. 1t threw that gem
theman into q fit of petulance that up
set his recolleclions OF history and
caused him to indulge in very undig-
nifed and foolish language.
(Frona the Philadelphia Tinaes.)
The President has answered the
extraordinary demands of the Senate
in special message, in which he
frankly and forcibly sets forth his
position Oh the questions which the
Senate has raised. 1t is not surprising
that Mr.. Edmunds was displeased with
this message, for it is one which he
will not find it easy 10 diScredit.
{ From PHILADELPHIA Press, Blaine Organ.)
The position taken by the President
is illogical, uudemocratic and unjust.
His elaborate defence does not bear
examination. He has invited con-
troversy with the Senate in which the
latter has only to do nothing i'll order
10 win, and it does not require a very
Sanguine spirit to predict for it sue
cess.
(From Nen York Tri5une, Blaine Organ.)
The message sent to the Senate by
President Cleveland is an extraordi-
nary document.
