WHAT THE PAPERS SAY,
The Presidents Fight is> tho Peoples
Fight and they will Stand by Him.

fisht ana they Will Stand by Him.
(From tho Neao York STAR
Those Democratic Senators who
view the Presidents action with alarm
do not, We fear, comprehend the mat
ter ut issue. The question is not
whether 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
confided it. Once before the people
withdrew that power from the Repub-
lican party, but, bv audaciuus fraud on
one side and tiNid leadership on the
other, the Republican politicians set
the popular will at defiance and seized
and held tho power denied them. Now
the remnant of that revolutionary
party is trying to. accomplish by in
triguc and obstruction the thing that
bOlder raSCals achieved openly nine
years ago. The outraged people at
last see that their chosen leader is
ready to make their fight, and it will
20 hard with any Democrat who now
falters or falls to the rear.
The Presidents fight is the people $
fight. ltis the fight of the Democratic
party to whom the people gave power.
Democrats will stand together in sup.
| porting their leader in the contest
Snch considerations as an ofhce more
or less, or II delay in confirming ap.
pointments, will not concern them
They are arraycd once more against
their old antagonists, and discOntcnts
and disappointments will Disappear il
the joy of combat. Tho grod Ole
party is always at its best in q fight
Nothing else SO fills it with enthusiasm
and fuses 1t into unity. II delights tC
stand by man who has the pluck t,
lead it, and old Jackson's "By tho
EternaP' is still music to its ears. Il
will love Grover Cleveland all the
better if he swcars it still roundel
oath that the people have elected him
President, and President he means t.
be.
| (FTom the Washington Post.)
That all true believers in our system
of constitutional Government cordial,
endorse these enlightened and patriotic
sentiments ought to be granted withou
argument.
| (Fr0m the Ncto York IGmes)
The message is very frank, plain an(
straightforward, and that it is strong
may be inferred from its effect upol
Senator Edmunds. 1t threw that gen
thcman into fit of petuance that up
set his reCollections OF hiStory anC
caused him TO indulge in very undig
nified and foolish language.
(From the Philadelphia 71mes)
The President has answered tho
extraordinary demands of the Senate
in a special message, in which he
frankly and forcibly' sets forth hi,
position Oh the questions which the
! Senate has raised. 1t is not surprising
that Mr. Edmunds was displcased viii
this message, for it is one which hc
will not find it easy TO discredit.
| (from Philadelphia Press, Blaine Organ. ,
The position taken by the President
is illogical. undemocratic aud unjust
His elaborate defence does not beal
examination. He has invited q con
trovcrsy with the Senate in which TIN
latter has only to do nothing in orde
to win, and it does not require u yer,
sanguinc spirit to predict for it sue
| cess.
(FJ0m Nep York Tribune, Blaine Organ
The message sent to the Senate b,
President Cleveland is an extra ordi
nary document.
