We arraign the Democratic
administration of President
Cleveland for having failed tn
keep the pledges OH which it
came into power. II promised
economy and retrenchment, and
has been most cxtravagant in
expenditures and appropriations,
which. for the current year,
largely exceed the abundant
revenues of the Government. 1t
promised to reduce the SUR lus
in the Treasury, has permitted
such surplus to lie idle and ac-
cumulate 10 the Injury Of the
business of the country, and has
refused to approve Of the action
of a large majority OF both
Houses Of Congress directing
that such Surplus be applied in
payment of the Understanding
debt of the country. 1t prom
ised to care for and give atten-
tion to the disabled soldiers and
sailors of the late war, and has
treated with contemptuous veto
every pension bill against which
it could find any shadow Of tech
MICA! objection. 1t promised 10
protect the person and property
of citizens both at home and
abroad, and to maintain he dig
nifty of the nation, yet in its re-
lations with Grert Britain it has
shown itself unwilling to give
protection to either person or
property, and has permitted our

aged the express will Of Con-
,ress, and denied to this people
heir rights by its unexplained
md continued refusal to execute

government Building in the
capital of the State. 1t has
