A review of the first year of democrat
ic control of national affairs does not con-
vince Harper's Weekly that there has

The New York Sun. which shines for
the democracy. has this to say in speaking
of President Cleveland's manifesto to the
Senate:
The right of the President to keep or de-
stroy private or confidential communications
sill be disputed by no one. When, however,
he places paper in a public Office his own
act stamps it as a document of public import,
and thenceforth its contents should be access
sble to the representatives of the people or
any one else having legitimate interest in
them. When Mr.. Cleveland says, 81 consid-
er them in no proper sense upon the files of
the department, but as deposited there for
my convenience, remaining still completely
under my control" he treats the Attorney
Generals Office, as sort of safe deposit vault
for his private papers. 81 suppose if desire
to take them into my custody" he goes on to
saw, Il might do so with entire propriety,
and if saw fit to destroy them no one could
complain" Upon this theory why could he
not 20 to the Department of Justice and take
the papers away Eve or ten years after the ex-
piration of his term as President just as we'll
10 we'll IS now?

The amount of democratic corruption
that is being uncovered in Cincinnati is a
disgrace to the State. There is no paral-
lei to it except the disclosures of the
Tweed frauds in New York city in 1868.
The overwhelming proof of democratic
forgery and ballot-box stufing has ST.
fenced every democratic organ in Ohio.
Not single attempt to excuse or defend
the frauds is being made. and the gang
which perpetrated them has been aban-
doned apparently to its fate. The inves-
tigstion before the two committees has
been thorough and complete, and
when their reports are made the evidence
will be so conclusive as to carry convic-
ton to the mind of every intelligent per-

The Traveller calls attention to two sec
tons of the Revised Statutes which seem
to have decided bearing upon the view
the President takes of papers deposited in
the department. Section 5403 provides
that any person who takes from any pub
lie office any paper, document or record
filed or deposited therein, with intent to
steal or destroy the same. shall be liable
to fine OF not more than $4,000 or to i'm
prisonment at hard labor for not more
than three years, or both. Section 240S
provides that any officer having the Gus
tody OF any such document who shall
iraudulently take it away or destroy it
shall forfeit his office. and be forever
afterward disqualified from holding any
Office under the government of the Uni
ted States. The law evidently considers
all the papers on file in the departments
public papers.
