have known good many presidents
in my life, but never saw any man in
the presidential chair but one who was
so industrious, so laborious, so constant
as that man Grover Cleveland. TGreat
app!ause.l i had occasion to pass few
NIGHTS at his house about three or four
weeks ago, and let me tell you
that he never went to bed until
after midnight and he never went to
bed until he had eXammed-for con-
greSS was then in sesSiOn-a pile of bills
that high Gndicatingl, sent to him for
signature; but not one of them would
he sign until he had investigated
fully and fairly the law and the
he might make no mistake. [Great
cheering and a voice, That's the kind
of a man for us."] That is the kind Of
a man | say, too, and [ tell you now
that in my humble judgment there is no
consideration in this world that would
make him sign bill that he did not

be signed. More cheering and
voice, II believe that, toO."1 Well,
my friends, finding the progress that
this man was making in the affections
of the American people, his political
opponents have sought to get him into
trap after trap and destroy his popn-
larity with the people. In the first
place Trey attacked him about
CERTAIN GOLDFISH AND HERRING
upon the Canada side. Laughter and
cheeringl Some of them got into a
scrape with the Canadians about cod
fish and herring. Cleveland went to
work and made a treaty; he made
treaty with the British government, and
the senate rejected it at meet
ing held in the city of New
York, and to be addressed by
Mr.. Blaine, for Jimmy was after Pat

Jimmy thought that lie had sort of
patent right machine for catching Pat

1884, but the patent did not work well.
Continued laughter.] He determined
TO try it again and so the Sackville-
California few days before Blaine's
meeting in the city of New York. and
Blaine had it at that meeting and he
held up his hands in holy horror. Just
to think that the British minister was
interfering in politics, and interfer-
ing, as he interpreted it, on the
side of the Democratic party,
and especially in favor of
Grover Cleveland. Now, my friends,
that was not fair Interpretation of the
British minister's letter. but there was
just enough in it to enable Mr.. Blaine
to mislead his audience and make the
Irishmen there, as he supposed, believe
that the British government was trying

it never failed to knock his adyersaries
down. [Renewed laughter and APP
plause.] When Grover Cleveland saw
the trick that was being played; when
he saw what was being done to destroy
the power of the Democratic party
and to prevent q fair election in
the United States, what do you
think he did? He did just like
that brave, courageous, decisive man
that he is. He sent the papers to the

out of the country, or in effect ordered
him out of the country, all at once the

he has treated the British nation"
