FOUNDER of the constitution arc
united in the cause of the people.
The man Of destiny and the sage of
Ohio receive the highest honors of
the Democracy. The chicftain in
the prime of life and The aged but
undanntcd hero of an hundred fights
are together presented to the sur
fragcs of the nation.
The men arc alike in tile substance
of their characters. Each is aggres-
sivcly true. The distinction of each
rests on implacablc hostility to pub.

cracy. Thurman is the Cleveland of
the better days Of the republic. Il
has dcvolvcd Gil the president TO lead
his party to victory, and, happier
Than Moses, to 60 with them into the
possession and reclamation of the
promised land. 1t has dcvolved
many time on his ilustrious col.
league to head the forces of the
constitution against the victorious
cohorts of Capitalization, to deserve
success while not achieving it. and
TO await with philosophy the return
of reason TO an impassioned people.
Had the fiat of the Almighty cast the
time and lot of Cleveland in the
period and tasks of Thurman, the
qualities and record of the New
Yorker would have wrought out Cor
him history not unlike to that of
the son Of Ohio. Had the latter
been confronted with the duties as.
signed to the chief magistrate, he
would have performed them with the
same indomitablc resolution.
Both III dissimi!ar environment
have displayed analogous character
istics. To neither is indirection pos
siblc. In the one is the same whole
some simplicity that is in the other.
BY each is the same judicially clear
intellect exhibited. BY both is the
same tendency TO rcposc action on
the bed rock of principle constantly
shown. Not will it win or lose ?
but should it be done ? is the ques.
ton asked by the minds Of both. In
standing by the compromises of the
Federal compact, Thurman exhibited
a strength of purpose and clarity
OF vision not exceeded by Cleveland
when enforcing the reforms of the
later time. Neither has found any
work for the honor of the party and
for the veal Of the people too small
or too large to do, when called to it
! by fellow citizens. Before he was
summoned to his exalted duties in
the State and in the nation, Mr.
Cleveland was welding the fail of
the veto on the stealing jobs Of a ras-
cally set of retail robbers in Buffalo.
10 both Democratic .scoundrcls are
the worst of all scoundrels. They
add to wickcdness against the poo
pie the turpitude of party betrayal.
They combine injury to the public
with dishonor to the organization,
on which depend the best hopes of
men for liberty regulated 10y law. By
Republicans their undoing is pun.
ishment only. By Democrats their
overthrow augments discontinue
with the vindication of the faith of
which the followers of jefferson are
put in trust. Not more completely
has Cleveland brought to their down
fall the banded abuscrs of delegated
or usurped powers than Thurman in
the chamber Of state put the defend
ers and beneGciaries of the credit
mobilier in the pillory of public
scorn, and fastened on the Pacific
railway rings the powers of the law
of his own framing. The admins
trative reiormcr and the legislative
reiormer are the supcrlatiyc Demo.
