Where hn. been the Gnint

lFrom the burlington Free Press
President Cleveland's term of office is
rapidly approaching its close, yet the pub
lie has waited in vain for the accomplish
ment of the great reforms which were
promised by the Democrats during the last
presidential campaign. No glaring frauds
on the part of Republican officeholders have
been discovered, the surplus has gone on
increasing, the tariff laws have not been
revised, and in fact nothing has been done
to justify the turning over of tie govern
ment to the Democratic party, nor can any
blame be laid at the door Of the Republican
senate as opposing reform measures. No
department gives the country better ser
vice than was received under Republican
control, and in many ways the service in
some departments has been conspicuously
inferior. Business has not improved, wag
es are in many cases lower, and labor trou-
bles have been more frequent than ever be
fore. If any of our Democratic contempt
rares can spare time some day, it might be
well to attempt to enumeTate the benefits
that have accrued to this country from the
accession to power of the Democratic party

| Democratic newspapers have been
assuring their readers that Mr..
Randall of Pennsylvania would

Randall's intimates announce that |
he is engaged in framing a tariff |
bill of his own, which he proposes
to offer as soon as completed.
The Pennsylvania will be sure
to have some followers from his
side of the House, which makes 1t
extremely doubtful whether the
low tariff Democrats can succeed in
getting their bill passed even by
the House. OF course it is doomed
to defeat in the Senate should it

WASHINGTON LETTER
lFrom our regular correspondent

| FROM our regular correspondent
/ WASHINGTON, March 9th. 1888.
| The last Democratic combination
is one that should interest every
old soldier. It has been entered
into by members of the House of
Representatives for the purpose of
preventing the Dependant Pension
bill from being voted upon when it
gets before the body. 1t is said here
that Cleveland himself requested
the formation of this combination
in order to prevent his having to
either veto or sign this bill just on
the eve of a Presidential election.
The tactics to be adopted in the
House to accomplish the defeat of
this bill will include fillibustering
of all sorts by the members of this
cowardly combination. Cleveland
talks to Grand Army men whom he
meets as though he would sign this
bill should it pass while at the
same time he is probably chuck
ling to himself to think that his
friends will prevent a vote being
taken on it. This is all the more
cowardly from the fact that few
Democrats in the House, with the
exception of those from the South,
will dare to record their votes
against such measure. The Re-
publlcans of the House however. /:
in the minority, will prob 4
