What President Cleveland Would Do Were
-- He an Honest Man.

What President Cleveland Would Do Were
He an Honest Man.
1t was grim piece of satire which
commissioned the spoils Congressman,
Hon. Pat Collins, of Boston, to notify
Grover Cleveland of his denomination,
but he performed the task creditably,
and the President at the close of his
remarks accepted the prize and init
mated that in due time he would sig
nifty such acceptance in the usual formal
manner.
When that educ time'' arrives, if
Grover Cleveland were not an arrant
hypocrite, he would recall his formal
letter accepting his first nomination
and would say to the Democracy, as he
said then, that the full realization of
a government by the people will be at
hand : when office is s'a public trust, =
when !" the holders of the ballot will
avenge truth betrayed, ]" and when g the
suffrages shall be altogether free and
interrupted, and as. "a means to this
end he would say in the words of his
letter:
AS means to this end not one would, in my
Judgment. be more effective than an amend
ment to the constitution disqualifying the Pres
ident from reelection. When we consider the
patronage of this great Office, the allurement
of power, the temptationasto restrain public
place once gained, and, more than all, the avail
ability party finds in an Incumbent aUh0m a
horde of o6zce-ho<ders of 6e7aeats
received and fostered ty the hope of tauors yet to-
co1H stan q ready TO all aoitt money and trained
political service we recognize in the eligibility
OF the President for reelection a most serious
danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent
action which must characterize a government
by the people.
And having made this statement he
then would say: For these reasons
publicly stated and to avoid the dam
gers to the country and good govern
ment have already set forth over my
own signature, { can not, with honor,
gentlemen, accept the nomination yon
have rendered me. Thanking you for
that honor, and solicitous for my own
sincerity and honesty,sI respectfully
decline the nominate ns and refer you
to the old bandana which waves at the
tail of the ticket" This is the formal
reply which he would make 8. in. due
time if he were an honest man and
not a hypocrite. - Chicago Tribune.

It Leads All Others.

: It can not truthfully be denied that the
burlington Route, O., B. & @. R. r., is do
ing an extensive business, both passenger
and freight, Of the first named branch of
its service the Chicago Herald recently said,
in speaking of the occasion of the National
Republican Convention: ssThe Burlin gton

any other. Altogether it is estimated that
from June 16 to 10, the period of the excur-
sion s1oi rates, over $4,000 strangers came to

mostly in addition to its heavy regular pass
enger traffic, In receipts of live stock, the
Union Stock Yards Reports show the Bur
lington to be far in the lead. The average
number of cars brought in by it during the
first six months of the years 1886, 1887 and
1883 is e, 40; and the number for the first
half OF the year 1888, notwithstanding the
temporary depression caused by the recent
great strike on its lines, was 24,425, or but
little below the average The latter figure
also represents about "a per cent. of the
total number of cars, 10s. 413, brought to the
Yards for the last half year, being more
than six per cent. in excess of the receipts
by any other road.
