nary sensitive, difficult. and delicate nature.
because OF the change Of political parties aud
methods after twenty-iour year, OF uninter-
rupled domination. This eXaitatiOu is, If
possible, added 10 by the fact that the de-
clarjtIOn OF principles based up0n yoTr last
annual message 10 the Congress OF the United
States relative to tariff reduction and the
dmlnutiOn OF the expenses OF government
throws down a direct and defiant challenge
for an eXacting scrutiny OF the administra-
ton Of the Executive power which four
years AGO was committed in It's trust by the
election OF Grover Cleveland President Of
the United States, and for the most searching
INQUIRY concerning It's fidelity aud devotion
to the pledges which then invited the SUI
frages OF the people.
IAN ongIOssed copy Of that platform,
adopted without a dissenting voice, is here
with rendered to you.
''Iu conveying, sir, TO you the responsible
trust which has been c0n6ded 10 them this
