CLEVELAND TRIUMPHANT.
Finding the progress the president was
making in the affections OF the American
people" continued the speaker, '.his poilf-

trap aud destroy his popularity. First they
attacked him upon the fisheries matter
The president made treaty with England
that secured 10 Americans rights never
had before. but the senate refused TO raiify
il. One Of the great causes OF rejection,
said the speaker. was that certain mis-
ehief-msking men whispered into the ears
of those senator's to rejsct the treaty and
get up q row with Great Britain and all the
Irishmeu in the United States would vote
the Republican ticket. Great laughter

cocoanut But when Cleveland sent In a
message recommending retaliation II they

so they concluded to try il on the Chinese
question"
The Judge then reviewed the Chinese
question from the Burlingame treaty down,
aud repeated what he said about the Chi
Bese in his Cincinnati speech Turning to
the exclusion bill. he said the senators,
after much wriggling and squirming TO see
how they could get out OF IT, had passed IL
THE sAcKvILLE SNARE.
Finding they could not beat us In argu-
ment on the tariff question:, said he,
in the discussion of that measure; finding
that upon the fisheries question they had
made u great mistake; finding that they
equally made mistake on the Chinese
question, those people conceived the idea
Of catching Cleveland in trap by first
catching the British minister in a trap.
You cannot read the Murehison letter with

it?"l
Judge Thnrman-awell, that is ques.
tion that has been troubling me ever since
il was published, and to save my life |
cannot make up my mind whether the
British minister was more a rascal or more
fool. Great cheering At all events he
acted the fool, for he answered the letter
and then that letter and his answer were
kept secret until day or two before a
large Irish meeting was held in New York

after Pat again"
"Blaine held up his hands in holy horror
just to think that the British minister was
Interfering in American psatics on the
side of the Democratic patty, and espec-
ialiy in favor of Grover CiexelAad. Now
that was not fair Interpretation of the
enough in il to enable Blaine to mislead
his audience and make the IrishRen there,
as he supposed, believe the British govern

When Grover Cleveland saw this trick that
was played; when he saw What was being
done TO destroy the power OF the Demo
cratic party and 10 prevent a fair election
ia the United states, he acted Just Ike the
brave, courageous, decisive man that he is.
He sent papers 10 the British government,
aud es they did not recall their minister,
nv Lord Saekyille, Grover Cleveland sent
him mis- walking papers aud said Go; we
dent want any more of you here Laugh
ter and applause.
"And now unfortunately Blaine in his
pretending indignation aud trying to catch
votes had declared that the president
should have sent him out OF the country
as soon as the letter came 10 light. Others
declared the same thing. Well, the presi-
dent has sent him out or told him to go,
and go he viii. and he won't stay here
long either. itiTeat cheering And now
/ see there Is great howl in the Republl-
can papers in New York about the .presi-

Grover Cleveland was declared 70 be bend
ing the knee TO the British government
and that they were trying 70 aid IN his
