ALL HONOR TO GROVER CLEVELAND,

Mr.. Cleveland's honesty gave him too
many loads to carry.
His desire to keep faith upon civil
service reform s~ntagonized a large
section of his party; his attack upon
the subsidies of the protected barons
antagonized them, with all their bill
lions of unfairly accumulated wealth
his vigorous recovery from the big
railroad corporations of the public
lands they were unlawfully Withholding
from the people, antagonized these land
other corporations in sympathy with
them, and with their billions OF wealth
they fought him; his ordering OF the
cattle kings from the reservations
offended them, and they lent little
rivers of gold to swell the great stream
that was poured out to defeat the friend
of the masses of the people.
His vetoes of fraudulent pension
bills, to protect the public treasury in
some cases, to protect pensioners in
others. always periodically and unset
fishly done, was turned against him
with the very men who should have
sustained him in his efforts TO make the
pension list q roll of honor, and the
most powerful political organization or
earth, the Grand Army of the Republic
spent its every energy, and its member
lavished their money everywhere, te
defeat him.
And with all this, with millions ant
millions of dollars poured out lik'

against him like . wall; with tn
manufacturers intimidsting and driv

The chances are rather against the
passage of an agreed upon tariff bill by

branches are radically different, beside
which the republicans would rather the

OF patriotism, as has been very clearly
