The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1888-09-01

every inch of him. That message
makes Mr.. Cleveland's. election a
certainty" Such were the words
of q careful, conservative business
man, who has been inclined to be
opposed to Cleveland, on reading
the manly message sent to Con-
gress in regard to our relations
with Canada. These sentiments
are shared by nearly everyone
here, many Republicans joining
the Democrats in praising the
President for the straightforward,
sledge-hammer manner i'm which
he placed the subject before Con-
gress. The message has given Mr..
Cleveland q personal popularity
which he never possessed before,
and has brought him befor the peo
pie in an entirely new light. 1t has
created degree of enthusiasm
among the Democrats in Congress
that is bound to tell in the conduct
of the campaign. That Congress
will give him all the power he asks
for in order to retaliate on Canada,
cannot for moment be doubted; a
bill to that effect has already been
introduced in the House, and the
Republican Senators, however
much they might like to, will not
dare to refuse to pass 81 similar
measure. Armed with proper au-
thority, Mr.. Cleveland proposes
that American interests shall be
protected at all hazards, and he
has seven-tenths of the peo-
pie of this country, irrespective of
politics, with him. Letters and
kilograms Of congratulation have
been pouring into the White House
from all quarters, proving that Mr..
Cleveland has once more struck
the popular chord. No better evil
dence of the shrewdness of Mr..
Cleveland in sending this message
can be found, than the faces of the
Republican Senators. One of them
was heard to Remark to another,
"Well it's good by to the Irish vote
now; after that message they will
be sure to stick to the Democrats"
Senator Kenna is looking after
the canvass in w. Va.
Virginia Democrats laugh at the
idea of the Republicans claiming
that State. They say it is as sure
ly Democratic as Kentucky.
Senators Voorhees, and Butler
have gone to Virginia to make a
few speeches.
There are still four of the regular
appropriation bills that have not
yet become laws. They are the
Deficiency bill, over which the
House is now in a deadlock, the
Sundry Civil, and the Army bills,
now in conference, and the fortif-
cations bill, which has been passed
by the house, now in the hands of
the Senate Committee. The joint
resolution extending the old ap-
preparations, expires Friday.
Both House and Senate pension
committees have reduced the
amount of pension proposed for
Mrs. Gen. Sheridan from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Representatives Grain has intro
duced Il joint resolution in the
House, authorizing the President
to veto specific items in appropria-
ton bills. 1t should be speedily
passed. 1t would save the govern
ment many millions of dollars
every year, with q courageous
President, like Mr.. Cleveland, in
the White House. 1t would ef-
fectually do away with the pernic-
ious habit known as "log rolling"
The House committee that in
vestigated the Government print
ing once, nave MADE a report
which entirely eXonerates Mr..
Benedict from all the charges
made against him, and compli-
ments him highly for the efficacy
of his management of the Office.
The Republican Senators made
an effort last week to get Congress
to take a two weeks recess, in
order that they might have time to
prepare their substitute for the
Mills bill. The Democrats refused
to agree, and the effort ended-as
their efforts to get up q tariff bill
seem likely to ended in failure.
The Trea sury has surplus of
over $5,000,0O0 this month, after
paying $lO,OO0,0OO for pensions, be-
sides the ordinary expenditures.
