Gs:s; FA27. OF a TRUST ORGAN
B'ESOD UPON.

One % the "trust" organs of this
Stttc.-":c refer to it as n "trust" organ
because II is II worsniper of the great
'ttu>t' protector, Blaine, and preteuds
t. b@i.eyo that an exhorbitnnt revenue
tax i#'Ha advantage to the country at
inrSn--mAkcs an attnck upon the Presi-
dent" honesty of purpose. from which
the following Is quotations:
'lf the whole of Mr.. Cleveland's nd
ADMINISTRATION has not be"n of the lying
charact II it's history has not yet been
told. What about his promises Concern
ing civil service reform; We're they ever
carried out? No! Why do not tho adj
m;rers OF the mans wonderful honesty
and general kind-heartedness refer to
his scandnious cruelty in vctoing nearly
all bills passed in Congress awarding
pensions 10 the widows and orphans of
gallant mcn who gave their valuable
lives for the salvation of their and his
country"
Unless the above mentioned organ is
unusually stupid it is well aware that
Mr.. Cleveland has come very much near
er carrying ont his pledges to the people
than has any President since Lincoln,
and the people recognize the fact, not
outstanding tho PARTISAN blindness of
the "organ.''
AS for the miserable attempt to make
political capital out of CieveIaud's
vetoes of certain pension bills, 1t need
only be called to mind that good and
sufficient reasons for such action nc
companiod each veto exercised. The
fn"t Is now welt known that the Presi-
dent hal dug much deeper into the
meritS-or rather demerits-of these
claims than Congress had, md discover
ing their unworthineSs had the honesty
and nerve to disapprove them, knowing
ful! we'll Mt tie time that the entire
pack Of opposition organs would howl
iii unison 1T his heels. But Mr.. Cleve-
land is clearly person not easily in
Inundated or discouraged from the dir-
charge of II duty, however. disagreeatle
it may be. The implied charge of
Cievelnnd's lack Of sympathy with tho
soldiers is sufficiently refuted by the
t"ct that he has approved great many
more pension bills than any of his
predecessors; never having fniled to
milk his signature to any which after
Thorough Investigation WIS found E., b,
meritoriDus.
The integrity ms well rs nerve of Mr.
Cleveland is Of tho Jncksonian type and
was never mote clearly manifested than
By the issuance Of his Int message t.
Congress wherein he firmly endorsed
the Democratic doctrine of tariff reform.
Thus voluntarily sprinsing the only is.
she that could possibly hive leonard
Izsd his reelection, for it is n fact we'll
known. that without the weapon thus
furnished by Mr.. Cleveland to his polit-
zeal enemies they would have been
totally un"rmcd in the present contest.
But in spirit Of self.abnegntion all
personal considerations were sunk in
profound regard for the material inter
eStS of the whole country and in the

to distinguish their real from their pre-.
