Washington Sunday Gazette, March s.,


entail 'ense-'in the true spirit Of hospi-
tnlity-l wish TO apply the frs, part to
President Cleveland.
President Cleveland for fonr years has
been the Chief Executive OF the nation.
II ia needless 10 say that he Ias awakened
nntngonism. He has too strong a char
acier not TO do 70. But he has been hon
est, bold and incorrnpuble. He deserves
the "sirrup cup" which now offer him
and which l drink heartily with him.
"Invislble." Mr.. President Cleveland,
welcomed with avidity President-e elect
Harrison, but he speeds you with regret !
said about HIM three years ago, and /
here repeat it ns an evidence OF my own
consistency, and also OF the fact that TIE

mony to his abilities and honesty:
Mr.. Cleveland is fully conscious that he
has this moral support Of the people. No
President since Jefferson has had 30 great
confidence IN the intelligence and virtue
OF the masses as Cleveland. He trusts
them fully, conscientiously beliving they
are TO be trusted. He shows this not
merely in professions, of which he is very
chary, but In deeds. His policy is based
on The idea that the people are the foun.
tain Of power, and their wishes it should
be the first duty of the Government 10
realize. He has but to say the word 10
exprss the wish, and the Democratic par
ty would assuredly nominate candidates
IN full accord with his views and his
wishes, knowing that il he were go dis
posed the entire weight Of the Admins
tration could be thrown with overwhelm-
ing force in behalf OF those candidates.
But Mr.. Cleveland Will not do this. He
does not crave mere party endorsement
by mere party victory of which he
would be the means of winning. That
would be very much In the style of those
who indorse themselves and claim such
Endorsement as popular ratification.
Practically, IL would be the 'mschine'
over again. Now Cleveland was elected
to bust the machine His triumph was
triumph over the machine and in spite
OF the 'mnchine.' He is determined to
let the world see that a genuine reform
is practicable, and that it can be gained
by pure methods. He will NOT do evil
that good may follow. The Democracy
Of New York must fight this fight upon
principle. II they support Cleveland's
views ty nominating men fully in accord
with those views-men who are anxious
and determined to purify Stale rs well AS
national politics-there is little question
OF their triumph. For not only will the
best elements Of the Democracy snppor,
such ticket, but 1t will command the
earnest and determined support Of thou
sands who have hitherto acted with the
Republicans. do not think that the ma
joritY on either side will be phenomenally
large. The people are fighting this fight
and labor under the disadvantage OF oppos.
ing methods that have been invented by
the shrewdest OF men for the purpose oil
organizing and compelling victory. That
they will eventually win is absolutely
certain-that il the party leaders are true
10 the profession Of reform 20 loudly her
aided heretofore, the Democratic party
will win in this campaign, and thereby
draw to themselves the confidence of the
people is also equally certain"
do not desire to say anything fnlsome
about the President, but wish to put on
record that all have said about him
above is what l have practically said
many times, and is said from honest lips
and an honest heart.
PENSION COMMISSIONER ELACK.
i do take pleasure in commencing the
official services Of General Black, the
Commissioner of Pensions. One OF the
most gallant and self lisacrifcing OF our
union veterans, shot all 10 pieces in de-
fence of his counlry's integrity, he has
displayed as much ability in the Cabinet
as he did in the field. For the great
Pension Office, though not technically
recognized as such, is practically Cab
met position and should be recognized as
such. General Black has been much
criticised Ivy partisans, but by all candi1
men he will be recognized as one OF the
best Commissioners of Pensions we ever
had. Personally General Black is the
soui OF honor ana Of couTtesiy, and L do
most cheerfully scar testimony to his
true knighthood M gentleman. He
has been lucky in having for Deputy
