itee well founded claim of the friends OF

Congress because Of his essentially Repub-
lcal idssa on The totia
There s h1t one conclusion to come to
um ihis ftc., and that is the one tina. we
have frequently pointed cut 10 connection
with the past ulttraLcas Of Republican
leaders, namely. that they, themselves, 90
TO. believe 10 their own doctrine OF their
ovu platform, and ihst President CLEvE-
LANDS auG message, which expressed
.lar own honest sentiments aud belief,
bycn.uug che ground from uader their
feet. forced them TO choose between allow
Dbl. Mr. CLEVELAND to win with hands
down, and ,rumpirg up a false Issue TO
pay agsiust bim. They chose the latter,
and TO stultiiy themselves
The Republicans will be between two
d-ss ia the next Congress. They know
taat tle people want q reform Of the pres
en-. inqnio1s tariff system and they
kcog end believe that the tariff
.aou'd De reformed; yet to stand by
tair housst convictiors would mean Civ
i.g the Die 60 their platform and the whole
campaign BY which they lied and tricked
themselves into power, and an sckowledgs-
ment that Mr. CLEVELAND was right and
his counsel for the best interests Of The
c.ultry and It's Industries On the other
bsri tiey can no longer keep MP che
