THE CHICAGO Herald, which supported
Mr.. Cleveland in 1884 and 1888, in view OF
the fact that some people are already talking
about nominating that gentleman for Presi-
dent in 1892, says:
In the Administration of Grover Cleve-
land there was too much Cleveland and too
little democracy There was too much arts.
tocracy and too little democracy. There
was 100 much of a disposition to consult the
wshes of republicans and to ignore the
wishes of democrats. There we're too many
apologies, too much humility, too much
constituencies to Mugwump criticism, too
many nte-chambers, too many lackeys, and
too many card bearers. 1t honored and 1t
discredited democrats at one and the same
time. II called into places OF great conspic-
nifty some CT the foremost donkeys ofthe age.

which, even 10 defeat never fatered In its
devotion to principle, and which, in victory,
deserved from its own creatures something
better than derieion and neglect"
Everybody familiar with the proceedings

administration, and with the inside workings
of that administration. knows every word
contained in the above excerpt is true; and
that it is true was the cause of Mr.. CleVe'
