THE PARTY OF FALSE EPRETENSES
Cleveland Leader.
The Democratic party is a party of
false pretenses. During the past twen-
ty-five years there has never been cam
paign when it did not seek to win by
pretending to believe what it did not,
or by promising to do what it knew it
could not or would not do if it had the
power It succeeded in 1884 in electing
Mr.Cleveland to the Presidency as civil
service reform candidate, and the records
of his term of Office show no sincere
wish to further the cause of merit in
the public service and and no honest in
tention of fulfilling the pledges of the
campaign. The reform of the civil ser
vice was with the Democratic party |
merely a platform pretension with which |
to gull few innocents, nothing more.
During the present session of Con- |
gress the attitude of the minority has |
constantly been in harmony with this |
policy of deceit. Pretenses of devotion |
to the soldiers, belied by votes against
every practicable pension measure! Pre- |
lenses of desiring to reform the tariff, |
belied by obstruction and misrepresent- |
ationl Pretenses of favoring honest |
iaI hx-o al ta CT |
bill especially designed to secure theml
Pretenses of believing in temperance,
belied by opposition to the original |
package bill-such has been the record |
of the Democratic party in the last eight |
months.
This fall it will go into the campaign |
for Congressman and play its same old |
game of false pretenses, hoping to i'm |
pose on the credulity of the public. 1t |
will find, however, that its character is |
at last understood and that the people |
know it is no longer to be trusted. The |
habitually false pretender comes to |
place and time at last where he is not
credited even when telling the truth
and acting an honest part. The Demo
cratic party has been false so long, that
nothing it can do will convince the
country that it is other than a lying
cheat and deceiver.
