THE CLFVEL4ND PTZZLF.

Mr.. Cleveland has been enjoying himself in
Buffalo recently. That generous-hearted city,
overlooking the ingratitude which she and sun
dry of her fayorite sons have received at his
hands, has been treating the prodigal to no end
of fatted calves and fxings. II his heart had
beaten steadily true and fervent TO her. ii he
had not turned an ice-cold shoulder TO many
of the citizens of Erie County while he held
office at Albany and at Washington, she could
lot have given him a heartier welcome But
then Buffalo never does things by halves II
she sets out to forgive an erring but presum-
ably repentant Buffaonian, she forgives him
thoroughly. She booms even when 1t comes to
olive branches.
Mr.. Cleveland, in acknowledgment of the
inequalities lavished upon him, has made a
number of speeches. In the last of the series
he inserted a puzzle. and then left the city
without furnishing clew to it. Speaking to
the Cleveland Democracy, he characterized the
labOrs OF his party in recent years as 1" a cam
paign OF education" and then proceeded to re-
mark to his hearers "Surely your rewards
are most abundant. You have not only aided
in the advancement of the Democratic stand
ard. but you have also contributed your full
share in demonstrating that the people can he
trusted when aroused to thoughtfulness and
duty" Now this, we submit, is an able puzzle.
A campaign of education''-who has been ed
ucated by it? Not the American people, for
they repudiated the FTee-Trade Presidential
nominee II there was any reason TO believe
that the Democracy as a whole, as a result Of
the Presidential election of 1888, had been ed
ucated ont OF its Free-Tradc convictions and
had been educated into protection for Ameri-
can labor and American capital there would
be some significance " the phrase. AS 1t
