CLEVELAND LETTER.

Nearly two months having elapsed since elec
tion. the faces of Cleveland Republicans are
pecomlng more elongated, and the weak and
sickly expression of the corners of their mouths
mas partially disappeared; but their jackets are
still clean and will be for some time to come
Last falls election was the greatest jacket
busting the Republicans ever received and
never was one more richly merited Many are
doubtless expecting the tariff re.ormers to make
some "mistake'' between now and next year 50
that the O. p. candidate for the presidency
may be elected. However this may be. the
Democrats made no " mistake" on the 4th OF
November last, and it is to be hoped they will
notln the future. The whole result was good,
but the downfall of Quay in Pennsylvania and
Oh lneais Ia Kansas was especially good II
senator quay received justice, he would be in
tne penltentlary today instead of in the U. S
senate; ana ingalls, is a big-mouthed western
demagogue. of little use in Kansas or anywhere
else. 1t is to be hoped that ''sockless" Simpson.
SO called the Granger candidate in Kansas for
the Senate, will be sent to Washington If he
were even shoeless as well as sockless, it would
be very great improvement to the U. S. SEN
ate to not only send him. bnt enough more from
other states to rout out the lazy LAWYERS and
iazier mIilionaires who infest the capitol Their
presence there is no credit to the American
people. Ii each House Of Congress had in it a
gooo working majority of honest intelligent.

the hint from the encouraging results Of last
tal4's election. AND DO IT? They have the votes.

speaking of the Force or Federal Election
bill, it will never be passed. The November
cyclone has settled that. The worst Republi-
can element in Congress will let itself down
easily by windy argument, but the bill will
never pass. Another good result of last falls
election.
