No free trade democrat is under
the least moral or party obligation to
vote for Cleveland since he has repudi.
ated the free trade platform of his
party and has come out for protection.

S-Cleveland was many Thousand
votes stronger five days after he was
nominated in the Chicago democratic
convention on the free trade platform
than he is now, five days after writing
his flabby, crawfishing letter, in which
he goes back on free trade. Remove

Some sensational idiot in Chicago
claims to have in his possession a letter
from President Harrison indorsing
what he calls a political conspiracy.
He wants twenty-five thousand dollars
for it. and alleges that its publication
would greatly iujure the republican
party. We are opposed to betting. but
would be willing to do violence TO our
conscience to the extent of wagering a
small sum that no man on earth holds
a private letter with the presidents
autograph attached to IT, the publica-
ton of which would injure Mr.. Harri-
son or the republican party. Mr.. Har-
rison has some faults. but that of slop-
ping over is not one of them. His foot
is a total stranger TO his mouth. and it
has not even a nodding acquaintance
with his pen. st Louis Globe Dem.
