Sea any good in his character or

Eu.ra,i0u and gratitude for much that

Every intelligent man, knew that
s .ssle on which we had won In the
cent past and upon which we must

FOYER Cleveland had risked his public
reer on this issue and made success
ss5h'e, and Roger Q. Mills stood before
e country as its leading defender and
p01ent In the House OF Representa-
yes. The same reasons which cauSeu

treat from the advanced position OF

ton OF an aggressive war upon the

z disaster. NV support OF Mr.. Cieve-
ld is simply because of his represen-
