ticau.
His Remarkable Cotortion on the
Tariff Question Convicts Him
ofGravs Dishonesty
That He is Willing to Sa criace
Principle to Expediency in no
Longer a Question.

1t will be very difficult for the mug
wump admirers of Mr.. Cleveland, to
make their laudatory assertion of bis
honesty and courage to square with his
attempt to get away from the rodical
anti protection position into which he
had himself forced his party and of
which he has all along posed as the
foremost champion Mr.. Mckinley's
protection victory in Ohio last fall, and
even more. perhaps, the crushing de
feat of free trade in Rhode Island,
which the prominent part he took in
thG5 campaign emphasized, taught him
the danger of going before the people
on a free trade platform. With the
true instinct of the trimming, time
serving politician, he did exactly what
he was charged with having attempted
in 190S-he had a tariff plank drafted
which was to all iDtents and purposes
right about face from the radical anti
protection position he assumed i'm
mediately after the alleged free trade
victory of 1890 and occupied, as his
speeches at the Reform" club dinner
and in last springs Rhode Island cam
pawn show, so long as it seems safe and
profitable for him to do SO.
Henry Watterson-to whose efforts,
by the way, IN the last democratic con-
vention the rejection of the Cleveland
tariff straddle and the insertion Of the
ultra free trade plank in the platform
of this year were due-said of Mr. Cleve
lands attempted straddle four years
ago:
He was sceptical of the issue he had
himself precipitated that he sent Mr.,
German and the late William L. Scott
to St. Louis with a cut and dried plat
form, ignoring his own message, ignor-
ing the Mills bill and reasserting as the
party law the straddle we had made in
Chicago in 1884,
Senator Vest corroborated Mr.. Wat
terson's testimony and asserted that:
In 1888, when Mr. German and the
late William L, Scott came to the St.
Louis convention with cut and dried
platform of 1884, approved, as they
stated, by Mr.. Cleveland, the conven-
ton repudiated the movement. and |
heartily Endorsed it's action. Not even
Mr.. Cleveland's name was potent
enough to pull down the flag which he
had placed at the masthead.
OF course, the Mugwumps denied the
truth of these allegations and, indeed,
up to the time of the late Chicago con-
qention the masses of the Democratic
party steadfastly refused to believe on
the somewhat scant evidence produced,
that this great free trade reform"
prophet could guilty of such cowardly
treachery as to thus abandon at the
most critical time the cause which be
led. That he re peated the very same
tactics this year, however. establishes
practically beyond doubt the truth OF
the charges made by Mr.. Cleveland is
perfectly willing. nay eager, to sacrifice
principle to expendiency when his owo
personal interests are involved. He
evidently beliexes not alone in tariff
for revenue only, but in politics for
revenue only-with whatever honor he
can conveniently win throwon in.
