GROVER CLEVELAND.

shell embodiment OF the true doc
lrines of Democracy. His charac-
leristic epitome was free of any
''sound and fury" development,
and each word was a touch to the
heart, ard every sentence is re-
pea.ed by the responsive and
easier breathings of the people
"Let us not for a moment miss the
inspiration of those worIs-ht
peoples cause.-the intrenchment OF
spoils and patronage cannot avail
against the valor and determina
ton of right; that bribery and
corruption cannot smother and
destroy the conscience OF our
c2untrymen, and that splendid
achievements await those who
bravely, honesty and stubbornly
fight in the peoples cause"
Such was the text, sucii is the
and such has been the prCd!
of the consistent Democracy of
Grover Cleveland, whose master
ly force of shaping the soul-ideas
Of the people, in their longings
and bewilderment, points out to
each and every one the remedy,
i. e., a government for the people!
which signifies "the defense of the
rights of every man, rich or poor,
in every corner of our land, who,
by virtue of simple American
manhood, lays claim to the promi-
ses of our free government, and 10
the promotion OF the welfare and
happiness of the humblest Ameri.
can artisan, who confidently votes
the protection of Just and eqma'
ldrs."

Respecting government aid

We can follow the great G
FOUNDER of Democratic faith
further, owing to a circumscrib
space. We said so before,
along, and since reading
Cleveland's great speech we
peat it, over and over again, til

of the Democratic party. I
