to death for the benefit of the tariff

Mr.. Depew SAYS that the repub-
licSn party will take higher ground
in regard to the civil service hereafter.

it was when one hundred and thirty of
President Harrison's office-holders
helped Mr.. Dctew reuoninate him
Y. Y. World.
There was a decrease of about
one million dollars in the treasury cash
balance during November. but it is still
large enough to answer all purposes
up to the advent of the next admins
tration. and that is as far as the repub-
licans are interested in the matter.-St.
Louis Globe Democrat (rep.).
-Cleveland's triumph means new
freedom and wider scope to American
industry and American enterprise.
Democracy's rule will bring added

views to the effect that he thinks the
Illinois republicans should nominate
their candidate for United States sena-
tor in open convention in 1894. The

Enquirer
The twenty-fourth president of
the United States will be iuaugurated
| under conditions of the happiest
aueury. The abiding principles of
political economy will be allowed ac-
ceptance by the people. Capitalization
has received a final check. Democracy
has won n victory more abiding. more
conclusive and more satisfactory to the
people of the country than it has
achieved in the century of its exist
ence.-Buffalo Times.
1t has been predicted that Mr..
Cleveland's second term will contrast
conspicuously with his first term in the
respect that it will be more partisan
and will follow out more closely the
Jacksonian idea that to the victor be-
| longs the spoils. There is nothing in
| the record or personality of the presi-
dent-elect to warrant such an assump-
| ton. Mr.. Cleveland has never shown
himself subservient to those influences
| which control the average politician.
His Indifference to them has proved the
| source of his greatest stren2th.-kan-
sas City Star.
Mr.. Cleveland, owing his election
| to the popular strength of his cause
and the popular confidence inspired by
his character. is not indebted for his
success to any man Or set of men. No
gratitude is due from him except to a
large majority of the American people.
| He is free to serve the country accord
| ing to the dictates OF his conscience
| and his good sense, entirely unembar-
raised by any sort of private obllga-
| tons No president in American his
tory except Washington could enter
upon the duties of his high office with
a prouder sense of independence and
stronger assurance of being trusted by
the people. Weekly.
