came war necessity Harrison was its
friend. Cleveland was its enemy. When the
war was over and national honor required

intensely American. BE has firmly main-
tanned law and order at nome, ana with
dignity and patriotism maintained our
rights and upheld our honor abroad

affiliations and experiences were such as to
prepare him for the work of vetolng PEN
sion bills returning rebel flags, advocating
free trade ard making war generally upon
the patriotism and the prosperity of his
country when he became President. 1t was
not to tho credit of the American people
that he was made President once 1t would
be inexcusable to make him President
twice.
