,ore fr0o, every single standpoint. In
fbe arst place. Mr. Wilson has always
beeD an ardent tariff reformer, and
would ylndicate the Democratic pledges
OF last year even az the cost of his
congressional position. He was the
chairman of the last National Conveu-
u1n. and was fully Informed upon every
rarty pledge. Again, Mr. Wilson as
chairman could not retain the duty on
coal as against the other members of
the majority. and even were all the
balance Of this wild story true. Mr..
Cleveland would make no such promise,
nor would he hold this judgeship open
until after the next elections. or even

question have been performed in the
House.
Mr cleveland has stated that he was
lrsued 90 appoint a Nirginian as Judge
Bonds successor. and a very prominent

forming of public opinion, the sentiment
,rarliug the matter Is changing con-
Iaublv. and the men who at first were
sp0sed 10 criticize the present admins
uatio0 are being brought to realize that
o-Minis,er Stevens and the American
marines were i'm sympathy and support

ilstice done hy Americans and in the
name of this government. The natives
have no means Of setting forth their side

-1us men who have wrested power from |
heir hands by the aid of this country, |
lre heard from every day In the bold |
assertion OF subsidized sheets which pass |
