SENATOR lRnY, Of South Carolina, who
is the successor of General Wade Hamp.
ton, has returned to Washingt on from a
visit to Mr. Cleveland, and he is now an
enthusiastic Cleveland man. II is such a
novelty to have an earnest, brave, in
dependent sensible man who knows that
the right thing is the best thing TO do
and dares to do it-a man who knows
that he who serves his country best serves
his party best--that IL is not strange
Senator Irby returned fresh from an
interview with Cleveland TO say: Il
never met Mr.. Cleveland before and
was surprised to hear him talk so frankly
on every topic that was suggested. He
impressed me with the idea that his one
aim Is to make the coming Democra tic
Administration success. He said
nothing during the conversation that
impressed me with the idea that he is
going TO punish those who honestly
differed with him before his renomina-
ton. He is too big man for that. u
Mr. Cleveland is neither disposed to
punish or reward those who made fools
Of themselves or misinterpreted tn,
sense Of the people. He is disposed tC
allow them TO repent, and to let then
down as easily as possible when they d,
repent

IT is unreasonable to object to honors
paid TO ex-President Hayes. He was a
man Of admirable personal character and
his public life had but one blot. For all
that be was an honorable man and a good
executive. and he was the President
For those reasons those who feel inclined
should be allowed to overlook the blot
and honor the man and the President
Those who cannot do that may be silent
or blame the party which committed the
frauds that Hayes condoned.
