raignment of the president He was in
terrupted by Palmer, who asked him to

that it had not been thought necessary to
say single word IN defense OF GroYer
Cleveland. He had reason to believe his
defense had been fully made by the Amer
lean people themselves. Whatever the
senator from Nevada (Stewart) may have

people have not seen it that way. His
record will stand with TIE foremost in
spite of all assaults that may be made
