Letter To New crk Herald
As a friend of Mr. Cleveland and adj
miring those many engaging qualities
which have Won him an enyahle place
among men, | think that under the cir
eumstances of the present dark hours
dark to his administration and his fame
there should be a truce to politics, and
that we should have what might be called
a conference of sympathy with the Presi-
dent upon his unfortunate position Re
membering the patriotic character Of
Mr. Halstead and the zeal with which
he supported the President in that
beautiful mid summer effort to restore
instant and Astounding prosperity by
the institution of policy which, as he
sees it now, bids fair to destroy the entire
fabric Of Republican financial legislation
since the war, | would respectfully re-
commend him as the president of this
conference.
\ study OF the situation will show the
humanity of this proposal. Our honorcd
magistrate came into the Presidency with
his head among the stars. He was law I'M
