The president could not know all the
details of this bill. He could only
deal with it in general respects as to
its principle, and, therefore, he wrote
not to disparage the Senate or traduce

justify him and applaud, as they have
already done, his unfiinching fidelity to
his views.
Sorry For German.
It is not resentment that l feel for
the distinguished senator from Mary
land. The consequence to him of this
assault upon the chief magistrate In
the Judgment of his fellow men, he
must endure. for in my opinion he has
made mistake. He has made fear
full mistake. The American people will
never tolerate in any manner treat
ment of this nature of their great
chief magistrate, except on grounds so
solid as would warrant action against

| Not only in his official capacity, but
now also in his admirable, his Won
derful individuality, tried in the stern

Grover Cleveland stands perfectly rec

of his great Office. He is not for the
first time president, but with pecu-
liar glory shared by no other hither-

rageous rectitude won the confidence
of the people and became president
again.
Above all, how shockingly inoppor-
tune comes this accusation which is
levelled at his strength Of character.
He had but just won the applauding
admiration; nay more devoted re-
spect, of the entire people of this
land, by the fidelity by which he has
maintained the constitution and the
laws in a trying emergency, and by
! the tenderness and caution which at
the same time he displayed in the
use of the nations mighty power in
his hands, by the noble dignity of his
figure as with serene and unruff1ed
composure and justice he ruled that
storm which, for a time, seemed to
our minds to threaten civil compos-
ure.
