istration was performed when he called John q.
Carlisle into his Cabinet. A weak or yacillnting
man at the head OF our nations nnsnces would
have retarded. II not prevented, the repeal OF the
silver bill and produced a feeling OF Insecurity

President Cleveland. repres inted By a arm hnan"ier'
has proved to the country that the financial policy
Of the Administrator is worthy OF confidence. AZ
Is illustrated by the eass with which the last
lean was Hoated.
s. +. RYN Brooklyn-To my mind the most
prniseworthy and patriotic act performed by Mr..
Cleveland during bis present term as President was
when the country was plunged In the slough Of
dependency as a result Of the hardness exhibited
by Congress in repeating the Sherman Silver bill,
and he sent word to that august body Of Repre-
s~sntatIves that ''no compromise would be ac-
ceptei, thus forsins the repeal Of the obnoxious
law.
JOSEPH CONDOR. IS Coles street, Brooklyn-
Grover Cleveland'B greatest act was In
turning down the bosses. In disabusing the
minds Of would-be BOSSES that he was respon-
siblc to them Grover Cleveland showed the
American public how useless and harmful bosses
arc: how weak and plastic sn Executive Of the
bosses might he, and how powerful the Executive
Of the people, for the people and by the people is,
showing the public that v hen they attend to public
business they get tho salvation Of our country.
and when they allow bosses to attend TO public
business they get the damnation OF our country.

WILLIAM APLIN. 1856 bridge street. Brooklyn
Cleveland's browning achievement is found In his
Characteristic Obstinacy In forcing a tarir measure
repeatedly and gloriously regulated by tho
American people, Industrial shutdowns and OPEN
ings OF soup kitchens and Worlds relief en-
terprises, consequent thereon. followed his Admin
istration like a shadow. Yet the terrible hand
writing on the wail-the slump In Brooklyn. the
hundred thousand majority for Mckinley. the
nearly two hundred thousand FOR Grow, and the
sweeping New York elcctions-only aggravated his
logged persisteney. This inexplicabie piEheaded-
ness will drive the country into good times again

AMERICAN. Jersey City Heights-The one act OF
Grover Cleveland that will live forever in the
heart OF every true American is the signing Of
the bill repeating the Federal Elections law, which
was a blow at the manhood Of every American
citizen and a direct step In favor Of the evil.

full would eventually cause the disruption Of the
| Republic. namely. the concentration and central
ization OF power In the Federal Government, there
by doing away with the glorious right OF home
rule or tbs right Of each State to control It's own
elections.
MARGARET NJ. CALDWELL, sheepshead Bay
The dispute between this country and Great
Britain relative to the Behring Sea, which was
settled by arbitration. This dispute, II not set
tied by conciliatory means, would lead to war
between United States and Great Britain. War
In many ways, even to the conqueror. is very
disastrous. and the fact Of this dispute being
peaccably settled between two great nations leads
me to conclude that 1t is the greatest achievement
OF President Cleveland.
