or after it had been mangled and distort-
ed by the senate. I am sorry for the
fate that overlook Wilson last Tuesday,
but cannot repress the thought that he
accomplished his own defeat by listen
ing to the counsels of others less cour-
ageous than he, and not daring to stand
firmly for the pledges of his party.
"Grover Cleveland was never con-
sistent tariff reformer. When he became
president of the United States it took
him three years to find policy, and then
he ran away from it as soon as he was
caught. In 1887, when he wrote that
first famous message, he got SO scared
about it that ten days later he published
an interview in the New York Herald
taking the backbone out of the whole
thing. Then he sent German and Scott
to the St. Louis convention in 1888 with
a cut and dried platform that made the
most miserable and cowardly straddle on
the tariff question ever invented.
''Look how Cleveland acted in 1899!
William F. Villas went to Chicago as the
personal representative of this man who
pretended to be the great pioneer, the
John the Baptist of tariff reform! And
what did they try to do? They tried to
ram protectionist issue down the threats
of self-respecting democrats. They stole
plank out of the republican platform
and wanted democratic convention to
indorse it. Finally, when he was elect
ed president, despite this apostacy to ths
principles of his party, Cleveland DELHI
erately sat on the wings Of every honest
and able advocate of low tariff, and
forced the wretched Wilson bill upon the
party, with all its labyrinth of trouble.
''To this action of a democratic presi-
dent may be chiefly ascribed the demon
allied condition of the democratic party.
No letter from Grover Cleveland would
have helped Hill in New York. 1t was
too late. The ruin had already been &C
complished. It was hard for democrats
to witness their own administration set
ting the pace of apathy in the campaign,
and refusing to indorse the nominee, but
that very result was invited when the
national convention two years ago went
to the most faction-cursed state In the
union for its candidate.
II predicted then that the democratic
party was marching from a slaughter
house to an open grave. It seems that
I was just couple Of years too soon.
The last presidential victory for the
democratic party was a mere accident Of
the times. Cleveland ought never to
have been nominated. We voted our
