Grover and Democratic Principles.

Grover and Democratic Principles.
President Cleveland has had very
serious attack of Democratic princi-
pies" recently. He got so full of
Democratic principles" that he was
forced to write out few and send
them to Congressman Wilson. In his
celebrated letter to Mr.. Wilson, in
which he accuses the Senate of per
fidy," he uses Democratic principles
ten times. Grover has all of sudden
become concerned about Democratic
principles, Democratic pledges"
Democratic good faith. Democratic
success" Democratic efforts, ""Demo-
cratic lines" etc.
The President should have thought
of Democratic principles" earlier in
his career. He should have shaped
his course in accordance with Demo
cratic principles" when he was urging
law and asked Congress to pass free
coinage bill in accordance with ancient
Democratic principles. He should
have exercised better Democratic prin
ciple when the seignioraga bill was be-
fore him for his signature, and also
shown little common sense by sign
ing it. He should have exercised
Democratic principles by urging Con-
gress to provide for an issue if green
backs instead of entering on sale of
gold bonds in a time Of peace. He
should have borne Democratic princi-
pies in mind when he was called on by
the railroad combines to furnish troops,
and taken Democratic stand in favor
of the rights of the states and the sub
serviency of the military to the civil
power.
1t is in accord with Mr.. Cleveland's
whole political course to cant about
Democratic principles in order to force
| measure through Congress. When
he had designs on the silver dollar he
prated about the interests of the farmer
that he desired faithfully maintained
He is political hypocrite and an un
Eitigated political humbng. He doe,
not know What Democratic principles
are. He is familiar with plutocrntic
skull-duggery, but to principle he is &
| stranger.
There is not one of the principle:

Hamiltonian principles would sui
Grover better than Democratic prin
ciples. It would be fully as consistent
to talk about the love John Sherman
has for Democratic principles, or thu
respect his satanic majesty has fo'
morality, as to ailate on Growers Demo
cratic principles.
The fact is, Grover would not rec
ognize a Democratic principle if h
were to meet one in the middle of the
big road. The Democratic principle!

Indeed, Democratic principles are dead
