The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1895-09-12

the Gorman ticket elected in Mary
land and that those Democrats who
are fighting that ticket, most of
whom are Cleveland men, are acting
against his wishes. But there are
Demonstration people too-in
Washington who do not believe that
any such promises has been made
or that MIR. Cleveland will move a
finger or say word to help German
u his trouble. Mr.. Cleveland has
heretofore shown himself to be the
most implacable and unforgivlng of
men, even where his own political
interests were injured by his refusal
to forgive injuries previously done
him.
Hon. j. S. Kamrar, of Webster
City, Iowa, who is visiting Washing
ton, says of political matters in his
state: "The Republicans will elect
their state ticket this year by an
enormous majority; it wouldn't be
surprising if the 100000 mark was
reached. Next year he will do even
better, as we expect to have favor
lie SOP at the head of the National
ffcseS. The logic of the situation
undoubtedly points to Senator ALI
son as the best the strongest and
the mott available man that could
be named for the Presidency. |
think he is growing in strength all
the time. The enthusiasm of his
own people IN his cause is something
wonderful, and there is scarcely
Republican voter in the state who
doesn' already look upon him as
the nett President
The presumptious opinion of
Comptroller Bowler, which required
ten thousand words to express, re-
fusing to approve the claims for
sugar bounty and referring the
sugar men to the Court of Claims,
would have attracted more atten-
ton hal it not been known so far
in advance just what he had been
ordered to do and why the orders
had been issued. The principle
object the administration has in
view is, of course, to keep the money
appropriated by Congress to pay
sugar bounties in the Treasury.
That object will be attained, as no
decision can be reached by the Court
of CLAIMS until well into November
even should the case be advanced to
the utmost, and it is expected that
the case will be appealed to the U.
S. Supreme Court before the money
is paid. Nothing will please Mr..
Cleveland more than to have either
the Court of Claims or the Supreme
Court decide that bountles are un-
constitutional, but there is very
little probability of his getting any
such pleasure from the Supreme
Court, however the Court of Claims
may decide, although he has the
power of adding one vote against
constitutionality in the Supreme
Court, by the appointment of a sue
eessor of the late Justice Jackson.
The Louisiana sugar men are very
bitter towards Mr.. Cleveland, who
gave them a positive promise that
they should have this bounty and
who used his influence to help gel
the bill providing therefor through
Congress. They now see through
the game, and say that it will cost
the Democrrtic party the electoraI
vote of Louisiana.
The Washington contingent Of

encampment yesterday and to-day

The gold reserve is again below
the hundred million mark, and
Treasury officials unblushingly ad
nit that they are doing nothing
lcaa,d5 nothing, except to rely upon
the members of the bond syndicate
for help to prevent its going lower
Is it any wonder that people are
praying for the end of the Dem
ocratic administration, and thai
the country may never have an
other?
