mltted Grover Cleveland TO become
President. and the calamities which
have beflllcn the country since are too
sad TO relate His administration has
been bad md nothing but bad. He
has destroyed his party and wopld
have destroyed the country had not the
people with almost one voice arose and
repudlated him. Grover Cleveland Will
pass Into history as the only President
OF the United States who deSpiSed the
men who elected him and the country
