CLEVELAND AND GENERALIZATION.
Touching the tyranny and auiocrat-
ic and c-ntralizing methods of Grove r
Cleveland, the following extracts will
prove interesting. This is from n
Democratic paper that warmly sup
ported Mr.. Cleveland:
| What is this Administration talk Dos
il mean that the peoples ant, their hired
| man, Mr.. Cleveland, Is now assuming TO
| have more power than even the Constitution
conferred on really great men like wash
| lngton and jefferson and Jackson and Lin
| coin?
| Does this man from Buffalo cherish some
| sort of an idea that he is the people and
! that the battle of 1880 and the iiercer strug-
gle of ls52, was all over the election OF y
| President Has he some sort of a notion
that the control of the House and the SEN
ate was not in the peoples minds
A man elected by the same votes that
elected our State legislatures and Cong re.s-
4 - a mel t.f an EeY
hired men, setting himself and these sub
servient tools up a. an Administration
| To do what?
To dictate to our ether servants
This, then, Is the Administration that we
are hearing about? Ii is the influence that
is seducing our Congressman from the hon
est purpose they were elected To carry out,
and with promises of offices by which they
may hope for reelection. this Administra-
ton hopes to please its Wall street friends
and satisfy the Eastern plutocrats."
The truth is that round our national
capital there is s growing disposition
TOWARDS GENERALIZATION.
Even Democrats are getting to act As il the
President and his cabinet were a supreme
power. Men who have been elected as free
and independent representatives are In
clined to see in the Administration a little
god they must fall down and worship. Sen
atOrs, with ink on their credentials yet fresh,
with clearly expressed instructions from
their State legislatures before them, are dis
regarding everything but the wishes of the
administration.
Democrat sick-all this talk about the votes
the Administration can count on; Mr.. Car
Isle vOicing the wishes of the administra
ton; BisselI carrying out the wishes of the
Administration; B-ass-Collar Lamont bark
ing to get the larger Administration dog,
started; brainy Senators getting down and
KISSING THE BIG TOE
of the Administration; influential newspa
pers crawling in the dust before the Admin
istratiOn."
The San Francisco Chronicle said oil
Car Cleveland.
He began his extraordinary course by
attempting to use patronage among Repre-
sentatives and Senators TO influence them
to vote for the financial measure recommend
ed by him. This has been asserted time
and again in and out of Congress, and nc
one has cared enough for the constitutions
prophecies to deny it. Then he organized
cabal among the Representatives and
Senators TO take charge of and push tn,
bill through. He even went so far as to sc
lect-a leader to represent the "AdmInistra
ton forces on the floor of the House. Blu
. it is not worth while to 60 into further de
tails OF this, the
| MOST DTsGRACEFUL EPISODE
; in the legislative and constitutional histor,
, of the Republic"
Another Democratic journal de
clared:
8 As centralizer and a spokesman Mr.
: Cleveland is an astounding instance o

: use of the threat to Withhold il, az mean
. of bringing Congressman to the support o
8 his policies, have become perfectly open
z His assumption of supreme authority owe
the legislative branch of the government
and his ignoring of The judicial arm testif
to his contempt of the Constitution and hi
: carelessness of the obligations of his inauga
raj oath. If the occupant of the britis
throne were to arrogate to herself such i'm
!. perial plentitude of power, the throne woul
o BE OVERTURNED IN A DAY.
