GROVER Cleveland goes out OF Office 9
very much abused man. \ great deal o.
it has come from his own party. From
the beginning OF his term clear through
TO the end he has acted too much as q
boss. This brought him into contempt
with his party, and in its last national
convention it refused to pass resolution
indorsing him and his Administration.
Such thing had not occurred before in
any party, and hence it was sore re-
buke to Mr.. Cleveland and his public
acts. 1t all came about from the fact
that he had proven recreant to the con-
fidence reposed in him He went into
office pledged to tariff reform. The plat
form also declared for the coinage of
silver upon the same terms as gold. But
all OF this went unheeded by him after
he got into office and the result was gem
eral political disaster.

WITH all the boosted assertions thai
the Democratic party is in disorganizet
and bewildered state, it is not so in thii
county. The big crowds that gathered
at all the precinct meetings last Saturday
was a sure evidence that we have lost
but very little. The defeat OF last fall
instead OF discouraging many, seems to
have given them renewed courage 10
press forward. The cause OF Democracy
has not suffered here, because OF recent
reverses. Some who have stuck to the
old ship through dark days and fair
weather are little chagrined TO see some
OF the faithful going off with the enemy.
But we have not been able TO check them.
II they will not agree with us in such
things, as are wholesome and sound in
doctrine, then there would seem 10 be
an end Of il. So far as Democracy is con-
cerned she is still in the saddle and here
to stay. And when 1t comes to voting.
we hope TO have 'nough and TO spare.

to happen when the convention met.
