The Snnfh and CleXelnnd

President Cleveland has done more for
the Southern people and States than has
any Chief Magistrate OF the United States
since any OF the Presidents have been
elected from Southern States, and the last
OF these was General Taylor who died'in
a year after his Inauguration.
But no President was ever so antagon-
tied. opposed and hated by the Southern
Democratic leaders as was and is Mr.
Cleveland. They seem to have forgotten
that he proposed and exerted himself TO
have al! the Federal election surveillance
laws repealed and abolished. thus giving
the Southern people complete local self
government and control OF their own cleo
lions. Tney disregard the fact that he
put an undue number Of prominent South
ern men in high public office. 1t was all
for nothing that President Cleveland
fought for a low tariff for the Southern
people. as against the protected and priyi-
legged classes OF New England and North
ern manufacturers.
The Southern political managers do not
consider these matters. They only remenl-
Der that Mr.. Cleveland opposed the de-
probation OF the money standard OF the
country and fought for the maintenance
of sound money. and the preservation OF
the national credit at the highest possible
point. and these facts seem 20 have
wrought his utter condemnation. and every
opportunity Is sliced upon BIZ the South
ern political managers 70 express their
hostility 10 the President.

General Lee, keep cool and don't lose

The efforts of the State Department to
belittle General Lee In this affair are

that General Lee acted as they would
have their representatives act under all
such circumstances. they knew he was
doing his very best to uphold the national
honor and protect American citizens.

do not look with too partial an eye upon
