pronounced:
by no possibility can Mr.. Cleve
land affect the cause Of genuine re.
form, except for i'll. He has had hi,
day-a sad one for his paIty-au,
whatever contributions be made to the
cause Of good government during
that day are upon record, and 60 +,
his credit. But his name in connection
with the Presidency Can only be a re.
proach, because, aside from the con.
Limitations and the fricti0ns it in
wolves, it is but too deeply imbedded
in the popular mind and heart.
Mr.. Cleveland al never a4ain be
President of the Uoited States. Under
no circumstance ought ne to be. That
he should contemplate aLOther candi
dacy, affords strong evidence of a lack
in him of integrity aud virtue. That
a club OF satellites should conspire to
place him again in nomination, is
not merely a proof Of the treason Of
Its members to their country and TO
the party to which they profess allegi-
ance, but OF a degrading sacrifice of
patriotism and mar hood. No party
which is worth the popular confidence
could, or would, put him in nomina-
ton. Any party seriously contem-
plating it would be consigned 70 ever
lasting infamy."
OF CIeveland's address at the New
York dinner Bryan says:
"Probably the most unexpected
thing in the address was his reference
to the Republican administrations
He borrows emphasis from a Scripr-
ural te&t and the Republicans
Of returning 10 hot haste to their wal

lection. This is an unfair criticism.
because the Republicans have never
shown any disposition TO abandon ex-
IRENE protection. Mr.. Mckinley won
political fame as the apostle OF high
tariff, and during the late campaign
reiterated his devotion to his policy.
Those Democrats who voted for Mr..
Mckinley voted with their ewes Oman

M~CKINLEY's FINANCIAL POLICY.
Neither have those Democrats
reason to complain Of Mr.. McKinlev's
attitude on the money question. To
be sure, the Pr sident has cent An

mefalllsm, but in so doing he is onlv
carrying out the pledge contained in
his platform. Unless the gold Demo-
Gratis were in possession of assurances
not given to the public generally, or
expected the President to abandon his
platform, they ought to be satisfied
with his financial policy, He prom

Is doing it ia spite Of the cortiuued
distress caused by such a policy.
The Democrats who supported the
Chicago platform can consistently
condemn both the tariff policy and
1lnal completely Of the Administration
but those who supported Mr.. McKin-
ley are only receiving what they had
a right to expect.

In his address Saturday night he

Mr.. Cleveland recognizes that the
contest over money. instead Of being
ended, is just beginning; he recoeni-

In this he 8 rightly. The Dem
