FAREWELL GROVER.

Before the next issue Of the BY.
srANDER President Grover Cleve-
land will lay down the honored
mantle as chief executive of this
republic. As this mantel has only
honored twenty-one different men
since the birth of our nation
Growers administration will live
long in the memory Of the people
and in history. First, because 1t
will be known as an era Of fnan-
cial distress and industrial stagna-
tion. Second, because he failed to
operate the government 50 as to
get revenue enough to run the
current expenses of our republic.
Third, because Of the inability of
his assistants and fellow-workers
to manage the government prop
erly. In many respects Mr.. Cleve-
land rose above party affiliations
and showed true manhood and pa
triotism for his country, Peace
be with you, and may you ever be
willing to give the assistance if
our country should need you

which are tho corner stone of our
civil liberties.

is Of no importance from a politi-
