These appointments show how true
MIR. Cleveland has been 70 the South. |
and how greatly he honorcd that sec. |
ton in the choice of his Cabinet ad- |
vlsers and in the selection of diplo-
matte representatives of the United
States in foreign countries. In ad-
dltion, Southern men were appointed
to responsible positions in every de-
partment ofthe Government at Wash
'ngton and were gwen many con-
snlates. and when Mr.. Cleveland had
nm opportunity to fila VACANCY in
the Supreme Court of the United
States his choice fell upon one of the
most distinguished Southern men,
the Hon. l.. @. G. Lamar, of Missis-
Sippi. In view of these facts, the
people OF the South should ultimately
be able to estimate Mt their true value
the utterances Of those disgruntled
and sclfsccking politicians who spend
their time in villifying Mr.. Cleveland
and minimizing the extent of his
o.valty to the party and to the South
ern people. His record speaks with
convincing eloquence Of his liberal
treatment of the Democrats Of the
South, and the facts are lncontestable.
Mr.. Cleveland never betrayed
trust of any kind. He has been true
70 every section of the country; he
gave to tho South the recognition
which had so long been withh~'.'"
/. IL IL, ..~.u from
I ..u more than any other man
OF his generation to destroy section
'I'sm and to reunite the country.
Tie would not advocate fiat money
because It il contrary to Democratic
ioctrlne and precedent, and because
would have been an incxpressible
calamity to the South as we'll as to
very other section of the country.
n the years to come, when the South
eallzes the dangers it escaped in the
lefeat of free silver, it will recognize
ne patriotism Of Mr.. Clevela and |
VII glory in the courage and devotion
o principles which led him to take
Ssue with his party. Then
hose who find congenial employment
low in abusing him vi, mold their
ongues ter shame.-Baltimore Sun.
