Many wise people fear he is correct,
and that the foreseen change in the

longer; indeed that the sound OF the
footsteps Of the approaching man on
horseback can already be heard. But
true as this mag be, Mr.. Cleveland
should not be SO blinded by his selfish

lists, and carrying his followers with
him, he has done moro to bring about
the condition referred to than any other
