can again later.
Il voted for Cleveland the first time
in 1884" said Stewart. thousands of
Republicans turned to Cleveland at
that time, joining the revolt against
Blaine. and the result was the election
Of Cleveland. l followed him on the
tariff issue
Il have never denied chat I have al
ways been a mugwump. l do not see
exactly what is the point of the attack
on me this morning. 1t is an effort to
destroy any political influence I may
have, or may get, in the community
/ suppose because that influence would
not be used for the benefit of the Adj
vcrtiser. but it isn't my fault that it
wouldn't.
