Cleveland, in his "harmony" speech

the restoration to perfect health Of
that democracy whose mission is to
bless the people. He is the old quack
of a doctor who gave democracy an
over dose of the g~old-cure, and pois-
oned it. We have always wondered
how much the old traitor got for
selling out his party.
