GROVER CLEVELAND.

The endorsement Mr.. Cleveland
is receiving may astound the pol
iticians, but it does not astonish
the people Of the country. 1t
will be remembered that his NOM
ination in both 1884 and 1892 was
made in direct opposition to the
politicians, or, more properly
speaking, to that class of party
people who consider themselves
leaders" 1t is safe to say that
two thirds of the "ptominent'
men who attended the Chicago
convention in 1892 opposed his
nomination. They thought he
could not be elected. The people
thought otherwise.
Mr.. Cleveland went out Of Of
flee unpopular with a great mass
of the American people, and his
unpopularity was caused by the
very men who fought his third
nomination the hardest.
But there has been a change Of
sentiment since then. Men who
a few years ago cursed Cleveland
now reflect, ard their reflection
leads them to believe that they
cursed him without cause. They
remember that all the predictions
he made have come true. They
remember his magnificent cour-
age in the fight against the pro-
tected interests of the country,
the manner in which he upheld
the credit of the United States in
opposition to the frantic protests
of the so-called "leaders" of his
own party; his protest against
the surrender of party principle
10 the wild wave of populism,
and his defiance to that element
of his party which has for its un-
derlying principle nothing but
greed and gain. They remem-
Der, too, that in 1883 he sounded
a warning against the growing
power of the trusts, and pointed
out a purely revenue tariff as a
means of checking their growth.
When these things are consid-
cred it is not a matter of wonder
that the endorsement Of Mr..
Cleveland by the press and
country people astounds the pol
iticians. Fort Smith Elevator.

DAVIS WANTS MORE.

many communications from my
friends throughout the state
making inquiry as To my future
political course, and that the mat
ter may be defnately settled and
they may be put upon guard, |
make this public statement.
When | was renominated for gov
ernor last June, l had no thought
or intention of ever asking the
people of this state again for the
office of governor; my only am
bition and thought was to serve
them faithfully and we'll. Certain
great questions had arisen during
that campaign upon which the
Democracy of Arkansas spoke in
convention assembled, and which
| hoped would be forever settled
by the recent Legislature, whose
servants they were. | looked
forward with a great deal of
pleasure and with a great deal OF
hope that the will and wishes Of
the people would be carried out
by that body, but to my utter
amazemcnt and surprise, the will
of the people was stifled. They
asked for bread and were given a
stone. They asked for relief,
and were scoffed at, and the vials
of wrath of that body were turned
loose upon rae in the most unjust
and merciless warfare that has
ever been waged against a public
officer in this or any other state.
Charges involving my honor, the
good name of my mother and
father, my family, were preferred
against me without the slightest
pretext, and hurled broadcast
through the press of this nation.
My impeachment was sought for
high crimes and nlsdemeanors in
office, a price was placed upon
my official head, and a deep-laid, :,
well considered, far reaching
scheme was enyered into to ruin
me and drag my family down to
infamy and shame. Yet when
the legislature came to the crucial
test, they didn't have the man
hood or the courage to carry out
their iniquitous schemes, but
adopted a report referring the
whole matter to tho people.
Had they acquitted me before
that body | should not have asked
YOU for reelection to the office OF
governor, but since they have Sc
lected the people Of this state as
jury to try and determine this
issue, most willingly do leave it
to you and accept the challenge
and to you l shall come when the
proper time arrives with the facts,
and shall ask you to nominate
and elect me as your chief exec
utive, shall ask you to acquit me
of the vile charges that have been
hurled against HE. If | can but
call the Old guard together again,
and they will stand like Spartans
as they have always done, ! shall
not fear the result. Twice you
have borne me kindly and gently
in your arms over this crowd OF
caIumniators. To shrink from
their blade now would be cow
ardly and unmanly; to fawn be-
fore my traducers would be un-
just to myself and my friends
| would want my children to for
get my memory, and my body
buried in the rude rough sands
of the sea, to be ever forgotten
should be guilty of such cow
ardice,
Therefore, my friends, say to
you that ! am a candidate FOL
