THAT SMILE

lQouJ Ol6Nelduu Is bOIu ludO ndIy
people desire him to run again
for the presidency HE bushes
like maiden when she is re-
minded of her lovers alteration. F"
He smiles-Oh! what a smile.
He has become proficient in that
art. He has so often smiled at
his success in deceiving and be-
traying the American people and
damning the party that he claim
ed to hold as dear to him as life.
Accident brought him into noto-
riety. The personal jar of Conk-
lin and Grant against Blaine gave
him a prominence so far above
his merits that he blushed. He
smiled. All! Yes-He smiled
again when he received the nom
ination for the presidency on a
platform that denounced the
Republican party for having
demonetized silver; because he
knew that he was going to do all
in his power, if elected, to keep
it destroyed as far as possible.
Judas smiled when he kissed
Jesus for he knew that pretence
would cause his crucifixion.
That resulted in the death of one.
Cleveland's betrayal of his party
and the American world has
caused untold millions to mourn
and the death of more people
than he can ever atone for if he
were to live thousand years in
active service on that mission,
but Cleveland smiles when
he does a wrong, if he only, with
his friends, makes a financial
gain. He smiled when he made
a private deal in the government
bonds. He will never be able to
convince the citizens of the Unit
ed States that he was not in the
plot to make that issue necessary
or that he did share in the plum
der of that wicked transaction
He smiles again, when, after
being defeated in his designs to
nominate an undemocratic ticket
in the democratic convention of
1896. He and his treacherous
companions organized to vote the
republican ticket direct, and to
persuade others to do SO, who
had formerly been democrats.
Then through their bogus demo-
cratic organization obtained all
the democratic votes that were
tinctured with his Clevelandic
poison that it was possible to OBJ
tain for this Judas organization
who refused to vote for anything
that was labelled republican.
Then his satanic smile was sweet
er than ever For his and his
friends boast: That this will be
good--if you do not conclude to
vote the republican ticket. Oh,
what democrat And, yet, he
smiles at the thought of another
chance to betray his party and
his country. If he could be chos-
en- again, he might be able to
make as much as he did out of
his smiling bond deal. But there
is not the least danger of his
nomination, and a thousand times
less of his election. The grand
est patriots of America-of the
world-such as Washington, JEFF
lerson, Monroe, Madison and
jackson, all have established, by
patriotic example, a common law
principle, in America, that there
should be no approach to a King
in our government, indicated by
third term for Presidency. Mr.,
Cleveland could now, by his sue
cessful nomination and election,
prove as plainly his traitorism
to his country as he has, on for
mer occasions, to the democracy
Again in 1900, he smiled in beins
able to do what he could to des
troy the democracy. Ia anC
now he is posing as moralist
When nominated for his acciden
tai term he approved of a on'
term Presidency; and now lik,
all his other displays, be smile
at the thought-of the hope ever
