HE STOOD IN THe EVIL DAY.

By the folly of both great parties
the country had been led into a finan
cal qusgmire. The task fell to Grover
Cleveland to find a plank which might
save it from sinking. Deserted. be
trayed, hampered in every way by his
own party, ne found the plank and
averted the disaster. The nation g
credit was saved because it found in
its need strong man whom nothing
could terrify from doing his best-a
man who would stand in the evil day,
and having done all, would still stand
Grover Cleveland did stand. He
fought 10 the end. And he won. And
when his critics are but shadow on
the pages of history his fame will abide
secure.-ChicagO Inter Ocean.
1t must be source of deep chagrin
to the Republican party that the glory
of placing the country on gold basis,
that is of saving it from absolute des-
tructiOn and ruin is constantly being
taken from them and turned over to
Mr.. Cleveland. The Washington Post
has for some time sounded with tan
talizing frequency this fact. Other
papers have been more or less FREQ uent
also IN presenting this fact pleasant
or unpleasant to the dominant party.
Now comes the Chicago Inter Ocean
and brays right in their ears remind
er which at this of all times that party
would like to squelch. 1t must be re-
called that for about thirty years that
party had been IN almost absolute
sway. Only once had their hold on
the government been broken IN all
that time, and that was by Mr.. Cleve.
land, this Saviour of the nation. It
ought to DE recalled In this connec-
ton too that even Mr.. Cleveland
whose omnicience is said to reach the
supernatural had not be thought him
to thus save the country until his
second term, and then late in the
term, whilst such thing had never
dawned On the Republican party at
all. 1t should be recalled also that
this is the only time the country has
been saved since '6l. Yet in all that
time the destroyer was at hand. For
this mastery stroke of craftsmanship
to have been evolved by a man the
country has honored by calling him a
Democrat, and who has been hOnored
by that party, by placing him in a
position to do so much good is surely
a blow in the very face of the party
from which wisdom alone has hereto
fore flowed. But we hear that in do
ing this Mr.. Cleveland left his party,
went over to the Republicans, and
thus it was really Republican vic
tory and accomplishment after all.
This is logical we suppose, it is GER
tainly true that Cleveland did lose his
party in this effort, so that the only
difference possibly that exists is
whether 1t was Republican or a
Democratic measure. For one we are
willing to give the Republicans the
credit whether 1t came by accident,
design or purchase. We would not
for the world deprive them of Mr..
Cleveland or any one of his acts,
especially an act which has never vet
been accomplished except in the mind
OF persons who wilfully and malicious.
~ pervert the facts.
