TO Mr.. Cleveland.
Democracy "has returned TO sanity"
said Grover Cleveland recently, In an In
terview.
This statement, made with all the ssl-
emn ponderosity of which Mr.. Cleveland
Is BILE. would imply that the Demo
cratic party has been insane and its lead
CTS a set of lunatics. In previous inter
views Mr.. Cleveland contented himself
with merely saying that Democracy had
strayed from the right path after
strange gods" whsu It embraced Bryan
ism, but since the defeat Of the Bryan
faction At st. Louis he has been secretly
rejoicing over the apparent downfall Of
his most bitter political enemy. and on
Oct. 2. At Buxzard's Bay. he virtually
declared that Mr.. Bryan was q madman.
How do the friends Of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
Statss relish having their leader called
q lunatic? Insanity II lunacy, or mad
ness, and II the Democratic party has
returned to sanity" It must first have
been insane. and, by the same reasoning.
IL the party was Insane because Bryan
was its leader. Mr.. Bryan himself must
have been the chief lunatic.
Candidate Parker 10 generally admitted
" " uoneuuty In ms parry SOoi OF
Hill, Sheehan and others-and what he
says counts for little. but II is different
when Mr.. Cleveland talks. He II the
oracle Of the Eastern Democracy. and
II he says Bryan Is insane II II certain
he voices the sentiments Of "sase" Dem
ocracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such q
slandef on their leader by supporting
Parkerf Mr.. Cleveland declined to vote
for Bryan on the ground that the Ne
braskan was insane. but he win vote for
Parker. because he leads the "aane"
Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have been
forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Parker vot-
ed twice for the Nebraska '.lunatic'' and
was therefore one Of the host OF madmen
who composed ''insane" Democracy. Does
Mr.. Cleveland improve his position by
now supporting one of the madmen who
voted for the leader OF insane" Dem
ocracyf
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust ut Bryan was
uncalled for. and will, no doubt. be re-
scnted at the polls. for the friends of Mr..
Bryan do not think he should be put
In the straitjacket class.

Re. President Cleveland. r.,i.r..


Ex-President Cleveland is an unimae-
inntive man. and for this. and other good
reasons, his recent magazine article en-
titled why Young Man Should Vote
the Democratic Ticket" Is short, point
less and unconvincing.
II takes a good deal Of fervid fancy,
and a knack for invention, 10 construct
an argument upon a theme Hike that Mr..
Cleveland was evidently I'll at ease with
bis subject. Probably few young men
win read the article. anyway, and no one
will be Influenced by 1t.
The young men of America live In the
present, and hope for the future. They
do not care to be even holding post
mortems on dead issues. nor to spend
their days holding back the wheels Of ac-
tion and progress.
The young men Of the United States
are alive And they will vote the Repnb-
lican ticket this fall.
