The Inconsistency and fickle-mlnd-
ness of the average citizen in politi-
,.,l matters il n matter Of wonder IN
many matters. In 1898. when Pres
hl-ut Cleveland made hissbond issue,
to relieve the money stringency
brought about by the rohber tar'i'
and other infamous Republican lrgls-
Iotiun. he was villified from one end
e the land tn the other as thie'
and n scoundrel--n great many mis-
Guided Democrats joining in the hue
and cry. Even to this day we see
and hear silly expressions OF TINS ma
tnre when the truth is, history has
vindicated MIR. Cleveland, and his aci
stands as one of right and justice to
the great bulk Of the toiling masses.
His nction afforded infinite relief at a
critical time.
In 1907, President Roosevelt dupl'

Albany. May 2o-Fourteen local charter bills have

fore passage, TO meet the views which he has de-
cared as matters Of policy to the legislators inter

that Of the scores of recalled by concur

partment, or amended 10 meet known views of the
Governor, an unpreoedentedly large proportion is
made up OF local charters and charter amend
ments.
TIE legislators who have thus forestalled veto
by taking hint from the executive say that two
propositions connected with municipal ad1nnistra
ton are involved, and that upon both the Governor
is ineIorable
Those who have been affected by this executive
policy say that the Governor viii not sign bills in
which the Legislature sxes salaries or which con-
tain provision eXerapting municipalities from

served on the city officials of the defective cond-
