Mr.. Sutton's adverse criticism is
unique, not to say humorous, in an
infinite variety of ways. l regret to
say that it hardly merits serious re-
ply except as it might mislead many
who did not read the article that he
undertakes to criticize.

an individual president or an indi-
vidual governor may or may not have
done in an individual instance has no
more to do with general party ten
denotes than the individual act of a
Socialist has to do with the tenden-
cies of Socialism. The statement
that Mr.. Cleveland gave away half of
the land Of the country does not re-
quire any answer, but it may be
worth while remarking that during
his first administration he recovered
into the public domain nearly one
hundred million acres of land from
corporations to whom it had been
given by previous Republican admin
istrations. Republicans themselves
not only did not deny this at the time
nor have they since-but in their
national platform at the close of Mr..
Cleveland's first term they somewhat
reduced the stated amount of land
that had been reclaimed and asked
credit for participation in the recov-
cry.

a state of thorough and complete de-
mise. The statement of Mr.. Sutton
Is another of those needless utter
ances which go with criticism for crit
icism's sake. No party in the history
of the country has ever raised the
free trade issue or referred to It in
any platform at any time. Upon the
other hand, however, the free trade

But before I had time to execute the
intended insult the strange individual
