DOWN WITH CLEVELAND AND HIS
COHORTS.
A meeting of prominent democrats was
held one evening last week at the Tilden
Democratic Club in New York City for the
purpose of discussing matters pertaining to
the good of the party. At this meeting Mr.
Cleveland who has twice been elected presi
dent of the United States, and David B. Hill
were both invited to deliver addresses. Mr.
Bryan was invited, it seems, to attend the
meeting, but as he was nQt extended the same
privileges as Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill he
consequently spurned the invitation with
silent contempt. Mr. Bryan was perfectly
right in so doing although a few thick head
ed news papers in the South, which claim
to be democratic, cannot reason it out that
way.
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hill might as
well try to stem the tide of progress as to try
to frame a platform suitable for the year
1904, without consulting the leader of the
Democratic party, Williams Jennings Bryan.
Come what may and say what they will
bhe democratic chieftain who has twice been
made the nominee of his party by six millions
pf democrats will be the central figure again
4u the next nominating convention. He can
pot be crushed nor subdued but will always
stand as the champion and the staunch advo
pate of the common interest and the untram
>neled rights of his people. It has been many
a day since an American citizen has entered
the arena of politics who is as patriotic and
ter ia as unsullied as W. J. Bryan. He may
pe wrong in some things but an opinion ex
reseed by him is a deep rooted conviction.
No single instance can be pointed to in which
any action of hie has been prompted by self
ish motives. He stands to-day the accepted
defender of the peoples liberties the avowed
enemy of trusts and monopolies, and the foe
to that party which has allowed the flag of
our country to be stained with the blood of
an Innocent, defenseless, liberty striving peo.
ple. He is the embodiment of the best, pur.
est and noblest traits found in an American
citizen.
Mr. Cleveland on the other hand is at
present moving the heavens and earth to af
feet a reorganization of the Democratic pairty
when it has never been disorganized. It is
true that David B. Hill bolted the Democra
tic Convention when Mr. Bryan was nomina
ted for president, and it is also true that
Grover Clevelan4 refused to say one word
in behalf of the flmocratic candidates dur.
ing the last contest, but the fact that these
men lent their influence to the Republican
party in the last campaign did not disorga
nize the party in the least. The only trouble
with the party now is that it should purge
itself of those men who are of the same cali.
lyer as Mr. Cleveland and then the party
would be absolutely harmonious in thought
and action. But no the plan is to have (Gro
ver Cleveland write the next Democratic plat
form on which condition he will give his ac
tice support to the party. We do not care to
see Mr. Cleveland have anything whatever to
do with the Democratic party. We certainly
do not consider him a democrat and he denies
that he ia a republican so he must be nothing
and d-m little at that. No man whose char.
acter is founded on the impregnable pillars
of honor, truth and sincerety would repu.
(Hate his word after it had been given in
good faith. No man it matters not how un
governable his ambition would be guilty of
betraying a people as Grover Cleveland did,
unless he be a man of no sense of right and
justice nor possessed with ojie particle of
principle ox- one iota of faith. The most
pontemptible creature oi earth is an ungrate
ful wretch and we know of no object to'
yhich Mr. Cleveland can be better compared.
What appreciation has this man ,ahown to
the party which elevated him oth two differ.
Vnt occasions to the highest and mtst exalted
position within the gifthi of a peopl)e? In
what manler has he manuifested his grateful
n4e to the party which at one time saw fit to
haver him ranked among the presidents of
this great republic?
He has shown his party no appreciation
- for what it did for him, he has returned no
thanks and he has manifested no spirit of
- gratitude, but what he did do was to repu
- diate the Chicago platform upon which he
was elected thereby betraying the trust and
- confidence which had been reposed in him by
- millions of good citizens of his country. Mr.
h Cleveland without exception is guilty of the
most shameful act of political treachery on
e record since the birth of the American re
public. His attitude toward the party in the
last campaign was sufficient proof to any
3 fair minded man that he was not in favor of
seeing the nominees of the Democratic party
elected.' He time and again in interviews
a throughout the last presidential fight de
nounced Bryan in unmeasured terms and
absolutely refused to say whether he would
vote the Democratic ticket or not. This man
to-day is trying to force himself upon the
party which not so long ago he was instru'
1 mental in having defeated. Our advice to
the Democratic party is to keep such men as
Cleveland out of its ranks as well as some of
his bolting democratic gold bug cohorts.
We would rather see the party go down
in ignominious defeat at every election than
to see it successful with a platform dictated
by Cleveland and his coterie of dissatisfied
and bolting democrats.
It is absolutely ridiculous to ever hope to
see men who belong to the Cleveland tribe
of mugwumps harmonize with the Democratic
party as it stands to-day with that matchless
and brilliant Statesman William J. Bryan as
its leader.
I THE PETTY ACT OF THE PRESIDENT.
I
1 Miss Rebecca J. Taylor, a clerk in the war
! department at Washington, has been dischar
- ged because she exercised her right as a free
a American to express an opinion on the Philip
pine question. Miss Taylor is a bright young
lady and when not at work in the department
i she wrote interesting letters to the Post and
1 other Washington papers. In these letters
r aýMritlnnAlA *hk aiuohin. a i1 tkx PkUap
p pines and thereby gave offence to Secretary
- Root and to his majesty, Theodore, the
Strenuous. These distinguished officials des
cended from their dazzling eminence to wade
I in the mire of ward politics and issued their
1 dictum which meant the peremptory dis
a charge of the poor girl, who had made the
f mistake of believing that she was living in a
Republic which guaranteed the inalienable
.right of free speech to the humblest citizen.
1Miss Taylor protested, but she lost her
position and made way for a more subservient
minion of the federal administration.
rThere is a pitiable littleness in all this
a which one would not expect to see displayed
by the man who occupies the highest position
- of trust and honor in the United States.
Of course, the president and Secretary
Root attempt to shield themselves behind the
Scivil service law, but they have repeatedly
Sshown such a supreme contempt for the merit
system that nobody believes them.
A conspicuous feature of Mr. Roosevelt's
administration has been a determination to
muzzle all who can be subdued by the ofikial
halter or the party lash. Otfice-hiolders may
yell themselves hoarse provided tile yelling is
-done for Roosevelt. but the mildest whisper
,against the administration means political
ostracism from the char-med circles at Wash
ington.
It is safe to say that the (lismlissal of
Miss Taylor will deter all government em
ployees from expressing any opinions inimi
cal to the interests of King Theodore. Most
of these people depend .upon their paltry
earnings for a livelihood and the fear of los.
ing their positions will cause them to surren
der their honest convictions.
It is conceded that President Roosevelt
has committed more errors during his short
teioure of the presidential office than have all
his predecessors from Washington to McKin
Iey, but in our humble opinion his discharge,
of Miss Taylor is the tneanest thing that he
has done. -Lafayette Gazette.
