Cleveland on the Campaign's Issues.

Ex-Bresident Cleveland expressed his views about national politics. “All evidence,” said the ex-President, “of what the people want and what they expect of the party would seem clearly to indicate that the tariff reform must be the issue if we are to go into a winning fight. My idea has been that a general bill would be the best method, but I am willing to defer to those who are on the ground and have the battle in Congress-to fight. I hope the Springer free-wool bill will pass, and am also in favor of any other measures which will lighten the burden of taxation now resting on the people. In fact I favor any measure in the direction of genuine tariff reform. As to the prospects of the Democratic party’s ultimate success, I have but one opinion. If the party is true to itself, true to its principles and fulfills its pledges to the people, it cannot fail." As a rule, men who think a great deal do not think much of each other.
