Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 11, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 April 1892 — CLEVELAND’S LETTER. [ARTICLE]
CLEVELAND’S LETTER.
The Indianapolis News, a prominent republican 'paper, refers to Mr. Cleveland’s recent letter to General Bragg > and whioh appeared in the Sentinel last week, in the following truthful and complimentary style: “In answer to a suggestion of General Bragg’s, of Wisconsin—the man who made the famous phrase concerning Cleveland, “We love him for the enemies he has made”—Mr. Cleveland has written a letter in which he defines himselt with regard to the presidency. It was such a definition as is to be expected from him. It puts him in an attitude to be looked for from him. ”1 can not bring myself,” he writes, “to regard a candidacy for the place as something to be won by personal strife and active self-assertion." He places himself as amenable to the obligations and duties of citizenship which he has inculcated upon all; as he puts it; “I have been sincere in my constant advocacy of effective participation in political affairs on the part of all onr citizens.” Recognizing this, recognizing that “the Presidency is pre-eminently the people’s office,” he simply rests himself as one of the people to be called upon to this place by the people. He Idoes not close, however, without a warning to his fellow-Demooi ats that “this is a time for thoughtfulness amt deliberation, not only as to candidates, but concerning party action upon questions of immense interest to the patriotic and intelligent voters of the land, who watch tor an assurance of safety as the price of their confidence and support.” A letter in better taste could hardly be written. It leaves Mr Cleveland and his party alike unhampered; above all, leaves him his selfrespect unspotted, his dignity untouched, whether he be hiß party’s candidate or not. It shows him to be greater than the office.”
