Democratic Sentinel, Volume 16, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 8 April 1892 — CLEVELAND’S LETTER. [ARTICLE]
CLEVELAND’S LETTER.
The Indianapolis News, a prominent republican fpaper, refers to Mr. Cleveland’s recent letter to General Bragg, and which appeared in the Sentinel las* week, in the follow ing 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 hits for the enemies he has made"—Mr. Cleveland has written a letter in which he defines himself with regard to the presidency. It was such a definition as is to be eipected from him. It pats him in an attitude to be looked for from him. "I oan not bring myself,” he writes “to regard a candidacy for the place as something to be won by personal strife and aotive self-assertion. e He places him self as amenable to the obligations and duties of citizenship which he has inculcated upon all;as he puts it: “lhave beet, sincere in my constant advocacy of effective participation in political affairs on the part of all out 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 ip this place by the people. He Idoes not dose, however, without a warning to his foliow-Democrats that “this is a time for thoughtfulness and deliberation, not only is to candidates, but concerning party action upon questions of immenae intere* to tbe patriotic aud intelligent voters oi 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 Clemund aud his party alike unhampered; above all, leaves him his selfrespect unspotted, his dignity untouched, whether he be party’s candidate or not. It shows him to be greater than the office.
