CLEVELAND’S LETTER.
Ths Indianapolis News, a prominent republican .paper, refers .o Mr. sieveland’s recent letter to General Bragg, and A .oh 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 enemiea 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 bo looked for from him. "I can not bring myself,” he writes, “tq 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 effect, ive participation in political affairs on the part of all our citizens.” liecognizing 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 (does not close, however, without a warning to his fellow-Demoorats that “this is a time for thoughtfulness and 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 lor 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, hie dignity untouched, whether he be his party’s candid deornot. It shows him to be greater than the office." Man is often deceived in the age of. a v Oman by her gray hair. Ldi s, on can appear young and prevent this grayness by using Hall’s Hair Renewer.
