Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 30, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 April 1885 — Cleveland’s Lack of Democracy. [ARTICLE]

Cleveland’s Lack of Democracy.

Cleveland is going around with the wrong trade mark on his back. He has always been in favor of honest money and opposed to fiat money. He was in favor of every movement looking to the prosecution of the war. He hasn’t breathed a Democratic breath since be was born. Some one has branded him a Democrat, and he thinks he is a Democrat I think he will be a disappointment to every unpatriotic Democrat He is thoroughly honest, and so far as he can control his party his adminisira'ion will not seriously interfere with the business interests of the country; bnt he can’t control the party. He will lose caste with his own party, not because the Democrats are unpatriotic. but because they are in a hurry to get the offices. I think he will be in trouble in about a year, and only the Republicans will be in favor of him and his administration.—Emery A. Storrs. Mr. George William Curtis is reported as speaking very cautiously about Mr. Manning’s appointment as Secretary of the Treasury. He says: “It is well to wait and see. I have not liked Mr. Manning's political methods.” It will be as well to s wait and see” what the mugwumps will do. A great many people who have not liked Mr. Manning’s political methods will become reconciled to them within the next four years—or he will know the reason why.
