Mr. Cleveland’s Insults.

Columbus Republican, In vetoing one bill where the man claimed to have been ruptured, by being thrown forward upon the horn of a eavalry saddle, he sneeringly said “it is singular how many men were raptured by being thrown up jn the horns of their saddles,” thus insulting every one of the hundreds who justly claim to have been injured in this manner. The men who were in the army who participated in the long night marches and raids over rough roads, or in the carnage of battle, are not surprised that so many injuries of this kind occurred, and they cb not care to be insulted about it, either, even by the President of the United States, who was himself a young and robust man at that time, but, instead of risking the dangers of cavalry saddle, preferred to spend the time guzzling wine and whiskey and carousing with lewd women.
