A Master of Vituperative Rhetoric.

Chicago Journal. Mr. Cleveland is the best master of vituperative rhetoric that ever occupied the Presidency. His command of terms is limited, but they are .strong. His invective is coarse; repetition is freq uent; there is an evidence of labor and lack of skill in forming the sentences, but they come out like brick-bats thrown by a mob at a street-car with a “scab” driver. “Selfish greed,” “selfishness” “extorton,” •‘personal interests,” “grasping avarice,” “inordinately burdened,” “sordid disregard” of others, “selfish advantages,” beneficiaries of unjust discrimination,” etc., etc. In the eloquence of a chronic scold, the President has few equals and no superiors. To get rid of that “too much turkey” take one of Rinehart’s Pills: 1 a dose.
