Precept And Practice.

The Dunham (n. c. ) Glohc is foe Cleveland with a resomjding whoopee funl a relx-] il, as follows: ‘ ‘The pension fraud jis the GREATEST OF THE AGE AND CIEVELAND STRUCK THE BEGGARS IN THE face. He should be GIVEN A CHANCE TO HIT ’EM AGAIN.” Our reciprocity arrangement with Cuba went into effect September 1,1891. “Since January 1, 1892”( four monthßlater) writes one authority, “American breads fuffs have as completely driven Spanish flour from the Cuban market as if the latter product had been boycotted throughout the island.”. This ie the result pf what the Democratic platform terms “sham reciprocity!”

The crime of ITT Clay King, the Memphis, Tenii., murderer “Whose; sentence of death was commuted to imprisonment for life, seems to have been so wholly without excuse or palliation that the public sentiment even of the Southern Staiei bverwhel mfng demanded that his sentence should be carried out But Governor Buchanan is is evidently unwilling to be responsible for so radical a departure as that a Southern white “gentleman” should be hanged. So fortified with a petition for clemency from Grover Cleveland, he has commuted the sentence to imprisonment for life. This Grover Cleveland, maudlinly sentimental over the case of a brutal and inexcusable murder, is the same who vetoed pension bills of maimed and disabled Union soldiers and made jokes and coarse allusions about them in his official correspondence.
