THE GREAT DEED IS DOXE.
With one stroke of bis pen Mr.
Cleveland has disrupted the demo
cratic party. His veto of the
seigniorage bill was not unexpected,

man Waite is the biggest fool in
the state except the fellows Who
are egging him on. With one big
fool on one side and a lot of bigger
fools on tlie other, the signs arc
encouraging for some bloodspilling.
Ex.
Coxey's commanders made a hit
in Pennsylvania, and, as thev sav
is no expectation that the bill will !
pass over the president's veto, and
it probably puts an end to all silver
legislation during the term of this
congress. But it will not put an
end to silver agitation throughout
the country; it will only stimulate
it. "
The reasons assigned for the veto
are dishonest, absolutely dishonest.
Mr. Cleveland is not such a mut-ton-head
chump as to believe that
there ib a rapid improvement in i
"our financial conditions. He knows, i
as every one knows, that there is
ies of ovations. Down in the heart?
oi me people mere is a spark oi
sympathy for these poor stragglers,
without a home and almost with
out a couiifor. If thev are crankn
they are also human beings with
immortal bouIs who have aspira
tions for better things. It make
an old-time democrat sore at heart
to think that a so-called democratic
administration is responsible for
this Btate of affairs.

There wasn't much in the seign

The effect of the yeto will be dis
astrous to the democratic party,
for it well nigh assures the defeat

this congress adjourns without

will be a long farewell to democratic

constituted himself the censor ofi

veto Bays to the democratic major
