OF Wliat Mr. Cleveland Una Done to Deserve lie-Election by The People. The review of Ex-preMdent Otevel anil 'a record, presented below, it from the pen of Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, aud ap peared recently in The Forum mas azine. Mr. Adams was for many years a leading member of the re publican party in his state a fact which rendors hid opinions of Mr Cleveland ot peculiar value. Intelligent voters in Georgia, who are hesitating as to their choice ol a presidential candidate, will do well to read what Mr. Adams says. 9Ir. AdaiUN' Views. 'IIow is it that you, an original member of the republican party and an officer in the union army all through the war of the rebellion, are now a supporter of the presi dential candidate ot the democratic party?" This question has recent ly been put to me ; it is a lair question ; it comes from the respond sible sou ice, and it is put, not idly or cunousity, but because I am be jlieved to be one of a class, more or less numerous, aud it is assumed, correctly or otherwise, that the con siderations which have influenced those who feel and act much aa I feel and act. Though the voice ol almost no oue carries far amid the tumult of a presidential canvass, I propose to answer the question. What are the political Issues ot the impeuding canvass? Some of them are old, as old as the national government, aud likely long to con tinue ; others are uew aud of a passing character. These issues, new and old, uaay be enumerated somewhat as follows: 1. The economic and commercial system, commonly known as protective, based upon the idea that it is the business of the government artifi- cally to foster, or even call into ex-. istenoe various branches of indus try. 2. The purification and reform ot civil service. 3. What is known as the currency question, now takn iug the form of a demand lor the free coinage of silver at the nation al mint at an artificial rafio with gold. 4. The pension system. What is the attitude of Mr. Clever land so far as these issues aro con.-, corned ! He has been called udou officially to confront them all, and ou no occasion, so far as I know, has he tailed to make his position understood, or to give the party of which he was the nead a distinct, recognized aud creditable lead, He has not shuffled or vascillated; his voice, at least, has upon those issues oinmitted no uncortaiu Bound. In this respect the line of responsible public action he has persued has been in most agreeable contrast with that usually pursued by po!i titions, not only of the present, Vut of all time. The crying sin of cat tle ot the class, especially iu these days of many newspapers and much rapid communication, is their con staut endeavor to catch quickly and to reflest correctly the phases of public sentiment, und neither to think nor to speak for themselves Continually playing a game of pon lPical chtssand smali party tactics they ale v i cluuy of enunciating any po!ilb;d pr:i;cijdt-s by which they afe piepaied to stand m fall, uuh-ys such principles are lime honored political platitudes or or- Jtbodox paity abibbloJeth. Unt such has not been- the practice of Mr. Cleveland. In Inch public position he has stood foith a cleau-cut poN itical character a man with the courage of his convictions. Take his course ou Ihe question of civil st'ivice refoim, that oue ot the issues enumerated in regard to which his itcoid may seem to be most open to attack. Under the lead of Qrover Cleveland the dem ociatic party came back into power in 1885 after twenty-eight years of eyelusiou from it. It Is no exagge ration to say that those calling MR. LINCOLNTON, N. C, FRIDAY, themselves detnociats were then iaenous for spoils. No more se vere piesaufe lor a general turning out of officials aud new distribution of peaces was probably ever brought to bear upon the head of a govern ment than was brought to bear upon President Cleveland alter nis inauguration. I have not the fig ures before me nor do I care to look thtm up, but I think it will be found that the removals duting President Cleveland's administration were fewer in number and less dictated by partisan cr politcal considera lions than those of President Har rison, who succeeded him. Yes President Harrison represented a paity which, when Cleveland was inaugurated, had l oon in power for over a quarter of a century, filling every office in the gift ol the gov ernmont, aud many of these officials had held over, notwithstanding the change which took place in 1885. President UarriHOu also represented the party which claims to be, and which should be, essentially the party of civil service reform. Yet so far as the nse of the party power for political purposes is conce-rned, the administration of Grover Cleveland will have little to fear from a comparison of its record with that of Be nj a mine Harrison. It may well be that in this matter there is little to choose as between the politicians of the two great par ties ; but in view ot the record, it cannot but be conceeded that Mr, Mr. Cleveland, in the tiying position to which ho was placed, acquitted himself as creditably as any man could have been expected lo do. Upon the issues of a reformed civil servie.e he shotted himself as much in advance of both parties as it was wise or prudent tor the recognized leader of one of those parties to be. He may not have been probably he was not on the skirmish line ; I ut then a general in command is not, iu his proper place on the skir rnish line ; but then a general in command is not in his proper place on the skirmish line. On the rext issue, that ot pro tectionist, or otherwise, he must still admit that President. Cleve land's course was most creditable to him. Indeed, it may well be questioned whether anv president, the dealing with an important question of public policy, ever acted from higher or more disinterested motives than did Cleveland when he took tbe course ho did in bis annual message of 18S7. Pefoie that message was sent in, it was generally conceded that all the president had to do to secure a re-election was silently to abide the time. The course ot events and the drift of publfc opinion were in his favor. The terrible results his op portents had so confidently predicted from a return of the democratic party to power had not come about. 1'ho country was at peace and very prosperous; the touth was pacified and loyal ; the treasury was over flowing. AH things indicated pop ular confidence in the administra tion and unwillingness to disturb it nevertheless, when President Clevei land, after the most thorough and careful investigation he could make, had convinced himself that the tar iff system needed modification, he did not hesitate to cast ail further ulterior considerations aside and boldly to indicate his opinion. It is no sort of consequence whether his so doing was "good politics,'' as it is called, or "bad politics ;'' it. is na sort of consequence of paity strate gy, it was a success or a failure ; it is no sort of consequence whether by doing as he then did President Cleveland nbowed skill as a politi cal leader, or committed a serious political blunder, his course none j the less showed character ami cour age; and the Angle-Saxon race has always evinced a proclivity for a man of character aud courage. It was the same with the question ot silver coinage. That issue was and is unmistakably before ihej country and has got to be fought I out. It was necessary for ExPres- j ident Cleveland, as he then was, to! express iu February la9t any opiu ion upon it. It was perfectly with in hi power, by preserving a dis creet silent, to bold himsel in posi NOV. 4, 1892. tion where those in favor of a free coiuage of silver and those who were opposed to it could equally lend him their support. He might have dodged the issue. Neverthe less, here again the courage aud character of the man acserted them selves. His letter of February 10, 1891, to the Cooper Union meeting was, as I look upon it, under all circumstances of the case oue of tho most creditable utterances that ever came Irom an American public char acter. He did uot want to have his position misunderstood. He did not want to have his position mis understood. He did not propose to stand before the country iu any falwe or uncertain attitude. So, again, his voice, when heard, emit ted no uncertain sound. Finally, the question of pension. On this subject 1 speak with some degree ot f eling, because, having served through neaily four years ol the civil war, J, in com men with many others who did the same, feel a sense of humiliation I may al most say of the degradation in seeing the uniform we once wore turned into a mendicant' jL-aib. and ami the garb of a very impudent and persistent mendicant at that. Under the administration which preceded that of Cleveland the pen sion legislation had, as we tt ought, been already carrb d to exces.'dve length. Grant and Garfield, we knew, were of the siioe opinion. Under it every men who had any reasonable claim to public consider ation had received recognitions, or tho way to recognition was open to him. My own experience, I pre .-unie and, indeed, I know had in a small way been that of nearly every one else who was in immedi ate command of men during the rebellion. We had seen every dead beat and maligner, every hnmmen bounty-jumper and suspected de serter we had ever known or heard of rush to the front as the greedy claimant ol public bounty. If there was any man whose army record had been otherwise than er ditable to him, we soon heard of him as the claimant of a back pension of many hundred dollars or as being in the regular leeeipt ot itis monthly sti pend. On the other hand, those good and faithful soldiers, who, in the day of trial, had been found in the front, rank in presence of the enem. those men had, since the flags were furled away, developed, as a rule, the same characteristics as citizens which had distinguished them as soldiers; self-respecting and self-sustaining, they were re luctant to trade on the patriotism ot I heir younger and better days as on a beggar's chum. They had supported the brute of battle then, and they were able to support them selves now. Thus there were of us those who felt that wretched largest business, this trailing of political hucksters on patriotic self-sacrifice, hud gone qude far enough. We therefore felt a keen sense of rebel when, in February, 1887, President Cleveland sent in his veto of that dependent pension bill, which put. a piemium on sell-abasement and pre jury. Such being the cae, those who feel as I feel, caring far more for country than for faction tor things than for names see in Mr. Cleve land a man both true and tried, a political leader far in advance of his convictions, a statomau whose views on every political issue are definite and well known, a pos-ible president, who if eleeted can have no ulterior politie.il ends in view, for he cannot be a candidate to succeed himself. Opposed to Mr. Cleveland. we see the partisan candidate of a political party the recent record of which has nor served to fill us with admiration. Cur pride and patriot ism ro not stirred at the mention of the diplomatic victories achieved by its disgraceful Cbillian fiasco; nor does its policy of taxation every human being in the country iu tbe name of protection in order to ca'l into existence an industry in tin plates commend itself to our busi ness judgment, any more than the ptoposition that a uaiural and econ omical desire to buy "a eh-ap eoat" indicates "a cheap mau while, moreover, we look with absolute (and unspeakable disgusf, uot uiit mixed with alarm, upon the noisy crowd of thieves and mendicants who, under the lead of aa aggres. sive, well-organized staff of pen siou agents, constitu e the a:knowl- edged camp followiug ot the latter day republican organization, and, as such, badet the doors ot the treas ary.
