The Cleveland Bugaboo.
Colonel Watterson as guardian of the
star-eyed goddess of reform, has sound-
ed the key note of alarm to halt the re~
nomination of Cleveland for Presidency
in 1900. He and many lesser lights as-
sumed that the great banquet given by
the New York Rsfum club, at which
I Cleveland was the prominent guest and
speaker, was the initiative movement
to make him candidate for next Presi-
' - dent, but all such assumptions are en-
,_ tirely at variance with the truth, says
the Philadelphia Times. Had Grover
Cleveland died the day after he retired
from the Presidency, the same banquet
would have been given, chiefly the
same r: on would have delivered sub-
stantially the same speeches, and all
Would have been done, as it was done,
as Saturday evening last, without ref-
erence to the interest of any Presiden-
tial candidate. '
"Show is little likelihood that Mr.
Cleveland will be a candidate for Pres-
ident t. 1900, and certainly if he shall
become a candidate it will not be by
reason of any such movement as the
Reform Club banquet. He cannot be
made a candidate by any organiz:d
sflort of his friends. Only conditions
such as are most unlikely to occur,
could make him considered as a candi-
date, and that he is seeking to give him-
self-prominence as a candidate, will not
be believed by any who have knowl-
edge of Mr. Cleveland’s purposes and
methods. What he said at the banquet
lie would have said whether he intend-
edtot-m a candidate or resolutely in»
Kinda] not to be a candidate, and the
oceasion had no more to do with the
candidacy of Cleveland,~cr of any other
man than it had to do with the future
policy of Greece or Turkey.
fliers was significance in the expres-
sions at the New York Reform banquet
because of the unity of sentiment ex-
pressed by Democrats representing the
great mass of the million Democrats of
the country who separated themsolves
.lrom the Democratic national organiza
tion When it turned upon its own record
anddeclared in favor of cheap money and
repudiation. It was an occasion to
give ex, t. “ion of fidelity to these con-
victions, and it was an eminently preper
occasion to criticise the forgetfulness
of the McKinley administration of its
highest and first duty to avoid estrange- )
‘meirl from an intelligent and patriotic
element that had glven it success. It
was not expected by the Democrats
that McKinley would be anything else
than a protectionist, but it was expected
of him and his party that they would
not attempt to out-Herod Herod by en-
acting the most oppressive monopoly
taril‘ftaxel ever known in the history
of the government in time of peace.
These reasons, and these alone,
called the great banquet at New Yorkl
on Saturday evening, and it was no
. more for the promotion of Mr. Cleve-
land to the Presidency than it was for
the promotion of Colonel Watteison’s
candidacy. There was not an utter-
once made'by Mr. Cleveland or by any
one of the sneakers that Colonel Wat-
terson would not have uttered himself
if speaking on the same subject, and it
. is most unjust to those who participated
on that occasion to assume that they -
thought of helping or hindering any
Presidential candidate. It is simply a
' Cleveland bugaboo and seems to have
been invented by Colonel Watterson to
lrighten himself.

Au IMPORTANT QUERY.”
Our Readers Are Face to Face With an
_ Unavoidable Quesiton.
When tl-e great Hume, the free-
thinker, Was asked by a lady at Bath,
Eng., whom would he depend upon the ’
more, servaints who conscientiously be-
lieved in the truths of eternal revela-
tion, or those who professed to hold his
own opinions, he frankly answered the
former. .
When our readers are asked whose
statements can be depended upon the
more, scores of our citizens ’or one or
two desultory selections picked at hap
answer must frankly be, Norwalk
people every time. The only state-
menta thatappear at the foot of any
proprietary medicme advertisements ‘in
Norwalk papers, obtained from a pure-
ly local source, are those appended to
the reading notices published by Doan’s
Kidney Pills. 'Ihe inference is too ap-
parent to waste time mentioning it.
