Campignon!"
"Dunbarl"
Both men spoke simultaneously.
Yes, it was injieed Campignon, though
Arthur might have been excused from
recognizing him in his present state of
squalor, his only costume a straw hat |
and a sleeveless tunic There was ;
hardly a spot on his body that was not j
discolored from a blow or a scratch of a i
.thorn, but his eyes blazed with a fierce- |
ness which showed the fury that was !
raging in his breast There was some
thing tragic in his manner as ho said,
pointing to his weals and cuts:
"That fiend, Archer, shall pay dearly
for this!"
"Archer!*"
**Yes. But remember I am a fugitive,
AU that I ask is that yon will give me ,
arms to defend or avenge myself: quick, j
there is not a moment to he lost"
Arthur glanced at the baronet lie ,
had relapsed into his former air of lan- j
guid indifference, not even looking at J
the strange scene being enacted in bis
presence.
Dunbar was olweys quick to action.
"Follow me to my chamber,be said,
**the last place they will ever think of
looking for you.'*
In the retirement of the room which
Arthur occupied, which was by a good
chance at the very back of the long,
low bungalow, separated from the main

body trf the building by a pass?e* be
exhausted man briefly told his adven
tures.
"I was on guard at our camp in the
wood when you missed mo," be said, as
be threw himself into Duubar's bed.
"And doubtless my absence caused yon
much surprise and anxiety. Well, it
all came about in this way. Just before
dawn, I heard voices in the distance,
and, calling the dog to my side, I set
forth to discover the cavse of this un
usual occurrence. I bad not gone far,
when I came across a br nd of Cingalese,
headed by a European, making straight
for the camp, where you and the coolies
were asleep, I knew it was use?eos to
try and escape them, but I thought 1
might by >be sacrifice of my own liberty
afford yon a chance to escape.
Duubar's eyes were moist with tears,
as he grasped the gallant Frenchman^
hand,
"So to cell their attention to mo,"
Campignon continued, **I fired a re
volver and made a dash for the woods,
crying aloud, as though urging others
to flight My ruse succeeded. In a min
ute they were in hot pursuit; but I led
them a long dance before I finally fell
into their clutches."
"How brave! How genewoe!** was
all Dunbar could say.
"By Archer's orders I was carried to
the village, and after undergoing indig
nities I will not shook your ears by re
citing, I found myself doomed to a fate
unendurable if it were not that the
hope of escape glimmered in my brain
?a paddler in one of *:>e great war
canoes in which my brutal captors
make their expeditions of piracy. V?'e
had juct returned from a marauding
excursion to a peaceful village forty
miles up the river, when the blessed
chance 1 hod so often dreamed of came.
Sickened with the seci?es of rapine ai?d
bloodshed I hail witnessed, crazed with
my own sufferings, I was desperate,
ontl the headman was a fool to strike
me when this mad mood was on me, fur
the blow had hardly been given than I
sprang on him?for I seemed lu my
frenzy to haw the strength of ten men
?and struck him so fierce a blow that I
believe I killed bim?I hope to heaven I
did."
"And then?"
"And then, without a hope o? cheapo,
I Sung myself on the scowling wretches
who crowded round mo, und should
have been a dead man in another min
ute, when help came from a quarter J
little dreamed of."
"Help!"
"Aye, Just as my strength wo^ spent
a grand, tall figure of ame.n who looked
to me in my need like some angel sent
from Heaven, dashed between me and
my enemies and bade me flee for my
life,"
"TJew strange!"
Not ). 1* was Just the chiefs son
who was ?riviii;>" me a life for ? Iii:?the
mar: we captured and set free on the
bank of the Quagla."
"And you fled directly hero?"
"I knew not where I went. It was
blind good fortune which brought me
to your side."
"And perhaps even now he Is suffer
ing for his humanity." Dunbar said,
with a chivalrous thought of the young
chief's danger.
'Notjae, indeed!" Campignon replied,
confidently. "They would not dare to
barm bis father's son, for the old chief
Gam Ghooli would take a life for every
drop of his blood they shed.*
But he?might not be?"
"Ah, you do not know. The chief
himself k> gone down the river to Inter
cept us?the very noon, in fact, In com
mand of the canoe we met just before
we entered the lake.'*
"Archer must have paid these people
heavily for such aid,'* Arthur mused.
"Yes, indeed; and I heord that in ad
dition to his rewards he has given the
chief substantial aid in hushing1 up a
complaint which has been made against
him to tho British government.H
What a scoundrel! Now, Campig
non, let mo relate my adventures to you
and then yon shall have a few hours',
needed rest, which you con indulge In
without fear, for I will lock the door,
and no one but myself ever comes to
this part of the house after the coottea
have put the chamber in order."
Then the young American tn terse
sentences related the Incidents of the
past month.
"? can c*ear up ooo mystery* " Cem
pignon said, when Arthur bad finished
Ms graphic recital. *i can tell you
how you came into that cave temple, t
see the whole thing now as clear ee
daylight, for about a week ago one of
the natives told me that Ash un Ghooft, I
the young chief, had surprised a small
I partjr of strangers in the woods, con- '
\ sisting of two natives and one Euro
pean, that tho white man was dying1 of
the jungle fever, and that he had car- 1
ried him to a house in the woods where
be ba I hidden away a girl with whom
be is living contrary to the wishes of .
his father. As the fellow only men
tioned it to me as en illustration of tho
young chiefs generosity, I thought ho :
was relating something that happened
months ago." j
"And the natives?my bravo boat
men?did you hear anything of their
fate?** Dunbar asked, eagerly. . j
"Yes,** sakl Campignon, "they were
allowed to go to the coffee plantations
some hundred miles up the river." 4
"Thank Ileaven for that! Now rest
awhile, my friend, for I must return to.
Sir Harry." ' :
It wo? lucky that ho had resolved
upon doing so, for hardly bad ho '
reached the veranda than a runner
came at full speed bearing a missive
from Capt. Archer .addressed to him. It
was written with lead ponc? on a leaf
torn from a pocketbook and read:
The fugitive has got tho etart of us, and It la ;
Hkcly to bo a longer chase than I anticipated, j
for we havo learned that ho ts malting for tho
rtver by the very path you came by. As it may
be even a day or two beforo i retcrn, let me
earnestly beg you will take great care of ;
Sir Harry,' for, poor fellow, ho may have an
attack of cmmotlonal paroxysms. If 90, and If
you cannot manage him, do no* hesitate to send
for aid to the village The two coolie-servants .
In the house are no better than a couplo of old ;
women. Do this for mo and you will and that I
have both the means and the inclination to re* ,
?prorate the favor. Ftlank Archet*.*
Though his heart was beating with a ;
wild, exultant delight, Arthur Dunbar
managed to dismiss the messenger in a
cold, indifferent manner, giving him a
letter to carry to tho treacherous
Englishman.
"I will take the greatest care of *Sir
Harry,' " he wrote* "so make your mind
quite easy.* |
Nor did he rush with hte good news .
to Campignon; for he knew that three
hours' sleep on a tolerably soft bed
would be a (rodsend to tho exhausted :
Frenchman, and prepare him for the 1
prompt efforts they must make to es*
Capo.
When Campignon heard What had bo
curred his eyes flashed with joy. "Wo ,
are saved!** ho said. "But first let me j
give yon some idea of the geography of
the place* Where, we left the little !
lake toe river g?ra north lor nearly,
fifty miles, and then turns again in a
southerly direction; sa, by crossing j
along the land path we really traveled [
over the base of a triangle, and
now about five miles from its bank, .
where the village is situated. Thence
it bends and its course lies in a north- j
easterly direction, right into the heart
of the civilized legion of the coffee
plantations. Do you not sec9" j
"Yes? but how on earth arc tTO to ,

ringe talking to a lady, his honest face
aglow with an^-er.
"Good graeious, Mr. Barrow," rrpliV'l
the lady, quite taken aback by the
yeoman's ungracious reception, for she
was on a visit to a friend in the neigh
borhood and hod driven over to make a
call at Willoughby farm, quite uncon
scious of the yeoman's sentiments re
garding her eondu'.rt. ''What <)o you
mean? Arc you speaking of that un
fortunate girl, Kate Gramme?*1
''I be." wu-s the stolid reply.
"And do you moan to nay that you
think 1 haw; treated her badly?**
"I do."
"Then, you know nothing ubout the
cascv, or you would not say so. I am al
most too provoked with you to offer
you an explanation; but I know what
an honest, good-hcartcd, stubborn man
you r:rc, nnd ?*'
ih re Miss Baldcrstone*s voice became
a little tremulous and tears forced
themselves into her eyes, an expression
of emotion .-which considerably discom
posed ti:<; tender-hearted fanner.
"Dang it nil, marrn," hesaid, bluntly,
"doan't l>cgin a bcllerin*, for 1 cannot
stand a woman's tears?just tell me in
two words what has become of the
maid, nn' if you dnnnot want to aid her

"I do not know?but. oh, Mr. Bar

"Well, mann. If H *ull ease thy con- j

I Miss l?alderstone's face flushed wKh
indignation.
I "A year ago she left my house at
Kensington of her own free will?nay, j
1 might almost say surreptitiously,"
she began.
I . "? dunnot know what surreptitiously
means, but If it means that Kate Ora

"I mean that she left unknown to

"An* hadna thee done no thin' to make

"You may. Mr- 0o4bu*av Che eroV
oeot solicitor of Lincoln*? ton, had
haken great trouble to secure a position
for her in Canada, and at the lost mo

give any explanation of her obstinate

"Sensiblo lass! Old England was
good enough for her; bless her little
heart, 1 like her ten times better for
scttin' her pretty face agen a journey to
furrin parts,"
"But you forget Mr. Barlow, that
Kate Grahame had to make her way in
the world, and?**
"Ah, m arm, I see?thee madedier feel
that?an' that's why the sweet maid
left theo."
"Oh, Mr. Barlow, how can you be so
cruel to me? I tell you I loved the girl
like my own sister, and, though I was
angry with her and might have said
some unkind words In my vexation, I
never thought?"
"That her'd a had the spunk to teko
thy sneers in earnest Like a woman,
theo did na think that a word can cut
as sharp as a whip-thong?but tell me,
did thee hear nothin' of the poor lass
since her went away nigh on a twelve
month agone?"
"Yes, about a month ago my maid
met her in King's road, Chelsea, and
she gave her an address in the neigh
borhood. She said that the poor child
was looking so Wan and miserable
that-"
"That what?*
"That I got the better o? my pride
and wrote to her imploring her to re
turn to my roof."
Thee did, m arm! Well, that was
hearty & thee, an' more like what I'd a
thought Miss B alders tone *u<J a done.
Well, what did the maid say!?"
"She never answered my letter, and
of course after such contemptuous treat
ment I could not?"
"Of course thee couldn't! My! what
ft heap of dignity goes to the make-up
of even the best of women. But will
thee give me the address, for may hap
pen I ehamot be so easily angered by
her.*
"Willingly, Mr. Barlow, and I hope
you will be more successful lr restoring
the young lady to a proper frame of
mind than I have been. Perhaps, after
what has passed, you may deem it im
pertinent if I ask after your wife and
daughter. *
Tills was in Miss Balderstono's highest
style of Minervalike dignity.
"Thee knowest I will not Wife De
borah be fair to mkldlin', an' Nellie, my
little Nellie's goin' to be married."
How exultlngiy the farmer gave this
tatter piece of information,
"Aye," he added, "to be married to
two hunderd an* forty acres of the best
arable land f the county of SurreyI"
"Surely," Miss Bakteretooe said.
Cm fling through her chagrin, "you are
not making a sacrifice of your daughter's
happiness?yon speak so strangely
about her marrying the land?"
"Not I, indeed. Why, there's a fine,
young, handsome fellow as belongs to
the land?Willie Westlake?as ber is
jgoln' to wed of her own dear consent
come next Yule Tide. Precious sight
better than throwin' hersen away on a
frog-eatin' Frenchman, bean't it now,
Miss Balderstono?"
Miss Balderstono confessed It was,
and drove away, angry with the farm
er for his plain speech, and yet not al
together satisfied with the part she had
played in the little drama of Kate Gra
ba roe *b sorrows.
The next day Farmer Barlow, dressed
tn bis bright brown coat with girt but
tons, a very fiorkl neck-tie, a yellow
striped waistcoat eorderoy breeches
and top-boots, looking, I am free to
confess, very much as if he were tn cos
tume to play the heavy father In an old
fashioned Comedy, took his way to 17
And a l usa terrace, Chelsea, which he
found to be a squalid row of houses
struggling desperately to be genteel,
but having about them that Indescrib

dwellings as well as men.
lie had no difficulty in finding the
number, and his heart sank as the door
opened and a disheveled woman,
wiping the soapsuds from her arms,
for she had evidently just left the wash
tub, asked him what he wanted.
"You ve a young lady named Miss
Grahame staving here," the farmer sug
gested, blandly.
"I don't know al>out there bein* no
lud-i:.? in this houi*c, but there's u young
woman on the fourth Door, back, us

"Can I sec th?3 lady?"
'"Course yer o..m. Go up to the top
of the houi*.?fourth story, second door

yer'd tell lier that if the genleman !
drove ter take the iruichlnc away; an"
she loses the means of getttn" her Iivln',
out she goes bag and baggage."
The farmer reached the girl's door
just In time to hear the end of an ani
m?t.-d discussion carried on in male and
female accents.
"Oh, please, you must not, cannot
take It away," the feminine voice
pleaded. "I have paid yon six pounds,
and only owe yoti sixteen shillings.
Pray have a Uttle patience. I am sick
now, but shall soon get better and will
pay you every penny."
Let g*?! I tell you, 1? t goj" the
hoarse voice of t!io man cried, "the
machine is forfeited. Let go, I tell
you ?.r I'll?"
What he would do the world never
know, for at that instant the burly
form of the farmer darkened the door
way. Barlow dkl not stay to consider
how he should open the discussion, but
plunged at the hapless agent, grasping
at one handful the man's ear and the j
long looks contingent Thus he dragged i
him. shrieking with rage and pain, to
the et?lr landing, when one kick from
the farmer's heavy shoes sent tho poor
wretch headlong down the stairs, his
cries and curses mingling with the
landlady's screams.
Yesf In this bore, miserable garret
stood Sir Harry Oraharae's heiress?
beautiful as a Madonna, but with all
the sunny brightness faded out of her
winsome features. Tears rolled down
the farmer's cheeks os he grasped oof
hands.
"My birdie* My poor, lost, foolish
birdiel" he cried, as he drew her to him.
One glad glance shot from her eyes;
and she fell fainting Into his arms.
Then yon should have seen the
vagaries of the sturdy farmer. Ho
roared for help, and first almost terri
fied the landlady out of her wits by his
denunciations of her inhumanity, and
then drove her frantic with joy at the
glittering heap of shillings and half
sovereigns ho poured onto her lap. Yotx
should hove seen the big baeket of del
icacies he fetched into that cheerless*
chamber; you should hove witnessed
his burst erf joy when die doctor told
bhu tfiat tf bo would onry moderate bis
transports, and not cscttp the patient,
ho might remove her to Wlflougbfcy
farmhouse that very night.
As for Kate Oruhame,, she wua Wo
week to ofBcr any opposition, and, like
a sensible girl, without an effort of re
monstrance yielded to his tender solici
tude. l*oor girl, she reached that haven
of rest jnst in time, for even her superb
health broke down under the long spell

To the Editor of The News and Cou
rier: I notice that I was reported in
your paper as having said at the meet
ing of Congressional eandidates at
Florence on 1st inst that I was not a
candidate aod bowed to the dictates of
tho A Hi a no<\ Now, I would like to say
through your columns what I think I
Raid then as well as I say now. I feel
like I have been grossly deceived and
imposed upon by Mr. McLaorin. Hie
excuses for trampling upon my friend
ship and violating his voluntary promi
ses to me are that the people will think
that there has been a trade between us
by which he was to be Attorney Geu-.
eral and I to go to Congress, and. there
tore, to contradict that impresioo he
was compelled to allow the use of his
name. I would not have cared if he
h?d c me out as an open candidate, for
thf n I would have known how Co act,
but deliver me from a traitor io the guise
of a friend.
Mr. Norton in closing bis speech al
luded *o wh*t he considered to be the
injustice of the manuer in which I had
been treated, and proposed for the sake
of justice and right that he wooM with
draw in my fa7or if Mr. MoLaurin
would do the same.
I got up and said that, while I felt
grateful ro Mr. Norton, I would never
accept office as a concession from any
man who has ever walked upon God'6
green earth, more especially from Mr.
McLaurin; fhai the Alliance caucus had
seen proper to select him as the stand
ard bearer of their cause; had selected a ,
lawyer in preference to a member of the
order, and that I had not one word to ,
ay, but would bow in submission; that
I would go home ami "plough uu," and
that the principles which were so dear
to my heart?tu ihc heart of every true
Alliance n.an ? would ever ?ud in me an

A Warning to Stop.
The disgraceful affair at Cedar
Grove church, Anderson county,
yesterday ought to put the ?ober,
repectable people of the State to
thinking very seriously.
Here was a white democrat, a
candidate lor delegate to a democratic
convention.goingtoaddiess a meeting
of white democrats in broad daylight
and without a shadow of fear or
suspicion lie was strictly within
hie rights as a man, a citizen and a
democrat, lie has not done or said
anything to bring upon him the wrajh
of any thinking, sober man. II? has
criticised the public career and official
acts of a public officer, as he haa the
right to do, decently and respectfully,
backing up every statement, charge
and accusation he made with facta and
figures. He lias not said of Governor
Tillmau anything so harsh or abusive
as Governor Tillman two years ago,
when trying to be elected, said of]
men then in office.
Maior Murray was denied the right
to speak. That is no new thing in this
State in these latter evil days. Other
men?white men, South Carolinians
and democrats?in this campaign and
in the campaign two years ago, have
been denied the right to speak because
they intended to speak against Till
man. 14Howling down" has come to
be a sadly familiar process We con
gratulate ourselves now when a meet
iug passes over without some such
manifestation of lawlessness, some
such demonstration against the right
accorded every man in this country
by our fundamental law. The condi
tions have gi adually become worse.
The other day at Union, according to
all the newspaper accounts, men stood
ready with pistols to take the life ol
a candidate opposing Governor Till
mau who was trying to settle a
peisonal question between them.
This incident at Cedar Grove,
however, is the climax. Major Mur
ray was not only with force and
violence foi bidden access to the
speakers* stand, but he was actually
mobbed and assaulted and was with
difficulty rescued from the rage of |
men apparently intent on doing him
serious bodily harm or taking his life.
And for what '!
Because he is advocating the
nomination of John C. Sheppard and
James L. Orr?South Carolinians,
while men, and democrats trusted and
honored by their State, their party
and their neighbors?as the demo
cratic candidates fur governor and
lieutenant governor. That is the
whole of tins offense. It is for that
he was mobbed, beaten, assaulted and
forced to leave a public meeting place
to protect his life.
Is it not time for men who love the
State, who respect her fair fame, to
whom she is something more than "a
little hussy/' as our governor calls
her, who have an interest in her peace
and prosperity, to stop and think ?
We are not talking to incite to ven
geance or to arouse passion- The
avenging wrath of Heaven may be
justly invoked against the man who
would now say or write one word to
widen the breach between our peo
ple, to increase their wrath against
each other, to increase the hatred
now dividing them.
We call on the sober, thinking,.
State respecting, decent people of
South Carolina to stop now and
consider in their hearts and honestly,
without prejudice or selfishness,
where we are gm" ug, what the cause
of this is, what the cud will be, where
we must look for safety.
It will not to hold the conservatives
responsible lor the evils which all
meu admit. They have the right to
make the fight they are making. If
there were but ten men in the State
who opposed Governor Tillman's
methods and ideas, those ten men
would have the right to put a man
against him and to demand hearings
for their notions of what was wrong
and right. They have not insulted
him. They haue applied no harsh
language to him. They have not
called him perjurer or accused him of |
corruption as he has called and
accused others.
The responsibility for all the wrath
and bitterness and strife, for the sup
pression of free speech, for the be
trayal of our people?our good, well
meaning, honest, brave and once
peaceful people?into acts disgraceful
to themselves and their State, is on
the miserable head of one man. That
man is B. 11. Tillman.
He came to us as a self seeking,
.seliish, Cold blooded candidate for
places and olliccs in the disguise of a
simple farmer, a patriotic citizen
seeking only the good of the people
und the State. Ho brought us bitter
ness and strife in the guise of reform.
He has given us hideous suggestions
isf oppression of the people on the
pretence of being their friend, helper
und representative. lie has deceived
[ind betrayed them, and through his
teachings and through his tools has
rnade them into howling, furious, law
Jcfying, liberty denying mobs
His baneful iuiiuence has set white
nan against white man, family against
family, brother against biother. It has
l)cen brought home to him already,
lor by his selfish and reckless ambition
ind self-seeking he has been denied
he right to uphold and defend iiia
)wu brother?a man who has deserved
md received the geod will and good
pinion of the public?against the
?ppositiou and deadly insults of an
uferior man
The one path to peace, the one
lope of restoring unity and good will
,o our people and party and prosperity
o our Slate and securing liberty and
??lf government, is to defeat B R.
rillmaii at the primary in August.
That is a work for the people to do
?the people who see, know and
leplore the evils that have come upon
us, who must if they consider the
matter honestly understand the cause
md perceive the remedy.
It is not a question of customs or
precedents or old issues. It is a
question of peace and progress and
good of the State, the unity of the
w I lite people and the preservation of j
Lite party.

General Farfer ft rmming for

Governor Tillntarr, *anrf as part ami
parcel oftte TiUrmm tidke*, aw one
of the men; to be fcowored wfrh office
jfTilllman delegates fori* the- elate
convention, his views and his record
are subject* far legitimate errt?emm?^
In 1rs speech ?t \Y iunsboro, Gen*
eral Farley answered "yes-" t^tlie
questions :
"Are you in favor of the po??
tax?"
"Are you in favor of putting white
men in the chah gang ibr Mot paying
the poll tax ?"
Gen. Farley did not t?odge thestr
questions but emphatically expresses!
himself favoiabie to them both.
He was charged with having fane<$
to pay his own poll tax in this comity
until executions were issued. He
explained that the treasurer railed to
enter the j o:l tax on the 1rs', and then
wanted him to pay $1.50, fifiy cent?
of winch he refused to pay..
An examination of the auditor's
books show that Gen. Farley is mis
taken. For the years 18 * 9-80-82-87
-89 he paid neither the one dollar nor
the fifty cents, nor any tas of any
description.
In five years out of twelve, wider
the law he mow seeks to put in oper
ation, the illustrious General would
himself have been on the chain gang ?
Governor Tillman, Ellerbe, Bates,
Tindal are all rich men, and we arc
not surprised that they slronld have
forgotten how hard it is for a poor
man with no property to pay his
taxes, but General'Farley has ouce
been poor himself.
h is amazing th3t this man who
says that the man who voted for Till
man, when he promised reform and
low taxes and refuses to vote for
him now, since he has given high
taxes and promises etill higher, "is a
coward and a traitor/1 should so soon
imbibe the hobbies of his boss and
forget how it was when he was poor.
It is amazing that a man who found
it too inconvenient to pay %\ to
public schools the year before he was
elected to a $1,500 job, should two
years later favor making other poor
men pay three times as much and
work them on the chain gang if they
are too poor to raise the niouey.?

It haw beef) charged that ex Go v.
Sheppard, the conservative candidate
for governor, drink* and gambles.
Here is what E. B. M array, a
Christian gentleman, says of him :
1 was Governor Sheppard's room
mate at college, and have been
associated with Itim for twelve years
in the Legislature, and never knew
or heard of his being under tlie influ
ence of liquor or betting at all.
He was elected four or five times
to the Legislature, three limes Speaker
of the House, arid once Lieutenant
Governor, and you know it would
have been charged on him if true.
You know that no bank in this
country would keep a man for presi
dent who either got drunk or
gambled ; and last of all. Governor"
Tillman either insinuates what is not
true mbont Gov. Sheppard or he
attempted to get the convention to
nominate a man for governor who is
a drunkard and gambler, when ho
seconded Sheppard's nomination in
the State convention. Let his friends
take their choice in this dilemma.
Either way it reflects severely on
Gov. Tillman.*1
- mwM I I
In his Yorkvilie speech, it will be
remembered that Governor Tillman,
quoting front B -tirke Cockran, said
that Mr Cleveland was the most
popular man in the United States
except on election day The News
and Courier takes issue with the gov
ernor, and by tlie way, the point made
by that paper is well taken. "In
1884," it says "Mr. Cleveland
received 4,011,017 votes, and was
elected president by 62,683 plurality
over all otiier candidates in the field.
It seems that he was the most popular
man in the United Stated on election
day in 1884. In 1SSS Mr. Cleveland
received 5,53S,233 votes for presi
dent and 08,017 plurality over the
oilier candidates in the field was de
feated. It seems that he was the
most popular man in the United States
on election day in 1888. When he
was defeated he received 6*27,216
more votes than when he was elected.
It is not true, therefore, that Mr.
Cleveland 'is popular every other day
but election day."'
