Show CLEVELAND TALKS. As au Araerltan he I Proofl Urr bh Fellow Countrymen. New Yorar, Nov. 5. To an Associated As-sociated l'rea reporter, on the result re-sult of yesterday's election, ex-President ex-President Cleveland said: "I am delighted. I challenge the right or any man in the country to rejoice more heartily than I over the resulL of yesterday. My gratification i that of an American proud of bis fellow countrymen, who, though led away for a time by party prejudice preju-dice and blind confidence in cun-nlBgand cun-nlBgand eelflsh leaders, could not be deluded to their ruin. They have demonstrated that In dealing with them, it Is not safo to ca'-culale ca'-culale Uiat they are ttup'.d or heedless of the Welfare of their country. The necessity of taritT reform, with its consequent reduction reduc-tion in the cost of living, and the duty of the democratic rrty to advocate ad-vocate It, have been fully demonstrated demon-strated by thw action of the people yesterday. Their del ialon has been deliberately made. It it all the more significant becaase they have voted upon their reason and judg ment: because they have proved rornmtlnn poerlessasagalntt their convictions. "Of course, there Is noting for the democratic party to do but to push on the battle at all times and in ail daces on the lines which they hve a! J down. That is, to assist upon a wke adjustment of tarlfi taxatlouto the reasonable needs of government, as opposed to the plan which enriches en-riches a favored class at thu expense ofthemacsof the people. Until this victory is won, the question of tariff reform will not be settled nor the pledces and profeetlons of the democratic party to the people redeemed." |
