Show PROBABLY most of the Republicans who are so bitterly denouncing President Cleveland for permitting the Edmunds bill to become a law by nonaction instead in-stead of by the attachment of his approving ap-proving signature are not aware that they are in the same breath reflecting upon the memory of Abraham Lincoln The original antipolygamy bill of which all subsequent measures upon the subject sub-ject are amendatory thereto was passed in 1862 It was never signed by President Presi-dent Lincoln It became a law in precisely pre-cisely the same manner as the bill passed by the last Congress THE DEMOCRAT mentions this fact not from any particular regard for Mr Cleveland but to prevent if possible any further assailment as-sailment of the memory of one of our countrys greatest and purest patriots |
