Excerpt from The Authorized Pictorial Lives of Stephen Grover Cleveland and Thomas Andrews Hendricks: Being Full and Authentic Narrative of the Ancestry and Early Life of the Great Reform Governor; Sudden Orphanage and Early Struggles; Unconquerable Purpose in Gaining an Education and Triumphing Over Poverty, Cold, and Hardship Nowhere in the history of political parties do' we behold such consistency and vitality as that displayed by this party. Aiming always at the greatest good of the greatest number - the very essence of a republican form of government it has ever been the uncompromising fee of corruption, monopoly and oppression. Nowhere in its annals do we see the gigantic schemes of fraud and villainy that have cursed the sway of its antagonists. Here we have no Credit Mobiliers soiling the official robes of Congressmen, Senators, judges and even higher officials; here, too, we behold no whiskey rings smirching with their unhallowed stains even the curule chair of the Presidency itself.
