Three bad laws are the bane of the time, the McKinley tariff, the Sherman silver law and the Geary anti-Chinese act. They all bear the signature of a Republican president. Every one of them would have been vetoed by a Democratic executive like Cleveland. They have all brought reproach and injury to the country. The presence of a man in the White House who is against those laws, who will moderate their effect so far as he rightly can, until they are repealed, and who will strive for their repeal, is a reassuring fact to the people.-Brooklyn Eagle.
