Full Text
President-elect Cleveland believes and rejoices in the fact that the result of the election in November was a great Democratic victory, but he believes also that it was something more than a mere party triumph. In both of the formal speeches which he has made since the election Mr. Cleveland has endeavored to impress upon his hearers the fact that the result marked a political revolution deeper and more far-reaching in its possible effects than any mere change of party administration at Washington could be.
The fruits of such a victory are to be looked for in something larger than the possession of the offices. The important places will no doubt be filled with competent Democrats without unnecessary delay. But the Democratic leaders could not make a greater mistake than to suppose that this is the most important thing to be done.
The reforms which the people have demanded, and to which the Democracy is pledged, must be carried out. The relief which the people ask, and which the Democrats have been promising, must be afforded. The fruits of victory are to be sought in the application of Democratic principles to the conduct of the Government.—N. Y. World.
