Enlightened and persuasive discussion of the negro problem in its present phases and aspects.
More valuable still is his exposition of the Philippine question in its bearings on American life and politics.
In accepting the Democratic nomination Cleveland had the great advantage of not being obliged to refer to anything of which he was ashamed.
