PRESS COMMENTS.
From the Ne,o York World, Democrat.
The Republicans chose the man who they
Thought could best disguise their real purpos-
es: the, Democrats have chosen the man who
thew thought could best manifest their real
purposes. 1t is as clear as the sun IN heaven
that nothing but the urgent demand for re-
form in the affairs of the State and the gener-
al belief of the convention that Mr.. Cleveland
is eminently fit to meet the demand secured
the choice of Mr.. Cleveland to carry the stan
dard of his party.
From the Ne,c York Herald, Ind.
Seeing clearly through what conflicts with
the wealth, the power, the selhshness the
creed. the ambition and the knavery of mo-
nopolists- chartered and individual mo-
nopolists their political dependents, the
State of New York is destined speedily to
pass, the Herald does not delay to choose its
side in this encounter. 1t chooses the side Of
the people, and therefore advocates unreser-
vedly the election of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Hill in preference to Mr.. Folger and MIR. Car,
penter.
From the Buffalo Express, Republican. AL.
Will he be elected? Itwould be mere fool,
ishness on our part to feel the slightest doubt
about it, and, since the fraudulent nomination
of an administration candidate for the Repub-
licans, it would be rank hypocrisy to pretend
that we do not earnestly wish it. We think
he will get the largest majority ever given to
any man for governor of New York, aBd,,ii
he does not receive in this county the largest
vote ever given to any candidate for a State
officer in the same district we shall miss our
mark by a long shot a.e
From the Ne,c York Times (Rep.) ST.
The nomination of Mayor Cleveland, of Buff
falo, for the office of Governor, is likely to
prove one of exceptional strength and popu-
larity. From all that is known of the man he
appears to represent not only the better ele-
ment and higher character of the Democracy
of the State, but partisanship apart, some OF
the best qualities of our civic and political life.
He was chosen mayor of Buffalo as the repre-
sentative of demand for reform in municipal
administration, regardless of party considera-
tons, and received many more votes than any
other Democrat ON his ticket. In ofice-he
has displayed energy, watchfulness, and in
tegrity. He seems to belong to the type OF
rising public men of which Controller Pattison
of Philadelphia, is another Democratic exam
pie, and Mayor Low, of Brooklyn, is one OF
whom the Republicans are justly proud. 1t
will be as well to admit his merits and strength
and face the fact that he will be hard man
to defeat in such a canvass as is now fairly
opened in this State. The ticket was COM
pleted last evening in way that introduced
no element of weakness.
From the Neo York Sm, (Ind.)
Mayor Cleveland, of Buffalo, was yesterday
put up at Syracuse as the Democratic candi-
date for governor of this State. He is Jer-
syman by birth, lawyer by vocation, IS
years old, and had been an unimportant man
in politics until last fall, when by great ma
jority he was made mayor of Buffalo, in which
office he has made his mark and won the ap-
plause of his fellow citizens. He is popular
man in the western part of the State.
From the NeU York Tribune (Rep.)
The nomination of Mayor Cleveland, of
Buffalo, for governor by the Democratic con-
vention, means hard work for the Republi-
cans. Mr.. Cleveland is young, able and has
a clean record. He is popular in his section
of the State. He has been remote from the
all factions here can, and doubtless WILL sup
port him heartily Yesterdays convention
means a united Democratic party, with all
that that implies. There must be united
Republican party to face it if the Republican
ticket is to be elected this fall.
From the Philadelphia Times (Lnd) ~
The Democrats of New York have nomi-
mated an extremely creditable candidate for
governor. Mayor Cleveland was elected may
or of Buffalo by the votes of reform Republi-
cans, and has proved himself worthy of the
confidence reposed in him. He will be likely
to receive the votes of thousands of indepen-
dent and anti monopoly Republicans at this
time who are tired of voting for candidates
selected by the stalwart machine and Jay
Gould. All the present indications point to
the success of the Democrats at the coming
election in spite of the money it is understood
that Jay Gould is to put into the stalwart
campaign.
From the N Y Stats Zeitung Ind. Dem. J
The platform treats all the leading issues of
the times in a liberal and intelligent manner,
consistent with the true spirit of Democracy
in its former and better days. The Demo
cratic party must become again the rallying
point of the people against the ollgarchlc
classes. The party had to select new men,
and probably could not find more able ex-
ponent of administrative reform than the
worthy mayor of Buffalo. The governor S
office will be secure in his hands, and even
should the Democratic party not come up to
the expectations of the supporters of new
departure, the election of Mr.. Cleveland can
result in no harm. All opponents of the Re-
publican machine can work Jointly for Mr..
Cleveland's election.
ENTHUSIASM IN BUFFALO.
A dispatch from Buffalo to the New York
Herald says:
'The widest enthusiasm prevails in this
city owing to the nomination of Grover Cleve-
land for governor. The news was officially
received from Syracuse at about four o clock
Friday afternoon, and within an hour the en-
tire populace was at work decorating build
ings and preparing for public demonstration.
Buffalo has never been so thoroughly aroused
by political event Mr.. Cleveland is hand
some bachelor of forty five, and has stood at
the head of the bar of this county for several
years. His extreme local popularity comes
from the courageous manner in which he has
vetoed number of corrupt or extravagant
common council bills. Beyond the limits of
Buffalo Mr.. Cleveland won friends by his ad.
vocacy of free canals and restoration of har
mony in the ranks of the New York Demo
Gratis. AS practical reformer, free canal
advocate and one of the peacemakers in the
Democratic camp, Mr.. Cleveland is already a
politician of prominence. His majority in the
county is impartially estimated at $4,000, al
though as a rule the county has gone republi-
can. At eight O. clock Friday evening three
divisions were formed for street parade, each
being headed by band of music. Not less
than ten thousand people participated, and
many carriages were in the procession. In
various parts of the city there were huge bon
fires, while here and there noisy crowd of
patriots were discharging fireworks. The
pyrotechnic display exceeded that witnessed
on the Fourth of July. No less than dozen
orators have addressed large audiences inthe
open air. The town is literally ablaze.n 3
