NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 12.-The nomina-
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks were re-
ceived with satisfaction among democrats,
though disappointing to many whose pre-"
ferences were Thurman, Randall and Me-
Donald. One hundred guns wero>tired.
ST.. LOUIS, Mo, July l2.-The nomina-
ton of Cleveland created little, ifany enthu-
siasm here, but numerous interviews dis
closed the fact that the ticket is readily ac-
cepted by the democrats. who regard it ia
vorably and generally believe it will be sue
cessful, while republicans rejoice and gen
orally believe it can be easily beaten.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 12.--The nominations
of Cleveland and Hendricks were received
here without demonstrations
LONDON, July 12.-The Daily Times COM
menting on the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, says: Americas foreign relations will
be safer in Mr.. Cleveland's hands than in
those of Mr.. Blaine. The latter represents
the American Lingo" party, which, like
the same party here, makes up in audaciy
and voubiity for lack Of numbers. As
president, Mr.. Cleveland would cultivate
quetude abroad and peace at home. II
elected he will be- chosen on the ground
that he will more worthily represent the
probity, good sense and studied modera-
ton of the American people than Mr..

DANIEL MANNING, the chairman of the
New York State committee, and the special
friend of Governor Cleveland, deserves
great credit for his splendid management in
the Chicago convention. He was patient,
tolerant of the opinions of others, avoided
entanglng alliances that might have proved
embarrassing, and refrained from contro'
versies with Grady and the Kelly set, when
it must have required great selfcontrol to
restrain his indignation. Cleveland's sue
cess was due in no small degree to his splen-
did leadership.
