Not Runlng Alone.

OF Cleveland to ignore the tail of tn,
ticket, and 80 II asks IL CLEVELAND
running alone 2"
Before attempting TO set the mint
of the Tribune at rest, 1t seems ne
cessary to ascertain whether Clevelan,
Is running at all. Is there anythinl
visible on the surface of the politica
field that suggests the idea that Cleve
land is running? If there is, it IL
such n slight manifestation as u
leave it quite an open question
whether it is real running or not. tn,
question is daily gaining ground thai
the Democracy has been fooled by the
New York machine into putting q
horse on the track who has no running
qualities about him. The nomination
of Cleveland has been followed by
none Of those manifestations that &C.
company the running for the Presi
dency. Cleveland is not running. He
has nothing TO run with. He has a
good deal TO keep him from running.
Running, in its political sense, mean,
energy, activity, reputation, populari
W. Men run, in this sense, when the
people take them up and run them into
the White House, rs tue people of this
country are now doing wi h Mr.. Blaine
There Is nothing of all this about the
dead heavy weight that the Democracy
has loaded itself with. What little
anybody Knows about Cleveland Is as
remote as os -ib.s from any idea of run
ming.
The Chicago Tribune ought to see
that Cleveland is not really running.
He has been entered for race which
he can't run. He hasn't the bottom, the

tial course. But If any insist that be-
cause Cleveland has been named hy the
Chicago Coz vnntion he must therefore
be considered a. running, at least tech
nically, then the Tribune's question is in
order " Is Cleveland running alone"
Decidedly NOT. leveland is accom-.
panied by several thugs, besides his
own dead weight, which quite forbid
The idea OF his running alone. He is
running with the Democratic party.
He is running with the NV York
Democratic machine. He is running
with his monopoly vetoes. He is run
ming with free trade. He is running
with Thomas y. Hendrick S. And,
worst OF all, heis running with Stephen
Grover Cleveland. Running alone"
BY no means. II Mr.. Cleveland can be
said 10 be running at all it is with such
an assorted cargo OF dead weights hung
round his neck as must break him
down long before he reaches the home
stretch
NO man can make seri us run before
the American people in such a condi-
ton as this. Where Cleveland ought
TO have "A record he has none. Where
he ought 10 need no record, he has

That is the party that Mr.. Cleveland
is running with aud It is another
