With Grover Cleveland a. its candidate the
Democratic party appeals with unmistakable
drectness to the moral sense Of the people OF
the United States. Shall the next President

The Democratic convention has done lts
work well. The nomination Of Grover Cleye-
land, demanded by the overwhelming senti-
ment OF the party, will be hailed as an omen
Of success all over the United States-from

Iornla. The association of the name of
Ihomas A. Hendricks with that of New Yorks
governor brings out the great Republican
| crime OF 1876.
