NEW YORK. July l2th.-The papers to-day Of
course all have more OF less 10 say of the nOmi
nations
The Herald says it puts Mt the head of its col
umns the Democratic ticket for President and
! President, Many elements of political
evils in this country will call themselves Demo
cratic but there is another Kind of Democracy.
There Is that growing up Democracy for which

and logical force in the Convention. There il

! studied the political theories of Democratic
teachers of the earlier days of the republic This
/ is the vital political element of our day and of
| the immediate future and this is the element
! which Kelly and Butler met for the first time in
/ the Chicago Convention. IL had its way in the

! organs in support of the platform. and says lit

| place which it ought TO occupy. The frec-trader
surrendeH no iota of his aspirations. and the
protectiOnist has nothing to construe away or
apologize for II is judlci0us wise progressive:
II is what the sun has contended for during the
last two years. We are content with IT," In
| regard TO Cleveland the Sun says: We'll, the
! Convention has nominated Cleveland and now
the question will be whether he or Blaine is to
be elected. We have had our own opinion, but
perhaps were somewhat mistaken about il. We
shall live and learn, we hope If Butler should
stand as the Greenbackers' candidate, would ho
draw away the vote from Cleveland or froTs
Blaine? What will William Purcell say viii
the nomination secure the friendship of the

counties? In a word, viii it enable Cleveland
to carry New York tolerably certain? This is
| going to be n mighty interesting canvass. 1t
has begun in surprises, and we dare say Il will
| be surprising all along"
\ special from Rochester SAYS that William
Purcell, brother of Archbishop Purcell OF Gin
cinnati, who it has been said, would oppose
Cleveland, came out III his paper, the Union Gad
-1drertiscr, and says: Against the wishes and
arguments of this journal, the National Demo
cratic Convention has nominated Governor
Cleveland for President. As the combined wis
dom Of the party is greater than that of any
member of it, the UBiOR bows TO the behest Of
the Democracy, and will follow the Old flag into
the fercest of the fight"
The Times says: "Shall the next President be
a candidate attacked, impeached tainted and
besmirched all over, or candidate beyond re-
proach ?-Grover Cleveland, whom honest men
respect, or James G. Blaine, whom the rogueS
love? This is the supreme issue. This is what
the voters of the republic are to decide. IL is
not the issue of protection. Free trade has
nothing TO do with it. There is 10 admixture
of foreign policy or want of foreign policy. Iu-
sincere professions cannot put It aside. The
Times will heartily support Cleveland in oppos-
ing Blaine. 1t finds itself already upon I'M
pregnable ground and in excellent company
1t has closely watched the career of the caudi-
date nominated at Chicago yesterday, and il has
entire confidence in his probity, in his inteli
gence and in his administrative ability. He
ought to be the next President of the United
states, and we believe he win be-
The Hord says: The issue made by Cleve-
land s nomination is clean government against
corruption, an issue of reform which precludes
Republicans from raising either the rebel or the
tree trade cry. These sound candidates stand
on sound platform The result is simply due
TO the adoption OF a conservative middle
ground, favoring a tariff for revenue with rea-
sonable protection, limited to necessities OF gov
ernment, and opposed both TO high protection
and to free trade

The Tribune is overfOwing with joy because it

many others, and deliberately picking out the

State, nor Governor Abbot talking al random
