New YORK, July l2.-The World says
"The Democratic Convention has done it
work well. The association of the name o.
Hendricks with that Of New Yorks Cover
nor brings into the campaign the grea
fraud of 1876. Tilden steps aside. With
his approval his friends and admirers put
into his place Grover Cleveland, the heir to
his reform principles as well as to his State
and national honors. Cleveland and Hen,
bricks stand practically as the representa-
tives of Tilden and Hendricks. The nom,
ination is precisely the opposite Of the nom.
iaation of Blaine 1t is Clean government
against corruption. Clevelands nomina-
ton is an act of courage as well as we'll as
common sense. The platform contains not
a word in favor Of free trade, nor about
revenue only, vet it unites the party.
with such candidates and such platform
victory ought not to be doubtful.
The Tribune
SAYS The Tribune has earnestly desired
the nomination OF Governor Cleveland, be-
cause it has believed that he would be beat
en- more surely than any other Democratic
candidate Mr. Kelly and the New York
Sun have not been mistaken in declaring
that Governor Cleveland could not carry
this State General Butler was not mis-.
taken in declaring that Governor Cleveland
would lose the votes of host Of working
men and could not carry a New England
State The friends Of Thurman IN Ohio
were not blind when they said that Cl2ve-
land could not carry that State, nor was
Governor Abbott talking at random when he
uttered the same warningas as to New Jersey,
nor were the friends of MesSrS. Hendricks
and Mcdonald ignorant when they predicted
the defeat Of Clevelandin Indiana. Repub-
icans will not count upon assistance from
these or any other leading Democrats 1t
is nonsense to say Mr.. Kelly may defeat
Cleveland. The Tammany leader stated
the simple truth when he said that he would
be absolutely powerless to secure the sup
port of the workingmen Of this city for the
Governor. All the organs of British inter
ests and of free trade will support him most
zealously and that will fix his status. Once
more the Republican party has occasion to
thank the Democrats for undersigned favors.
They have done what they could to avert
the National disaster and the National dis
grace cfa democratic victory"
The Star passes the nominations over
without comment OF anv kind.
The Sun saws editorially: "Well, the
has nominated Cleveland, and
now the question will be whether he or
Blaine is to be elected. The question may
be somewhat complicated by the running of
a third candidate This Will rest with Gen
eral Butler. WOnd he draw away votes
from Cleveland or from Blaine? The great
point of uncertainty is the real magnitude
of the Republican revolt against Blaine. No
doubt all the malcontents Of that party will
give their support to the Democatic candi-
date Will it enable Cleveland to carry
New York? Cleveland has himself set
the example of the entire independence Of
his party, and besides this is greater year
for "bolting.
