THAT TICKET.
THE ONE THAT WILL WIN.
Expressions From the Leading Journals
of the Country on the Ticket-A
Mountain of Merit and
Molehill of Weakness.


Molehill of Weakness.
Louisville Commercial fRep0: Gov |
,rnOr Cleveland is not Governor Tilden, |
md the Southern question which gave |
rigor and purpose to Tilden's campaign !
has been eliminated from National poll |
les. The South is indeed more solid
now than il was then, but the fact that
It's "soIdity" is owing to the views and
feelings of its people about the past, and
not to their opinions upon living ques-
tons affecting the present and future,
makes its "solidity" a less help to Cleve
land than the living Southern question
was to Tilden.
indianapolis Times (Rep): The name
of Mr.. Hendricks will not, under the
circumstances, add any strength to the
ticket; The convention had Just re-
solved that Mr.. Hendricks was first in
the affections of his party. After that
resolution, the placing him as second to
man so wholly his inferior, so little
known, and with so small a record as
Mr.. Cleveland, was an insult to his self
respect. Four years ago Mr.. Hendricks
refused to take second place with Mr..
Tilden, and it is hard to see how he can
accept it with Mr.. Cleveland.
New York Star (Dem): Frankly re-
plying to the interrogations of many
correspondents and many contempt
raries, the Star is of the opinion that
Grover Cleveland is one Of the very
weakest candidates prominently men.
toned for the Chicago Democratic nom
nation. Two years ago he was elected
Governor by the phenomenal majority
OF 1851; to-day we do not think he
could carry the State against Blaine.
1t is Mr.. Cleyeland's misfortune
that he has gained some little popular
ity among Republicans, while at the
same time far more rapidly losing it
among the rank and file Of his own
party.
Washington Republican CRep.): 1t
may be said of Governor Cleveland
without the least disrespect, that he is
not man of genius. He is not a
trained statesman, and has seen 40 little
of public life that he is utterly unknown
TO the masses of his countrvmen. No
man has ever been nominated for Presi-
dent by either of the great political par
ties of whom so little is known beyond
the fact that he is "a good man." Con-
trasted with any one of the Democratic
statesmen who have led the party since
the war he shrinks into very common
place person.
New York Sun (DemJ: Meanwhile
the course for those who can not be zeal
Gus for candidate like Cleveland. vet
do not want Blaine for President is
something TO be determined by the iudg-
mcnt and conscience Of the citizens. 1t
is true this is not a consideration that
leads to much enthusiasm, and no one
can be very eflicacious in an election
where he is actuatcd by a conscientious
"a al Dt,s .
ence the votes of many, no doubt, while
there will be others who will reason
that Mr.. Cleveland has himself set the
example Of entire independence of his
party; and, besides, this is a great wear
for boiling. What prophet can now fore
tell what will happen?
New York Times (Rep): 1t is not
only in what he clearly represents. but
in what he distinctly oppos IS, that
Grover Cleveland is strong before the
American people. His career has made
him the exponent of clean and honest
politics. In the administration of pub
lie trusts he has shown that he is su.
perior to partisan bias, Indifferent Il
such party interests as are in conflict
with official probity and the public wei.
iare. lie has been severely tried in the
| important and responsible post he now
occupies. He has resisted the impor
tunities Of designing politicians; he ma,
defeated the purposes of selfish
schemers. All those members of hi,
own party, who are are not absorbed il
private aims which are in conflict Will
the public good, are Outspoken in hi
praise; and he has won the good opinion
of all Republicans who are not so ia
gone in partsanship as to have lost tn,
! power to command upright conduct il
Il political adversary.
Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.1
But the ticket in itself is a strikingl,
strong one. II is probably as near i'm
yincible and irresistible as could hav,
been named. Grover Cleveland wa
iunqucstlOnably the most available MAJ
in the East whom the party could hav
nominated. In him is represented tba
spirit of administrative reform whicl
drew the party to Tilden IN 1876, AM
which to-day the best elements of tn
American people, irrespective of party
seek TO apply to the administration q
the National Government.
New York World (Dom.): Gov
Cleveland's nomination is an act q
courage as we'll as of common sense
OF courage, because the conventio

common sense, because in Grove
Cleveland is presented not only cand
date, but an issue Of reform, which prC
cludes the Republicans from raisin
