The Agony Over.

The agony OF the democracy over a can
didate for President is ended and his name
is Stephen Grover Cleveland. The reports
OF the proceedings in the convention at
Chicago foreshadowed the result. From
the very commencement of the struggle it
was apparent that all which machine poll
tics could do to force and make certain
the nomination of Cleveland would be
done. The local office holders of the En-
pire State were on the ground in force,
bullying. palavering. scheming, trading
TO make the nomination of Cleveland GER.
tain, and even forcing the unit rule down
the throats of large part of the conven-
ton. II those who favor better and purer
methods in politics can take satisfaction in
a nomination brought about as Cleve-
lands was we think they are very easily
satisfied.
In this nomination the capacity of the
democratic party for laundering has again
been displayed The nomination of Cleve-
land is the weakest which they could have
made. 1t was impossible for them to
make any nomination that would succeed
against Blaine. but they might have done
better than to pit Cleveland against him.
They have selected Mr.. Cleveland because
he is negative man. kind of General
Hancock in politics. whom accidental
circumstances bore into the Governors
chair of New York by a great majority
calling themselves independent repub-
licans urged his nomination. They for
got to take notice that the great majority
by which he was elected Governor in 1882
all petered out in 1888 and left him and his
party in minority, and that his candidacy
was opposed to the bitter end by a power
ful faction of the democratic party in New
York who will do nothing for his election
A prominent politician of New York said
before the convention: "lf Cleveland
should be nominated. Blaine would walk
away from him in New York There is
nothing to Cleveland as a Presidential
quantity. The campaign would drag on
democratic hands the moment he should
be nominated"
How do the, republicans like the nomi-
nation of Cleveland? For our part we
would not change 1t if we could. Cleve-
land will be an easy man to beat. Our
republican exchanges all say the same
thing. The nomination is Just what they
desired. And every republican whcm we
meet is of the same opinion.
But it falls upon the democrats like a
wet blanket There is nothing in ii to
arouse their enthusiasm. They look upon
it as in some sort an attempted sale of the
democratic party to the independents,
another great blunder like the nomination
of Horace Greeley for President Be
tween such a man and Blaine many dem
ocrats will choose Blaine In Maine Cleve-
lands nomination will weaken the demo-
cratic party and add largely to the repub-
lican majority.

What a Democrat Thinks of Mr

It will not do for the democratic party to
suppose that they will have an easy victory.

Few Reasons Why the Augusta. Maine,
| Edition Will Outsell All Others
Ten to One.
Ist Because ii is the authentic edition published
| from Augusta the home of Blaine, and has had the
advantage OF the most complete knowledge oil MS
whole life.
I'd. Because Mr. Blaine and his friends cooperat.
ed with the author and publishers in order that a.
work might be most complete and correct in all
Sd. Because Col. ConweI is better fitted for writ
ing such a volume than any other man in America;
all his earnestness, knowledge, and ability will be
found in the volume.
4th Because in its manufacture it is the largest,
best, and handsomest book ever published for the
ing for any other edition. never do for one dollar
what you just well receive $1,000 for you can
sell ten books Of the Augusta edition where yol
would hardly sell one Of any other.
5th. Because volume is pictorial biography,
and illustrates the most interesting scenes in the
life of the candidate. Our volume is splenddly
illustrated.
9th. Because the author has visited the scenes
of the early life of the distinguished statesman and
familiar with the of the boy and youth, from
the statements of those still living there, who knew
him then; this is an intensely interesting portion of
the volume.
