CLEVELAND NOMINATED.

The Evening Wisconsin sensibly
says that the browning blunder by the
National Democracy has been commit
ed in the nomination to the presidency
of Gov. Cleveland. The Republicans
of the country have cause for devout
gratitude. They can afford to forgive
the Democracy for much of its past
evil and hurtful record, in considera-
ton of the indirect good it has done at
last, in nominating the weakest Of It's
presidential candidates.
A more acceptable antagonist to
Blaine could not have been chosen.
Blaine is everything that Cleveland is
not; and by contrast of the two men
better than By any other means posi-
bic to employ, the great qualities in
Blaine which have won for him a
national admiration and national affec-
tion, will be illustrated to the peo-
pie.
In the fullest sense Blaine is public
@an. He has lived in the very focus
of the popular eye for generation;
and in the blaze of his great promin-
ence he has revealed nothing Of which
his countrymen are not proud. Cleve-
land is as obscure as Blaine is conspic-
uous. His views upon national
questions, if he have such views, are
as unknown as Blaine's are well
known. Cleveland is the Yeriest tyro
in politics and an experiment in public
office. Blaine is veteran in poll tics
and is World-famous as a servant of
the nation. Cleveland is a creation
of the New York machine, Blaine the
spontaneous choice of the rank and
file of the greatest and most benefcent
political organization the world has
ever known. Cleveland is the depend
ent tool of faction. Blaine, by the
right of a GoG-given ability is the
leader of his party. By virtue of the
strength that is his own, Blaine leads;
by virtue of use to which machine
men have seen fit to put him, CleYe-
land is merely called leader.
It is thus undeniable that the Chi
cago convention could in no other way
serve the Republican party so we'll as
by nominating Cleveland. His ex-
traordinary unpopularity in his own
state is unexplainable on any hypoth-
esis known to the West. Senator
Grady'S better speech in the conven-
ton on Wednesday only mildly express
ed the opposition to Cleveland tnat
peryades New York A recent per-
sonal mingling with the people of
Northern New York, proves that
Blaine is even more popular there
than in Wisconsin; but Democrat SO
poor as to do reverence to Cleveland.
is hard to find
Any doubt which may have existed
any where as to the success of the Re-
publican presidential ticket is now dis
sipated by the marvellous ft'lv Of the
Democracy in nominating Cleveland as
its national standard-bearer The be-
ginning of the downfall Of the Demo-
cratic party as it now exists, is detect
ed in this latest and supremest blunder.

The fact that the Republicans every
where are more elated than Democrats,
over the Democratic nominations made
Friday at Chicago, begins to suggest
to the Bourbon bosses that possibly
they have made mistake. Their sug-
gestion will ripen into conviction long
before election day rolls around.

points out that the English railways

foreign countries, to slacKen at cross
