Cleveland Plain Dealer. There
seems TO be no doubt at all that what
ever differences Democrats may
entertain about the availability of
pres idential candidates there is n
man who, if he would say the word,
would receive the Democratic nomi-
nation without a~,dissenting voice.
That man is the man who was fairly
Pand legally chosen President of the
Omitted States but who was defraud
ed of his rights by that black con
spiracy that, of itself alone, will damn.
the Republican party to everlasting
infamy. The man who could, if he
would, he nominated at Chicago with
entire unanimity, and who could and

The editor of the DEMocRAT is not
an office seeker-don't want any,

the office he can now attend to, and
it is much more pleasant and pecu-

office in the gift of the people in this

If Democratic County Treasurer
proves to be a defaulter, every Re-
publican paper at once endeavors 70
make+out of it all the political capt
tai possible and particularly parades
the fact that the defaulter was a Dem
ocrat. During the last two months
two Republican Treasurers have lef;

In the Presidential campaign of
1880, Republican politicians were
very profuse in their declarations
that if Hancock was elected the Ia
boring men would be doomed to idle
ness, low wages, and starvation, and
that Garfield's election would ensure
higher wages, steady work and un
bounded prosperity. The same doc
tribe was advocated by manyo of the
leading metal and steel men ofPenn-
sylyania, but long before Garfield
took his seat as President these very
same men, formed organizations for
the purpose of cutting down wages
and thus preeipitated the great lock
out of which the laboring men no
doubt have a distinct recollection.
The laboring men we're told that
wages were regulated by the law of
I.supply and demand, and that neither
tGarield's election nor the tariff ques
ltion had anything whatever TO do
with the question. The later argu
mcnt continued to be freely used un-
til the present Presidential campaign
began to elicit attention, when the
law Of supply and demand is sudden
Fly dropped by these foxy politicians,
and they begin to warn the laboring
men that the election ola Democratic
President will be ruinous to the in
terest of labor. The same old argu.
ments that were so successfully used
in the last campaign will be reitterat-
ed in tile present, but the same sue
cess is not likely to follow for the
simple reason thatithe laboring men
have grown wiser from the bitter ex-
p%erience of the past three years. A
very large majority Of the laboring
class of people, who comprise the
bone and sinew of the nation, having
become Disguised with the faithless
promises of Republican politicians
are determined to have a change, and
will unite with the Democratic party
which has always been the tue, un
failing friend of the laboring man.

Poor Mr.. Conkliug, ex-senator,

tirement from public life. In IN in
terview he is r~eported'as having said,
bosses are essential to the success OF
all undertakings, and tie Republican
party has lost its prestige since it
destroyed its bosses. (Conkling for
%example.)
He says Garfield was a fraud and
~hypoclite; that Grant, not the Re-
publicans, elected Garfield; that
Garield's nomination was a "set up
Ijob;' that Hayes was never elected
fairly, and should not have been per
mitted to take his seat.
Continuing further, he says the
Democratic party is a fine organiza-
ton, well disciplined, marching as
one man against any point it ~assails,
listening to and obeying its acknow-
