IS that Governor Cleveland, . ayailabil-

wholly on the fact that he has little
knowledge of National questions and
no record concerning them, and that he
was elected Governor by q large major

THE IRISH, WORLD.
If the Democracy Fails to Take Up
Butler It Will Support Blaine.

The Irish World on Friday thus de-
clared it's position: Butler or Blaine.
As the time for holding the Democrat
ic National Convention appr9ache the
popular feeling in favor Of General
Buffers nomination grows stronger;
It would. be a grave mistake on the part
of the mocratic managers to suppose
failure to getth nomination they could
keep voters loyal to the Democratic
party. If. ignoring the wishes Of the
rank and file Of The % Democracy, the
political wire pullers should nominate
such candidates as Cleve leland or Bayard
there will be such stampede from the
Democratic ranks as will astOnish these
wire-pullers. We warn them in time
that there is a spirit abroad that cam
not be safely trifled with. The pOpu-
lar feeling toward General Butler is.
one that is rooted in the belief that he
more than any other public man is a
champion of a policy that is truly
American. Next to him in the adv0-
cacy Of such policy comes Mr.. Blaine,
who in case General Butler does not
get the nomination will undoubtedly
receive the great bulk of the votes that
will 20 to the Democratic party it it
places General Buffers name at the
head of it's ticket. IF the Democratic
managers so manipulate things at Chi
cago that General Butler does not re-
lceive the nomination the Irish World
will advocate the election Of Mr.. Blaine
and use whatever influence it may pos
sess to place him in the White House.
We believe the time has come when a
more vigorous American policy ought
to be substituted for the sycophantic
spirit toward England that has SO long
ruled the councils Of the nation. For
this reason we shall work for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Blaine if the Democracy
refuses to select as its standard bearer
General Butler, the only man who can
save it from defeat. 1t is for the Dem
sOcratic National Convention to decide
whether General Butler or Mr.. Blaine
shall succeed Presid lent Arthur. Let it
present some other candidate than Cen
eral Butler to the voters, but if it does
we tell the Democratic convention that
its nomination will be signal for a
bolt that will shatter the Demo ratic

SURE AS FATE.
Judge Lochrane's Reasons for Pre-.
dieting Blafne's Election.

aWho is going to be. the next Presi-
dent? Why Blaine, of course. / would
like to know where they can find man
to beat him." says Judge LOchrane, Of.
Georgia. Why" continued the Judge,
Blaine and Logan will sweep this
country from the Atlantic to the Paci-
tic, and they will carry New York, too
without fail. There is an element go-
ing to vote for them that has never be-
fore supported the Republ ican ticket in
a National election mean the Irish.
There is as yet no means Of estimating
what percentage of the Irish vote will
bolt the Democratic party, but it will
be very large, reaching perhaps as high
as 40 or so cent. The Freema,a's Journal,
of Dublin, has come out for Blaine,
and it is understood that Parnell and
the leaders of the Home Rule party
are anxious for his success. This cam
not but have it's effect on one side 0f
the water, and salready many Irish
papers in the country are openly adv0-
eating Blaine. There is, as they be-
ieve, principle at stake which will be
sure to capture them. I have just come
from the East, and I both saw and
heard of traces of this movement
everywhere that went. Now, what is
to offset the Irish detection from the
Democratic nomineesp They will tell
you of the great Independent move
ment against Blaine. Perfect humbug.
What do the Independents amount to
in this country? Simply nothing. Only
positive forces are factors in American
politics. And in regard to the talk Of
the mOneyed men Of Wall street being
hostile to Blaine, / can only say that q
friend Of mine, one of the largest oper-
ators on the street, told me he was
ready to put up double the figure he
subscribed in the last campaign, and he
said all those with whom he had
spoken felt the same way. Then others
say that the German vote has been
alienated by the Chicago nominal lions.
Now, in my opinion, the German is the
smartest man we have in politics. BE
is always found on the winning side.
In Democratic counties and States he
is always Democrat, and in Republic
can localities he is uniformly Repub-
lican. He manages to get the Offices
wherever he is. When people imagine
for a moment that the Republ ican Ger
mans are going to bolt Blaine they are
going to be badly left, for just so surely
as the electiOn day comes the last one
of them will be found voting and
working for Blaine and victory. They
know too much to be found on the
losing side"

Getting Ready,

The selection Of Mr.. Jones, Of Penn
sylvania, as Chairman Of the National
Republican Committee is accepted as
evidence that the campaign is to be
run upon high business principles. He
is not politician. According to all
accounts nothing would induce him to
resort to trickery. aStOops to conquer
will not be his motto. The Secretary,
Mr.. Fessenden, Of Connecticut, is a
lawyer Of fine ability and irreprOach-
able character. He was a somewhat
conspicuous delegate to the National
convention of 1880. an enthusiastic
Blaine man. The only hOld-Oyer 0ffi.-
cial is Hooker, of Vermont, who was
assistant Secretary four years ago, Us
now. 81

The most elaborate preparations have
been made by General Butler for ex-
tensfYe headquarters at the Palmer
Hpu during the cOnve milton. He will
1p9ko mo means to win the nomination
Ealing In this, his game will be to car
ryA State or two if possible, 50 as to-
throw the election into the House Of
Representatiy when he might, by
balance Of power. His game is a dou-
bleender. Cunning in his case is re-
enforced by a capaciOuS barrel, but no
conscience, and that def ciency is sure
to be fatal.
The recent National convention
showed a courage which is having q
very wholesome effect upon public
opinion. For the first time in its his
tory the party had the pluck to nomi-
nate its civil leader. Fremont, Lin
coin, Hayes and Garfield were all dark
horses, and Grants service had been
purely military. Judging from the
past one would have said that neither
Arthur nor Blaine could be nominated,
but the sequel shows not only that
Blaine was the first choice of q major
Yity, but that Arthur would have been;
the second choice Of very many Of the
0ldlu0 m6u. LII Juliet WOTQS. There
was no possible show for any dark horse
in the Republican convention. The
Democratic convention may not be
pervaded by that sentiment, but the
chances are that it will be. There are
waves Of public opinion in politics,
and if they are non partisan in their
nature they generally extend to both
organizations. It is hardly probable
that the Democracy should be unaf-
fected by the popular demand for g
thoroughly represe sentative candidate.
Reasoning by analogy, the campaign
for which preparations are now being
made must be square and direct
struggle between the two parties on
their more distinctive issues. Certain
it is that the Republican National
Committee must not attempt to dodge.
The June convention set an example of
courage which ought not to be lost
upon the committee charged with car
rying out the will of that convention.
It must bend all it's energies to the de-
velopment Of Repubi lean strength, and
not try to win by any possible indirec-
tion. The action Of Thursday indi-
Gates that the committee is getting
ready in good faith for a campaign
every way worthy the party at its best.
