cLEvELAND,s AVAILABILITY.

He Has Secured Republican Support by Alien
New York Sun.
The one and sole recommendation of Grover
Cleveland to the Democratic national eonven-
ton was his supposed availability. 1t was not
contended in his behalf by his enthusiastic par
tisans from the Slate capital and the department
of public works that he was a trained, expert
enced statesman, whose intellectual grasp was
firm enough and whose knowledge of public
affairs was wide enough to put him within
raEge OF even the least distinguished of his COM
petitors He was supported not as intellectually
the fttest one to lead his party, but as the man
who could get the most votes. Thurman, Bay
ard, Palmer and Randall were infinitely his SUI
periors in intellectual force, but they were not
considered to be SO available So Mr. Cleveland
was selected, and folly was justified Of her chill
dren. Less than a month has passed
since this available nomination was made,
and how is it quoted nowl Has avail
ability gone up or down in that timeg
What has the Democratic party gained by low
erlng It's standard of public merit, and by sacri-
hc1ng Its most splendid names to promoted ac-
cldentf 1t has gained, or hopes it has, some
small quantity of votes, the votes of Republicans
who hate 1t as badly as they hate Mr.. Blaine,
and who INTENDED to vote for Mr.. Cleveland as
oUOuo 0ilo same bllIlS as Young IOf a he
publican 1t has gained also the enmity of great
numbers OF laboring men who have hitherto been
willing to support it. 1t is safe to estimate that
for every dissatisfied Republican whom the
demi- Republicanism of the Democratic candi-
date has won over it has turned two Democrats
away disgusted. This is the fruit Of putting up
candidate whose course. however sincere may
have been the motive that prompted it, has only
secured Republican votes by alienat-
ing Democratic. And now, to make
this brilliant triumph Of availability still
more resplendent, the Democratic candidate
must go through the campaign with the burdenof
an old scandal weighing him down. It is
wretched business. Surely, if mediocrity was
to be honored and exalted by the Democrats,
there was medocrity enough to be found against
which, in private life at least, no shameful ac-
cnsation would be brought and in whose de-
Tense no painful confession would have to be
made. But to public abilities of the highest
order, to private lives without a blemish, the
Democrats preferred availability. The result
has been that already there is doubt where there
should have been assured confidence, and the
fatal seeds Of division. and disaster may be
already springng up in fields where victory
was looked for.

new York Sun
It is now asserted, on what seems to be good
authority, that the main facts about the Buffalo
scandal were laid before many of the delegates
to the Chicago convention before the nomina
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland In other words he was
not chosen by the convention as its candidate
for President in utter ignorance of the risk in
volved. This may be true 1t is nevertheless
true that the Democratic party at large, the
great body Of Democratic voters throughout tho
land, and the newspaper press opposed to Mr.
Blaine and to continued Republican rule, re-
manned in absolute ignorance of the existence of
these charges until weeks after the nomination
Of the machine candidate. It is likely, more
over, that the stories whispered at Chicago took
no definite form. The same thing cannot be
said of the independent Republicans who adopted
Governor Cleveland as their candidate at the
recent conference in this city, and who declared
in their address to the country that the para
mount issue Of the presidential election of this
year is moral, rather than political We find in
the Brooklyn Daily Times this distinct asser-
tom
Before the conference met, before the adj
dress read by George William Curtis was pre-
pared, Mr.. Curtis knew, and the other leaders in
this movement knew, that Governor Cleveland
