The New York Sun, by far the ables,
Democratic paper in the United States,
commenting upon the action of the
party at Chicago in selecting a candi.
date says:
ability was once a test Of the lead.
ership in the Democratic party. The
ablest of the men came to the front
and stayed. Availability is the new
test. 1t is the standard by which the
Democracy now proposes to be guided
in their choice of a candidate for presi.
dent. We fear the old motto of "Prin.
ciples, not Men," must be reversed SC
as to read Men, not Principles
Speaking further Of Cleveland, whom
it has antagonized. it says:
"He is not the man of the Democ-
racy. If every Democrat elected to
Office should 60 on as Grover Cleve.
land has done, the Democratic party
would speedily die out"
These pointed comments certainly
do not indicate that there is solid
Democratic harmony.
