A WEAK NONERATION.

The uominasIon Of Grover CHeyeland
Tor president. by the national Democrat
&c coaEentiOn ct Chicago. is received
with Satisfaction by the Republicans ali
over the country. He Wss the candi-
dete OF all Others mentioned for the
place whom they desired 90 zee chosen,
and his selection only bears out he
truth Of the observation that the Democ-
racy Is the victim always OF q peculiar
exigsney Of mistake" The dlssatasfac-
ton which the success Of Cleye-
land at Chicago has created In his
own party was foreshadoWed weeks be-
fore the convention by many OF the
most able and influential Democratic
Journals in the country, winch adwOn-
ished their readers that such consum-
nation would inevitably result in the
loss 70 the Democracy Of the state Of
New York, where Cleveland has gained
the intense hostility Of The laboriER
men and the anti.monopolists by mis-
veto Of the bill reducing the fare
on the elevated railroads. The
Democrats, In their eE
fort 10 secure the Independent Republi-
can vote-the strength OF which they
greatly Observation-Disclosures iieniated In
New York = powerful faction in their
own party, and the loss which they vii
suffer. In consequence. in numerica
force will far outweigh what they gain
from the Republicans boilers.
Il The disaGection in Ohio over the de
feat Of Thurman will also make itsel
felt as the canvass progresses, and Their
will be no lack Of Democrats in tina
state who will resent the slight agaIns
the "Old Roman" IN the Chicago con
VentioD, In favor of . man whose politi
cal career Is limited 70 the mayorslty o
an interior city and goYernorshIp o
. STATE which has furnished all the can
didates for president which have beeI
defeated in the last twenty years.
The inexperience Of ClevelaD,
In national affairs, and his ute
lack Of statesmanshIp, empha
sizes the insult suffered G
Chicago by such leaders as Thurman
Hendricks, Mcdonald, Randall, ant
/ others, and demonstrates the fact that b
/ was cho>en as an expedient rather thai
from q view Of any qualifications ef lead
ership or special fitness for q trust who's
fulfilment requires the brightest stand

Mr.. Cleveland's elevation to the gut
ernatoTial chair In New York was III
! result OF an accident. He WI
Z elected as the result of di
affection among the Republicans, an
g rode into power on a tidal wave whic
y receded with as great force as that viii
: which 1t advanced. He has never eve

Q oughly provincial scale, II we except Il
= questionable part which he has place
n in certain legislation at Albany whic

= He is, all things considered, the mo
j vulnerable candidate which his par

. this fact Is recognized by reflective Der
