CLEVELAND'S CANDIDACY.
Some Expressions Of Opinion From
The Press.

The Press.
What Republican and Independent jour
MATS T!tink of tt Hearty Enforcement
of Clereland's Candidacy.
New York Times, Rep.]
No Democrat with whom patriotism is not
subordinated to private grudges will withhold
his vote from Grover Cleveland. Of Republi-
cans, those who are entirely satisfied that
Blaine and Logan faithfully represent the
principles upon which the party that pre-
served the Union was founded will doubtless
vote against him. Those Of the Republican
faith who are repealed by the most unwise
choice made at Chicago last month will find
no difficulty in voting for him, since he is
one of the best representatives now to be
found in public life of those administrative
principles and reforms to which they are
committed. A Democrat who has made enc
mics of the disreputable elements of his own
party is not greatly to be feared by Republi-
cans, even when he Is candidate for the
Presidency.
The Times will heartily support Gov.
Cleveland, In opposing Mr.. Blaine it finds
itself already upon impregnable ground and
in excellent company. 1t has closely watched
the career of the candidate nominated at
Chicago yesterday, and it has entire con-
fdence in his probity, in his intelligence, and
in his administrative ability. He ought to be
the next President of the United States, and
we believe he will be.
New York Herald Ind
The Herald puts at the head of its columns
the Democratic ticket for President and vice
President of the United States. We con-
graduate the Democratic party upon the work
of its convention at Chicago, and the oppor-
tunity it offers to the American people
through union of patriotic voters, by what
ever name they call themselves-Democrats,
Independents, labor reformers. or whatso-
ever else-to redeem the country from the
disgrace and peril to which the Republican
| party has plotted to expose it by the thor
| oughly bad nominations Of Blaine and Logan.
Cleveland's easy nomination on the sec
| ond ballot yesterday justifes all that we have
| thought and said of the sound judgment and
good sense of this convention when put to
decisive test of choosing between what is
| vital, sound and vigorous in the Democracy
and what is very much the other way; and
the convention is to be congratulated upon
| the fact that it has named the man who will
be the next President.
Parties in this country are to-day at turn
! ing point in their history, and 1t is for the
Democracy, If it hopes to impress its convic
tons upon the life Of the nation to take
| this turn in the tide at its happy moment, or
| it must remain stranded with the wrecks of
its past not over respectable history. The
nomination of Cleveland means that the
young Democracy is determined to take the
tide at its flood. We believe also that It is q
nomination which will command the ap-
proval of the aged and sagacious as well as
the enthusiasm Of the vigorous and youth
full.
Boston Herald.
In nominating Gov. Cleveland for Presi-
dent the Democratic party has displayed the
wisdom of its opportunity. The Herald re-
joices in the ticket and predicts its success
at the polls, predicts the beginning of the end
of the Republican party, thinks change
desirable and eulogizes the character and
record of Cleveland.
Boston Transcript Rep.
The masses vote once in four years, and
they generally act from principle. With all
the clamorous opposition of Kelly, Butler s.
Co., Cleveland is the strongest man the
Democrats could select. Bayard would have
been had Cleveland not become so promi-
nent, and drawn upon himself the malig-
nant hatred of the worst element in the
Democratic party. Cleveland's friends com
prise an overwhelming majority of the New
York Democracy, and his rejection to pacify
Tammany Hall, of malodorous reputation
throughout the Union, would prove most
effective argument against the Democracy,
not only among the constituency directly
represented by Gov. Cleveland, but through
out the country
philadelphia Record, Ind.
Gov. Cleveland is not great man, and
fortunately there is nothing in the condition
of the country that demands the appearance
of the great man on the political stage It
may be admitted at the outstart that he has
none Of the brilliancy and versatility of his
competitor But his career shows him to be
possessed of clear understanding, of great
decision of character, of cool Judgment of
high courage, and OF strong sense of public
duty. These are qualities that In the wear
and tear of life often compens safe for the
want of more shining attributes. In the Of
fee of Governor of New York Grover Cleye-
land has shown the courage to give bis ap-
proval to measure when their veto was de-
manded by popular clamor, and he has dared
to Withhold his approval Of other measures
that had nothing but their partisan character
to commend them. By his fidelity and pub
tic spirit as an executive he has unquestion-
ably won the confidence and support of thou
sands of opponents whose sole interest in
politics is in good and decent government.
Nashville World, DEM
1t is a wonderful thing in politics that
man forty-seven years of age should have
been selected by great party like Saul from
among the sons of Kish, for the highest of
fee, in Christendom, solely on the ground
that he is a hard worker and relentless re-
former. If he had been at the head of le-
eions, and had made military reputation.
there would be no surprise in it: but that a
man pursuing the thorny path Of laborious
reformer, and an enemy of all rings and
corruption, should be the leader of the
American Democracy, is passing strange.
It shows that the people have determined to
bring about chsnge in the administration
of public affairs, and that they want this dis
ciple of Tilden to do the work He has al
ready shown capacity for this undertaking,
and he will be commissioned in November
