The Blaine shouters are LAYING
great stress upon the alleged Tam
many bolt against Cleveland, and
giving thereby the best evidence that
they are afraid of the nomination of
the great reform Governor, knowing,
as they do, that he is strong man
in New York state, without whose
vote it is not at all probable that
either party can win.
1t is no secret, and the. Democrats
have not tried to make it a secret,
that Tammany would prefer the NOM
nation Of another man; but that
Tammany will refuse to support him
at the polls should he be the nominee
in despite of that preference, we are
not yet willing to believe. The Tam
many organ says, in so many words:
Should Grover Cleveland be nomi-
mated for the Presidency the Star
will Loyalty support him against the
Malligan ticket, and similar prom
Use has been registered by the Tam
many organization.
To those who have watched closely
and impartially the political record
Of Tammany and the official record
OF Grover Cleveland, the cause of the
formers preference for another is
plain. Tammany believes that Off
Gals elected by the votes of party
should be governed in everything by
the desires Of that party, whether his
conscience approves or disapproves.
Grover Cleveland's view Of an Of.
ficials duty. to his party, and its
bearing upon his duty to the people,
is best expressed in his own words
as follows:
| believe in an open and sturdy
partisanship, which secures the legit-
innate advantages ofparty supremacy;
but parties were made for the people,
and l am unwilling, knowingly, to
give my assent to measures purely
partisan, which will sacrifice or en-
danger their interests.
These are noble words and it is
the fact that his actions as Governor
have tailed with them so exactly
that has made Governor Cleveland a
fayorite with all men less intensely
partisan than Tammany and who
look upon pure government as
higher consideration than the mere
attainment of what may be called
personal partisan ends.
The New DOMINION is in favor Of
the Old Ticket first, but if that be
out of the question, then, like the
Star, we will give to Gov. Cleveland,
if he be the nominee our best efforts.

They Mean Busi n ess.

The Republican blunder at Chiea-
go affords the Democrats an oppor.
tunity such as they have not had be
fore in the last quarter of century
aud which they can fail to improve
only by making a greater or an equal
blunder.
The opposition to the Chicago
ticket is unparalleled in the history
of the Republican party. There has
been certain amount of disappoint-
ment at the result of every National
Republican Convention. But it has
soon disappeared without developing
into any deep rooted or durable OPP
position.
This year the case is different.
The dissatisfaction with the action
of the convention has taken the shape
of a widespread, determined and for
midable movement on the part of
large body of Republicans to work
and vote against the ticket nominal
ed. This, it is significant to note is
not the protest of Independents mere
ly, bnt of pronounced Republicans
who have hitherto been used to civ.
ing their party loyal support There
is, in fact revolt widespread and
serious within the party itself There
is host of independents with Re
publican sympathies, who are deter
mined not to vote for Blaine. They
are ready to vote the Democratic
ticket, if the Democrats present
man worthy of his support. They
are now waiting with interest to see
if the party will have the wisdom to
take this very sensible course.-N.

the two old farmers were right well 40

looked like a merchant came in, and was sur
