A Dissatisfied Democrat.

We have already announced tho fact that
Mr.. EDWARD +. MCDONALD Of New Jersey
has refused to stand as O candidate for q
CLEVELAND elector after he had been Sc
lected for that post by the Democratic State
Convention. He refuses for the same
reason that other Democrats offer
port GROVER CLEVELAND: and In the
course Of his refusal he makes an interesting
criticism upon Mr.. CLEvELAND's letter Of
acceptance. " He bids for the laborers' vote"
says Mr.. MCDONALD, and speaks OF the
'laboring classes There are no classes in
this country, thank GOD, and no man of
brains, much less one syinpathizing with the
laboring masses, could have used such
term"
One difficulty with Mr.. CLEVELAND ap-
pears to be that he has not sufficiently
studied the pages OF THE Sun. Had he Pc
rused this journal with due attention during
the time when he was Sheriff OF Erie county,
and Mayor and Governor he would have had
burned in upon his mind, In characters OF sun
light, the truth enunciated SO vigorous
ly by Mr.. MCDONALD: "There are no
classes in this country, thank GOD"
Moreover. II Mr.. CLEVELAND had studied
THE Sun, as he ought to have done, he
would have been instructed long ago that no
sensible politician and no aspirant for high
distinction in this republic will ever allow
himself to admit into his mind the dan
gerous delusion that this Is u land Of classes
and OF caste.
In whatever aspect we view him, GROVER
CLEvELANDts not q suitable man for Presi-
dent OF the United States.
Laboring classes, forsooth!
