LONDON, England, July 12.-The Duly Ne'os,
commenting upon the nomination of Cleveland
says "Americas foreign relations will be safer
in Cleveland's hands than in those OF Blame.
The latter represents the American lingo
party, which like the same party here, makes up
in audacity and v0lubility for lack Of number.
AS President, Cleveland would cultivate quie
tude abroad and peace at home. If elected, he
will be chosen on the ground that he will more
worthily represent the probty, good sense and
studied moderation of the American people than
Blame"

A memorable chapter in history has
been made within week past. 1t is the
record of one of the most important po-
litical events that has occurred in Amer
lea, the assembling of the Democratic
people by their delegates in convention
in the year 1884. That assemblage was
the heart of the nation, fed by the arteries
that reached through the body polite of
States from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
1t throbbed almost madly with the noble
impulses that go to make up the sum of
patriotism-love of country and indigna-
ton against those who wrong that coun-
try. 1t was called convention of the
Democracy, the meeting of a political
party, but it was more properly the in
dignant people in council, and wrought
to sublime fury of enthusiasm by the
energy of their opposition to the central
lied governmental authority which usurps
the place of the republican institutions of
the fathers of the republic The abstract
of proceedings which we publish to-day
informs as to the business, but does not
convey the impression of the convention
with its membership of noted men from
every State Of the Union-the eloquent
speeches storms Of applause-the
overmastering excitement that swayed
the multitude. The spirit of the occasion
kindled the fires of patriotism to ardent
glow, and the peoples delegates felt as
an army ready to do battle for their coun-
try and needing only captains of their
host to lead them to victory-men to COM
mand who stood above their fellows,
titans in the politics of the land. And
so it was that with loud acclaim they
chose Cleveland and Hendricks to lead
the army of the people in this campaign
which shall end in the overthrow of the
party that sustains the corrupt power at
Washington This will lend all the ma
chinery of the government with its hun
dred thousand employees to aid the tat
tooed representative Of its sectionalism
and it's corruption, but it will not avail,
for the mighty hosts of the people will
overwhelm the enemy, even as with a
"tidal wave" majority Governor Cleve-
land swept over and flooded under the re-
publican party Of New York. What he
did in the Empire State" he will do
again in the States of the empire of the
Great Republic"

He thought the policemen we're In earnest

opinion was sent to the Postmaster. General
