The Independent Press Enthusiastic for
Cleveland.
From The New York Ucraid.
The Herald puts ut the head of its
columns the Democratic ticket for Pres
ident and Vice. President of the United
States. We congratulate the Democratic
party upon the work of its Convention
at Chicago and the opportunity it offers
to the American people, through union
of patriotic voters, by whatever name
they cali themselves Democrats, Inds-
penden!s, labor reformers or whatsoever
eise--tO redeem the country from tha
disgrace and peril to which the Republi-
can party has plotted to expose it by the
thoroughly bad nominations of Blaine
and Logan.
Parties in this country are to day at q
turning point in their history, and it is
for the Democracy, if it hopes to impress
its convictions upon the life of the ma
ton, to lake this turn in the tide of its
happy moment or it must remain stranded
with the wrecks of it's past not over-re.
spectacle history. The nomination OF
Cleveland means that the young Demo.
cracy 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 we'll
rs the enthusiasm Of the vigorous and
youthful.
This is the vital political element OF
our day and Of the immediate future,
and this is the element which Kelly and
Butler met for the first time in the Chi.
cago Convention. 1t was an element
not to be brow beaten by coarse and
brutal Tammany bully, nor led by the
nose by drivelling old Polonius Of po.
lilical antiquity. This element had its
way in the Convention, and we believe
that it will have its way in the country.
With an intuitive perception Of the first
need of vigorous party, it has chosen
the right sort of standard bearer, and
on election day the people wiN be ariM it.
From The New York Times.
With Grover Cleveland as its candidate
the Democratic party appeals with un.
mistakable directness to the moral sense
of the people of the United States.
Shall the next President be man who
has weakly yielded to temptation, or a
man who has unswervingly adhered to
the right against powerful enticements to
do wrong2 a man who begs pecuniary
rewards of those his official action has
enriched, or one who defies corrupt die.

administrative ability. He ought to be

From The Nc,c York Stdats. zeitung.
1t cannot be honestly denied that
change of parties in office, brought about
without revolution, can only have a
wholesome effecs. No party can contin.
ue long, uninterrupted possession of
power without becoming prey to cor.
ruption. Mr.. Cleveland will certainly
use the whole power of the Presidential
Office to purify the Federal service, and
to keep It pure, and this, above all, is
expected by the people of the President.
Wherever corruption has taken root he
will not, as would be the case with
Republican President, have to exercise
leniency, and he will take proper precau.
tions in order that the corruption may
not be continued under the Democratic
regime No earthly power will be able
to induce him t. let corrup,ionists use
the influence of his high office.
As regards the East, we are of The
opinion that New York is absolutely
sure for Cleveland, and here his triumph
will have the wholesome effect of de.
stroying, for some time at least, the evil
power of the treacherous Tammany
crew. Never bas a political ring been

Although we could not expect from the

Democratic party that it would, for con.
