WHAT THE PARERS SAY.

"Well, the convention has nominated Gro.
yer Cleveland, and now the question will
be whether he or Blaine is to be elected.
We have had our own opinion. but per-
haps there was some. mistake about it. We
shall live and learn, we hope. The ques-
tion may be somewhat complicated by the
running Of third candidate or it may not.
AS to this point the decision will rest with
General Butler. Meanwhile the course for
those who cannot be jealous for a candidate
like Cleveland, yet do not want Blaine for
President, is something to be determined
by the judgment and conscience of the
citizen. It is true, this is not considera-
ton that leads to much enthusiasm and no
one can be very eficacous in an election
where he is actuated by conscientious
sense of duty alone. But it will influence
the votes Of many, no doubt, while there
will be others who will reason that Mr..
entire independence of his party, and
besides this is graf year for bolting."
The Boston Herald, independent Repub-
lican, says: SIN nominating Governor
Cleveland for President the Democratic
party has displayed the wisdom of its op-
portunity, as the Republican party in nomi-
mating Mr.. Blaine manifested the audacity
of it's desires. There are corrupt and danger
Gus elements in both parties In the Re
publican party they have at last prevailed
In the Democratic party they have been
by it's tail, the Democratic party byits head
With a reform candidate nominated by the
Democratic party solely because he is and
has always been reformer and is accepta-
BILE to the reform voters, it looks like the
beginning of practical reorganization of
parties. It certainly looks like the begin
ming of the end of the Republican party as
at present organized and led. On the whole,
change is desirable. We take it as rea-
sonably certain that Governor Cleveland
will be elected. The independent voters
will all support him. The revolted Repub-
licans have named linn as the one Demo-
crat for whom they could vote. If his own
party does not support him Loyalty, it will
be evidence that its time has come to die.
The Democracy at last deserves success"
The staunch and typical New England
Republican organ, the Springfield, Mass,
Republican, says: The nomination of this
ticket gives the Democracy an even chance
Of carrying the country: They have sound
have to contend with more or less detection
to Butler and Kelly, but the total absence
of real grievances on the part Of the latter
and the prospect of success if harmony pre-
walls will tend 10 solidify the party vote in
New York. On the other hand, the Inde-
pendent VOTE, which the nomination of
Blaine has lost the Republican ticket, will
be cast for Cleveland The Independents
will put up no third candidate, but will
heartily support Cleveland and Hendricks:
The Democratic nominations therefore stand
an even chance of carrying the states OF
New York, Connecticut and New Jersey,
which at present are in Democratic hands,
but the campaign will be fiercely contested
on both sides and we apprehend thatthe use
Of money will be unstinted and will be car
ried to an alarming degree.
The New York Herald raises the ticket
of Cleveland and Hendricks to its mast head,
and says: The Herald puts at the head
of it's columns the Democratic ticket for
President and President of the United
States. We congratulate the Democratic
party upon the work of it's convention at
Chicago and the opportunity it offers to the
American people, through union of patrl-.
otic voters, by whatever name they call
themselves democrats, independents, Ia
Dor refOrmers or whatsoever elSe-tO re-
deem the country from the disgrace and
peril to which the Republican party has
plotted to expose it by the thoroughly bad
nominations of Blaine and Logan. Parties
in this country are to-day at turning
point in their history, and it is for the De-
mocracy, if it hopes to Impress its con-
victions upon the life of the nation, to take
this turn in the tide of its happy moment
or it must remain stranded with the wrecks
of it's 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
a nomination which will command the ap-
proval of the aged and sagacious as well as
the enthusiasm of the vigorous and youthful
The New York Times says: Favored as he
is by the right-thinking elements Of both
the Democratic and Republican parties, it
is noteworthy and potent advantage to
Grover Cleveland as q candidate, that he
has incurred the bitter hostility of the
worthless, disreputable and dangerous men,
bers of his own party. Tammany hates
him. Butler sees no good in him. Could a
candidate find stronger recommendation
than this in the opinion of voters whose po-
litical action is shaped solely by cOnsidera-
tions of public welfare? The official acts
which have won for Governor Cleveland the
intense hostility of Tanlmany are the very
acts which have most strongly commenced
him to the support of the independent Re-
publicans. The favor of these two classes,
tingent within the Democratic party, and OF
men with whom plain common sense and
the most ordinary form of political honesty
are controlling influences, no one man, be
he ever SO skillfui in the art OF balancing,
can hope or wish to possess. Grover Cleve-
land had not been one month in office as
Governor of the State of New York, before
he had decided in his own MIND, ana had
made plain to all observers, that his official
action was to be guided solely by his own in
telligent Judgment of what the public inter
est demanded. And that is above all, the
safe and the saving policy for President OF
the United States. No Democrat with whom
patriotism is not subordinated to private
grudges will withhold his vote from Grover
Cleveland. OF Republicans, those who are
entirely satisfied that Blaine and Logan
faithfully represent the principles upon
