the national convocation of the democ-
racy invites the man whom Butler
hates instinctively as different style
of politician from himself, and Kelly
denOunces for the blow he struck for
true democracy against Tammany, to
the highest honOrs within its bestowal.
/ Boston Transcript, rep.
All that malignity aud vituperation
could bring to bear against the nOmi-
nation of Gov. Cleveland was employed
by Tammany in just the same manner
as that notorious organization did with
Tilden eight years ago. The result
was the same in both instances, and it
may be expected that the parallel will
be carried out on the day of election
All respectable citizens will rejoice at
the ignOminious defeat of Kelly and
his coyotes, not forgetting the political
of Cleveland will attract the hearty
support of the independent republi-
cans to the democratic ticket n. Y.

Grover Cleveland will be supported
by united and aggressive democratic
party. He will have the votes of tens
of thousands of Independent republi-
cans. He will have the support of the
larger part of the successful newspa-
pers of the country, both secular and
religious. He will have the confidence
and votes of the business men of the
land. 1t will be shown that this poor
boy who has worked his way up to the
proud position which he now holds,

day out, and that he is n true friend of
the toiling masses. 1t will be demon
strated in a thousand ways that he is
the man upon whom all the opposition
of Mr.. Blaine can best be concentrated.
1t will be shown that Grover Cleveland
will be elected Boston Globe, Dem.
We need say nothing in a general
way of the candidate ; for the pages of
the Currier from day to day are his
record, and his qualities are with its
readers familiar theme. He has be-
hind him the prestige of success and
before him the promise of victory and
the good city whose favorite son he is

him. Courier of Buffalo, Cleveland's

private character. He is "a small man

Destitute of experience in national af
fairs, or knowledge of men outside of
New York, he would he sure to be used
by tricksters, as he has been in this

The nomination of Cleveland will
spur the anti-Blaine republicans here
and elsewhere to fresh activity. They
have no idea of merging their organic
alton with the democratic, or of allow
ing it to lapse rs unnecessary because
the democrats have nominated Il can
didat whom the independent voters
can support. 1t is the purpose of their
movement to give shape and emphasis

Let there be IN opportunity offered
to the people for change of parties of
such kind that the voters must give
up all idea Il general distribution of the
offices among their adherants, and the
people will .joyfully agree to it. The
nomination of Cleveland gives this
guaranty. His record as chief magis-
trate of ii large city, and great state,
has made him in the popular mind the
prototype of conscientious official,
in principal, and one who,
to the deep chagrin of professional pol
has always held the public in
terest paramount to party considera
tons. The nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land will make it advisable for the
Germans to join en- masse the demo-
cratic party. BY electing Cleveland to
the presidency we shall at the same
time sound the death-knell of Kelly's
boss ''regime." n. Y. Stats Reitung,

We do not take much stock in the
attempts of the republican papers to
show that our foreign voters will 90
for Mr.. Blaine. In the first place,
these republican papers have insulted
what they call the foreign voters times
without number. Now, in the vain
hope of securing some of their votes,
they are extremely complimentary to
men they earnestly despise. In the
second place, the men designated have
always righteously resented this con-
slant iteration of the statement that
they are foreigners. They are here to
stay. They are American citizens,
and are proud of the fact. Many of
them helped to fight our battles.
They believe in this home of the brave,
this land of the free, and are as proud
of and loyal to America as any of our
citizens. They are true as steel to the
democratic party and it's principles,
and see that only through their
triumph will American citizenship be
best protected, whether at home or
abroad Boston Globe, Dem.
