teFphse. He has seen its population almost
doubled within the past twenty years. He has

against the competition of European pauper
1Abor; the reform Of the civil service-on all
Of thee0 trying issues the American people
hayo bssn compelled to assert their manhood,
Where has Grover Cleveland stood: -Whathas
b been? Al . citizen up to the time he was
olectod mayor, the man was almost . nonenti-
y. There 10 not an institution devoted to the
dfy's progress in industrial development, in
naes.tA resources, in literature, arr, public
nssality, with which Grover Cleveland has been
80 rsmote!y identified, or to which he ever
SAye the slightest encouragement Selfish and
he has devoted himself to his
private business without the faintest demon-
1tTation Of public spirit Prior to the time
vhen peculiar condition Of things suggested
him - an available candidate for mayor, his
nene would not have been mentioned with the
afty leading men in Buffalo. As for social po-
sition, whatever difference OF opinions may
exist as to the depraved character
Qf C!evelsnds associates, no ono will claim
That he had ever been seen dozen times in
respectable parlors in the city Of Buffalo, or
.yated women Il he could avoid it As for
ClevelAnd's opinions upon great national is
suss, q for his views upon questions that will
PINT patriotism and Craftsmanship to the test
" he has any, they have been just those that
any man might have who "takes the Demo-
ssai s ticket strai l every time" it has made
might nominate, or upon what platform
The candidates were presented You could
count ON him to vote with the "boys"
livery time. Little importance has been
attached e his, private political utter
ances; and there has not been public utter
nncs Of his on national issues worth recording.
Ard this has been the social and political train
- Of the man now presented by the Demo-
.cZAftc party for election to the highest Office
Ntthin the gift Of the people Of the United
6Atn! In the excitement Of the mo-
WeaS The Republicans Of Buffalo deserted their
own candidate to make Cleveland Mayor. In
tAe heat Of factional animoslty, under an er-
rone0ns idea that it would do the party good
70 subject Il to the process of self chasse ment
~ delnded BY the plea that Cleveland was
'ehD special prophet aud champion of ''indepen-
demo-" and s'refOm," the Republicans Of
New York elected him Governor. They have
I'D time TO know him better: they have had
opportunity for more political reflection. Now
fhat tley are called upon to make this man
y Malone Chief Magistrate. they do not
plrpQse to have hand in such nonsense Here
q Bu1alo Cleveland is best known, and lie il
knoWn to b. what We have described him.
Haaee IL ID that in the very city where he was
Sk0ctsd mayor there is not one Republican of
any prominence who has declared an intention
tovots for him for President Nine tenths of
~ sindependents" are actively at work for
RlAine and Logan And in western New York,
Witch did 20 much to help his ''boomD for
Governor, not leading Republican is on
