UP FOR CLEVELAND.
Leading Independent Journals aud
Voters OF New York in His Favor.

New YORK, July Eff anyone en-.
tertained doubts that Gov. Cleveland
would carry New York they would be
dispelled by the enthusiasm mani
tested through the state and among
the business men of the city. He is
warmly supported by the Herald,
World, sun and the Times, to say
nothing of papers of less Importance.
The Tribune opposes him very
tamely and seems dispirited. The
Herald to-day says; The Herald puts
at the head of its columns the Demo-
cratic ticket for president and vice
president of the United States. We
congratulate the Democratic party
upon the work of its convention at
Chicago and the opportunity it affords
to the American people through a
union of patriotic voters by whatever
name they call themselves, Dem
tacrats, Independents, labor reform
ers, or whatever else, to redeem the
country from the disgrace and peril to
which the ~Gepublican party has
plotted to expose II ~ thoroughly
bad nomination of Blaine and Logan.
| Cleveland's easy nomination on the
second ballot yesterday justifies all we
have thought and said OF the sound
judgment and good sense of the con-
vention when put to the test of choos-
ing between what is sound, vital and
vigorous in the Democracy and what
Is very much the other way. The con,
vention Is to be congratulated upon the
Tact that II has named the man who
| Will he the next president. Parties in
this country are to-day at the turning
point In their history, and il is for the
Democracy, If IT hopes to impress its
convictions upon the life of the nation,
10 take this turn in the tides al its
happy moment, or it must remain
stranded with the wrecks of the past
not over respectable history. The
nomination of Cleveland means that
the young Democracy is determined
TO take the tide at its Hood We be.
lieve also that 1t Is II nomination which
will command the approval of the
aged and sagacious as well MS the
enthusiasm of the vigorous aud
youthful.
| SENTIMENT OF THE TIMES.
The Times says: with Grover
Cleveland as its candidate, the Demo
cratic party appeals with unmistaka.
Die directness to the moral sense of tn,
!, people of the United States as follows
/ "Shall the next president be a mar
; who mas weakly yielded to temptation
, or man who has nm
swervingly adhered to right against
powerful enticements to do wrong?
, "A man who begs pecuniary reward,
OF those his official actions have an
riched, or one who defies corrupt die
tation and seeks by just courses to de
serve the approval of right thinkinf
men?
"A candidate attacked, impeacbed
5 painted and besmirched all over or
, candidate beyond reproach;a Grove
, Cleveland, whom honest men respect
or James Blaine, whom rogues love.
