WHAT CI.EYELANDs NOMINATION.
MEANS.

The nomination of CLEVELAND signifies
that the Democratic party is keeping step
with the onward march Of this progressive
age. 1t has lifted itself out Of the old rutS.
1t puts behind it the past and its issues, and
turning its face to the front with the
strength of its young manhood, will deal
steady blows for honest government and
administrative reform. With CLEVELAND
for its standard bearer it is the party for
the young men Of the Nation to fix
their hopes upon. He is the leader
of q liberal progression that BODIES
great things for our young Republic. The
day Of his election to the Presidency will
be the day Of triumph for ideas and princi-
pies that viii ensure not only prosperity to
the country, but the continued advance Of
the tide of power and influence whichis ele-
waiting eur land to such a proud place in
the galaxy of nations. The Ameucan peo-
pie cannot afford to defeat Governor Cleye-
LAND. To do so would be to turn back the
hands upon the dial Of our national great
ness. He is the representative Of the Purest,
most independent most liberal and the
noblest elements Of our political hte.
To defeat biu would signify that
We are ready 20 enter upon that career Of
corruption which 50 unerringly points to
the decay Of all Republicans, With the
issue Of moral parity so clearly defined in
the persons a4i records of the two opposing
candidates, the election OF BLAINE and the
defeat of CLEVELAND would be the most
fatal blow ever struck at our system OF
government. There is no interest which
feels an attachment for our Demo
,eyatic institutions of free govern
n1ent apd which feels q pride in
their maintenance can for one mo-
ment contemplate the success of the Repub-
.Ecan party in the national contest this year
,without apprehension Of evil things to tOl-
3 bow. They can. look forward, however, to
,thc election Of Cleveland with satisfaction
for it means strength integrity, and pro-
gressioa in all thar tends to parity govern
