We'll, we should say 30.
Here are two points presented for the
consideration OF President elect Cleye-
land that the Akron City Times did not
present last week: they are, Grst, that
president elect Cleveland owes his nom
inatlon TO the Presidency to Ohio DEM
ocratsi and, second, no owes his election

that the OHIO Democracy made In the
campaign. In other words, II II had
not been for the Ohio Democrats, Grover
Cleveland would simply be Governor of
New York to-day, and not President Of
OF the United States: and yet We are told
mat II wontdo for President, elect Cleye-
lana to recognize his Ohio friends who
assured his nomination and election In
