President Cleveland has already renom-
mated himself. He is a man of destiny.
and he will do as men of destiny do The
Democratic nomination is his by right of
conquest, and he will not condeScend to
receive it from any hands but his own.
Well, let it be so. This is a self-made
country. and it is natural that it should
fall down before a Self-made man. But
was there ever so thoroughly self-made a
man as Grover Cleveland l.? We think
not.

In my dispatches from Buffalo 1 spoke
of another string to Mr.. Platt's kite which
may sail high before the struggle is
over. Levi Morton is Mr.. Platt's friend
Mr.. Merton is now an exceedingly popu-
lar man in New York, is willing to run
for VicePresident. Some time ago Nor
ton was looked upon by many as a mere
mOneybags, getting into politics with his
check-boOk, but he is now really and de-
servedly popular. Running on a ticket
with Gresham he would be strong in New
FORK. He would bring unlimited finan-
cial backing to the party, and win favor
IN corporate, fiscal, and commercial cir
cles.

1t is alleged by enthusiastic supporters
of Mr.. Blaine that his strength will be
greatly increased on the second ballot;
that some of Sherman's votes, some of
Gresham's, some of Harrison's, and some
of Allison's will go over to him. so that
on the second ballot he will have 4S9 votes.
or IS more than the number required to
nominate.
On the other hand, it must not be for
gotten that the strength of these various
candidates has been built up and organi-
Zed on the assumption that Mr.. Blaine an
nounced fixed and Interchangeable pur-
pose in his Florence letter; and when it
is proposed to the mass of Sherman's,
Gresham'S, Alger's, and Rusk's support
erS that they shall go over to Blaine and
make him the candidate of the COnven-
ton, very earnest and uncompromiSing
opposition is quite certain to be devel-
Oped.

Sherman's Presidential boom, in the
opinion of leading politicians here, is rap
idly growing in strength. Within the last
few days Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania,
who is now regarded as the leader of his
party in that State and a stronger man
than Cameron, has come out for Sherman,
and says that he will support him at the
Chicago Convention. It is probable that
Sherman will also have Cameron'S sup
port, although the latter is not delegate
Senator Quay can control at least ma
jOrity of the Pennsylvania delegation, and
he would not have declared himself for
Sherman had he not been perfectly sure
of his position.
Information has been received here
from New York that thirty-four out of
the seventy-two delegates from that State
will vote for Sherman under the leader
ship of ex-senator Warner Miller.

The Democracy has nothing to gain
from Morrison, of Illinois, or Gray, of In
diana. 1t has much to hope from Thur |
man of the Democracy His is name to
conjure with.
That Thurman does not want the bar |
ren honor of the Vice Presidency is not |
fatal objection to the use of his name
Hendricks did not aspire to the place that |
gave him few duties and no honOrS. That |
he is not an Indianian counts for nothing,
for the reputation of Thurman of the
Democracy is not confined within the lin
its of bailiwick but is broad as the ma
ton itself, and his nomination will call
out every old-tlme party man from Mount
Desert to San Diego.
No time to fool with minnOwS in the

While HGrper's Weekly is shifting to
the effect that Cleveland's administration,
while not absolutely perfect, is a very
sweet thing, and the New York E0eniiag
Post is publishing the Presidents utter
ances from time to time about the beati-
tudes of good government, and assuming
that he may have thought he meant some
thing some time by his tawdry and infa-
ted commonplace, the Democratic Con-
ventiOns throughout the country are in
fuenced for a second term of Cleveland
(which he denounced in his letter of ac-
ceptance) by gangs of strikers who are
Federal Office-holderS and made so as
workers of the party. Here is the list in
