The now famous interview with Mr.. Calvin
8. Brice, chairman of the Democratic national
campaign committee. has had the effect OF dis
closing the conflict between the men who are
responsible for the success OF Mr.. Clevelard's
campaign and Mr.. Cleveland himself. The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times, which is earnestly supporting Mr.. Cievo-
land, says that 'those familiar with the facts in
the case. aud with Some recent private utter
ings. know full we'll that the Brice interview is
correct in every particular. ard thst sit was
written from a feeling that q publication might
arouse the leaders Of the Democratic party"
This is the situation of the Democratic cam
paien, as it stands exposed and confessed by the
leaders and organs of that campaign to-day.
The Democratic a mpaign managers sea clearly
that the President must in some way allay the
popular Apprehensions justly aroused by bis

feel sure OF their reward, In case OF success, or

We appeal 70 the intelligent and conscientious
Democrats whether there 10 not all the differ
ence between the two campaigus-as confessed
by the Democratic managers and stated by Gen
