Boston Transcript: These banaAnna
handkerchiefs will be handy for Demo
cratic tears after election.
Philadelphia LnQwirer: st. Louis
platform in concise form: We favor
the Cleveland idea-free trade and the
Offices"
Omaha Republican: It is hardly
fair to charge all Cleveland's success
to luck. Gall is entitled to some Of
the credit.
Brooklyn Times: The red bandanna
is very properly selected a. the Demo-
cratic emblem. It's made in England.
you know!
Philadelphia Press: Grover Ceve-
land is an Opportunity and. Judge
Thurman is Reminiscence-and they
aren't going to happen this year.
Peoria Transcript: The Democratic
party is the only party in the history
of the world that has gone into . can
vass for q collar and q handkerchief.
Chicago Tribune: Humans nomi-
nation will not have been wholly in
vain if it be the means of teaching an
occasional Democrat how to use hand
kerchief.
Detroit Tribune: Mr.. Cleveland
doesn't want any Union soldier to run
on his ticket. Neither do the Southern
brigadiers who are running this Admin
istratiOn.
Chicago Mail: No. the Democrats do
not really expect to carry Ohio this
year. Ohio is solidly Republican
State. as reliably so in Presidential
years as Iowa. Illinois or Minnesota.
Indianapolis Journal: The Gray fac
ton of the Indiana Democracy is sore.
and there is reason to suspect that il
will not recover in time to do any ef.
fective work for Cleveland and Thur
man.
Chicago Journal: The ticket, Grover
Cleveland for President and Allen G.
Thurman for Vice-President. is like
hitching an ungainly elephant and a
wOrn-out old pacing nag together for
the Derby race.
st. Louis Globe Democrat: Those phi
lOsophers who are searching for an ex-
PLANTATION of the want Of enthusiasm in
the st. Louis convention should not
fail to take account of the fact that the
returns Of the Oregon election were re-
ceived while said body was in session.
Cleveland Leader: But this is not the
end. An appeal lies from Caesar drunk
with power to the people sober. They
have the veto upon any further extern
sion of the Cleveland autocracy. We
do not believe the Democrats will carry
single Northern State for Grover
Cleveland.
Toledo Blade: The National DemOc-
racy are going into this years fight
with snufY-stained handkerchief for a
banner. The Republicans prefer to
march under the Stars and Stripes.
The one represents an old mans weak
ness; the other the power and majesty
Of a mighty Nation.
st. Paul PiOneer-P Press: Mr.. Cleveland
needs something more than good luck
and Renaissance to carry him to a
second victory. The ticket which Dem
Ocrats have nominated and by which
they must now abide is one that can be
beaten. to certainty, by Republican
candidates chosen with a view to party
harmony, and to strength. confidence
and popularity that are National in
stead Of local.
San Francisco Argonaut Qnd.): We
thought Mr.. Cleveland was making a
very good President. He had done but
few things that, in our judgment, de-
served censure. But when the lust of
ambition made him forget his promise
not to seek reelection. and the fear OF
not being renominated threw him into
the hands of the politicians of his party,
he lost his courage, he lost his honor,
and unless his demagogy can save him.
he will lose the Presidency.
