will and must be consulted in arranging
the platform upon which the battle Of
1888 must be fought by the democracy.
1t will be morally impossible for the
democracy to accept Cleveland and re-
ject the platform he has laid down for
them. Handicapped thus, the party
will be worse of than the republicans
with the mugwump fire in the rear.
There ia this much, also, to be
said for the republican side Of
the case; the mugwumps may
bolt Democracy, seeing how every
democratic pledge has been violated and
every promise of reform broken by Mr.
Cleveland. The proper candidate adj
vanced by the republican party may
harmonic the disaffected OF four years
ago and thus insure republican victory
beyond any peradventure. There is at
least this much hope in the republican
stu alton, but there is none In the demo-
cratic condition. There is only the GER
tainty of matters growing continually
worse. A defensive campaign Is before
the party of the administration and they
have no defense to make. November
looms ominously before the party OF free
trade, and its own journals are Its pro-
phets OF disaster.

NEW YORK NOT SERENE.

While New York republicans may
sense danger from mugwump defections
and the fire in the rear which they keep
up on the advancing hosts of the party
they have betrayed, all is not exactly
serene In the democratic camp. 1t is
true, the overwhelming force OF the ad-
ministration patronage in New York
City and state may have silenced the
opposition OF Hill and left no democratic
dog to wag his tongue at Cleveland, hut
the situation is not relished all the same.
The New York Sun and the New York
World are alike hostile to Cleveland and
his policy. These journals both pre-.
sage defeat and disaster to The cause Of
the democracy through the influence of
the presidents free trade theories upon
the country.
The Sun goes into details to show
that especially In New York free trade
campaign will be fraught with immi-
nent danger to the democracy; and, if
not free trade pure and simple, that the
same result will follow the conduct of a
campaign which, If it accepts Cleveland
as candidate, must accept his theories of
tariff revision. This is the stick with
the democracy today. If does not love,
respect or confide in Cleveland, and vet
Is compelled to accept OF his candidacy
as the only available one. 1t were bad
enough to accept a candidate unpopular
with the old stalwarts of the party; but.
to be compelled to accept a candidate
whom the party leaders despise, and at
the same time accept platform
which this enforced candidate has
himself drawn up for the party
staggers even the faith and patience of
democracy itself and disheartens its
leaders. lt is notorious that Cleveland
is not trusted by the democratic leaders.
1t is notorious that the leading journals
Of the party In New York and Indiana
deprecate the issue which the president
has forced upon the party. Thew
believe that the democracy must fight a
losing fight under tue banners of free
trade or such tariff revision as threatens
the very existence Of American indust-
riss and yet they see no posi-
billty of escape. The Sun shows that
the iron, wool and wood industries of
the empire state pay out in wages
$75,OOO,0O0 per annum, and employ an
army Of 100000 votes and yet these in
dustries are threatened by the free
trade and tariff revision schemes of
the president. The operatives In New
York are only small portion OF the
Immense army Of operatives in all
manufacturing sections of the union
opposed to the decisions of free trade
and scheme Of tariff that will cripple
American industries and lessen the
wages OF American worklngmen. The
Sun and the World raise their warning
voices in vain. The democracy is not
IN position to dictate terms to its promI-
nent and only candidate. Unfortunate
ly the candidate is greater than his
party and it is the will of the candidate.
