Republicans; his counsel had led them, and

His broad and statesmau-like utterance had
long commanded the respect of the people-not
of New York alone, but wherever heard. AS
Chief Magistrate of the Republic his superb
abilities, his matehless executive equipment,
his thorough knowledge of affairs, his broad
comprehension of public interests and the ma
ton capacities, his perfect integrity, his lust
ness and consideration OF the rights of men, mis-
fidelity to Replb lean principles, would assure
an administration promotive of national devel-
opment and progress. If he were nominated
the republican party would not be compelled
to make defensive campaign. True, he was

THE POLITICAL SITUATION,
The only noticeable features of the political
situation were renewed confidence Gn the par.
OF Algers supporters and disappointment among
Shermans admirers. Alger's managers claimed
to have gained the Minnesota delegation dur
ing q night and TO have increased their vote
to the nels hborhood of 1856.

that the time was not distant when a por ion OF
the OHIO men would leave their candidate ana
seek new love.
The Blaine people sre delighted with the
adoption OF the report of the Committee on Gre

to stand by California's IS delegate.
The first thing in order to-day was naming The
members OF the National Committee.
AN OVATION TO MKINLEY.
Mr.. Warner of Missouri announced that the
Committee on Resolutions would report in ten
minutes, and after that time had been occupied
with music, Representative Mckinley of ONO,
Chairman OF the committee, appeared with the
resolutions in his hand. His appearance in the
hall elected applause, but when he mounted
the platform he was given an ovation, which
was as pronounced among delegates as among
the crowd in the galleries, and which lasted
some time. He read the platform in n clear
voice, being frequently interrupted by applause

american history does not point to the
reelection OF Mr.. Cleveland. No North
ern Democrat has been reelected to the
presidency, In 1910 Van Buren, was
unanimously renominated for a second
term and his prospects of victory were the
brightest possible.
The foregoing is a very fair sample of
the sort of political prophecy with which
the Republican papers are being deluged.
They overlook one very important circum-
stance, and that is that Cleveland has not
hitherto proven a very safe man TO Judge
by rules. The unexpected has happened
with alarming frequency in hls case. In
the last presidential campair m, when he was
confronted by a scandalous publication
which was calculated to seriously involve
him, he was asked by his friends what
they should do about it. He instantly
replied, Tell the truth" a rather un-
usual step for il politician to take at a
critical stage of the campaign. Prophe-
sizes fell thick and fast TOUR years ago, but
Cleveland got there Just the same. The
dose will be repeated next November.
