THE CLEVELAND BANQUET,


How Its success Has Affected the Dreams
Of Republican Leaders.
The dinner given by representative
Democrats OF New York to Mr.. Cleve-
land has disturbed the dreams Of a
number OF the Republican leaders.
Any evidence OF popular faith In the
ex-Prcsidcnt; any testimony TO the
value OF his public services; any pro-
test against the methods which govern
this Administration, arouses all man
ner OF bitterness among the gentlemen
who are asserting that the election OF
Mr.. Harrison means a new lease OF
power for twenty-five years.
But nothing il certain in politics.
Three years before the election OF Mr..
Cleveland President OF the United
States he was quiet, unassuming
citizen Of Buffalo. We have been told
that certain things can not be done be-
cause they have never been done. The
New York Sun says the Democrats
have never nominated defeated can
didatc. which would prove nothing II
IL were true. but 1t il not Andrew
jackson was defeated when first q can
didatc, and his defeat made his nomi-
nation certain.

porary will admit that Mr.. Tilden' :
failure TO secure the Presidency in
1876 did not justify the party in fail.

the nomination in 1892 can not be de

There Is time enough for such a de-

II is little too early to consider TIL
