CLEVELAND IN THE RACE.

A will be seen by a late press dis patch, wa.ch We copy in fuil below, Grover Cleveland, the great tariff re- form leader, now says he is willing to make the race for President in 1sg2. If the Democratic nominating convention was held now he would become our standard bearer, without doubt. The special is pointed and Interesting, and We give it without further comment;
 NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-Since MT. Clcyclaad returned from the Thur man banquet he has said to many friends who have called upon him that it was perfectly apparent to him thai the masses in the West were not only in sympathy with the position he took in his celebrated tariff mes sage, but were also apparently de- tcruinca that he should lead them in the contest in lS92.
 Never before has Mir. Cleveland manifested any particular interest in his own political fortunes, but now it is observed that he speaks with free dom not only of the general situa- ton, but of his approaching candi- dacy.
 .IIe makes no secret of his will ingncss to again lead his party and is superbly confident that he will be selected, whatever the machuations of New York politicians are.
 "Thc recent elections are sad to have wrought a great change in the eX- President $ mind.

We will soon have to hold a special election for an Associate Justice Of the Supreme Court, to fill the vacan- cy occasioncd by the death of Judge Sandcls. and in looking over the State for q suitable man for the posi- ton, The Press can find no one that it is so much inclined to favor as Judge C. P. Smootc. Judge SmOotc made a good race year ago last spring, and Tn a gallant speech, for the sake of harmony, withdrew his name from before the convention. He has always been faithful and jealous worker in the cause of Democracy. He is as well qualified for the place as any man in the State, and he deserves the rec0gni- ton at the hands of his party. The Press would be glad to see him offer for the vacancy, and we would bC doubly glad to see him elected
