Nevada County picayune., 1890-03-19

ID years, ana my liTll mas HlaUe money every year until within the last four. We agitators de not wish to make trouble in this country, but we do desire to change our condition by legislation, if possible, and every agricultural State in the Union is similarly situated.'
 Il said to the Judge: You speak of having only suffered loss during the last four years. That seems tc be a reflection upon Mr. Cleveland $ administration.
 Not bit of it., he answered. All that MT. Cleveland said upon the subject of tariff reform was ab- solutely true, and we farmers of the West worship him for it. The trouble during his administration was that Congress failed to carry out his poli- cy, and the present Congress, it is needless to say, will pursue a like course.
 II have repeated the words of two of the most prominent men in my State simply to give an indication of the feeling in one section of the country upon an important public 1 question" continued Col. Hickey "and the radical character of the views which they contain may carry a note of alarm to men of the East. :"
 II judge then, Col. Hickey, that your choice as the next Democratic Presidential nominee is Mir, Cleve- land?"
 Without a doubt" he answered most positively; "Cleveland is my choice above all other men,"
 What you do think of Gov. HiIl' $ chances for the nomination =
 The reply came back quick and li.ry: "The Democratic party to- day would rather have Cleveland for its standard-bearcr in 1892 and lose than have David B. Hill and sue cecd."
 Then you think Cleveland will | surely be nominated -
 No, l do not say do. simply say he is my choice and l have made a wager upon his chances more as a matter of sentiment than as a belief. am honestly of the opinion that he will have a certainty of obtaining the nomination and will decline it. A conversation l have had with him leads me to that conclusion He is we'll established here as a member of a great law firm. He can not add to his fame or reputation by another occupancy of the White House. He is to-day the foremost man of the nation. Another election to the Presidency would mean four years of toll and possible mistakes; four years in which a aspotless record might be marrcd by the chances of public life"
 "Well, if Mir. Cleveland should re- fuse to be the Democratic standard bearer and MT. Hill is not in the procession, who will carry the colors:"
 Next to Mir. Cleveland in the popular heart and mind," answered Col. Hickey, lis William C. Whit ney. All the prominent Democrats of the West with whom l have talked are of the same opinion and agree with my belief that he will be the nominee of the Democratic National Convention of 1892. He was the most energetic, the most intelligent, the most sensible and the most popu- lar member of Mir. Cleveland's Cabi- net. His administration of the Navy Department was not only unsurpass- ably clean, but it was patriotic, and his connection with the Samoan diff iicuty cemented the affection for him of all good Americans. These unde- niable facts leave his character and standing beyond question. Unless am mistaken about Mir, Cleveland's not desiring q rcnomina- ton, it strikes me that Wm. C. Whit. ney will be the Democratic candidate in 1892, and with the enthusiastic support of the Young Democracy and bearing the flag of tariff reform which Mir. Cleveland unfurled, Dem ocratic success is assured. "- St, Louis Republic.
