According 10 the special New York
correspondence Of THE TINES. the young
Democracy have secured control Ct
Tammany Hall. and that famous po-
litical organization will hereafter open
iv favor the nomination OF Grover
Cleveland as next President Of the
United States.
No man in the history Of this country
ever occupied 4 position at once so
unique and 30 fsttering as that at pres
ent occupied by the subject Of this ar
ticle. Heretofore it has been the irrevo-
cable rule for candidate for the
Presidency who has come before tie
people and been defeated to retire into
private life, at least to the extent Of
giving up all hopes OF having his high
,st ambition realized. But tits exactly
the reverse with Ex-President Cleve-
land. Though the defeated nominee Of
his party for reelection in 1888, he has
ever since his retirement from the high
Office which he filled for the four years
previous with such signal ability steadily
grown in public favor, and, almost by
common consent, is looked forward TO
az the standard bearer Of the Democracy
in the next National campaign.
The reasons for this are obvious. II
was n conceded fact that Cleveland
could easily have been his own success
sor if, after the usual manner Of politi-
clans. be had permitted policy to over
Iule his sense Of honesty and principle,
and declined TO advance the standard
Of tariff reform 20 the front. 1t was
his devotion to principle, and his act
ing on the maxim that lit is better to
be right than to be President, which
has excited universal admiration FOR
Mr.. Cleveland and caused him to COM
mand the respect even Of his political
enemies.
But this is not tho only cause Of Ar.
Clsvsland'S remarkable popularity. II
il well known that he received a large
majority Of the popular vote cast, and
that his minority opponent only sue
ceeded in capturing the Presidential
prize by the most fragrant corruption
and shameless prostitution of the BIZ
lot. There is a strong under-currenI
Of honesty among American voters
which causes them, even though they
may have desired the success Of the
party responsible for those disreputsble
acts, to despise the acts themselves. aud
to reprobate any such methods OF OBJ
tanning political power.
This is tho reason why Harrison lie 70
unpopular, and the people areso strong
ly inclined to class him in tho same
category with Rutherford b Hayes.
And these are the reasons why Grover
Cleveland is so phenomenally popular
and bids fair to be the triumphant lead
er Of the Democracy in the great Presi-
Dental contest of 1892.
