CURRENT PRESS OPINION.
Not with Cleveland.

It strfctty certain that Western and
Southwestern Democrats are not with Mr.,
Cleveland ON the silver question. The
Democrats Of the Illinois, House with the
aid of the Farmers votes have passed
free silver resolution. The Missouri
House declined to adopt resolution
ccnsuring the cX-Presidcnt for his views,
but hnstencd TO adopt one declaring that
free coinage would benefit the country,
The Speaker of the House, in an interview,
said that Cleveland had Killed himself,
and that the next Congress would pass
free coinage law. A Senator believed the
letter would cause q split in the party.
A Representative said that as an ex-Presi-
dent and as prospective candidate In
1892, he had made serious mistake. The
letter has caused much unrest in the
pnrty

LfEuTEYAYT-C COLONEL J.. l.. Polk Presi-

Gated and relcgated to the junk shop and

the polls close in 1899 perhaps the Lieu
tcnant-Coloncl and President of the n. f..

all party animosities.

From hhe LO0lsriNe CoyyjeT.Jo,UHdi.
The notion, founded ON General Sher-
mans aggressive methods and unsparing
activity, that he was an inconsideratc or
cruel man, did injustice to his real char
actcr He was man ovcrilowing with
generous sympathies. But. impulsivc
pugnacious, affectionate, choleric, as open
as the day, he often got into trouble and
put himself ut great disadvantage by
his ungarded freedom of speech. Those
who knew him well will always bear tcsti-
money to his lovable qualities; the soul OF
honor; born Democrat in his iinostenta-
tious fellowship with his fellow-mcn, and
one of the most delightful of companions
in all affairs, either of work or play. lie
was u close observer, possessed canuy
understanding of human nature, and had
acquired much of the lore of books.
The relations between him and his
friends were cordial to the last degree,
and with his family and kindred, charm
ing. In a word. General Sherman was
soldier of whom any nation might be
proud, and we record the tidings of his
death with regret, tempered by the
thought that, after long and brilliant
career, he leaves to his country renown
in the glory of which all who survive him,
Southcrners alike with Northerners, may
share. We were often opposed to him In
life. But in death there is nothing to
mar the respectful homage which we lay
upon the coffin that encases n true Ameri-
can, q valiant and successful General and
apatriot of many exalted virtues, public
and private.

We know Of no reason why this should
not happen, Mr.. Foster is man Of

reason why the plum should not fall to

Maryland's Candidate.

From tie NeD FORK San.
We take from Il Washington dispatch
printed by our esteemed contemporary,
the st. Louis Giobe- Democrat, an interest
ing piece of news:
Maryland will present the name of
Arthur u. German for the Presidential
nomination in the next National Conven-
tion. When Congressman Rusk of Mary
land was asked for his views upon Mr..
Cleveland's letter he begged to be excused.
He is the chairman of the Baltimore City
Committee and one of the party leaders.
When pressed to say something he eX-
planned that il would be improper, for the
reason that Maryland would present Mr..
Gorman's name to the National Conven-
ton. Mr.. German himself was asked for
an opinion upon the Cleveland letter. but
would say nothing
1t was inevitable that MARYLAND should
present Mr.. Gorman's name in the next
National Convention. She would have
precious little pride If she did not There
Will be, however, nothing local or pro-
vincial in his candidacy. lie has been
known to Maryland for many years as Il
wise, fertile and successful statesman, but
his services to the national Democracy
have been such that few if any of ITS
leaders have a better title or juster claim
to its rewards and Its honors. He is its
lcnuef Ill congress, ana IL Is not unjust To
his associates in that body to say that
since the death of Mr.. Randall he has
shown himself its ablest and longest par
liamentary head. knowledge tact, pa
tiencc, unbending courage and consum
mate skill were shown in his fight against
the Force bill, and the Democracy admires
him and trusts in him.
Whether or not he ever comes to be
President his qualifications for that post
are high and evident, and it will be the
duty of the Maryland Democrats to show
that they are proud of their chief and
representative. Arthur Pue German Is an
obedient follower, and therefore success
full leader of the Democracy. There is no
blotch of Mugwumpery on him. He is
clear and clean, Il Democrat through and
through and ont and out.
1t is natural that Mr.. German should
be too polite to talk to reporter about
Grover Cleveland's unintentional suicide.
Mr., German did as much as any man to
| elect Mr.. Cleveland in 1881. He cannot
but be glad that the fruitess labor of
| 1855 is not to be repeated. But he is al
| ways diplomatic, urbanc and amiable.
He will not trample upon fallen idol al
| though II never was an idol of his.

WiTn All PROPER RESPECT for Repre-
sentative RusR of Maryland, We venture
Ia suggest that he cannot predict with alb
solutc accuracy the action of the Mary
land delegation in the National Demo-
cratic Convention of next year. It is very
proper in him to say, as Mr.. GoRNAS's
friend, that the latter is not in training
for the nomination. ITecould not do less
without manifest injustice to Mr.. GoRNAN.
That gentleman is, of course, not an as
pirant in the sense that Mr.. CLEVELAND
and Mr.. HuL are. He is q United States
Senator, attending to his business as such
with extraordinary industry and sue
cess. lie has no time for working
beoms nor, indeed any pressing occasion
To work them. Mr.. RrsS is quite right TO
say. speaking for the Senator, that Mr..
tionMAN is not seeking or even thinking
Of the nomination. liut that is about as
far as Mr.. RISK can safely go. lie gets
far beyond his depth when he undertakes
TO pledge the vote of the Maryland delcga-
tion TO Mr.. CLEVELAND or to anybody else.
II is doubtless true that the sentiment of
the Democratic masses is at this moment
strongly favorable to Mr.. CLEVELAND.
That gentleman has singular hold upon
the respect and confidence of his followers.
And, with Democrats in general, ii is per-
haps true that Mr.. GoRMAN in particular
IL, as Mr. RISK says, Il stanch and enthus-
iastic CLEVELAND man. But Mr.. GoRMhY is
practical before he is enthusiastic. lie is
mot for Mr.. CLEVELAND at the cost of his
party's defeat. He is much more likely
10 be for his party at the cost of Mr..
CLEvEIAND's defeat. lie sees, as clearly
as any one can, that as things now stand
the nomination of Mr.. CLEVELAND would
involve the loss of New York. Unless the
partisans of Mr.. HILL and Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND can be brought together in much
better understanding than now seems pos
sible between them, the history of 1888
will he repeated in 1892. Mr.. GuR,iAN
knows this Everybody knows it. hut
one prophet has arisen-Mr. RUsK of
Maryland-to assure us that all this will
be changed within the next eighteen
months, and that Mr.. CLEVELAND can
safely be chosen rs the Democratic
standard-bcarer for 1872.
Meanwhile, TuE CRITIC will take n small
flyer at prophecy on its own account.
We will venture to say that unless Mr..
CLEVELAND can come before the conven-
tion of next year with the most satis-
factory evidences of having the solid and
enthusiastic support of the New York
Democracy, neither Mr.. GoRNAN nor any
other intelligent politician in the party
will counsel or connivc at his nomination.
Mr.. GoRMAN will support the most availa-
blc man, the man with the best chance of
winning for his party. IIeis that kind of
apolitician. And it is not at all impossi-
BILE that in the light of the developments
of the summer 1892, the available man re-
ferred to maybe Mr. GoRMNN himself.
