ton, and makes the following compari
son between HILL and CLEVELAND:
Gas soon as FLOWER was nominated
both the leaders, HILL and CLEVELAND
were called upon as ordinary members
of their party to do their share of work
The first time they appeared was at the
| ratification meeting in New York city
Both made speeches and both spoke well
but the comparative strength of the two
showed up before the country for the
| first time. New York, with Tammany
the chief democratic strength, has always
been paraded as an enemy to the ex'
president and a friend to the governor
On this occasion the democratic audi
ence fairly went wild owe the presence
and speech of CLEVELAND. When he
made a period he could hardly go on
again for the enthusiasm that greeted
him and all he said.
THE applause for HILL was very
great, but he failed to inspire the hurah
and noise and other evidences of enthu-
siasm that were inspired by CLEVELAND,
In this part of the country it began to
be seen that between the two men
CLEVELAND had the best of it with the
popular heart in New York. Then both
went out to make speeches. Those OF
HILL show a great strength, show that
he is an intellectual man and a politician
of high order. The newspapers give
space every day to what he says and
compliment him on the way he says it.
The loyal HILL men still insisted that
their man was losing no ground in COM
parison to CLEVELAND in this fight, till
the latter made his speech in Kings
county. Then the HILL men here adj
mitted that the truth could be no longer
concealed and that the ex-president
stood shoulders above all men in the ss-
timation of the democratic party of New
York and the East.
"This fact may be unpleasant to the
ears of many people in Texas and in
many southern and western states, but it
is the truth. I do not know that l have
any admiration for the personal charac-
ter of MIR. CLEvEAAND. | do not mean
by this that | consider him a man of bad
or vicious character, but he has about
him an individuality which is rarely
pleasant in any person. He is a man
who labors to be correct in arriving at a
conclusion or an end. When he has
reached it be is so convinced of the
ground that he stands upon that he be-
m egotistical. The greatest COM
plant against him is that he believes that
there is no n in the party worth MOTTO
ing except himself. This is an error and
an unjust one. But there is no doubt
that he feels just as large intellectually
as any other man.
The silver question may be disposed
Of by the next congress by the passage
of a bill providing for the coinage of
American silver. Harrison would sign
such a bill and endeavor to catch the
silver miners and silver men elsewhere
by it. 1t is to be hoped that the ques
ton can be kept out of politics in 1892.
And even if it will not down then, the
democrats of Texas and the South may
as we'll know now as at any time that the
east is opposed to free coinage, and from
every indication at this time they intend
to advocate for presidential candidate
the strongest man in the party, and who
is with them in his ideas. That man is
GROVER CLEVELAND, of New York. And
unless he lies or unless there is a very
great revolution in sentiment all the
powers of earth cannot prevent his NOM
ination by the democratic party for pres
ident in 1892"
And THE GLOBE believes that the
above is the situation, and that CLEvE-
LAND will be the man.
