As WE anticipated Mr. Cleveland, acting
consistently with the course which he has
always followed under the same circumstances
has declined TO take an active part in the
campaign which has opened in Ohio. We be-
lieve that this decision will commend itself TO
general approval. No just-minded man will
attribute it to Indifference on his part
to the success of Governor Campbell.
II am convinced" he remarked to a
representative of the Boston Herald
on Tuesday, that Governor Campbell
and all other minded political friends
will understand that If | decline TO go upon
the stump there are perfectly good and valid
reasons for my action entirely consistent
with most earnest desire for the success of
all Democratic candidates in Ohio or else
where.
'Of course anticipate the cry will be
raised in certain quarters if such request is
made and declined that am selfish and in
different to the success of the nominees of my
party. but such ill-natured accusations l do
not expect to escape in any event"
Mr.. Cleveland is too firmly convinced Of the
propriety of his action TO be moved by the
criticism to which his determination will e1-
pose him on the part of those who would con
denim his conduct even if he had decided to
go upon the platform in Ohio.
