Ni,r Presidency for the Democ' atlc

which The Democrats OF the State think

\, dnuNt dispatch .Jcrats here ex-
from cnlhu:lash1. lion OF two or three
prcssivc rtmVcrnor Boics has in HIM
paperG5 pcof Presidential timber. There
| LbtoWccn some such expressions, but
S.ney do not como from the leaders OF the
party and arc lndulgcd in without con-
sutution with the Governor himself.
Strong us is the desire to have repre-
sentative on the Democratic ticket, the
feeling in favor Of the nomination of
Grover Cleveland Is still stronger.
There is devotion to the Governor, who
broke the long record or Republican sue
1csscs and who has just added to it the
distinction Of reelection. He is idolized
by his party and they want to sec HE
name grnciny National Democratic
ticket.
Mr.. Clcvelund's distinction is, how
ever, looked upon as greater still. While
Mr.. BOlcs made new local record, Mr..
Clevcland's feat was still greater in that
he broke the national record. Besides,
in the mind Of the average Democrat, 70
was the election and administration of
Cleveland that made possible the sue
| cess o! his party in 1889, and its second
success iE 1891, with the intervening
election in which the party elected Il ma
| iority Of the delegatloa IN tho 52d Con-
vresS. Horace BOiest was nominated Tor
Governor by Mr. Clcvclands closest
friends, and was elected because they
made special efforts in his behalf. The
prohibition issue, to which much OF the
sredL must he given tor this result, had
| been an active one for many year. 1t
was only when it was supplemented by
| the tarirr reform issue and tho masnili-
cent administration of national affairs
from 1883 to 1889 that such an effective
u1ion OF effort was made possible.
AS has been said, neither Governor
Boiss nor his special friends have ever
Thought oi the Presidency as q reward
for him at the present time. That they
have had un eye to second place during
all the montcS Of the canvass Just closed
is no doubt true. They have worked to
this end, aud sought such outside aid a.
was neccs airy with this purpose IN view
They have zone SO far, since the Cover.
nOl's nutnbie speech in New York last
DercnlGer, rs TO sound the lcadins
Democrats OF heiyhboring States, ant
have obtained Il good many assurances
of sympathy and support. BuG they
have not h&d the Presidency in view.
70 lllc man who knows the scntlmcn
O! the State on the Presidential ques
ton il is futile TO talk ,l any other nam
uan that OF Cleveland. During all tn
) canvass just over his name has been tn
/ one 10 cunj urc with everywhere. |
| spite y! the fact that the State COnver
3 ton ad .p,cd free silver plank, the Is
| sue was never thought of as q live con
l tributii3 element in it. Iowa was tn
;, first State to recover from the green
back craze. and the failure Of that move
-, mcnL has been followed by the develop
, mcnt Of Il large conservative element il
favor Of a sound financial policy. AS th
result oi this, Mr.. Cleveland not Onl
, lost nothing by reason Of his Anderson
! letter, but his position was Strengthens
| as soon rs this sentiment had Il chanc
= to show itself.
With the Vice Presidency in view, tn
election Of the Democratic candidate 70
Governor becomes an important ia TO
in the contest to be made before tn
, next National Convention. In Samuc
l.. Bcstow, who ran two years ago 10
+ this office and was defeated, only to b
| chosen this year, the party has ma
' in whose hands it is willing to trust tn
! Governorship. lie is New Yorker b
,. birth and training, q farmer Of large eH
= pcricncc, former Republican who hs
4 done good work in his new party rclt
: ton, and man Of good ability. 1t ma,
Q therefore, be put down in the countr
that the Democrats of Iowa will pr
sent the name Of Horace Boles TO IL
/, next Convention, but it will be as a Cal
u ditlate for second place and not for frs
:. And no amount Of local pride can les
q them to make the mistake OF asking f
a much in order that they may the mo
d surely set little.
n If the ticket should be Cleveland al
J. Boies it would be an interesting Ia
IS that Eric County, N. x, had furnish
A. both candidates. And they would n
So be strangers, either, as in 1865 tn
came near to running against, rath
than with, each other. 1t fell out
~ this way: Mr.. Cleveland had made
~ excellent record as assistant district ,
e torncy, and was nominated in the yc

a even then, that he was a strong can
ne date before the people. They cast abe
r. for some time for an available man
m pit against him, and finally pitched
he Horace Bocs, then in the active pr;
:" tlce Of his profession in one of the lar
n towns outside Of Buffalo. lie had ne'
~, been very active in Republican politi
at although he had served single term
