THE CLEVELAND WAVE.
II Cannot Garry Him Into the Whit

ElG W. G1FN'NS
Il Cannot Garry Him Into the white
House.
IL is evident that Cleveland is the |
favorite of large majority of the |
democrats Of the country. state after
state is iustructing for him, and he |
seems to have no formidable opposition
in any quarter outside of New York.
The probability is that he will 60 into
the convention with the practical sup
port of every delegation but that OF
his own state. An unprecedented stu
alton will thus be presented. In all
our political history II has not happened
that a man has been nominated for
president under such circumstances;
and IL remains to be seen " an eNcep-
ton will be made In this instance. IL
is well known that without the vote OF
New York no democrat can be elected.
That is the fact OF supreme Importance
To the party. And It is equally well
known that the vote Of said state can
not be obtained with II candidate who
is obnoxious TO any considerable num-
Der of democratic citizens. To what
extent Cleveland is persona non grata
in this respect Il is difficult TO deter
mine. On ono hand IL is claimed that
the sentiment against HIM is more APP
parent than real, and that In the event
of his nomination II would quickly dis
eppcnr, whereas ON the other hand II Is
insisted that this opposition is implac'
able, and that It will bolt the ticket in
case he shall be made the candidate,
p There Is no chance, Of course, for
. Hin to secure the nomination. II he
