It is quite possible that the yelling of
spectators and gallery partisanship will not
disturb the deliberations Of national pOliti-
cal conventions Of the future. Just before
the adjournment Of the Chicago convention
Gen. Collins offered a resolution which was
referred, with recommendation for favorable
action, 70 the national committee, providing
tha. the hall Of the next convention should
accommodate delegates, alternates, press
Representatives, the national committee, and
no others. After the turbulent scenes Of

THE FREE PRESS need hardly express
its qualification at the action of the Nation
al Democratic Convention in nominating
Grover Cleveland for the third time for the
presidency of the United States. 1t was
our belief-frst, that success at the polls
would depend largely upon the nomination
Of candidate who would stand, in the
mind of the people. for the cardinal prin-
ciples of Democracy and especially for the
great issue of tariff reform, and whose
character and career would command the
confidence of voters of all parties; and,
secondly, that the party would seriously
endanger its prospects by resisting the de-
msnd of great majority of the people for
the sake of expediency or at the dictstiOn
of any faction or clique. With Cleveland
as the candidate and tariff reform as the
issue. the Democracy has nothing to apollo
gize for and nothing to defend; and with
its bad record-its force bill and Mckinley
tariff, its exiravagant appropriations and
administration scandaIs-the opposition
ought TO be on the run all the time, as, in
deed it is already.
