Press Comment.

New York Herald-We have not favored
this nomination and have given ample
reasons for cur opposition. Whether the
country will favor it or whether II will be
shown that the Democrats have thrown their
opportunity away and invite defeat remains
TO be seen. The Democrats have chosen to
take unnecessary risks with the owner of
is pretty generally admitted. But il is too
late to mend matters, and they have nothing
left except fight which will tax their utmost
energy and courage.
st. Louis Republican,. Hill could not
have united the democratic party and his
nomination would have been followed by
DISCRIMINATION. In Mr.. Cleveland the
Democratic party has a leader whom all
Democrats can trust; whom all Americans
in all parties can trust. for whether they
agree with him or not they know that he is
can. a man of the people, full of sympathy
for the masses, with genuine American
aversion TO the classes.
Chicago Times-Prudence viii suggest that
every attempt that is reasonable shall be
made TO hold. occupy and possess New York
in the interest of the Democratic party, but
that there may be provision against the pos
sbility Of failure there II will be the duty of
the managers OF the canvass ID enter with
tremendous earnestness of purpose upon ali
attempt to carry the states of Indiana, Him
ois Iowa. Wisconsin. and so much of Michi-
gan as may be possible. Here, if success is
to be had at all the strife for victory must be
most earnest and intelligent.
Boston Herald-Cleveland starts out with
many manifest advantages. He represents
character. he represents dignity, he repre-
sents strength, he represents mOre-he rep
resents principle.

SILVER MEN HOT.
Convention to Be Called for Ac-
ton in Colorado.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Tonight, after
the adjournment of the national con-
vention. the following significant docu-
ment was framed and wired to the
West:
CHICAGO Ill, June 23.-To the Democratic
voters of Colorado: The nomination OF
Grover Cleveland and the palpably evasive
declarations upon the silver question by the
national Democratic convention confronts
the Democratic party of Colorado with seri-
Gus problem. If the convention had declared
that free bimetallic coinage was a tenet of
the party, and had Mr.. Cleveland accepted
the nomination upon such a Platform We
might have rested upon his reputation for
honesty and believed that he would i'll re
sponse to the obligations thereby imposed
sign free coinage bill should congress pass
one.
But with platform that is intended to be
Qnoted IN the East as not binding the party
in any degree to free coinage and in the West
as being favorable to 1t, and with candidate
for the presidency whose past utterances aud
official acts show him to be unalterabiy Op
posed to free coinage, it is plain that with
Mr.. Cleveland president Tree coinage cannot
be realized during the term Of his admins
Iration.
las between Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Harri-
son there can be no choice TO free coinage
men. Both have acted and spoken with
records that embody their judgments. These

SO dear TO Colorado hearts and unless the
free coinage can te cast aside as of secon-
dairy importance the country's welfare, the
plain question is presented 10 both the Dem.
oeratic and Republican voters. can they hon
esfls. with full sense of their obligation to
SELF home, state and party, aid either of
them to- the presidency?
This is not question for Us to consider;
il is for the party. We assume no response
bility except to speak the truth without pal
tering We simply MAKE plain statement
for the party to consider and act upon. This
Tar, under the peculiar circumstances, we
deem it our duty to go. 1t is for the party,
after full consideration, todetermine the rest.
That this may be done as speedily as pos
sible. we recommend that the proper author

DENVER, June 23.-The Rocky Mountain
News. the editor of which made free silver
speech in the convention, has bolted the
ticket. 1t is recognized as the leading Demo
cratic paper Of the state. Editorially it says:
1.-The worst apprehensions of the friends
OF free silver have been verified i'll the nomi-
nation of Grover Cleveland for the presi-
dency by the Chicago convention. Colorado
and the West have no more inyeterate or de-
termiHed opponent. and his nomination has
effected no change in the relationship nor
diminished to the extent of an atom
the disastrous consequences that his financial
policy would entail upon the agricultural and
mining industries. The News unhesitatingly
elects to sustain the people and the industries
to which it has been SO long. welded,
and refuses to betray their inter
ests by supporting Cleveland, thus
becoming a party to financial con-
spiracy, the elimination of which would in
volve certain and ruinous disaster to all who
are concerned in mining and would as surely
prove calamitous to the producing popula-
ton of the United States.' There is little
doubt that the paper will support the peo-
pies nominees The News is owned by Hon.

ment to the press:

Differences of opinion and Judgment
in Democratic conventions are by no
means unwholesome Indications; but it

the importance of our success to
the country and to the party, that
there should lie anywhere among
Democrats any lack Of harmonious and

Which opens before us. ! have there

Mr. Cleveland was terribly tired when
the news OF the lall0ting reached him.
Joseph Jefferson departed at 4:30
O'Clock from Gray Gables. Mrs. Cleve-
land went to bed at O'Clock, and when

sought his chamber it was nearly 5.
TeiegraIns by the BusIieI.
Cloudiness and rain have marked the
day at Gray Gables, and Mr.. Cleveland
las passed the entire day at home. He
had some callers, but his time has been
largely occupied in reading telegrams
of cOugratulatiOn from various sources,
of which he has had over 200. and many
more are yet TO come, having been de-
layed in Boston by the crowded cOndi-
ton of the wires. The kilograms are
in the main in gentle language.
Among others are dispatches from
ex-Gov. Green, of New Jersey; Gov.
Pattison, OF Pennsylvania; PinkneY
White. of Maryland, and one or two
others from members of the Tammany
organization of New York, but largely
the telegramS have been from Demo
cratic friends.
Mr. Cleveland was asked this after
noon if he had received any cOngratu-
lau0ns from Hill or the Tammany Or
ganizati0n as a whole, and he smiled as
he answered in the negative.

Get in Line.

LOUISVILLE, KY. June 23.-The
Courier-Journal says:
With freedom and frankness we have from
the standpoint of political strategy stated
the objection to this nomination. We de-
sired to have the party hear and consider
these objections. that it might not act unad-
visedly or hastily or proceed in this impart-
ant work in the spirit OF anger or irritation.
We urge the consideration of HARMONY. unity
and forebearance. and we believe this labor
has not been in vain.
The nomination of Mr.. Cleveland has not
been done in a corner. The party has chosen
him as its leader fairly, and estimating the
influences arrayed in opposition. 1t has
heard the whole argument for and against
him. and has acted with due and digniied
deiberaiion. 1t has preferred possible
dissatisfaction in New York taciturn discon.
tent everywhere else. II has named its
leader with the confidential expectation that
the popular faith in him will be deep enough
and the people's support of him enthusias
tic enough to counteract or override loyal
discussions This leader must have the un
wayering, the earnest confidence, COMPEL
ing the cooperation of every democrat. every
man whether he calls himself Democratic
or Republican who holds the triumph OF
American principles dearer than party

necessary to elucidate the abuses of Re-
publican legislation and mal-adminis-
tration. against which the Democratic
party is opposed. He thought the tariff

and comprehensive and believed 1t to be
an issue which would enter very largely
into the discussions of the coming

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The nOmi-
nation by the Chicago convention of
Hon. Adlai Z. Stevenson as the candi-
date of the party for vice president was
received in Washington with every
manifestation of popular approval. 1t
is not too much to say that Mr.. Steven
son has as many warm personal friends
here as any official who ever held public
office in this district. He was, while in
Washington, equally popular with both
political parties and possessed the con-
tidence and friendship of President
Cleveland and every member OF his
cabinet, and had the regard and
esteem of Democrats and Republicans
in congress alike. At the pOstOffice
department. where he was first assist
ant pOstmaster-general under the Cleve-
land administration, many of the the
employees today expressed their gratlfl-
cation that this great honor had been
conferred upon their former chief. Mr..
Stevenson's administration of postoffice
affairs was able and thorough, and he
gained for himself all enviable record
for efficiency and executive ability.
The Democrats or this city consider him

THE AGRICULTURAL BILL.
One Amendment Sends 1t Over to
Monday.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 23.-The
agricultural appropriation bill was dis
posed of by the senate today except as
to one amendment, which action has
been reserved till the senate meets
again Monday. That amendment gave
rise to so much discussion and to so
much opposition that a yea and nay
vote upon it could not be dispensed
with, and such vote would have dis
closed the absence of quorum. 1t was
in relation to the provision as to monthly
crop reports. The bill as passed by the
house required them to be strictly con-
fined to percentages and to be without
comment. The senate committee OH APP
preparations recommended the striking
out of the restrictive word, and it was
that recommendation which Mr.. Vest,
aided by Mr.. Washburn and others,
fought and which still remains to be
voted upon.
