rha LOGICAL Candidate.

It begins TO look as it the politicians
would not be able to prevent the uomina'
tion Of Mr.. Cleveland. His popularity with
the people is remarkable. In our dispatches
Yesterday Senator German Is quoted as
saying he does not see how Mr.. Cieveland's
nomination can be prevented nor how the
republicans will be able to keep him from
beng elected. And it is stated that
Senator Brice agrees with these views
Of Senator German. There are no
shrewder politicians in the country than
these two senators. One OF them Is the
chairman Of the democratic national com
uiittes and the other was his predecessor In
that position.
few days ago the democrats OF Rhode
Island elected delegates to the democratic
national convention and instructed them for
Mr.. Cleveland.
Thursday the democrats Of Minnesota
elected delegates and instructed them for
Mr.. Cleveland. Here are two states, one
10 the east and the other in the west, that
have named Mr.. Cleveland as their choice.
Only one other state has elected delegates.
and that one is New York. Senator Hill
has the delegation of that state, but strong
effort will be made at the national oonven-
ton to show that he is not the choice OF
majority of New York democrats. The
convention that is called to meet at SYRIA
ouse in May is expected to prove that Mr..
Cleveland is the choice Of the New York
democracy
The indications are that the delegations
from all the eastern states, except New
York, and nearly all the western states will
be for Mr.. Cleveland. And IL the wire-
pulling politicians will stand aside and
let the people act in accordance with
their sentiments about all the south
ern delegation will be for Mr..
Cleveland. 1t really looks as II
candidate who isn't supported by the dele
cation from his own state would get the
nomination. A few months ago It would
have been said that such thing was so i'm
probable as not to be worth a serious
thought 1t is certain that when Sen
ator Hill secured the New York delega-
ton he was sure that he had
made the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland i'm
possible, even if he had not placed his Own
nomination beyond doubt.
The cause OF MIR. Clevelauds remarkable
popularity is not In doubt. He stands for
pure politics and good government. The
people feel that they can trust him. They
have tried him and he gave satisfaction.
Outside OF New York It is generally be-
lieved that he is more popular with the
masses Of the New York democrats than
Senator Hill is. The belief is widespread
that the wire-pulling politicians deprived
him of the delegation OF that state. Sena-
tors Brice and German are quoted as say
ing they believe he can carry New York,
and can be elected without New York.
Mr.. Cleveland will make a speech in
Providence. r. l., to-day. 1t will be a
speech that will be eagerly looked for In all
parts Of the country. not so much for what
it will contain as that it will be regarded by
many as containing the political views of
the next President The election
In Rhode Island takes place next
Wednesday. The democrats have not been
victorious In that state in a presidential
year in nearly fifty years. II they should
elect their ticket this year their triumph
would be attributed to Mr.. Cleveland. But
whether Rhode Island goes democratic or
not Mr.. Cleveland's chances for the presi-
Dental nomination will not be lessened by
his efforts to help the democrats of that
state. he is the logical candidate, and that
fact is becoming clearer every day.
