The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1892-05-26

David h. Hill is the "loRical candidate,n
the man who can be elected, the man of
victory, the man who, when elected, will
not disappoint the Democracy, but will,
as he has done in the great State OF New
York, build up the party OF the nation on
foundation sure and lasting. We want
no more such failures as Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Cleveland'a friends are now boast
ing that he has large ma1ority OF the
delegates and will be nominated on the
second ballot. 1t may be he and his gold.
bug friends and supporters imagine they
can rsilrond him through atChicago.
But they will flnd at Chicago 70 repre-
sentative capable Democrats from the
State of New York and others from other
States, who will he listened to and these
will give their fellow delegates TO under.
stand that it will be a dangerous perform
ance TO force Grover Cleveland upon the
| Democracy of that State, heading a set of
disorganizers there as he does. 1tmay be
plainly stated that IL cannot, and will not
| be done. The attempt may be made, for
the Cleveland leaders seem to be quite
| desperate; but IL will fail.
In 1874 Martin Van Buren, had large

yention, but could not get two-thirds, and

and was elected, defeating Henry Clay,
| Mr.. Van Buren, was popular with Demo
Gratis. His defeat in 1910 was not his fault.
He had not disappointed Democratic ex'
pectation, and he therefore had the warm
| sympathy of the Democracy everywhere,
and was fully and cordially endorsed by
| his own state of New York No bolt was
| there for him, as all New York Democrats
were his warm supporters. But some
| Democrats thinking he could not be

| good Democratic motto is, "EverythinR

The idea of nominating a man in face
of the protest of his own state, is prepos'

be done this yenr-unless men have lost
their reason, and only scheme blindly for
| power and plunder.
Mr.. Hil's career is interesting. He has
come up gradually, but surely. For years
he has been prominent and active politi.

as Tilden's lieutenant, and then as a
leader himself, Around him as leader,
the battles have surged, and he has always

was found to be master of the field. Then
| the Democrats of New York shouted,
"Hurrah for Hill"
| The Hill contingent may not make as
much noise as their appouents, but they
will count so much in the Chicago conven-
.tion. Besides the seventy-two able Demo-
cratic delegates from New York, Senator
| Hill will have delegations from several
other states and parts of delegations from

| Democracy who redeemed the great state
| of New York and placed her aloft as a
beacon Of encouragement and example.
