Cleyeland's Expected Visit.

Cleveland's Expected Visit.
California is greatly excited over the
prospect OF visit from GROVER CLEvE-
LAND. The papers are full of it and
public anticipation is on tiptoe. The
news that BENJAMIN HARRISON will de-
liver law lectures at the STANFORD uni
versity after he vacates the presidential
chair, though highly satisfactory in edu-
catio en- Il circles, is not a circumstance In
the public estimation compared with a
visit from the president-elect.
The hospitality OF Californians is pro-
verbal. They will Guido themselves in
according welcome to CLEVELAND, if he
will make them call. Hunting. shoot
ing and fishing will be provided for him
which he would never forget, and the
wining and dining and hearty receptions
he would have to accept would give him
good idea OF lie on the Pacific slope.
When Mr.. HARRISON paid California
visit he disappointed a great many people
by his GOODNESS and hauteur, and enraged
others by snubbing their efforts to please
him and by treating some of their elabor-
preparations with disdaln. He lost Cali
fornia partly through disgusting many
Republicans, who swore they would
never vote for him again.
1t is to be hoped that Mr.. CLEVELAND
will be able and willing to accept of the
pressing invitation extended to him by
people of the Golden State. A President
of the United States ought to know some
thing personally of the country over
which he presides. No man can form
correct view of the extent, resources and
possibilities of the west until he has seen
it. A hurried trip across this great con-
tinent is better than none at all. Study
ing a map and coming over figures of
distances and boundaries cannot take the
place of personal observation and contact.
CLEVELAND would learn more of the re-
gion west of the Missouri by one journey
to and from the coast than he could in
decade by reading aud conversation.
Utah would vie with California in greet
ing the great chief of Democracy and
choice OF the American people for
second presidential term. After seeing
the place and the people he would be
more than ever their friend. GRANTS
animosity against Utah, formed from evil.
reports, was taken out OF his heart by his
visit to this city, We hope CLEVELAND
will come aud have his good opinions of
Utah fully confirmed:
The work accom- plished by the hardy
people who opened the pacific slope to
civilization, after travelling overland in
the days when this region was a desert,
can only be comprehe lded by following
in thair track. And even in palace car,
whrling in two or three days over the
wide stretch which took three or four
months to traverse with OK teams in the
fifties, a tourist can obtain better idea of
the tolls endured and the wonderful
changes wrought than by anything short
of seeing the country.
After the interest aroused over the pos
sibility of CLEvELAND's advent, it viii
be great disappointment to all the
people of the mountains and the coast, if
he fails to avail himself OF their cordial
invitation and the opportunities and adj
vantages it will afford.
