why Cleveland is Strong.

Grover Cleveland is strong in New
York says the New York World No
other democrat would this year get
as many votes as he.
The democratic leaders who OPP
posed his nomination will support
him loyalty. The World has pledg-
ed them to do it. They will do it
for their own future salvation if for
no other reason. The rank and file
are democrats. Cleveland has many
and devoted admirers among them.
The alternative will be Harrison with
all that this implies. 1t is little
over four months till the election.
There will be no boiling nor sulk-
ing.
Cleveland is stronger with the
non. partisan business men than any
other democrat would be. He is the
candidate best fitted to divide their
vote with Harrison. He has been
tried and not found wanting. Bust
ness likes certainties. 1t knows
where it would find Cleveland.
Cleveland will get thousands of
independent and mugwump votes
that no other democrat could com
mand. He lost many Of them in
1883, but "Harrison's wild debauch
of spells" has brought them back
Cleveland will get more repu blican
votes on tariff issue than any other
democrat. He embodies the issues
on which the campaign must mainly
be fought.
Cleveland will get many votes on
his character. He represents the in =
tegrity, independence and best reform
spirit of the democracy. His sturdy
honesty, courage and fidelity to duty
would be more than an Offset to the
unquestioned high personal qualities
of President Harrison.
The World believes that he will
have the largest vote ever cast for a
democratic candidate in New York
state"

At meeting Of The committee Of
twenty -four Of the TammaEy Hall
organization, called for the purpose
Of perfecting arrangements for the
campaign, Richard Croker opened
the ball by an address in which he
said among other things. "Tbis is
an important Presidential campaign
important to the country and to this
organization The National Demo
cratic party is looking at US. The
dissatisfaction which Democrats in
other States feel toward New York
Democrats has been caused by US
that is, a good deal of it. has been
caused by the way in which we sup
ported Senator Hill. We gave him
our best, and, taking all the circum-
stances together, we did the right
thing
"But-Mr Hill wasn't nominated
and Cleveland was. / am convinced
that Mr.. Cleveland is stronger with
the people that Mr.. Hill would have
been and that the party is not weak
ened by his nomination. / have
been looking over the field and / am
convinced also that Cleveland can
carry the State by q larger majority
that any Presidential candidate in a
generation 1t is very curious
thing-I don't know whether you
have noticed it or not-but Presi-
Dental results in this State alternate.
Mr.. Lincoln carried the State in
1864. In '68 Seymour carried it for
the Democrats. Then Grant, in 70,
brought the State to the. Republi-
cans. But in '76 again Mr.. Tilden
carried it, Garfield in 80 Cleveland
in "a, and Harrison in 1888. 1t is
swinging toward the Democracy this
fall.
''The party will carry the State,
and it is our affair to create ma
jority in New York that shall be
greater than that of Seymour in
1868, Tilden in 1876 or Cleveland s
first majority in 1884.
Cleveland is going to carry the
country and it won't do for us to
lose this State. Wehave got to win. u

The fighting between the work
ingmen and The Pinkerton guards at
the Carnegie steel mills and the
causes leading to the fighting prove
the utter fallacy Of the arguments
that protective tariff tends 10 in
crease the wages OF workingmen. No
one interest in the country has had
such complete protection as the steel
industry, and no single manufactur-
ed product more carefully looked af-
ter by the trainers of the Mckinley
bill than structural steel, the princi-
pal product of these works.
Yet Notwithstanding the great
benefits enjoyed by this company un-
der the recent tariff laws it has or
dered a reduction in wages Of from
ten to forty per cent and is trying to
enforce it with Winchester rifles in
the hands of Pinkerton detectives.
1t is generally believed by men of all
parties that the lockout and conse
quent fighting will cause loss OF
many votes to the republican party
this fall. The leaders OF that party
are bitter against Carnegie for allow
ing the trouble to break out, especial
ly at this time just on the eve Of a
presidential election. Many men
not interested in any way in the out
come of the trouble will change their
votes on account of it, not only in
Pennsylvania but in many other
states as well. A Pennsylvania rep
resentative says: "If this thing con
tinues much longer Cleveland will
carry Pennsylvania"

Every delegate from Monongalia
who is a real friend of Moreland
will work first, last and all the time
for his nomination orjudge, regard
less of his preference for anybody
else for any other office. 1t is sug-
gested that the delegation should
caucus before going to Parkersburg.
1t is presumed that this delegation
will be satisfied with any candidate
for any other office who is mentally
aud morally qualified 10 ably and
conscientiously perform the duties
of his oilice, provided he is strong
and popular democrat. But nobody
will suit our people so well as More
land will for Judge.

The lynching Of the negro Jones,
who murdered Michael Tierney, is to
be deplored by all orderloving law
abiding citizens. Strictly speaking
the taking Of the law into their own
hands by body Of citizens is never
justitiable and especially not under
circumstances as in this case, where
there was no warrant for the belief
that the murderer would not receive
the full measure Of punishment for
his crime. The enormity Of the
crime is no excuse for this total sub
version Of law, yet since it has now
happened and it is too late to ne pre-
vented, our sympathies are with
those who executed justice in such
manner.

The state Convention.


will meet at Parkersburg on the 9th
instant, to nominate a full State
ticket, from Governor down.
For time the chief contest seem
ed to be over the office of Auditor,
which is one of the most profitable
in the State. But just now the in
terest centers in the governorship.
AT the opening of the campaign
Mr. McCorkle, from the southern
part of the State, seemed to be in the
lead. He was the first in the field,
and his energy, vigor and sprightli
ness captured the people in the To-
calities where he visited.
But Judge Benefits more recent
canvass has served to check MeCor
llle's boom, and to give color to the
impression that if he has not effec-
tually spiked his battery, be has, at
least made it a drawn battle be-
tween the two. Judge Bennett has
been gradually gaining ground. He
makes a good impression and it is
safe to predict that his strength in
the convention will be equal if not
greater than any man in the field.
We do not believe, however, that
any one will be able to secure the
nomination on the first ballot,
Eastman will then loom up. The
fact is that just in proportion as
MeCorkle's boom has declined in
the canvass, Eastham's strength
has increased. The indications are
that it will be so in the convention
McCorkle's and Benefits forces
are the hostile elements in the con
test. McCorkle's friends will not
go to Bennett in any event, and it is
almost a foregone conclusion that
when it is once demonstrated that
McCorkle cannot win, his supporters
will be for anybody to beat Bennett.
Eastman will unquestionably be-
come, in this event. the most for
midable man with which to antag-
onize Bennett.
The situation at this point will
become intensely interesting. The
question will be whether Eastman,
reinforced by MeCorkle can capture
the prize. AS the case now stands,
we think there is no doubt but that
Eastham's vote added to the vote of
either of the other candidates would
carry the convention.
The logic of the situation there
fore, puts Eastman in the position
of the most promising candidate in
the field. If this is not what the
democratic party wants it is what the
democratic convention is likely to
do. We had better face the situa-
ton as it is. We are not expressing
any preference, or seeking to advance
the interests of any candidate in
this review of the situation. We
want Democrats to 90 into the con
vention with their eyes open and
think about the result before, rather
than after, it is settled.
SO far as we are able to judge, Mr.
Eastman, If he secures the nomina-
ton, will be a worthy representative
of the Democratic party in the
pending campaign. He will carry
the full strength of his party, and
will, probably, more than either of
the other candidates, be able to
check the disintegration which is
going on through the Alliance
and other factions, and which
in some counties presents a very
complicated state of offairs.
This much, however, is assuring,
that any one of the candidates like.
ly to be before the convention will
make standard bearer worthy of
the suffrages of the whole Demo
cratic party.
