The Cleveland Club put out to the public
on Friday night an address that Is full Of
sound and good sense. Its leading idea IS
that the members of the Cleveland Club think
Mr.. Cleveland the surest candidate OF election
that the party can put up, but their aim Is
Lot the election of any particular man as
President, but the election of Democratic
President. They are for Cleveland because
they believe he eau be elected President and
not because he is Mr.. Cleveland. But they
want the States representatives TO the Ma
tional Convention to 90 there uninstructed
and free. after communiug with their fellow
Democrats from every other part OF the
Union. to vote for that man who will
seem. upon the whole, TO be most available.
This is a sensible. just, open and manly
course. They have a right to think Mr..
Cleveland the most available man If their
Judgment points TO him as such. and II IS
open and manly for them to say so. But, as
sensible men, they perfectly right TO say
that they do not intend to endeavor 10 force
their views upon the representatives, OF other
States further than this may ensue from fair
and candid argument This seems 10 us the
true aud candid positions of all fair men, and
We cannot understand how any position in
CONSTANT with it can be perfectly frank
We are perfectly free to say that We DO not
ike the idea OF an "Anti-Cleyeland" Club.
Nh Cleveland has done nothing in his public
career to make the people of the South OPP
posed to his being President of the nited
States. and yet TO name club Anti Cleye-
land necessarily conveys the idea that the
members of that club have an objection TO
the man, Cleveland being made President.
Not only has Mr.. Cleveland done nothing to
cause the people of the South to feel MIN
ical TO him. but ne has done a vast deal 10
make them feel most grateful u him. To
speak thus of an "Anti-Clevelandn Club is 10
make the impression that there are voters
here VINO object personally 70 Mr. Cleveland.
We DO not believe that this is the case and il
would be most ungrateful return upon our
part If II were.
Further, the Anti Cleveland" Club is
Differed and engineered by open advocates Of
the nomination of Mr. Hill. Ii is very plain
that in fighting under the name of Anti
Cleveland" they are really fighting for Hill.
The meaning of the move is very plain.
Those engineering it know perfectly well that
in direct vote Of the people of Richmond
between Cleveland aud Hill Cleveland would
DO first and Hill nowhere But they also
know that there is large body of our voters
who think 1t unwise for the State of Virginia
to take any part at all in the controversy. and
this body Of voters is Ia that sense "Aat- Clevs-

land though most of them personally prefer
Mr.. Cleveland. The managers OF the Hill
move hope to get these voters to cast their
votes with them under the belief that they
are thereby simply expressing their view that
virginia ought to keep out Of tho quarrel en-
tirely. We want to warn these gentlemen
that in voting for the delegates put up by the
Anti Cleveland Club they will DO voting
for Hill II they vote for those put up by the
Cleveland Club they will vote for delegates
who believe Mr. Cleveland to DO the most
available candidate. but who oppose instruc-
tons and desire to leave the matter wholly
open TO decision by the wisdom Of the Ma
tional Convention.

UNRESTRICTED DELEGATES.

There is not a State in this Union, nor
county in any State that believes IN giving
iron-clad instructions 10 delegates to the con-
ventions OF the various States or to the
National Convention at Chicago. OF course
no sensible body OF men would ever consent
20 their representatives TO convention being
bound hand and foot 10 any one man e.
pecially should il be shown during the pro-
ceedings q the body shat Il would be useless
to follow his fortunes longer We do not
anticipate that this will be the case with the
Cleveland delegates at the Chicago Con-
vention. but 10 the contrary. When that

The announcement that Mr. Froude is seri-
ously debating in his own mind whether he
shall not decline the successorship 10 the late
Mr. Freeman as professor Of history at Cam
bridge University will be received with great
satisfaction by Engishmen who prefer the
principles of historical research and compost
ton which are represented IN the works
Of the latter. There WAS bitter antago-
nism between Alr. Freeman and Dir. troude
during the lifetime of Mr.. Freeman and
il originated only in a measure IN personal
feeling. The principles Of the Freeman
school Of historical thought are laborlous IN
vestieation. accurate statement and a style at
once succinct and unadorned. The principles

clude beside careful examination Of authori-
Ties a vivid and imaginative treatment OF an
historical subject.
Mr.. Froude himself has been frequently
charged with the grossest prejudice IN his
opinions and an.indiference to accuracy, but
much of the hostility to him as historian
has been entertained by men who abhorred his
rehgious views. None can question the
beauty Of bis style and the graphic power Of
his descriptions With the possible exception
of Macaulay he has not an equal In either
respect among the English historians Of the
present century.
Balancing against each other the two
schools Of historical writing OF which those
two men are the respective opponents. 1t WILL
be found that the same truth which is appii-
cable in all other branches OF human endeayor
is applicable here The perfect school Is rep
resented by the mean. The school Of Mr..
Froude tends to exaggeration, and therefore to
inaccuracy. in its eagerness 10 pro-
duce an effect. That OF Mr.. Freeman
errs on the side Of dryuess. The
skeleton and the flesh Of true history Is
there. but the animating soul IS only too
often absent. The historical works Of this
school are frequently only "a series Of details
mt topether with laborious care and iust ar
rancement. but lacking in the charm which
enchains the attention. because 1t stimulates
the Imagination or the reader
The Freeman method Of historical compo-
sition tests everything by a positive standard
and does not degn to turn aside to pluck a
SINGLE flower as it proceeds on its course
The popularity Of works written on this prin-
ciple is confined 70 students or men who are
seeking only for facts. The school of Macau-
Law and Froude IS the one that appeals 70 the
great body of readers aud its hold upon the
general favor IS likely % be maintained as
long as tho majority of people turn 20 his
tories for amusement and not for information,
and that will be for practically indefinite
time.

The Judiciary Committee Of the House has
made its report on the joint resolution which
was recently offered proposing that an
amendment should be ingrafted in the Con
stitution which would insure the passage of q
uniform ystem Of marriage and divorce laws
throughout the United States. The ma
jority report shows very clearly the
evils which would follow the adop-
ton of such an amendment. IF this
amendment were adopted il would open
up another large and fruitful field Of
legislation. and, once Congress came to ex-
ercise the right to regulate marriage and
divorce, it would. Judging by past expert

TWO RnneIIng Fighters.

SAN FRANcIsoo, July 1.-The general con-
census of opinion seems to be that the
Goddard-McAulife contest was one Of the
most awkward, unscientifc affairs ever
witnessed here between men of such promi-
nence. McAulitfe made poorer showing,
despite his good condition, than in any Of
his previous engagements, and it is general
ly agreed that his star has set. His defeat
is attributed to defective headwork. At no
time during the contest did he mix matters
to any extent, necessary with a man like
Goddard. The Australian is acknowledged
to be determined, forceful fighter, but he
has added nothing to his reputation by
last nights battle, and there is no reason
to believe he would make a better showing
against any OF the crack heavy weights,
now disputing the championship of the
world

OMAHA, Neb., July I.-Delegates to the
peoples party national convention are
arriving in large numbers. The indica-
tions are that every state in the union will
have a full delegation. The convention
will have more the appearance of a mass
meeting than an ordinary convention.
Those of the old parties composed only
about 900 delegates, This convention will
have 1,776. Notwithstanding the diversity
of opinion among the delegates, it is be-
lieved harmony will prevail. Among the
arrivals this morning is Gen. James B.
Weaver, of Iowa, who, next to Judge
Gresham, will probably be the most prom
inently mentioned for the presidency.
General Weaver says he is for Judge
Gresham if the latter will accept. In the
event Of Gresham's declination, however
Weaver says he is in the hands of the
party. A reunion of the blue and gray is
to be one Of the leading features of the
convention, and every feeling or sugges-
uon Of sectionaiism seems absolutely ban
ished from the convention

that it was jeopardizing him in his coming

LETTER-CARRIERs ANGRY.
SteVensOn's Actions when He was
Assistant POsLmaster-Gener


New York, July Letter carriers in
the city and all over the country are furi-
Gus at the action of the Chicago conven-
ton in nominating A. E. Stevenson for
vice president. There are 300 carriers in
this city alone and all of them remember
the manner in which he treated them
when he was first assistant postmaster
general under Cleveland. When they were
working for the eight-hour law in 1885,
they say he bitterly opposed them in an
underhanded and dishonorable way. Speak
ing of this matter to a Recorder reporter
yesterday, one of the officials of the Letter
Carriers organization said: 1.-The commit
tee that went to Washington at the time to
put the matter before the postmaster gen
eral had to do their business with Mr.. Ste
Yenson, for Mr.. Villas was i'll. Stevenson
said that he would assist US, but when it
came to the test he tried in every possible
way to defeat US. He wasn't able to do it.
but the letter carriers of the country will
remember his attempt. Letter carriers are
good fighters, and they have not a little
influence. This will be used against Ste
venson and his ticket in November
