Our Dover Letter.


Dover, June %, 1S92.--The news OF
the nomination of Cleveland by the
Democratic Convention was received
here with anything but general satis-
lection, end many Democrats speak
bitterly Of the yascllating Conduct OF
at least two OF the delegates from this
State to the Convention.
OF course the State Convention gave
mo INSTRUCTIONS to the delegates as to
who they should vote for, but 1t was
generally believed by the convention
that they should not vote for Mr..
Cleveland. Hills views of the silver
and come other questions are more in
consonRnce with the opinions Of the
majority OF Democrats here than those
OF Mr.. Cleveland, and hence two OF the
delegates, before leaving for Chicago.
spoke al Dover In very pronounced
language against the nomination Of
MIR. Cleveland.
i With Democrats who have no party
principle or policy, one candidate is as
good as another, II he can get the
party nomination. And so it is sup
posed that Mr.. Bayard, the representa-
Tive OF wall Street, must have assur-
ed the success of Mr.. Cleveland or else
the whole OF the six delegates from
delaware would never have voted for
, his nomination. But their conduct in
so doing is not approved OF by hide
pendent Democrats. Nor Is the pomi
nation of Mr.. Cleveland at all satlsfac.
-ltory. Hence the great difficulty at.
tepding the attempt to get up a re.
spectacle and enthusiastic ratification
injecting here on Friday evening.
During the forenoon ofE15day hand
: bills calling on the Democrats to turn
I out and attend meeting at o'clock,
were literally distributed, and tho Me
chanic's band was hired to parade the
tstreets, which II did from to So'clock,
but, Notwithstanding the meeting was
T attended only by the rag-tag and bob
tuil who were attracted by the music
: and few chronic Office seekers. The

tendance of Hon. John u. Pennington
ex-member of Congress. who spoke III
high terms OF approval OF the nomina-
S ton of Mr.. Stevenson for Vice-Presi-
I dent. with whom Mr.. Pennington said
he was intimately acquainted, and

much in the past for Democratic

nolds d Co.
Thomas +. Bayard has for the last
ten years been considered by intelli
/, gent men in Delaware as much
4 "oyorrated man." and 1t is evident
:: from an article which appeared in last
;. saturdays "DelawaIean" that the
4 committee on Resolutions at the Dem
. ocratic Convention at Chicago were OF
the opinion that T. +. Bayard was un.
able to ill the bill OF pretensions made
for him by his friends.

more and more in favor of President
Harrison and even Democrats. WHO he.
