Tho pomocrntlc sItuntion.

Tho monster mass meeting OF Cleve.
land boomers in New York to protest
against Senator Hills snap.convention,
emphasizes in an eloquent manner what
everybody is beginning to realize is a
fact-that the split IN the Democracy Of
tho Empire state is SO hopeless that 1t
will DO utterly impossible to nominate
either Cleveland or Hill for tho presi-
dency.
There was time, not long ago,
when it looked rs il Hill would havo no
difficulty about going into the conven-
ton with his state solidly at his back,
but recent events, for which he is solely
responsible, have served to kill his
chances. The Cleveland men will not
permit his nomination and tho national
Democracy will not dare to select him
as the standard bearer in the face Of the
certainty that they would not allow him
to carry the state OF New York. For
similar reasons the nomination of Mr..
Cleveland would be out OF the question.
That tho party will take up third
man, one who is not in any manner
involved in the bitter factional fight in
New York, !, foregono conclusion, for
Democratic success is largely dependent
on the carrying OF that state. This is
what the situation in New York means
SO far as the candidate is concerned,
but tho solution Of that difficulty will
not end the Democratic embarrass.
ment.
A candidate who is without entang-
ling alliances may be easily secured by
going west for him, but there is tho
little matter OF q platform which the
party is almost certain to split upon.
Tho two great iissues-silver and tariff,
will have to be met and straddlcd.
Upon the policy affecting these ques-
tons the Democrats in Congress are
already divided hopelessly.
A compromise in tho way Of strad.
die will doubtless be effected. This
will, in measure, relieve the embar-
rassment the politicians are put to, but
the masses Of the people who do the
voting will not be satisfied. In their
disgust they will do what they have
done before under similar circum-
stances, turn to the Republican party,
which has tho courage OF its convic-
tons and which will be found doing
business at tho old stand under the
banner of Protection and Honest Money.
The people always know where to find
the Republicans on these questions.
There are free silver men in the Repub-
lican party as there used to BIO Free
Traders, but the party is no moro
afraid to take position ior Honest
Money on that account than it has
been to champion the cause Of Amcri-
can industries. Those who prefer Free
Silver and FREQ Trade to Honest Money
and Protection have nc, place in the
Republican fold.

General Ayers Record.

1t appears that charges damaging to
General Ayers military reputation
were on file in the war department for
twenty-four years without his knowl-
edge. Now that they have been brought
to light through the enterprise" of a
newspaper, which has never failed to
seize an opportunity to smirch the
characters OF our greatest heroes, the
general has been given tho chance to
vindicato himself. This he does in a
manner as complete as possible, con-
sidering the fact that the two men who
could have done him tho fullest justice
are dead.
1t is regrottable that he did not have
the knowledge OF the existence OF the
charges while Sheridan and Custer were
living Gen. Ayers splendid services
to this country in;the field, the honor
able record he has made for himself
since, and the wcll-known fact that
both Sheridan and Custer held him in
high esteem, notwithstanding the latter
once bore him personal srudgc). up to
the time of their deaths, are sufficient
warrants for the belief that had the OPP
portunity been given the two generals
they would have vindicated him before
the world.
