PRESS OPINIONS.
What the Big Newspapers Say OF
Clpyeland's Nomination.

Boston, MASS, June 23.-The> eve
ming Record says: "The result hinges
upon New York's vote. Tammany,
with its firm grip on the city of New
York, and Senator Hill with hosts of
friends who believe in him and his I'M
scrupulous methods, are enemies of
Cleveland. If they knife the ex-
president at the polls he will suffer de-
feat for the second time. To sum up
the situation, can Cleveland carry New
York; Even then he may not win.
Without it he is hopelessly lost"
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 23.-The
Record (dem) says: "Grover Cleve-
land is the choice of the people and
the people have risen in their might
and have put him INC more in the
fore front of the fight for better govern
ment and for the reform of intolerable
abuses with which the republican ad-
ministration is unwilling or unable to
cope"
The North American (rep), says:
"The logic of the democratic situation
has been with MIR. Cleveland from the
first. Mr.. Cleveland is out and u the
strongest man the democrats could
nominate. His selection is good poll
tics because he has a fighting chance
whereas no man named in opposition
stood any chance whatever, supposing
what we believe to be true, that the re-
publicans are united for President Har-
rison.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June 23.-The
Evening Star says: ''The lessons of the
two conventions which will be drawn
by those who have watched the course
of politics are encouraging. Without
special reference here to the personal
qualifications of the heads of the two
tickets, it must be said by the thought
full obsesver of events hat the outcome
of the conventions so far as it has been
manifest Is distinctly in the line of
conservative action and elevated poll
tics.
LOUISVILLE, KY, June 23.-The
Courier Journal says: "With the ut
most freedom and frankness we have
from the standpoint of political STRAIT
egy, stated the objections to this nomi-
nation. We desired to have the party
ucdI anu SOliOiaCl bhCoC obJCStiNho3
that it might not act unadvisedly or
hastily, or proceed in this important
work in the spirit of anger or irritation.
We have urged the consideration OF
harmony, unity and fo~rbearance, and
we believe this labor has not been in
vain. The nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land has not been done in a corner.
The party has chosen him as its leader,
fairly estimating the influences arrayed
III opposition. 1t has heard the whole
argument for and against him and has
acted with due and dignifed delibera-
ton. 1t has preferred possible dis
satisfaction in New York to certain dis
content everywhere else. 1t has named
its leader with the confident expecta-
ton that the popular faith in him will
be deep enough and the peoples sup
port Of him enthusiastic enough to
counterfeit or override local dissensions.
This leader must have the u~nwavering,
the earnest, confident, compelling CO.
operation of every democrat, OF every
man, whether he calls himself demo-
crat or republican, who holds the
triumph of American principles dearer
than party success. The national con-
ventlon completed the ticket by naming
Mr.. A. L. Stevenson of Illinois as the
democratic candidate for Vice-presi-
dent and this selection will strengthen
the ticket where it needs most to be
strengthened. r.S%tevenson is a native
of Kentucky, now residing in Illinois.
An active, earnest and uncompromising
democrat, he has shown himself in
public office and in private life worthy
of any honor and equal to any station
