The ST. Louis hepubic, outspo~
ken FOR Cleveland or a Western
man for President, gives the follow
ing good reason why Mr. Cleveland
should be nominated in case Harri:
son is candidate of the Republ-
cans:
"Mr. Cieveland's popularity with
the masses of the Democratic party
outside OF New York is accounted
for by the general conviction that
! he is an honest and candid man who
does not play the hypocrl,e with
the people. Bu; this of itself is IN
sufficient TO accouht tor all the in
structions given for his denomination
:or he is far from being the only
democrat whom the democratic
masses trust because of courage,
honesty and candor. There Is IL
feeling amocg many of those Dcmo-
Gratis who pay most attention make
ing combinations for the electoral
college that the combination ,his
year must be on the votes of New
York, New Jersy. Conn ecticnt and
Indiana and that this necessitates
pntiing New Yorker at the head
of the ticket. AS Mr. Cleveland is
the only New York candidate avail
able. it is inevitable that this general
feeling shoult manifest itself IN Ell
forts for his nomination.
But even stronger than this is the
feeling that it will be good politics
TO force comparison between his
record and that of Harrison. The
four years of bis administration were
so prosperous and SO tree from Sec
tlonallsm, the finances of the coun-
try were so well banded, the bust
ness of government was so econom-
ically administered, that no Demo.
crat doubts the result of forcing the
comparison by nominating Cleve-
land agais st Harrison, and asking
the country TO decide between the |
tour years OF Cleveland and the sub
sequent four years of reaclionary
Radicalism, wastetui extravaganza /
IN expenditure, increase in taxation,
renewal of the Reconstruction pol-
icy, heavy bonuses for bondholders,
and exhausted Treasury, speculative
warehouse receipts injected into the
currency as legal tender, general
disturbance of trade, financial strin-
gency. 7 cent cotton, checked de-
yelopment and general reaction.
In case the republicans renomi-
nate Harrison at Minneapolis there
are now at least nine chances IN ten
that Cleveland will he nominated
against him. If Halrlson's plans
Tor reno,ninatlng himself could be
defeated aud some. strong western
Republican substituted for him, Mr.
Cieveiaud's nomination would be
much less probable IN the event Of
New York : protest against 1t. But
oven then it would be probable. for
him. Mr. Cleyeland's nomination
would be much less probable in the
event Of New York's protest against
II. but evcn then it would 20 prob
able, for the New York delegation
is likely 70 support Cleveland rather
than sec the nomination leave New
York. When il sees the convention
determined 10 nominate Cleveland
or western man u may find lis
objections to Cleveland disappear
ing very rapidly. Undoubtedly
Harrison weakness with the coun-
Try is the chief cause Of the general
movement towards Cleveland in he
Democratic party. The question Of
the case with which Mr.. Cleveland
could DO elected over any republican
otter than nurrlsoa has not been
considered, but Democrats are coufi-
dent Of easy victory with Cleveland
against Harrison.
