THE FOREIGN PRESS.
English Papers as Usual IRE in Sympathy
With Cleveland.

LONDON, June %. - The Pail Mall
Gazette, commenting upon the nomination
OF Cleveland, says that it is a satisfactory
sequel to the nomination of Harrison by the
Republicans. In both cases the good sense
and good faith of the American electors
caused the best men to be chosen.
The Graphic thinks the defeat of Tam
many Hall gratifying demonstration in
favor Of the dignity and straightforward
ness of American public life. EHgIishmen
viii watch Cleveand's campaign with
cordial sympathy. for not only is his tariff
policy in accord with England's school, but
his party platform wisely condemns the ar
rogant foreign policy of its opponents.
The Chronicle thinks that the most re-
markabe event Of the convention was the
complete overthrow Of the protection ele-
ment and the reinstatement of the Mills
feeling. 1t thinks the outlook faV0rS Har-
rs0n's election.
TIE Daily News says Cleveland's nomi-
nation was inevitable. 1t fails to see any
great difference between the Democrats and
Republicans on the silver question and says
the tariff is the key TO the contest.
The Standard says: 1t matters little to
Engishmen which party is victorious. The
general outlines Of American policy are too
firmly fixed for either party to devlate ma
terialiy from them There is plenty of sem

they are not now divided by such deep
cutting issues as the Irish question
here. 1t was their turn yesterday to be
rent in twain. Let us hope ii is not going
to be ours to-day.
The Times says it is credtable to
both parties that they have chosen candi-
dates who were omen aud candid in their
appeals for support. While there is little to
choose on the silver question. the tariff
plank marks a distinct Democratic step in
advance. IL is difficult to predict, but we
are inclined TO think that HarTison'S
chances are slightly better and Cleyeland's
slightly worse than in 1883.

President Harrison Vas Not Greatly Inter

WASHINGTON, June 23.-As the nomina-
tlon of Cleveland was a foregone conclu
sion very little interest was taken in the
convention by the inmates OF the White
House. The telegraph office was closed at
10 80 p. n. and President Harrison retired
and knew nothing of the nomination until
o'clock this morning. An attempt was
made to interview the President by the As
sociated Press representative, but he de-
clned to say anything for publication.

tenths of the Democrats would have pre-
ferred some other candidate because the
record made by Cleveland is Lot approved
by his own party leaders"
Senator Alien of Washington said: 81
am inclined to think that Cleveland will
Lave the support OF the strong well-estab-
liShed Democrats in the State of Washing
ton. The Democracy Of that State is es-
pecially friendly to Cleveland. In my judg-
ment he will not make a specially strong
race"
The nomination by the Chicago Demo-
cratic convention OF Hon. Adlai L. Steven
son as the candidate of tie party for Vice
President was received in Washington with
every manifestation of popular approval.
1t is not too much TO say that Stevenson
has as many warm personal friends here as
any official who ever held public office in
the district. He was, while in Washington,
equally popular with both political parties
and possessed the confidence and friend
ship of President Cleveland and OF every
member of his cabinet. and had the regard
and esteem of Democrats and Republicans
in Congress alike. Mr.. Stevenson's admin
istratOn of postoffice affairs was able and
thorough and he gained for himself an
enviable record for efficiency and executive
ability.

TO one of the public parlors, where for three
hours he shook hands with stream of Wis
itors that passed rapidly through and were
presented to him. During the reception
most of the Tammany delegates called TO
pay their respects and all of them gave
words of cheer. 1t is estimated that fully
10000 people grasped the hand of the candi-
date for the Vice-P Presidency, ana at the
conclusion of the levee General Stevenson
was much fatigued.

he expressed himself RS confident of the
success Of the ticket. he considered the
platform very strong and one in respect to
which there could be no ference of inter

strength TO the party, particularly in the
West, and he had great hopes that the
Democracy woulu carry New York next
