that matter enough?

Kansas City Star, Dem. There are not
enough Hill men in Kansas to be count
ed, and they will not ask for representa-
ton in the national Conventian. This is
discretion. 1t does not pay to fight and
get whipped.

Colorado Sun, Rep: Democratic poll
ticians find great deal of consolation
these days in repeating the assertion that
Mr.. Blaine is the strongest man in the
Republican party. They will find before
the year is out that there are other men,
any one of whom IS stronger than any
man they can nominate for president.

before the University of Michigan. He

New York Sun, DEM 1--WE are free
to say that in our opinion no candid ate
whom the Democracy can name in June
could have beaten Mr.. Blaine at the polls
in November; and, on the other hand,

Fort Worth Gazette, Dem The state
agricultural society Of Georgia has ex-
pressed its preference for Hill for presi-
dent by vote of sixty.nne for him to
thirty-one for Cleveland. 1t is noticeable
that Hill is strongest with the working.
men ana farmers and weakest with the
eastern brokers', and that Mr.. Ceveland's
positive strength, so far as it has been in
Dictated OF late, ls confined to the latter
class.
wv
Denver Republican, Rep: OF course
all the Democrats now profess to be over
j0yed because Mr.. Blaine has withdrawn
from the presidential race, on the ground
that he would have been the strongest
possible nominee of his party and that
anybody else can be easily defeated. We
heard something like this before in 1888
when Mr.. Blaine withdrew and Mr.. Harri
son received the nomination, but Demo
cratic prophecies regarding the defeat OF
Harrison were not fulfilled by the people
at the polls in November. President
Harrison will be nominated at Minneapo-
lis, and he will beat any Democrat that
may be named against him by an over
whelming majority in the election.

Kansas City Star, DEM: New Jersey
has joined the revolt against Hill. At a
meeting of Democrats of New Jersey an
organization was perfected which will
oppose the machine methods that have
prevailed in New York. At New Bruins.
wick, in the same state, the Democratic
society of Middlesex county held meet.
ing and adopted resolutions declaring in
favor of Cleveland, and pledging that
delegates shall be elected to the national
convention who will not support Hill.
Similar meetings have been held through
out the state of New York to voice the
sentiments OF the decent Democrats.
These people do not stand in with the
machine, and they will not be recognized
in the "snap" convention, but their in
tluence viii be felt at the proper time.

Chicago Herald, Dem: The claim that
an early convention has been called fol
the deliberate purpose of taking snap
judgment against Grover Cleveland and
his friends is absurd. How is it possible
to catch mapping man whose candidacy
for presidential nomination has existed
for three years and longer?
The truth appears to be that the ele-
ment which franticaly opposes the will of
the party organization in New York is
composed largely of one man Democrats.
They will vote the Democratic ticket if
Mr. Cleveland heads it, otherwise they
will not support it. At this distance they
would present more inspiring and pleas
ing spectacle if they would expend the
force now wasted in useless protests by
devoting it to earnest efforts to select dele
gates OF their choice.
