THE Philadelphia Telegraph is an indie
pendent Republican paper, and therefore dis
cusses Democratic affairs from perfectly i'm
partial and unbiased standpoint. In a recent
article commenting on the present rush for
Cleveland il says.
1t is as clear as anything can be that only
one man can stop this determined movement
to carry Mr.. Cleveland through the Chicago
Convention, and this is the ex-President him
self. In the absence of any letter Of protest
or withdrawal, his nomination at this time
seems as certain as anything IN politics can
be- The Democratic party appears TO have
counted the cost and made up its mind that
in this year of grace 1t is Cleveland OF
nothing The characteristic perform
ances of Editor WattersOn seem 10 be
making no impression whatever. Many Dem
ocratic leaders undoubtedly recognize the
grave fact that should Mr. Cleveland take him
self out of the field at this late day il would be
an exceedingly difficult and perlous task to
find any one to take his place. OF course a
dozen or more ambitious would-be candidates
might be run out of the bushes. but there is
not one in the entire number with national
reputation and influence equal to that Of the
ex-President: not one who so thoroughly rep
resents in himself and his declarations lead
ing Democratic principles; not one whose
nomination would arouse one-tenth the en-
thusiasm that would greet the Cleveland
standard in every part of the country"
