The gentlemen who were nominated by
the Republican State convention to-day
have our sincere ympathy.-Pawtucke

Republican ticket are willing to work
when the call comes.
The record of Mr.. Clevelands public
life seems to us to confirm the belief that
his paramount wish for the coming con-
test is the triumph of the principles for
which he has stood, without regard to the
personality of the leader.-New Bedford
Journal.

land is as honest in his convictions as
any man; but you must ascribe to him a
considerable degree of doubt whether
the principles he represents are likely to
triumph under any other leader.
Grover Cleveland wants il to be dis
tinctly understood that he is in the race
even If he isn't quite so spry as some
other folks.-New York Press.
Fat Mr.. Cleveland unquestionably is,
but We'll back him TO run faster than
the New York bald head. He's the
better man of the two.
Grover Cleveland was beaten for the
Presidency fairly and squarely four years
ago He had all the machinery of the
great Office in his hands then. What has
he done since his defeat to endear him to
the American people, and what great issue
has arisen since he was carted to the po-
litical boneyard New York Advertiser.
Or in the terse phrase of Dan Sickles,
What use has the Democracy for restor-
ations!
Just now great deal of talk, moro or
less senseless, concerning the issues OF the
fight are being INDUCED in by outside
newspapers. Telegram
Why did the Telegram bolt if it didn't
want the World 10 take hold? But il
needn't get SO hysterical as to be un-
GRAMMATICAL.
The Enterprise has not read the News, or il
would know that this paper has pointed out
the evils Of the liquor tratiic many time and
has never said one single word in its favor.
But the liquor sellers do vote logically TO adj
vance their own interests every tine, which is
more than can be said for the third party)
Prohibtionists. The latter are doing a great
deal TO demOralize the country by voting,
practically, with the liquor sellers in many
Northern States. Evening News.
The whole matter caD be summed up in
few words, rs follows: The Nous,
while it undoubtedly deprecates. from
moral principle, the liquor drinking
habit, yet from motives of political policy
is willing to license the sale of that which
fosters it. That may appear to the Nc,Cs
and its party as the most direct road to
prohibition; but IL must excuse the
Enterprise when il prefers the more direct
route. Newport Enterprise.
The most feasible route To any point
seems to the News the route by which
a traveller can get there. BY way of a
third party there is no thoroughfare.
The platform is truthful mirror of the
sentiments of the Republican party. Only
one article was omitted that ought TO
have been added: "RcsolUcd, That to
get there we will repudiate or reverse the
foregoing at any time. Telegram.
The telegram, as a bolter. has acquired
valuable experience. but not Of sort TO
be valuable in Republican councils.
The incautious young man who parted
with his overcoat in the belief that spring
had come, is now shivering with regret
Chicago Post.
And the incautious Democrat who

Island will shiver worse than the Chi
cago man on April z.
Mr.. Hill does not want the presidency
any more than Mr.. Cleveland Each
equally wants it. Each ''goes for IL" i'm n

Brooklyn Eagle
Once in while, when the Eagle leaves
OF big words and cuts its sentences up
in convenient sizes, il SAYS something
wise and pertinent. Bring on your
Western man. We can thrash him.
Because the Democratic State Convcn-
