The Fairhaven Herald says: "Henry Waiter
son makes four strong points against Cleve-
lands candidacy. He believes that the soldier
element which was opposed to him before will
be opposed to him again In greater numbers;
that the silver element which was opposed to
him before would be hostile to him now, that he
would lose large following in New York state
which he had before, and that he could not be
elected. These are all good points and many
Democrats besides George Hazard and d. II.
Gilman are OF exactly the same opinion - Mr..
Wattereon."

has, however, announced his intention to retire
from politics, and IL the party managers can in
duce him to build its policy hereafter they will
have to come down handsomely with the coin,
inasmuch as Hazard desires to devote his time
to the publication Of the history of Alaska"

the eight delegates from this state were "agin''
Cleveland, although uninstructed. And now
the members OF that convention are pretty
warm under the collar at Hazards presump-

from his present position in the party. The
trouble with that particular luminary seems to
be that he is composed largely Of mouth"
